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: Impact Aid Discretionary Construction Grant 
Program (1894-0001).
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0657.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 40.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 240.
    Abstract: The Impact Aid Program, authorized by Title VII of the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every 
Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), provides financial assistance to Local 
Educational Agencies (LEAs) whose enrollment or revenues are adversely 
affected by Federal activities. The Impact Aid Discretionary 
Construction Program provides grants to eligible Impact Aid school 
districts to assist in addressing their school facility emergency and 
modernization needs. The eligible Impact Aid school districts have a 
limited ability to raise revenues for capital improvements because they 
have large areas of Federal land within their boundaries. As a result, 
these districts find it difficult to respond when their school 
facilities are in need of emergency repairs or modernization. This 
information collection request is an extension without change of the 
grant application for this program.
