The Department of Education is asking for an emergency review to collect information for the Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS) program under the COVID-19 relief act. This program aims to provide funds to non-public schools affected by the pandemic. The department is inviting public comments on whether this information collection is necessary, its timeliness, accuracy, and how to minimize the burden on participants. Public comments will be accepted until March 22, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Education wants to check if a new form they need for giving money to private schools is important and not too hard to fill out, but they want to do it quickly because of COVID-19. They're asking people to say if they agree or not by March 22, 2021.
