Abstract	This report discusses Section 3 of Public Law (P.L.) 81-874, one component of the Impact Aid program. Section 3 provides financial assistance through formula grants to local school districts in which a Federal activity or project increases the number of children the local school district must educate. Section 3 is the largest part of the Impact Aid program. The first two parts of this report define Impact Aid and Section 3 of P.L. 81-874. The third part of the report discusses how Section 3 payments to school districts are determined considering three broad conditions: (1) maximum payment levels; (2) payment determination when appropriations are insufficient; and (3) payment determination under current law. Parts 4 and 5 present funding trends for P.L. 81-874 and for Section 3 since fiscal year 1980 and discuss trends in numbers of school districts receiving funds under Section 3. The report concludes with a synopsis of a continuing debate regarding Section 3: whether all Section 3 payments to school districts are justified. Appended is a brief description of P.L. 81-874 and P.L. 81-815. (SI)
