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 Program--Application for Section 
7002 Assistance.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0036.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 215.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 323.
    Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education is requesting approval 
for the Application for Assistance under Section 7002 of Title VII of 
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). This application is 
for a grant program otherwise known as Impact Aid Payments for Federal 
Property. Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) that have lost taxable 
property due to Federal activities request financial assistance by 
completing an annual application. Regulations for Section 7002 of the 
Impact Aid Program are found at 34 CFR 222, Subpart B.
    Applicants prepare and submit these applications through an e-
application on ED's Impact Aid Grant System website. The e-application 
offers recurring LEA applicants significant advantages in preparing the 
application because it pre-populates much of the LEA's identifying 
information and Federal property data. The e-application automatically 
checks for completion of all necessary items and includes arithmetic 
checks for table subtotals and the application total. This software 
reduces the number of errors in applications submitted to ED.
