Abstract: Under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSA Act), Public Law 116-260 (December 27,
2020), Congress first authorized the Emergency Assistance to Non-Public
Schools (EANS) program to provide emergency services or assistance to
non-public schools in the wake of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-
19). The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP Act), Public Law 117-2
(March 11, 2021), authorized a second round of funding (ARP EANS) to
provide services or assistance to non-public schools.
This information collection requests approval for a new collection
that includes annual reporting requirements that align with the
requirements of the EANS program and obtain information on how the
funds were used. In accordance with the Recipient's Funding
Certification and Agreements executed by EANS grantees, the Secretary
may specify additional forms of reporting. In addition to reviewing the
proposed ICR, ED requests stakeholders respond to the directed
questions found in Attachment A.
