Purpose of Program: To provide
grants to institutions of higher
education (IHEs), as defined in section
101 or section 102(c) of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended
(HEA), that are located in an area in
which a major disaster was declared
related to Hurricanes Katrina or Rita
that were forced to close, relocate, or
significantly curtail their activities as a
result of damage directly caused by the
hurricanes. These Hurricane Education
Recovery Awards can only be used to
defray expenses, (including lost
revenue, reimbursement for expenses
already incurred, and construction)
incurred as a direct result of Hurricanes
Katrina or Rita, and for payments to
enable affected IHEs to provide grants to
students who attend such IHEs for
academic years beginning on or after
July 1, 2006.
Supplementary Information: Under
the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations and Additional
Supplemental Appropriations for
Agricultural and Other Emergency
Assistance for the Fiscal Year Ending
September 30, 2007, and for Other

under the authority of the Fund for the

Public Law No. 110–28 authorizes the
Department to make these funds
available based on criteria established
by the Secretary. Accordingly, the

funds: expenses that would have been
covered by revenues lost by the IHE as
a direct result of the hurricanes;
expenses incurred by the IHE in
remedying the effects of the hurricanes;
the costs of construction associated with
physical damage caused by the
hurricanes; any amount of any
insurance settlement or other
reimbursement received including from
a Federal or other relief agency; and the
number of Pell Grant recipients enrolled
at the IHE at any time during the 2005–
06 and 2006–07 award year. IHEs must
include information responsive to each
of these criteria in their preapplications.

Under the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553), and section 437 of
the General Education Provisions Act
(GEPA) (20 U.S.C. 1232), the
Department generally offers interested
parties the opportunity to comment on
proposed program requirements.
However, Pub. L. No. 110–28

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

the Improvement of Postsecondary Education; Notice Inviting
Applications for New Hurricane Education Recovery Awards for Fiscal
Year 2007
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.938H.
Dates: July 16. 2007.
Deadline for Transmittal of Pre-Application: July 27, 2007.
Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: August 17, 2007.
Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: To provide grants to institutions of higher
education (IHEs), as defined in section 101 or section 102(c) of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), that are located in an
area in which a major disaster was declared related to Hurricanes
Katrina or Rita that were forced to close, relocate, or significantly
curtail their activities as a result of damage directly caused by the
hurricanes. These Hurricane Education Recovery Awards can only be used
to defray expenses, (including lost revenue, reimbursement for expenses
already incurred, and construction) incurred as a direct result of
Hurricanes Katrina or Rita, and for payments to enable affected IHEs to
provide grants to students who attend such IHEs for academic years
beginning on or after July 1, 2006.
Supplementary Information: Under the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations and Additional Supplemental Appropriations for
Agricultural and Other Emergency Assistance for the Fiscal Year Ending
September 30, 2007, and for Other Purposes (Pub. L. No. 110-28), only
IHEs as defined in section 101 or section 102(c) of the HEA that are
located in an
[[Page 38828]]
area in which a major disaster was declared in accordance with section
401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance
Act related to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and that were forced to
close, relocate, or significantly curtail their activities as a result
of damage directly caused by the hurricanes may receive awards. The
area for which a major disaster was declared in accordance with section
401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance
Act related to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita includes the States of
Louisiana and Mississippi and certain counties in the States of
Alabama, Florida, and Texas. A list of these counties is available at:
https://www.fema.gov/hazard/hurricane/hu_recovery.shtm.
Hurricane Education Recovery Awards can only be used to defray
expenses, including lost revenue, expenses already incurred, and
construction expenses directly related to damage resulting from
Hurricanes Katrina or Rita and for payments to enable affected IHEs to
provide grants to students who attend such IHEs for academic years
beginning on or after July 1, 2006. These grants are awarded under the
authority of the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education
authorized by title VII, part B of the HEA.
Public Law No. 110-28 authorizes the Department to make these funds
available based on criteria established by the Secretary. Accordingly,
the Secretary establishes and will consider the following criteria in
allocating these funds: expenses that would have been covered by
revenues lost by the IHE as a direct result of the hurricanes; expenses
incurred by the IHE in remedying the effects of the hurricanes; the
costs of construction associated with physical damage caused by the
hurricanes; any amount of any insurance settlement or other
reimbursement received including from a Federal or other relief agency;
and the number of Pell Grant recipients enrolled at the IHE at any time
during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 award year. IHEs must include
information responsive to each of these criteria in their pre-
applications.
Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking: Under the Administrative Procedure
Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553), and section 437 of the General Education
Provisions Act (GEPA) (20 U.S.C. 1232), the Department generally offers
interested parties the opportunity to comment on proposed program
requirements. However, Pub. L. No. 110-28 specifically exempts criteria
established by the Secretary for the award of funds under this program
from the rulemaking requirements of the APA and GEPA.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1138-1138d.
Applicable Regulations: The Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 34 CFR parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 80,
82, 84, 85, 86, 97, 98, and 99.
II. Award Information
Type of Award: Discretionary grants.
Estimated Available Funds: $30,000,000.
Estimated Average Size of Awards: $750,000.
Estimated Number of Awards: 40.
Note: The Department is not bound by any estimates in this
notice.
Project Period: IHEs receiving Hurricane Education Recovery Awards
must obligate the funds received by September 30, 2009. Funds being
used for construction must be expended by September 30, 2011.
III. Eligibility Information
1. Eligible Applicants: IHEs, as defined in section 101 or 102(c)
of the HEA that are located in an area in which a major disaster was
declared in accordance with section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act related to Hurricanes
Katrina or Rita, and that were forced to close, relocate, or
significantly curtail their activities as a result of damage directly
caused by the hurricanes.
2. Cost Sharing or Matching: This program does not require cost
sharing or matching.

