Abstract:
This is a request for approval of a new emergency information collection by the Office of State and Grantee Relations (SGR) in the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) at the U.S. Department of Education (ED) for the Elementary and Secondary School Education Relief (ESSER) fund and the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) fund authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020, Public Law 116-136, Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The CARES-ESSER (ALN 84.425D) program is a $13 billion formula grant program allocated to State educational agencies (SEA) for use in responding to and recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES-GEER (ALN 84.425C) program is a $2.9 billion formula grant program allocated to Governors for the purpose of providing local educational agencies (LEAs), institutions of higher education (IHEs), and other education related entities with emergency assistance to address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. A liquidation extension request will be required in order for an SEA or Governor’s office to receive approval to liquidate funds beyond the 120-day liquidation period following the period of availability of September 30, 2022. The Department will use the grantee’s request to review and recommend approval for a liquidation extension request.
Emergency Justfication:
Failure to make a late liquidation request template available to grantees this summer places an undue hardship on States, governor’s offices, and subrecipients. The template, which has been requested by States and organizations representing States, will greatly reduce the burden on States and ensure that the Department collects all the required information necessary to review grantee requests for an extension of the liquidation period as authorized by 2 CFR § 200.344. In addition, if the Department is not approved to collect the late liquidation requests through standardized means, States will be unable to carry out their ongoing recovery efforts related to the COVID-19 pandemic with these funds. These funds are essential for States and subrecipients to address the learning loss caused by the pandemic.
