DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Impact Aid
AGENCY: Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, Department of
Education.
ACTION: Notice extending the application deadline date for Impact Aid
fiscal year 2003 section 8002 and 8003 grants.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Secretary extends the deadline date for the submission of
applications for Impact Aid fiscal year 2003 section 8002 and 8003
grants to April 12, 2002. Impact Aid regulations at 34 CFR 222.3
specify that the annual application deadline is January 31. Due to
changes in the applications that were necessitated by legislative
amendments in the fiscal year 2001 reauthorization of the program and
the subsequent revision, production, and distribution of the
application packages, the Secretary extends the deadline for the
potential applicants under sections 8002 and 8003 for Impact Aid
assistance for fiscal year 2003. Section 8003 applicants must still use
a survey date for their student counts that is at least three days
after the start of the 2001-2002 school year and before the extended
deadline of April 12, 2002.
DATES: Effective Date: This notice extending the application deadline
date to April 12, 2002, for Impact Aid fiscal year 2003 section 8002
and 8003 grants is effective March 13, 2002. The deadline date for the
transmittal of comments on those applications by State Educational
Agencies is April 26, 2002. The Secretary will also accept and approve
for payment any otherwise approvable application that is received on or
before the 60th calendar day after April 12, 2002, which is June 11,
2002, or the 60th day after the Secretary provides written notice to a
local educational agency. However, any applicant meeting the conditions
of the preceding sentence will have its payment reduced by 10 percent
of the amount it would have received had its application been filed by
April 12, 2002.

Individuals with disabilities may obtain this document in an
alternative format (e.g., Braille, large print, audiotape or computer
diskett) on request to the Impact Aid Program under For applications or
information contact. Waiver of Rulemaking. Section 222.3 of CFR Title
34, which establishes the annual January 31 Impact Aid application
deadline, is currently in effect. However, due to changes in the
applications that were necessitated by legislative amendments in the
2001 reauthorization of the program and the related revision,
production, and distribution of the application packages, the Secretary
extends the deadline for the potential applicants under sections 8002
and 8003. Because this amendment makes a procedural change for this
year only as a result of unique circumstances, proposed rulemaking is
not required under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). In addition, the Secretary has
determined under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) that proposed rulemaking on this
one-time suspension of the regulatory deadline date is impracticable,
unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest.
