Title of Collection: Education Stabilization Fund--Elementary and
Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER I/ESSER II/ARP ESSER
Fund) Recipient Data Collection Form.
OMB Control Number: 1810-0749.

Abstract: Under the current unprecedented national health
emergency, the legislative and executive branches of government have
come together to offer relief to those individuals and industries
affected by the COVID-19 virus under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security (CARES) Act (Pub. L. 116-136) authorized on March 27,
2020, and expanded through the Coronavirus Response and Relief
Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act, and the American Rescue Plan
(ARP) Act. The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER)
Fund awards grants to state education agencies (SEAs) and for the
purpose of providing local educational agencies (LEAs), including
charter schools that are LEAs, as well as Outlying Areas, with
emergency relief funds to address the impact that Novel Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had, and continues to have, on elementary
and secondary schools across the Nation.
This information collection requests approval for a revision to a
previously approved collection that includes annual reporting
requirements to comply with the requirements of the ESSER program and
obtain information on how the funds were used. In accordance with the
Recipient's Funding Certification and Agreements executed by ESSER
grantees, the Secretary may specify additional forms of reporting. In
addition to reviewing the proposed revisions, ED requests stakeholders
respond to the directed questions found in Attachment A.
