Abstract: The Gulf Coast Recovery Grant (GCRG) is a new program
authorized in Public Law 111-117--the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2010. The Act reserves $12 million for competitive grants to provide
funding to local educational agencies (LEA) in counties in Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Texas that were designated by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as counties eligible for Individual Assistance due to
damage caused by Hurricanes Katrina, Ike, or Gustav. Funds can be used
to improve education through such activities as replacing instructional
materials and equipment; paying teacher incentives; constructing,
modernizing, or renovating school buildings; beginning or expanding
Advanced Placement or other rigorous instructional curricula; starting
or expanding charter schools, and supporting after-school or extended
learning time activities.
The requirements under this grant include information collection
activity covered under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The activity
consists of the development of a new application for a LEA to submit to
the Department to apply for FY 2010 funds.
This information collection is being submitted under the
Streamlined Clearance Process for Discretionary Grant Information
Collections (1894-0001). Therefore, the 30-day public comment period
