Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 9, 2005 / Notices
administered by the Department,
including the SDFSCA State Grants
program;
(e) Be an enhancement to, or capable
of merging data with, the State’s student
information system if such exists or if
the State does not yet have a statewide,
longitudinal student data system, the
project should include the capacity to
merge with such a system in the future;
and
(f) Include validation and verification
activities at the State and sub-State
recipient levels designed to ensure the
accuracy of data collected and reported.
Proposed Competitive Preference
Priority—Use of Uniform Crime
Reporting Definitions
Background: Uniform definitions of
data elements make it easier for
stakeholders to collect, analyze, and
compare data across district, county,
State, and other boundaries. The Federal
Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime
Reporting (UCR) program is the most
universal crime reporting system in the
country and collects information about
the following crimes: Homicide; forcible
rape; robbery; aggravated assault;
burglary; larceny-theft; motor vehicle
theft; and arson. The majority of States
have a UCR program and many require
mandatory reporting. Further
information about the UCR is available
online at https://www.fbi.gov/ucr/
ucr.htm.
Competitive Preference Priority: The
collection of incident data for projects
under Priority 1 will be done in a
manner consistent with the definitions
and protocols developed under the
Federal Bureau of Investigation’s UCR
program.
Other Proposed Requirements
Eligibility of Applicants: We propose
that eligible applicants for this program
be limited to State educational agencies
(SEAs) or other State agencies
administering the SDFSCA State Grants
program.
We propose this requirement to focus
projects on Statewide systems of data
collection that support the UMIRS
requirements. Local or regional projects
are inconsistent with the emphasis in
the SDFSCA on Statewide data
collection systems for youth drug and
violence prevention information.
Memorandum of Understanding: We
propose that applicants be required to
include a memorandum of
understanding (MOU) in their
application that outlines project roles
and responsibilities of the participants
and that contains:
1. The signatures of:
VerDate jul<14>2003
20:21 Mar 08, 2005
Jkt 205001
a. The authorized representative(s) for
the SEA, and
b. The authorized representative(s) for
the State agency (or agencies) receiving
the Governor’s portion of SDFSCA State
Grants program funding for the State.
2. Evidence that the proposal has been
reviewed by, and has the approval of,
the State’s chief information officer
(CIO) and/or chief technology officer
(CTO). The CIO and/or CTO may sign
the required memorandum of
understanding, or may provide a
separate document including the
required assurance.
We propose this requirement in order
to ensure that entities responsible for
the development of the UMIRS within a
State will be involved in the design and
implementation of any funded project,
and that technical aspects of the project
have the approval of the State official
charged with overseeing information
management and technology issues
within the State.
Technology-Based System: We
propose that each application be
required to include a proposal for a
technology-based system for collecting,
analyzing, and interpreting school crime
and violence data. Grant funds may be
used in a variety of ways to support this
system, including updating an existing
infrastructure, conducting basic
planning, and capacity building.
We propose this requirement to
ensure that grant funds are used to
support the development of a system
that takes advantage of widely available
technology to support the efficient
collection, analysis and interpretation of
school crime and violence data.
Executive Order 12866
This notice of proposed priorities and
requirements 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 priorities and
requirements 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
priorities and requirements, we have
determined that the benefits of the
proposed priorities justify the costs.
We have also determined that this
regulatory action does not unduly
interfere with State, local, and tribal
governments in the exercise of their
governmental functions.
