ACTION:
SUMMARY: On November 18, 2009, the
Department of Education published a
document in the Federal Register
announcing final priorities,
requirements, definitions, and selection
criteria (‘‘Final Rule’’) for the Race to the
Top Fund. Included as Appendix B to
the November 18 Final Rule was the
Scoring Rubric that the Department
developed for the scoring of State
applications submitted under this
program. This document makes several
corrections to Appendix B to the
November 18 Final Rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Correction
Appendix B to the November 18 Final
Rule (74 FR 59688) provided a scoring
rubric containing a rubric and allocation
of point values that peer reviewers will
use to score applications from States
under the Race to the Top Fund.
Appendix B contained several errors
that we are correcting in this notice.
First, the chart on pages 59814 and
59815 omitted certain maximum point
values for the selection criteria. The
corrected chart provided in this notice
includes new rows for point values 6, 8,
and 28. It does not change any of the
previously published rows.
Second, in several instances
throughout Appendix B, in providing
General Reviewer Guidance for certain
of the selection criteria, we refer
reviewers to application requirement (d)
(Current Status and Evidence) when the
reference should not have been
included or the reference should have
been to application requirement (e)
(Plan for Use of Funds).
Finally, there was an error in the
‘‘Reviewer Guidance Specific to
Criterion (F)(2)(iii)’’ on page 59825. We
incorrectly stated both that ‘‘low’’ points
would be awarded if a State does not
have a charter school law and that no
points are earned if the State has no
charter school law. The reference to
‘‘low’’ points being awarded if a State
does not have a charter school law was
incorrect.
To correct these errors, the
Department makes the following
corrections to the November 12 Final
Rule:
1. On pages 59814 and 59815, the
chart is removed and replaced with the
following chart:
