Title of Collection: ARP ESSER Rule Collection Activities.
OMB Control Number: 1810-0755.
Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 80,104.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,037,956.
Abstract: This is a request for extension of an approved
information collection by the Office of State and Grantee Relations
(SGR) in the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) at the
U.S. Department of Education (ED) for the interim final requirements
for the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency
Relief (``ARP ESSER'') Fund, under section 2001 of the American Rescue
Plan (``ARP'') Act of 2021, Public Law 117-2 (ARP). The interim final
requirements create information collection requirements for SEAs and
LEAs such as the requirement for an SEA to meaningfully consult with
various stakeholder groups on its ARP ESSER plan and to give the public
an opportunity to provide input on the development of the plan. The
interim final requirements also require an LEA receiving ARP ESSER
funds to develop and make publicly available a plan for the use of
those funds; meaningfully consult with stakeholders and consider public
input in developing its plan; and make its plan accessible, including
to parents with limited English proficiency and individuals with
disability. Finally, with respect to the LEA plan for the safe return
to in-person instruction and continuity of services required under
section 2001(i) of the ARP Act, this action specifies what the plan
must address; requires periodic review and, when needed, revision of
the plan, with consideration of public input in each case, to ensure it
meets statutory and regulatory requirements and remains relevant to the
needs of schools; and requires that the plan be accessible, including
to parents with limited English proficiency and individuals with
disabilities.