a. Electronic Submission of Applications.
Applications for grants under the Hurricane Education Recovery
Awards must be submitted electronically using the Governmentwide
Grants.gov Apply site at: https://www.Grants.gov. Through this site, you
will be able to download a copy of the application package, complete it
offline, and then upload and submit your application. You may not e-
mail an electronic copy of a grant application to us.
We will reject your application if you submit it in paper format
unless, as described elsewhere in this section, you qualify for one of
the exceptions to the electronic submission requirement and submit, no
later than two weeks before the application deadline date, a written
statement to the Department that you qualify for one of these
exceptions. Further information regarding calculation of the date that
is two weeks before the application deadline date is provided later in
this section under Exception to Electronic Submission Requirement.
You may access the electronic grant application for Hurricane
Education Recovery Awards at: https://www.Grants.gov . You must search
for the downloadable application package for this competition by the
CFDA number. Do not include the CFDA number's alpha suffix in your
search (e.g., search for 84.326, not 84.326A).
Please note the following:
When you enter the Grants.gov site, you will find
information about submitting an application electronically through the
site, as well as the hours of operation.
Applications received by Grants.gov are date and time
stamped. Your application must be fully uploaded and submitted, and
must be date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system no later than
4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date.
Except as otherwise noted in this section, we will not consider your
application if it is date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system
later than 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline
date. When we retrieve your application from Grants.gov, we will notify
you if we are rejecting your application because it was date and time
stamped by the Grants.gov system after 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time,
on the application deadline date.
The amount of time it can take to upload an application
will vary depending on a variety of factors including the size of the
application and the speed of your Internet connection. Therefore, we
strongly recommend that you do not wait until the application deadline
date to begin the submission process through Grants.gov.
You should review and follow the Education Submission
Procedures for submitting an application through Grants.gov that are
included in the application package for this competition to ensure that
you submit your application in a timely manner to the Grants.gov
system. You can also find the Education Submission Procedures
pertaining to Grants.gov at: https://eGrants.ed.gov/help/
GrantsgovSubmissionProcedures.Pdf.
To submit your application via Grants.gov, you must
complete all steps in the Grants.gov registration process (see https://
www.grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp). These steps include (1)
Registering your organization, a multi-part process that includes
registration with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR); (2)
registering yourself as an Authorized Organization Representative
(AOR); and (3) getting authorized as an AOR by your organization.
Details on these steps are outlined in the Grants.gov 3-Step
Registration Guide (see https://www.grants.gov/section910/
Grants.govRegistrationBrochure.pdf). You also must provide on your
application the same D-U-N-S Number used with this registration. Please
note that the registration process may take five or more business days
to complete, and you must have completed all registration steps to
allow you to submit successfully an application via Grants.gov. In
addition you will need to update your CCR registration on an annual
basis. This may take three or more business days to complete.
You will not receive additional point value because you
submit your application in electronic format, nor will we penalize you
if you qualify for an exception to the electronic submission
requirement, as described elsewhere in this section, and submit your
