The ASB will continue to identify findings and recommendations to be presented at our two week outbrief in July. The meeting will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. each day.

Accordingly, the Committee Management Officer for the Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR 102– 3.150(b), waives the 15-calendar day notification requirement. Brenda S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 21, 2005, we published a notice in the Federal Register 
(70 FR 13486) inviting applications for new awards under the Teacher 
Quality Enhancement Grants Program--Recruitment Grants for States and 
Partnerships. We received a significant number of applications in this 
competition and made 20 new grant awards. Because such a large number 
of high-quality applications were received, many applications that were 
awarded high scores by peer reviewers did not receive funding in FY 
2005.
    The Department estimates that there will be approximately $2.6 
million available for new awards under this program in FY 2007. In 
order to conserve funding that would have been required for a peer 
review of new applications submitted under the program, we intend to 
select grantees in FY 2007 from the existing slate of applicants. This 
slate was developed during the FY 2005 competition using the selection 
criteria in the March 21, 2005 notice. No changes to the selection 
criteria will be required by this action.
