SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to
the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of information technology. Please note that
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered
public records.
Title of Collection: Impact Aid Electronic Data Collection (EDC)
Program Questionnaire.
OMB Control Number: 1810-NEW.
Type of Review: A new information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 30.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 8.
Abstract: The Impact Aid Program (IAP) in the Office of Elementary
and Secondary Education (OESE) at the U.S. Department of Education (the
Department) requests clearance for the Electronic Data Collection (EDC)
Program Questionnaire. This is a new information collection request. As
part of the Impact Aid 7003 application, Local Educational Agency's
(LEA) are required to submit data concerning federally-connected
children within their LEA. In the past LEAs have collected this
information using paper forms, but more recently, and particularly this
past year, there has been more interest from LEAs to collect this data
electronically. The purpose of the EDC program is to reduce
administrative burden and to create a set of best practices to assist
other LEAs in the development their own electronic systems. The
questionnaire will allow IAP staff to provide in depth technical
assistance to LEAs and potentially increase efficiency and reduce costs
associated with the Impact Aid data collection process. Prior to Impact
Aid approval of an EDC program, the LEA must successfully demonstrate
that their system complies with all requirements of the Impact Aid
program: U.S.C. 7703 and 7705, and regulations at 34 CFR 222.39-35.
