- Interested and eligible applicants and submit their applications by referencing the CFDA number(s): 84.041 Impact Aid.

- Applicants must submit their applications by Oct 11, 2013 Applications Available August 22, 2013. Deadline for Transmittal of Applications October 11, 2013. The Secretary extends the deadline date for the submission of applications for Impact Aid fiscal year 2014 section 8002 grants to October 11, 2013. Impact Aid regulations specify that the annual application deadline is January 31. Due to changes in the applications that were necessitated by legislative amendments in the fiscal year 2013 National Defense Appropriation Act, and the subsequent revision, production, and distribution of the application packages, the Secretary extends the deadline to October 11, 2013, for the potential applicants under section 8002 for Impact Aid assistance for fiscal year 2014. The Secretary will also accept and approve for payment any otherwise approvable application that is received on or before the 60th calendar day after October 11, 2013, which is December 10, 2013, or the 60th calendar day after the Secretary provides written notice via email to a local educational agency that applied in the previous year but did not apply by October 11, 2013. However, any applicant submitting an application after October 11, 2013 will have its payment reduced by 10 percent of the amount it would have received had its application been filed by that date, consistent with 20 U.S.C. 7705 of the Impact Aid statute, as well as the program regulations at 34 CFR 222.6(b)(2).. (Agency may still review applications by suitable applicants for the remaining/unused allocated funding in 2026.)
- Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
- Local educational agencies that provide free public elementary or secondary education may apply. Under Section 8002, generally, assistance is provided to districts where an aggregate of 10 percent or more of the assessed valuation of all real property in the school district as of the time(s) of acquisition has been acquired by the Federal Government since 1938 and the district is not being substantially compensated by revenue from activities on the eligible Federal property. Under Section 8003, assistance is provided to districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance (ADA) live on Federal property including Indian lands and/or have a parent who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. Under Section 8007(b), heavily impacted LEAs that enroll a high proportion (at least 40 percent) of federally connected children, or have little or no funding capacity, may be eligible for a competitive construction award.

Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) Impact Aid Section 8002 Grant Program (CFDA 84.041A) is a U.S. Department of Education grant program designed to help local educational agencies (LEAs) that face unique financial strain because of federal activity within their district boundaries. In practical terms, the program recognizes that some school districts cannot fully rely on local property tax revenue because the federal government has acquired significant real property in the area, removing that property from the local tax base. The core purpose of Section 8002 is to provide financial assistance to those LEAs when federal land ownership has reduced the district's taxable property valuation and the district is not being substantially compensated through revenue associated with activities on that eligible federal property. The broader Impact Aid framework also addresses costs tied to educating federally connected students, including children who live on federal property or whose parents work on federal property or serve in the uniformed services, though this specific opportunity is focused on Section 8002.
Eligibility is primarily aimed at LEAs that provide free public elementary or secondary education and meet the statutory and regulatory thresholds tied to federal land acquisition and related fiscal impact. Under Section 8002, a district generally must show that an aggregate of 10 percent or more of the assessed valuation of all real property in the school district (as of the time of acquisition) has been acquired by the federal government since 1938, and that the district is not being substantially compensated by revenue from activities on the eligible federal property. The notice also references related Impact Aid provisions to clarify the overall program landscape: Section 8003 typically supports districts serving federally connected children where federally connected students account for at least three percent or 400 of the eligible children in average daily attendance, and Section 8007(b) can offer competitive construction funding for heavily impacted districts, such as those enrolling at least 40 percent federally connected children or having very limited funding capacity. Those additional sections provide context, but the funding opportunity described here is specifically for Section 8002 grants for fiscal year 2014.
A major point of this particular notice is an adjustment to the normal annual timeline. Although Impact Aid regulations typically set an annual application deadline of January 31, the Department extended the deadline for FY 2014 Section 8002 applications to October 11, 2013. The extension was driven by application changes required after legislative amendments in the FY 2013 National Defense Appropriations Act, which in turn required revisions and the production and distribution of updated application packages. Applications were made available on August 22, 2013, with the extended deadline for transmittal set for October 11, 2013.
The Department also laid out what happens for late submissions. It stated it would still accept and approve for payment any otherwise approvable application received within 60 calendar days after October 11, 2013, which falls on December 10, 2013, or within 60 calendar days after the Secretary sends written notice by email to an LEA that applied the previous year but did not apply by October 11, 2013. However, submitting after October 11, 2013 carries a financial consequence: the payment would be reduced by 10 percent of what the LEA would have received if it had filed by the October 11 deadline. This penalty aligns with the Impact Aid statute (20 U.S.C. 7705) and program regulations at 34 CFR 222.6(b)(2).
Submission requirements are strict and fully electronic. Applicants were required to submit through the Department of Education's G5 system (www.G5.gov). Paper applications were not accepted and would be rejected, and applicants were told not to email an electronic copy of the application to the Department. The process involves entering data directly into an online system where it is saved to a database, meaning the submission is structured around online data entry rather than sending stand-alone documents by email.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as a mandatory grant in the education funding area, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on September 11, 2013, with the original and current closing date both reflecting the extended deadline of October 11, 2013, and an archive date of November 10, 2013. For authoritative details, the notice emphasizes that the controlling guidance is the official application notice published in the Federal Register, and it directs readers to consult that notice for full requirements such as application instructions, performance measures, priorities, and contact information.
For support, the announcement lists both technical and program contacts. Technical assistance for accessing the full announcement and systems help is directed to Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin) at 202-245-6288 or EducationGrantInquiries@ed.gov.

