institutions; State, Local, or Tribal

Abstract: The Office of Migrant
Education is collecting information for
the High School Equivalency Program
Annual Performance Report in
compliance with Higher Education Act
of 1965, as amended, Title IV, Sec.
418A; 20 U.S.C. 1070d–2 (special
programs for students whose families
are engaged in migrant and seasonal
farm work), the Government
Performance Results Act (GPRA) of
1993, Section 4 (1115), and the
Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR),
34 CFR 75.253. EDGAR states that
recipients of multi-year discretionary
grants must submit an Annual
Performance Report demonstrating that
substantial progress has been made
towards meeting the approved
objectives of the project. In addition,
discretionary grantees are required to
report on their progress toward meeting
the performance measures established
for the Department of Education grant
program. The Office of Migrant
Education requests a revision of a
currently approved collection to
continue the use of a customized
Annual Performance Report that goes
beyond the Department of Education
generic form number 524B Annual
Performance Report to facilitate the
collection of more standardized and
comprehensive data to inform GPRA, to
improve the overall quality of data
collected, and to increase the quality of
data that can be used to inform policy
decisions.

Public Comment
We invited comments on the
proposed extension of project period
and waiver in the notice of proposed
extension of project period and waiver.
Seven parties submitted comments in
agreement with the proposal to extend
the grant period of the current grantee.
We did not receive any comments
opposing the proposed extension of
project period and waiver. Generally,
we do not address technical and other
minor changes, as well as suggested
changes the law does not authorize us
to make. Moreover, we do not address
comments that do not express views on
the substance of the notice of proposed
extension of project period and waiver.

Waiver of Delayed Effective Date
The Administrative Procedure Act
requires that a substantive rule must be
published at least 30 days before its
effective date, except as otherwise
provided for good cause (5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3)). No comments were received
during the 15-day public comment
period opposing the notice of proposed
extension of project period and waiver,
and we have not made any substantive
changes to the extension and waiver.
The Secretary has determined therefore
that, to ensure a timely continuation
grant to the entity affected, a delayed
effective date is not required.
Background
On March 3, 2005, the Department
published a notice in the Federal
Register (70 FR 10374), inviting
applications for new awards for fiscal
year (FY) 2005 under the Technical
Assistance and Dissemination to
Improve Services and Results for
Children with Disabilities (TA&D)
program, authorized under section 663
of the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA), to support a State
and Federal Policy Forum for Program
Improvement Center (Project Forum).
Based on that notice, the Department
made one award for a period of 60
months to the National Association of
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
State Directors of Special Education to
carry out Project Forum.
The purpose of Project Forum is to
provide States, local educational
agencies (LEAs), and Federal decision
makers responsible for the
implementation of the IDEA with access
to valid statistics, research findings,
policy analyses, and current information
on trends in the provision of special
education and related services and early
intervention services. Specifically,
Project Forum assists States and LEAs
with the process of planning systemic
changes that will promote improved
early intervention, education, and
transitional results for children with
disabilities. Project Forum also provides
the Office of Special Education
Programs (OSEP) with a mechanism and
resources for analyzing policies and
emerging issues that are of significant
national concern.
Project Forum’s current project period
is scheduled to end on September 30,
2010. We do not believe it would be in
the public interest to hold new
competitions under the TA&D program
until the Department has considered
changes being made to the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965,
as amended (ESEA), during the process
of reauthorizing that law and the
Department has developed a
coordinated strategy for the provision of
technical assistance that is designed to
help States, LEAs, and schools
effectively implement key provisions of
the ESEA and IDEA and improve
educational results for all students. We
also have concluded that it would be
contrary to the public interest to have a
lapse in the provision of technical
assistance provided under the TA&D
program pending the reauthorization of
ESEA. For these reasons, the Secretary
waives the requirements in 34 CFR
75.250, which prohibit project periods
exceeding five years, and the
requirements in 34 CFR 75.261(a) and
(c), which limit the extension of a
project period if the extension involves
the obligation of additional Federal
funds, and issues a continuation award
in the amount of $450,000 to the
National Association of State Directors
of Special Education (H326F050001) for
an additional twelve-month period.
Waiving these regulations and issuing
this continuation award ensure that
continued technical assistance is
available to assist Federal decision
makers, States, and LEAs with systemic
changes that will promote improved
early intervention, education, and
transitional results for children with
disabilities, as the Department works on
reauthorization of the ESEA and designs
IDEA technical assistance competitions
