[FR Doc. 2011–800 Filed 1–13–11; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4000–01–P DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Proposed Waiver and Extension of Project Period Office of Innovation and Improvement, Education. ACTION: Notice of proposed waiver and extension of project period. AGENCY: The Secretary proposes to waive the requirements in 34 CFR 75.250 and 75.261(c)(2) of the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) that, respectively, generally prohibit project periods exceeding five years and project period extensions involving the obligation of additional Federal funds. The FY 2010 appropriation provided the fifth year of funding for 60 of the 62 Parental Information and Resource Center (PIRC) grants that were funded in FY 2006, and the fourth year of funding for the remaining two grants that were funded in FY 2007. The proposed waivers would enable 60 of the 62 current grantees under the PIRC program to continue to receive Federal funding beyond the five-year limitation contained in 34 CFR 75.250 and enable the Department to obligate an additional year of Federal funds for all 62 current eligible grantees notwithstanding the limitation in 34 CFR 75.261(c)(2), which prohibits the extension of a project period if it involves the obligation of additional Federal funds. This additional year of Federal funds would be contingent on final Congressional action on the FY 2011 budget. DATES: We must receive your comments on or before February 14, 2011. ADDRESSES: Address all comments about this proposed waiver and extension of project period to Monique Toussaint, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., Room 4W243, Washington, DC 20202–5970. Telephone: (202) 260–0964. If you prefer to send your comments by e-mail, use the following address: pirc@ed.gov. You must include the phrase ‘‘proposed waiver and extension of project period’’ in the subject line of your electronic message. SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\14JAN1.SGM 14JAN1
