SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also 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: Defraying Costs of Enrolling Displaced
Students (DCEDS) Program and Emergency Assistance to Institutions of
Higher Education (EAI) Program Applications.
OMB Control Number: 1840-0839.
Type of Review: An extension of an existing 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 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. There are two higher education funding
opportunities that require clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Congress appropriated $100 million for the Emergency Assistance to
Institutions of Higher Education program, to provide emergency
assistance to IHEs and their students in areas directly affected by the
covered disasters or emergencies. Congress appropriated $75 million for
the Defraying Costs of Enrolling Displaced Students in Higher Education
program, to 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. The application
packages contained in this request will be used to collect information
needed to determine eligibility for funding under these two programs.
