Abstract:
This data collection is pursuant to the Secretary's authority under Part B of Title VI of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), to award funds under two grant programs designed to address the unique needs of rural school districts the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (ESEA Section 6212) and the Rural and Low-Income School Program (ESEA Section 6221). Under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, the Secretary awards grants directly to eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) on a formula basis. Under the Rural and Low-income School Program, eligible school districts are sub-recipients of funds the Department awards to State educational agencies (SEAs) on a formula basis. For both grant programs, the Department awards funds by determining the eligibility of individual school districts and calculating the allocation each eligible district receives according to formula prescribed in the statute. This data collection consists of two primary forms and supporting documents that are used to accomplish the grant award process each year: (1) a spreadsheet used by SEAs to submit information to identify RLIS and SRSA-eligible LEAs and to allocate funds based on the appropriate formula, and (2) an application form for SRSA-eligible LEAs to apply for funding.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
There is an adjustment decrease of 1,453 annual burden hours. With regard to Form 1 (the REAP Eligibility Spreadsheet), we have reduced the maximum number of SEA respondents from 52 to 49; the District of Columbia, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico are unitary districts, and by virtue of their demographics do not meet the eligibility criteria for either RLIS or SRSA. In addition, this collection will no longer ask SEAs to provide REAP-Flex or AYP data. With regard to Form 2 (the the Small, Rural School Achievement Program Application), the Office of General Counsel has determined that SRSA LEAs need not apply every year, so the Department has reduced the previous estimate of 4,500 applicants to an estimated 500 applicants.
