I. Funding Opportunity Description

    Purpose of Program: The purpose of the Technology and Media 
Services for Individuals with Disabilities program is to: (1) Improve 
results for students with disabilities by promoting the development, 
demonstration, and use of technology; (2) support educational media 
services activities designed to be of educational value in the 
classroom for students with disabilities; and (3) provide support for 
captioning and video description that is appropriate for use in the 
classroom.
    Priority: In accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(v), this priority 
is from allowable activities specified in sections 674(c)(1)(D) and 
681(d) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), 20 
U.S.C. 1400 et seq.
    Absolute Priority: For FY 2007, this priority is an absolute 
priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3), we consider only applications that 
meet this priority.
    This priority is:
    Technology and Media Services for Individuals with Disabilities--
Educational Materials in Accessible Formats for Students with Visual 
Impairments and Other Print Disabilities.
    Priority:
    The purpose of this priority is to provide free educational 
materials, including textbooks, in accessible media for use by students 
with visual impairments and other print disabilities in elementary and 
secondary schools and in postsecondary and graduate schools. These 
materials may be provided using CD-ROMs, audiotapes, and similar 
technologies, including electronic text and digital audio 
synchronization.
    To be considered for funding under this priority, the project 
must--
    (a) Provide educational materials in accessible formats to State 
educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) for 
use by elementary and secondary education students with visual 
impairments or other print disabilities. The educational materials, 
including specialized equipment needed to use the materials, must be 
provided at no cost. For example, the project may not assess membership 
fees to individual students or to institutions, including schools, 
SEAs, or LEAs;
    (b) Provide educational materials in accessible formats for 
students with visual impairments or other print disabilities attending 
postsecondary and graduate schools. Materials may be provided directly 
to eligible students or to postsecondary and graduate institutions and 
vocational rehabilitation agencies requesting materials in accessible 
formats on behalf of eligible students. The materials and equipment 
needed to use the materials must be provided free of charge. For 
example, the project may not assess fees to individual students or to 
institutions, including, vocational rehabilitation agencies, post-
secondary schools, and graduate schools;
    (c) Obtain statements of eligibility signed by professionals who 
certify the eligibility of postsecondary and graduate students with 
visual impairments and other print disabilities and the students' 
specific need for educational materials in accessible formats;
    (d) Coordinate and collaborate with publishers, software 
developers, other manufacturers of accessible materials for individuals 
with visual impairments or print disabilities, and the National 
Instructional Materials Access Center (NIMAC) to ensure that the 
project uses the most effective and economical technology available to 
provide access to educational materials, including textbooks;
    (e) To the fullest extent possible and appropriate, produce 
accessible materials using files that are compliant with the National 
Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard (NIMAS);
    (f) Coordinate with SEAs, LEAs, other government agencies, and 
disability and educational organizations, including the NIMAC, to 
ensure non-duplication of effort in the production or acquisition of 
accessible materials and in the delivery of these materials to SEAs, 
LEAs, and eligible postsecondary and graduate students;
    (g) Cooperate with SEA and LEA efforts to implement or improve 
State systems for providing educational materials in accessible formats 
to students with visual impairments or other print disabilities;
    (h) Ensure that project activities are conducted in compliance with 
section 121 of the Copyright Act, as amended;
    (i) Establish an advisory group consisting of SEA and LEA 
representatives, parents of individuals with visual impairments and 
other print disabilities ages birth through 26, consumers with visual 
impairments and consumers with other print disabilities who use 
educational materials in accessible formats, and schools or other 
institutions where educational materials in accessible formats are 
used. The purpose of this advisory group is to provide the project with 
input and ongoing advice on the project's goals, objectives, program 
activities, and services;
    (j) Budget for a one and one-half day kick-off meeting to be held 
in Washington, DC, within four weeks after receipt of the award. The 
primary purposes of this meeting will be to review the Department's 
grantee requirements, discuss the project's planned activities and 
budget, and confirm the expectations for the project's performance 
measures and evaluation;
    (k) Budget for a three-day Project Director's meeting in 
Washington, DC, during each year of the project, and one additional 
two-day trip to Washington, DC, to meet with the Project Officer for 
the Office of Special Education Program (OSEP) and other funded 
projects for purposes of cross-project collaboration and information 
exchange; and
    (l) Include on its Web site, if the project maintains a Web site, 
relevant information and documents in a format that meets a government 
or industry-recognized standard for accessibility.

