OFFICE OF INDIAN EDUCATION
FORMULA GRANT EASIE ELECTRONIC APPLICATION
SYSTEM FOR INDIAN EDUCATION (EASIE)
Revisions to the EASIE Part I and Part II Application
Abstract: The Indian Education Formula Grant (CFDA 84.060A) requires the annual submission of an electronic application. Each award amount is determined by formula, based upon the reported number of eligible students identified in the application, the state per pupil expenditure, and the total appropriation available. Applicants provide the data required for funding in the annual electronic application. This change request to use OMB MAX for the electronic application will result in a reduction in burden of 1,950 hours and $39,000 for the public. The change in burden is due to technical changes in the forms that made them electronically fillable and a reduction in the number of questions in the collection.
How to use this document: This document is designed to inform Title VI Formula Grant Program grantees of the changes to the EASIE Part I and Part II application that is being migrated from the EDFact data system to OMBMAX survey. This document is a description of changes from the old EASIE Part I and Part II form to the new revised EASIE Part I and Part II forms that are being migrated into OMB MAX survey. The Page numbers are from the old version of the form.
