Full Text of Announcement I. Funding Opportunity Description Purpose of Program: The Challenge Newsletter grant competition funds one cooperative agreement for the development and dissemination of The Challenge newsletter to provide information about effective strategies to prevent drug use and violent behavior among youth. Priority: We are establishing this priority for this competition only, in accordance with section 437(d)(1) of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) (20 U.S.C. 1232(d)(1)). Absolute Priority: For FY 2005, this priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only applications that meet this priority. This priority is: (1) Design, write, publish, and disseminate The Challenge, a newsletter for educators, prevention specialists, and other professionals in fields related to drug abuse and violence prevention and education. The Challenge newsletter communicates information on current and future program directions, research-based activities, and other information related to effective strategies to prevent drug use and violent behavior among youth. (2) Create or maintain and expand a subscriber database for the U.S. Department of Education (ED). (3) Post each issue of The Challenge newsletter to a Web site for public access. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking: Under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) the Department generally offers interested parties the opportunity to comment on a proposed priority. Section 437(d)(1) of GEPA, however, allows the Secretary to exempt from rulemaking requirements regulations governing the first grant competition under a new or substantially revised program authority. This is the first The Challenge Newsletter grant competition under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and therefore qualifies for this exemption. In order to ensure timely grant awards, the Secretary has decided to forgo public comment on the priority under section 437(d)(1). This priority E:\FR\FM\20APN1.SGM 20APN1