Fourth and Fifth Years of Project

    In deciding whether to continue this project for the fourth and 
fifth years, the

[[Page 43255]]

Secretary will consider the requirements of 34 CFR 75.253(a), and in 
addition--
    (a) The recommendations of a review team consisting of experts 
selected by the Secretary. The review will be conducted during the last 
half of the project's second year in Washington, DC. Projects must 
budget for travel expenses associated with this one-day intensive 
review;
    (b) The timeliness and effectiveness with which all requirements of 
the negotiated cooperative agreement have been, or are being, met by 
the project; and
    (c) Evidence of the quality, relevance, and usefulness of the 
project's activities and the degree to which the project's activities 
have contributed to improved results for students with disabilities.
    Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking: Under the Administrative Procedure 
Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553), the Department generally offers interested 
parties the opportunity to comment on proposed priorities. However, 
section 681(d) of IDEA makes the public comment requirements of the APA 
inapplicable to the priority in this notice.

    Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1474 and 1481.

    Applicable Regulations: The Education Department General 
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 34 CFR parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 80, 
81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 97, 98, and 99.

    Please note the following:
     Your participation in Grants.gov is voluntary.
     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://e-Grants.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 submit your application in paper format.
     If you submit your application electronically, 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).
     If you submit your application electronically, 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 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).

[[Page 43257]]

     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, toll-free, 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.

    b. Submission of Paper Applications by Mail. If you submit your 
application in paper format by mail (through the U.S. Postal Service or 
a commercial carrier), you must mail the original and two copies of 
your application, on or before the application deadline date, to the

U.S. Department of Education.
    If you mail your application through the U.S. Postal Service, we do 
not accept either of the following as proof of mailing:
    (1) A private metered postmark.
    (2) A mail receipt that is not dated by the U.S. Postal Service.
    If your application is postmarked after the application deadline 
date, we will not consider your application.

    Note: The U.S. Postal Service does not uniformly provide a dated 
postmark. Before relying on this method, you should check with your 
local post office.

    c. Submission of Paper Applications by Hand Delivery. If you submit 
your application in paper format by hand delivery, you (or a courier 
service) must deliver the original and two copies of your application 
by hand, on or before the application deadline date, to the Department 
at the following address: U.S. Department of Education, Application 
Control Center, Attention: (CFDA Number 84.327K), 550 12th Street, SW., 
Room 7041, Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202-4260.

of receipt of your grant application. If you do not receive this 
notification within 15 business days from the application deadline 
date, you should call the U.S. Department of Education Application 
Control Center at (202) 245-6288.
    V. Application Review Information
    1. Selection Criteria: The selection criteria for this competition 
are from 34 CFR 75.210 and are listed in the application package.
    2. Peer Review: In the past, there have been problems in finding 
peer reviewers without conflicts of interest for competitions in which 
many entities throughout the country submit applications. The Standing 
Panel requirements under IDEA also have placed additional constraints 
on the availability of reviewers. Therefore, the Department has 
determined that, in order to avoid potential conflicts of interest for 
some discretionary grant competitions, applications may be separated 
into two or more groups and ranked and selected for funding within the 
specific group. This procedure will ensure the availability of a much 
larger group of reviewers without conflicts of interest. It also will 
increase the quality, independence, and fairness of the review process 
and permit panel members to review applications under discretionary 
grant competitions for which they also have submitted applications. 
However, if the Department selects for funding an equal number of 
applications in each group, different cut-off points for fundable 
applications in each group may result.

VI. Award Administration Information

    1. Award Notices: If your application is successful, we notify your 
U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and send you a Grant Award Notice 
(GAN). We may notify you informally, also.
    If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding, 
we notify you.
    2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements: We identify 
administrative and national policy requirements in the application 
package and reference these and other requirements in the Applicable 
Regulations section of this notice.
    We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of 
an award in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice and 
include these and other specific conditions in the GAN. The GAN also 
incorporates your approved application as part of your binding 
commitments under the grant.
    3. Reporting: At the end of your project period, you must submit a 
final performance report, including financial information, as directed 
by the Secretary. If you receive a multi-year award, you must submit an 
annual performance report that provides the most current performance 
and financial expenditure information as directed by

[[Page 43258]]

the Secretary under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary may also require more 
frequent performance reports under 34 CFR 75.720(c). For specific 
requirements on reporting, please go to https://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/
apply/appforms/appforms.html.
    4. Performance Measures: Under the Government Performance and 
Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), the Department has developed measures that 
will yield information on various aspects of the quality of the 
Technology and Media Services for Individuals with Disabilities 
program. These measures focus on the extent to which projects are of 
high quality, are relevant to the needs of children with disabilities, 
and contribute to improving results for children with disabilities. We 
will collect data on these measures from the projects funded under this 
competition.
    Grantees also will be required to report information on their 
projects' performance in annual reports to the Department (34 CFR 
75.590).
