Information Management Services,
Office of Management, publishes that

International Mathematics and Science
Study (TIMSS) 2011 and the Progress in

years in more than 60 countries and
provides data for internationally
benchmarking U.S. performance in
mathematics and science at the fourthand eighth-grade levels against other
countries around the world. PIRLS is
administered every five years in more
than 50 countries and provides
assessment data for internationally
benchmarking U.S. performance in
fourth-grade reading. NCES has received
OMB approval for the international field
test for the two studies, March 1–April
15, 2010. The full-scale data collection
will be in April–May 2011. NCES will

Educational Agencies program provides
grants to support local educational
agencies (LEAs) and other eligible
entities described in this notice in their
efforts to reform and improve
elementary and secondary school
programs that serve Indian students.
The Department funds programs
designed to help Indian students meet
the same challenging State academic
content and student academic
achievement standards used for all
students. In addition, under section
7116 of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965, as amended
(ESEA), the Secretary will, upon receipt
of an acceptable plan for the integration
of education and related services,
authorize the entity receiving the funds
under this program to consolidate, in
accordance with the entity’s plan, the
funds for any Federal program
exclusively serving Indian children, or
the funds reserved under any Federal
program to exclusively serve Indian
children, that are awarded under a
statutory or administrative formula to
the entity, for the purpose of providing
education and related services to Indian
students. Instructions for submitting an
integration of education and related
services plan are included in the EASIE
described elsewhere in this notice under
Application Process and Submission
Information.
Eligible Applicants: LEAs, including
charter schools authorized as LEAs
under State law, certain schools funded
by the Bureau of Indian Education of the
Department of the Interior, and Indian
tribes under certain conditions, as
prescribed by section 7112(c) of the
ESEA.
Application Process and Submission
Information: Formula Grant EASIE is an
easy-to-use, electronic application
system. It communicates with data from
State submissions to EDFacts, the
Department’s data collection system that
contains performance information from
State educational agencies about schools
and Federal education programs. To the
extent that your State has provided the
necessary EDFacts data files, Formula
Grant EASIE will be able to interface
with EDFacts and pull those LEAspecific data into the application.
Additionally, this system allows the
Department to review applications and
interact online with applicants during
the application review and approval
process.
Although you may download and
print sample forms from the system, the
application must be submitted
electronically through the Formula
Grant EASIE unless you do not have
Internet access and have made prior
arrangements with the Department. For
PO 00000

approval to submit a paper application,
you must contact the EDFacts Partner
Support Center (see the contact
information listed elsewhere in this
notice under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT) prior to the deadline for
transmittal of both Part I and Part II—
applications. If you are approved to
submit a paper application, you must
meet the submission deadlines included
in this notice.
Registration for Formula Grant EASIE
is required. For information on how to
register, contact the EDFacts Partner
Support Center listed elsewhere in this
notice under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.
The Formula Grant EASIE application
is divided into two parts—Part I and
Part II.
Part I, Student Count, provides the
appropriate data entry screens to submit
your Indian student count totals.
Part II, Program and Budget
Information, provides your award
amount based on the Indian student
count total submitted under Part I. Part
II also enables you to enter student
performance data, identify your
project’s services and activities, and
build a realistic program budget based
on a known grant amount. Based on
student assessment data, you will select
your program objectives and services
from a variety of menu options that
were designed with grantee input.
Estimated Available Funds: The
Administration has requested
$99,331,000 for this program for FY
2010. The actual level of funding, if any,
depends on final Congressional action.
However, we are inviting applications to
allow enough time to complete the grant
process if Congress appropriates funds
for this program.
Estimated Range of Awards: $4,000–
$2,000,000.
Estimated Average Size of Awards:
$78,460.
Estimated Number of Awards: 1,266.
Note: The Department is not bound by any
estimates in this notice and funding levels
may change based on final appropriations for
the program.
Project Period: 12 months.

34 CFR 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 84, 85, 86,
