Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 9 / Thursday, January 13, 2005 / Notices
(1) A State or local non-profit or
governmental arts organization;
(2) A State educational agency (SEA)
or regional educational service agency;
(3) An institution of higher education;
or
(4) A public or private agency,
institution, or organization, including a
museum, an arts education association,
a library, a theater, or a community-or
faith-based organization.
Rationale: The most effective
professional development programs are
systemic and have the full support of
school leadership. Therefore, it is
essential that eligibility be limited to
LEAs. Professional development in the
area of arts education is often enhanced
when it taps the expertise of
professional arts organizations or other
entities. Accordingly, an LEA would be
required to partner with one of these
organizations.

governments in the exercise of their
governmental functions.
Summary of Potential Costs and
Benefits
Definitions
Proposed Definitions
Intergovernmental Review
The terms ‘‘arts educator’’ and
‘‘integrate’’, which are important
concepts associated with this program,
are not defined in the authorizing
statute. We, therefore, propose, for the
purpose of this program, to define these
terms as follows:
Arts educator means a teacher who
works in music, drama, dance, or the
visual arts.
Integrate means, in the context of
projects funded under this program, to
strengthen (i) the use of high-quality arts
instruction within other academic
content areas, and (ii) the place of the
arts as a core academic subject in the
school curriculum.
This program is subject to Executive
Order 12372 and the regulations in 34
CFR part 79. One of the objectives of the
Executive order is to foster an
intergovernmental partnership and
strengthened federalism. The Executive
order relies on processes developed by
State and local governments for
coordination and review of proposed
Federal financial assistance.
This document provides early
notification of our specific plans and
action for this program.
This notice of proposed priority,
requirements, and definitions has been
reviewed in accordance with Executive
Order 12866. Under the terms of the
order, we have assessed the potential
costs and benefits of this regulatory
action.
The potential costs associated with
the notice of proposed priority,
requirements, and definitions are those
resulting from statutory requirements
and those we have determined as
necessary for administering this
program effectively and efficiently.
In assessing the potential costs and
benefits—both quantitative and
qualitative—of this notice of proposed
priority, requirements, and definitions,
we have determined that the benefits of
the proposed priority, requirements, and
definitions justify the costs.
We also have determined that this
regulatory action does not unduly

The potential costs associated with
the proposed priority, requirements, and
definitions in this notice are minimal,
while the benefits are significant.
Grantees may incur some costs
associated with completing the
application process in terms of staff and
partner time, copying, and mailing or
delivery.
The benefit of the proposed priority,
requirements, and definitions in this
notice is that grantees will develop
professional development programs for
arts educators, especially those
programs that incorporate arts education
standards and are designed to improve
the educational performance of at-risk
children and youth.
