I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
this program is to develop and
implement programs to provide
integrated courses of study that lead to
a baccalaureate degree in science,
technology, engineering, mathematics,
or a critical foreign language with
concurrent teacher certification.
Priorities: This notice contains one
absolute priority and two invitational
priorities. In accordance with 34 CFR
75.105(b)(2)(iv), the absolute priority is
from section 6113(c) of the America
COMPETES Act, 20 U.S.C 9813(c).
Absolute Priority: We are establishing
this priority for the FY 2008 grant
competition and any subsequent year in
which we make awards from the list of
unfunded applicants from this
competition. This priority is an absolute
priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3), we
consider only applications that meet
this priority.
This priority is:
Projects whose primary focus is on
placing participants in high-need local
educational agencies (LEAs). The
definition of high-need LEA can be
found in the America COMPETES Act,
title VI, section 6112(3), and is
described below.

Frm 00027
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Invitational Priority: Under this
competition we are particularly
interested in applications that address
the following priority.
For FY 2008 and any subsequent year
in which we make awards from the list
of unfunded applicants from this
competition, this priority is an
invitational priority. Under 34 CFR
75.105(c)(1), we do not give an
application that meets this invitational
priority a competitive or absolute
preference over other applications.
This priority is:
Projects that propose to design
specialized undergraduate programs
specifically tailored to assist native
speakers of critical foreign languages in
becoming certified teachers OR
programs that offer research-based
teacher preparation programs suited to
the particular needs of science,
technology, engineering, or mathematics
students.
Definition: For purposes of this
competition and any subsequent year in
which we make awards from the list of
unfunded applicants from this
competition, critical foreign languages
are defined as Arabic, Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, Russian, Hindi, Urdu,
Persian, and Turkish. Under the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) the Department generally offers
interested parties the opportunity to
comment on proposed definitions.
Section 437(d)(1) of GEPA, however,
allows the Secretary to exempt from
rulemaking requirements, definitions
governing the first grant competition
under a new or substantially revised
program authority. This is the first grant
competition for this program under 20
U.S.C. 9811, et seq. and therefore
qualifies for this exemption. In order to
ensure timely grant awards, the
Secretary has decided to forego public
comment on the definition of critical
foreign languages under section
437(d)(1) of GEPA. This definition will
apply to the FY 2008 grant competition
and any subsequent year in which we
make awards from the list of unfunded
applicants from this competition.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 9811, et seq.
Applicable Regulations: The
Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in
34 CFR parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 80, 82, 85,
86, 97, 98, and 99.
Note: The regulations in 34 CFR part 86
apply to institutions of higher education
only.
II. Award Information
Type of Award: Discretionary grants.
Estimated Available Funds: $900,000.
