Abstract:
On December 23, 2011, the President signed into law the FY 2012 Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-74), which provides appropriations for the U.S. Department of Education for fiscal year (FY) 2012. The legislation appropriates $284,461,350 for Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) competitive grants that must be awarded by September 30, 2012. The data provided through this information collection will be used by application reviewers and the Department to assess the extent to which an applicant meets the priorities, requirements, and selection criteria of the TIF program competition and determine which applicants should receive grants. The Department used information collected under this control number to award TIF grants in FY 2010. The information to be collected in project applications with regard to funds appropriated to the Department for FY 2012 under Pub. L. 112-74 is different from the information collected for purposes of the award of appropriated funds provided for FY 2010. The data provided through this information collection will be used by application reviewers and the Department to assess the extent to which an applicant meets the priorities, requirements, and selection criteria of the TIF program competition and determine which applicants should receive grants. In addition, ED will use the information provided in this collection to prepare summaries of the activities each grantee will carry out and will disseminate to members of Congress and the general public. ED will also use this information to monitor the progress and performance of each grantee in carrying out the activities described in the application.

Short Statement:
There is an increase of 100 in burden hours due to a program change. Specifically, Public Law 112-74 revises the collection requirements for each applicant to submit an application reference chart that identifies where in the applicant's application peer reviewers and program staff can find various required elements of the application, including where the applicant addressed the priorities and program requirements, where it provided a list of "high-need" schools, and, for group applications, the required memorandum of understanding or other binding agreement among the parties to the application. This change is intended to facilitate the review of applications, as well as to ensure that applicants do not unintentionally omit a required element of the application. The application reference chart appears in Appendix 1 of the application package.