Section 8002 Impact Aid (CFDA 84.041A) FY 2014 - FAQs
What is the OESE Impact Aid Section 8002 Grant Program (CFDA 84.041A)?
The Impact Aid Section 8002 program is a U.S. Department of Education grant that provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) that experience a reduced ability to raise local revenue because the federal government has acquired significant real property within the district boundaries, removing that property from the local property tax base.
What problem is Section 8002 designed to address?
Section 8002 recognizes that some school districts cannot fully rely on local property tax revenue when federal land ownership has reduced the district's taxable property valuation. The program helps offset that unique financial strain when the district is not being substantially compensated by revenue associated with activities on the eligible federal property.
Who is this opportunity intended to help?
This opportunity is intended for eligible LEAs that provide free public elementary or secondary education and meet statutory and regulatory thresholds related to federal land acquisition and fiscal impact within their district.
What are the main eligibility thresholds under Section 8002?
To generally qualify under Section 8002, an LEA must show (1) that an aggregate of 10 percent or more of the assessed valuation of all real property in the school district (as of the time of acquisition) has been acquired by the federal government since 1938, and (2) that the district is not being substantially compensated by revenue from activities on that eligible federal property.
Does this notice cover other Impact Aid sections like Section 8003 or Section 8007(b)?
The notice references other Impact Aid provisions for context, but the opportunity described is specifically for Section 8002 grants for fiscal year (FY) 2014.
How is Section 8002 different from Section 8003, as described in the notice?
As described in the notice, Section 8003 typically supports districts that serve federally connected children where federally connected students account for at least three percent or 400 of the eligible children in average daily attendance. Section 8002, by contrast, focuses on financial impacts tied to federal acquisition of real property that reduces the local tax base.
How is Section 8002 different from Section 8007(b), as described in the notice?
As described in the notice, Section 8007(b) can offer competitive construction funding for heavily impacted districts, such as those enrolling at least 40 percent federally connected children or having very limited funding capacity. This opportunity, however, is not for construction; it is specifically for FY 2014 Section 8002 grants.
What is unusual about the application timeline for this FY 2014 Section 8002 opportunity?
Impact Aid regulations typically set an annual application deadline of January 31, but for FY 2014 Section 8002 applications the Department extended the deadline to October 11, 2013.
Why was the FY 2014 Section 8002 deadline extended to October 11, 2013?
The deadline extension was due to application changes required after legislative amendments in the FY 2013 National Defense Appropriations Act. Those amendments required revisions and the production and distribution of updated application packages.
When were the FY 2014 Section 8002 applications made available?
Applications were made available on August 22, 2013, and the extended deadline for transmittal was October 11, 2013.

The extended deadline for transmittal was October 11, 2013.
Are late submissions accepted?
Yes. The Department stated it would still accept and approve for payment any otherwise approvable application received within 60 calendar days after October 11, 2013 (which falls on December 10, 2013), or within 60 calendar days after the Secretary sends written notice by email to an LEA that applied the previous year but did not apply by October 11, 2013.
What is the financial consequence of submitting after the October 11, 2013 deadline?
If an LEA submits after October 11, 2013, the payment would be reduced by 10 percent of what the LEA would have received if it had filed by the October 11 deadline.
What legal or regulatory basis is cited for the late-filing payment reduction?
The notice states the 10 percent reduction aligns with the Impact Aid statute at 20 U.S.C. 7705 and the program regulations at 34 CFR 222.6(b)(2).
How must the application be submitted?
Applications were required to be submitted fully electronically through the Department of Education's G5 system at www.G5.gov.
Are paper applications accepted?
No. Paper applications were not accepted and would be rejected.
