Title of Collection: Formula Grant EASIE Annual Performance Report.
OMB Control Number: 1810-0726.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, local, and Tribal governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,300.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 14,300.
Abstract: The purpose of Indian Education Formula Grant to Local
Agencies, as authorized under section 6116 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student
Succeeds Act (ESSA) is to assist grantees to provide Indian students
with the opportunity to meet the same challenging state standards as
all other students and meet the unique educational and culturally
related academic needs of Indian students. The Indian Education Formula
Grant (Assistance Listing Number 84.060A), is neither competitive nor
discretionary and requires the annual submission of the application
from either a local education agency, tribe, Indian organization, or
Indian community-based organization. The amount of the award for each
applicant is determined by a formula based on the reported number of
Indian students identified in the application, the state per pupil
expenditure, and the total appropriation available. The Office of
Indian Education (OIE) of The Department of Education (ED) collects
annual performance data within the same system that collects the annual
application. The application and the annual performance report are both
housed in the OMB MAX/<a href="http://Connect.gov">Connect.gov</a> Survey. Clearance was granted for the
Electronic Application System for Indian Education (EASIE) Annual
Performance Report (EASIE Part III) in a revised information collection
by OIE. This is a request for revision of this collection. We have
removed the fax number fields from this collection. In addition, we
propose revisions that will clarify instructions and improve usability.
