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

    Title of Collection: Higher Education Hurricane and Wildfire Relief 
Program Application.
    OMB Control Number: 1840--NEW.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 550.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 16,000.
    Abstract: The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, signed into law by 
President Trump on February 9, 2018, included significant new funding 
to support disaster relief. The U.S. Department of Education 
(Department) will award up to $2.7 billion to assist K-12 schools and 
school districts and institutions of higher education (IHEs) in meeting 
the educational needs of students affected by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma 
and Maria and the 2017 California wildfires. This disaster assistance 
will help schools, school districts and IHEs return to their full 
capabilities as quickly and effectively as possible. Pursuant to 5 CFR 
1320.13, the Department requests that OMB review this collection under 
its emergency procedures, based on harm to public due to an 
unanticipated/unforeseen natural disaster event that occurred beyond 
ED's control. There are two higher education funding opportunities that 
require emergency clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act: 
Emergency Assistance to Institutions of Higher Education: Congress 
appropriated $100 million for this program; which will provide 
emergency assistance to IHEs and their students in areas directly 
affected by the covered disasters or emergencies. And the Defraying 
Costs of Enrolling Displaced Students in Higher Education: Congress 
appropriated $75 million for this program, which will provide payments 
to IHEs to help defray the unexpected expenses associated with 
enrolling displaced students from IHEs directly affected by a covered 
disaster or emergency, in accordance with criteria to be established 
and made publicly available.
    Additional Information: An emergency clearance approval for the use 
of the system is described below due to the following conditions:
    The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, signed into law by President
