NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR LITERACY


Notice of Consideration of Unsolicited Grant Proposals and Intent 
To Publish Regulations

AGENCY: National Institute for Literacy.

SUMMARY: The Director provides through this notice information 
concerning the receipt by the National Institute for Literacy (the 
Institute) of four unsolicited grant proposals, the process under which 
the Institute will consider the proposals, the intention of the 
Institute to publish regulations to govern future grant competitions 
and consideration of future unsolicited grant proposals, and the 
intention of the Institute not to accept additional unsolicited grant 
proposals until final regulations have been published.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Hollis, Special Assistant to 
the Director, National Institute for Literacy, 1775 I Street, NW., 
Suite 730, Washington, DC 20006-2401, Telephone: (202) 233-2025, or via 
the Internet: ehollis@nifl.gov.
    If you use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD), you may 
call the Federal Relay Service (FRS) at 1-800-877-8339.
    Individuals with disabilities may obtain this document in an 
alternative format (e.g., Braille, large print, audiotape, or computer 
diskette) on request to the contact person listed under FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Institute is authorized under 20 U.S.C. 
9252(c)(1) to carry out a number of activities to improve and expand 
the system for the delivery of literacy services. To assist it in 
carrying out these activities, the Institute may award grants to 
individuals, public or private institutions, agencies, organizations, 
or consortia of such institutions, agencies, or organizations (20 
U.S.C. 9252(c)(2)). In addition, the Institute is authorized under 20 
U.S.C. 6367 to carry out information dissemination responsibilities 
with respect to scientifically based reading research.
    In the past, the Institute, which is administered under the terms 
of an interagency agreement entered into by the Secretaries of 
Education, Labor, and Health and Human Services (the Interagency 
Group), has adopted provisions of the Education Department General 
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) for purposes of grant competitions 
and grant awards. However, the Institute has determined that it would 
be beneficial for potential grantees to have regulations specifically 
applicable to the Institute's grants process. The Institute believes 
that having its own set of regulations would reflect the Institute's 
purposes more clearly and therefore provide better guidance to 
potential applicants and improve the overall efficiency and consistency 
of its grants management process. Therefore, the Institute is currently 
preparing regulations to govern future grant awards to authorized 
entities. In the meantime, the Institute has received four unsolicited 
proposals that are awaiting consideration. The Director does not wish 
to postpone the consideration of these proposals further; therefore, 
for the sole purpose of considering these unsolicited proposals, the 
Director adopts the regulations in part 75 of EDGAR (34 CFR part 75) 
applicable to unsolicited proposals, including 34 CFR 75.210(b), 
75.211, 75.219, and 75.222. Finally, the Director is hereby providing 
notice that the Institute will accept no further submissions of 
unsolicited proposals until it has prepared and published final 
regulations.
