Abstract: The Impact Aid Discretionary Construction Grant Program (CFDA 84.041C) authorizes competitive grants for emergency repairs and modernization of school facilities to certain eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) that receive Impact Aid. An LEA is eligible to receive an emergency grant under section 7007(b) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act if it has a school facility emergency that the Secretary has determined poses a health or safety hazard to students and school personnel. The Impact Aid Discretionary Construction Grant Program requires the submission of an electronic application. Applicants provide the data required for funding in the electronic application, OMB form 1810-0657, which was then submitted through G5. This change request to use Grants.Gov and the mandatory ED forms for the electronic application will result in a reduction in burden for the applicants, as well as eliminate the cost associated with the required coding changes needed to continue to use G5. The reduction in burden is due to the removal of duplicative questions from OMB form 1810-0657 that are already on the SF 424 and ED SF 424 Supplemental forms.
