Title of Collection: SEA Procedures for Adjusting ED-Determined
Title I Allocations to Local Education Agencies (LEAs).
OMB Control Number: 1810-0622.
Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, local, and Tribal governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 52.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,080.
Abstract: We are requesting a three-year extension of the current
paperwork clearance package (OMB number 1810-0622) related to State
educational agency (SEA) procedures for adjusting Title I, Part A local
educational agency (LEA) allocations determined by the U.S. Department
of Education (ED).
Title I, part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of
1965, as amended (ESEA), requires ED to allocate Basic Grants,
Concentration Grants, Targeted Grants, and Education Finance Incentive
Grants directly to LEAs. (See sections 1124(a)(2), 1124A(a), 1125(a),
(b), and (c)(2), and 1125A(c) and (d)(1)(B), (2)(B), and (3)(B) of the
statute at <a href="https://uscode.house.gov/browse/prelim@title20/chapter70/subchapter1/partA&edition=prelim">https://uscode.house.gov/browse/prelim@title20/chapter70/subchapter1/partA&edition=prelim</a>.) Title I, part A allocations are
based primarily on poverty data provided by the Census Bureau and
reflect a national list of LEAs that is generally two years old. For
example, the list of LEAs used for calculating school year (SY) 2023-
2024 allocations is based on LEAs that existed in SY 2021-2022. Because
the list of LEAs used by ED in determining LEA allocations does not
match the current universe of LEAs in many States, SEAs must adjust EDs
allocations to account for district boundary changes and newly-created
LEAs that are eligible for title I, part A funds but did not receive an
allocation under ED calculations.