application in paper format.
You must submit all documents electronically, including
all information you typically provide on the following forms:
Application for Federal Assistance (SF 424), the Department of
Education Supplemental Information for SF 424, Budget Information--Non-
Construction Programs (ED 524), and all necessary assurances and
certifications. Please note that two of these forms--the SF 424 and the
Department of Education Supplemental Information for SF 424--have
replaced the ED 424 (Application for Federal Education Assistance).
You must attach any narrative sections of your application
as files in a .DOC (document), .RTF (rich text), or .PDF (Portable
Document) format. If you upload a file type other than the three file
types specified in this paragraph or submit a password-protected file,
we will not review that material.
Your electronic application must comply with any page-
limit requirements described in this notice.
After you electronically submit your application, you will
receive from Grants.gov an automatic notification of receipt that
contains a Grants.gov tracking number. (This notification indicates
receipt by Grants.gov only, not receipt by the Department.) The
Department then will retrieve your application from Grants.gov and send
a
[[Page 38830]]
second notification to you by e-mail. This second notification
indicates that the Department has received your application and has
assigned your application a PR/Award number (an ED-specified
identifying number unique to your application).
We may request that you provide us original signatures on
forms at a later date.
Application Deadline Date Extension in Case of Technical Issues
with the Grants.gov System: If you are experiencing problems submitting
your application through Grants.gov, please contact the Grants.gov
Support Desk at 1-800-518-4726. You must obtain a Grants.gov Support
Desk Case Number and must keep a record of it.
If you are prevented from electronically submitting your
application on the application deadline date because of technical
problems with the Grants.gov system, we will grant you an extension
until 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, the following business day to
enable you to transmit your application electronically or by hand
delivery. You also may mail your application by following the mailing
instructions described elsewhere in this notice.
If you submit an application after 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time,
on the application deadline date, please contact the person listed
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT in section VII in this notice and
provide an explanation of the technical problem you experienced with
Grants.gov, along with the Grants.gov Support Desk Case Number. We will
accept your application if we can confirm that a technical problem
occurred with the Grants.gov system and that that problem affected your
ability to submit your application by 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time,
on the application deadline date. The Department will contact you after
a determination is made on whether your application will be accepted.
Note: The extensions to which we refer in this section apply
only to the unavailability of, or technical problems with, the
Grants.gov system. We will not grant you an extension if you failed
to fully register to submit your application to Grants.gov before
the application deadline date and time or if the technical problem
you experienced is unrelated to the Grants.gov system.
Exception to Electronic Submission Requirement: You qualify for an
exception to the electronic submission requirement, and may submit your
application in paper format, if you are unable to submit an application
through the Grants.gov system because--
You do not have access to the Internet; or
You do not have the capacity to upload large documents to
the Grants.gov system; and
No later than two weeks before the application deadline
date (14 calendar days or, if the fourteenth calendar day before the
application deadline date falls on a Federal holiday, the next business

to the Department, explaining which of the two grounds for an exception
prevent you from using the Internet to submit your application.
