On March 31, 2020 the Department of
Education (Department) published in the Federal Register a Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for the Demonstration Grants for
Indian Children and Youth Program (Demonstration Grants) (Vol. 85,
No. 62, pages 17794-17805). Specifically, we proposed revising the
regulations in 34 CFR part 263 that govern the Demonstration Grants
to implement changes to title VI resulting from the enactment of
the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and to better enable the
Department and grantees to meet the objectives of the program. In
addition, the Department proposed a new priority and accompanying
requirements and selection criteria for applicants proposing to
empower Tribes and parents to choose education services best suited
to their students’ needs. At the time the NPRM was published, no
Information Collection Request was submitted concurrently. We are
publishing a separate 30-day FRN to solicit public comment on the
paperwork burden.
US Code:

USC 7441 Name of Law: Elementary and Secondary Education Act,
as amended
The Department is seeking this
reinstatement with change of a previously approved information
collection request due to the proposed rulemaking for the
Demonstration Grants program. The total burden due to the change in
the program statute is an estimated 3,000 hours and 100 responses
respectively.
