Change List Memo

Change Memo- Education Stabilization Fund - Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS) Program Recipient Annual Reporting Data Collection Form

OMB No. 1810-0765

Proposed Collection Changes for Year 2 (2023):

1.  Section III: ARP EANS Funds Returned to the Governor- ED proposes to include a new section on the form with questions dedicated to tracking how much American Rescue Plan (ARP) EANS funds were not obligated by State and subsequently returned to Governor. This section would replicate the same questions that ED included for the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CRRSA) EANS funds, but will only address the ARP EANS portion of funds. This section must be included because ARP EANS funds can now be returned to Governor with the current reporting period and in the future.

2. Section IX. Non-public schools receiving services or assistance under ARP EANS- ED proposes updating current questions that gather information related to the non-public schools that received services or assistance under the ARP EANS program.  ED gave States flexibility to use enrollment data from 19-20 or subsequent school year to determine the low-income population from a school. ED staff in OESE and the OCDO agree that current questions needed to be updated to reflect the differences of the ARP EANS program.

3. General Clarifications on Reporting Timeframes- ED updated language throughout the form clarifying when the reported data should be limited to the applicable and future reporting timeframes. We believe this is an important distinction to make for the second year from reporting and will further help grantees to report data accurately.
