Abstract: Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act, Public Law 116-136
(March 27, 2020), authorizes the Secretary of Education to allocate
formula grant funds to participating institutions of higher educations
(IHEs). Section 18004(c) of the CARES Act allows the IHEs to use up to
one-half of the total funds received to cover any costs associated with
the significant changes to the delivery of instruction due to the
coronavirus (with specific exceptions).
Section 18004(a)(2) of the CARES Act authorizes the Secretary to
make awards under parts A and B of title III, parts A and B of title V,
and subpart 4 of part A of title VII of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended (``HEA''), to address needs directly related to the
coronavirus. These awards are in addition to awards made in Section
18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act.
Section 18004(a)(3) of the CARES Act, Pub. authorizes the Secretary
to allocate funds for part B of Title VII of the HEA, for IHEs that the
Secretary determines have the greatest unmet needs related to
coronavirus.
This information collection request includes the quarterly budget
and expenditure reporting form that will be used by grantees under
these sections, as well as comparable sections of the Coronavirus
Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSAA)
(Pub. L. 116-260) and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) (Pub.
