SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Application for DoD Impact
Aid for Children with Severe Disabilities; SD Form 816 and SD Form
816c; OMB Number 0704-0425.
Needs and Uses: DoD funds are authorized for local educational
agencies (LEAs) that educate military dependent students with severe
disabilities and meet certain criteria. This application will be
requested of military-impacted LEAs to determine if they meet the DoD
criteria to receive compensation for the cost of educating military
dependents with severe disabilities.
Affected Public: Local Education Agencies (LEAs).
Annual Burden Hours: 400.
Number of Respondents: 50.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 8 hours.
Frequency: Annually.
The data collection consists of an application and signature sheet
that must be submitted by fax with the original signature clearly
visible on the document. The application is identified as Secretary of
Defense Form 816 (SD 816), with SD Form 816C to be used as a
continuation page if necessary. In order for DoD to compute the maximum
payment amount, the LEA will need to determine and provide the
following information in its application. First, the LEA must provide
the special education costs of individual military dependent children
who have severe disabilities and meet the threshold for payments (at
least two military dependents with severe disabilities and the cost per
student must be at least five times the national average or three times
the state average for students with disabilities, whichever is lower).
These averages are provided to the LEAs by DoD in the application
guidelines and
[[Page 72066]]
acknowledged by the LEA in the application. Second, LEAs are required
to identify the number of eligible children who were residing on-base
or off-base during the previous school year. If any of the eligible
children were residing in base housing or in military housing
undergoing renovation or rebuilding and deemed as eligible for on-base
housing, LEAs will need to identify this number on the front page of
the application. Third, the LEA must provide its banking information to
receive payment. A sample ``Section II--Payment Determination'' is
included as part of the form to provide an example for LEAs.
