Abstract: Originally authorized under Title X, Part I, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the program was initially administered through the U.S. Department of Education, which provided grants directly to over 1,825 grantees. With the reauthorization of the program under the No Child Left Behind Act, direct administration of the program was transferred to state education agencies (SEA) to administer their own grant competitions. Preliminary data shows that states have awarded approximately 1,400 grants to support more than 4,700 centers in every state in the country. The purpose of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program, as reauthorized under Title IV, Part B, of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, 4201 et seq., (20 U.S.C. 7171 et seq.), is to provide expanded academic enrichment opportunities for children attending low-performing schools. To reflect the changes in the authorization and administration of the 21st CCLC program and to comply with its reporting requirements, the Education Department (ED) is requesting authorization for the collection of data through Web-based, data-collection modules, the Annual Performance Report, the Grantee Profile, the Competition Overview, and the State Activities module, which collectively will be housed in an application called the 21st CCLC Profile and Performance Information Collection System (PPICS). The data will continue to be used to fulfill ED’s requirement under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) to report to Congress annually on the implementation and progress of 21st CCLC projects and the use of state administrative and technical assistance funds allocated to the states to support the program.

L. 110–227) and amended by Public Law 110–315 and Public Law 110–350 (December 2 Notice). The terms and conditions announced in the December 2 Notice apply to the purchase of Federal Family Education Loan Program (‘‘FFELP’’) loans made for the 2007–2008 academic year (the ‘‘Short-term Purchase Program’’). Included as an appendix to the December 2 Notice was the Master Loan Sale Agreement under which these purchases will be made. This notice makes three corrections to the December 2 Notice. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: U.S. Department of Education, Office of Federal Student Aid, Union Center Plaza, 830 First Street, NE., room 113F1, Washington, DC 20202. Telephone: (202) 377–4401 or by e-mail: ffel.agreementprocess@ed.gov. If you use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD), call the Federal Relay Service (FRS), toll free, at 1–800–877–8339.

E8–30078 Filed 12–17–08; 8:45 am] Correction Under the Short-term Purchase Program, the Department will purchase loans made under sections 428 (subsidized Stafford loans), 428B (PLUS loans), or 428H (unsubsidized Stafford loans) of the HEA for the 2007–2008 academic year (‘‘Eligible 2007–2008 Loans’’). The December 2 Notice described the method the Department uses to determine the amount of loans it will purchase in a week from each lender that offers to sell loans during that week. The December 2 Notice makes clear that the Department will spend up to $500 million to purchase loans in each week of the Short-term Purchase Program. As noted in the December 2 Notice, if $500 million is not sufficient to purchase all loans offered for sale during a week, the Department must determine that portion of the available funds which it will use to purchase loans offered by each seller that submitted an offer for that week. The December 2 Notice included an error in its explanation of how the Department will determine the portion of the $500 million that is available each week that it will use to purchase loans BILLING CODE 4000–01–P DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES AGENCY: Department of Education, Department of the Treasury, Office of Management and Budget. ACTION: Notice of terms and conditions of purchase of loans under the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008; correction. SUMMARY: On December 2, 2008, the Department of Education, the Department of the Treasury, and the Office of Management and Budget (collectively, ‘‘Secretaries and Director’’) jointly published a notice in the Federal Register (73 FR 73263) announcing the terms and conditions under which the Department will purchase loans VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:51 Dec 17, 2008 Jkt 217001 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 offered by each seller that submitted an offer for that week if there are not sufficient funds to purchase all loans offered. Specifically, in the second full paragraph, second column on page 73264 of the December 2 Notice, and in the second full paragraph in section 1 of the Master Loan Sale Agreement, which appears on page 73272 of the December 2 Notice, we incorrectly state that the Department will purchase from each seller that portion of the loans it offers to sell equal to each seller’s percentage of all Eligible 2007–2008 Loans held by all sellers that submitted offers for that week. This is not an accurate description of the method the Department uses. To determine the amount it will spend to purchase loans from each seller, the Department will first determine the total outstanding principal amount of Stafford and PLUS loans made for the 2007–2008 academic year that are held by all sellers that submitted offers for that week (without regard to the amount of those loans offered for sale by a seller for that week), and the percentage of that total that is held by each of those sellers.1 The Department will then multiply $500 million by each seller’s percentage of that total to determine the amount it will spend to purchase loans offered for sale by that seller for that week. To correct this error, the Secretaries and the Director make the following corrections to the December 2 Notice: 1. In the second full paragraph, second column of page 73264, the first sentence is deleted and replaced with the following: If the amount needed to purchase all loans in qualifying offers in a given week exceeds $500 million, the Department will first determine the total outstanding principal amount of subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans and PLUS loans made for the 2007–2008 academic year held by all lenders that submit qualifying offers to sell loans for that week, and the percentage of that total held by each of those lenders. The Department will then multiply $500 million by each lender’s percentage. To purchase loans from each lender, the Department will spend the resulting amount, or such lesser amount as may be needed to purchase all loans offered for sale by that lender. 2. In the second full paragraph on page 73272 of the December 2 Notice (73 FR 73272), the sentence that reads ‘‘If the amount needed to purchase all Eligible Loans in qualifying offers exceeds $500 million, the Department will purchase, from each Lender, an amount up to the total outstanding 1 The Department will make this determination using data showing amounts held as of November 19, 2008.
