Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 34 / Wednesday, February 20, 2013 / Proposed Rules
provided by the Center pending the
changes to the organization of the
Department’s TA activities. For these
reasons, the Secretary proposes to waive
the requirements in 34 CFR 75.250,
which prohibit project periods
exceeding five years, and waive the
requirements in 34 CFR 75.261(a) and
(c)(2), which limit the extension of a
project period if the extension involves
the obligation of additional Federal
funds. The waiver would allow the
Department to issue a continuation
award in the amount of $665,000 to
Clemson University for an additional
12-month period, which should ensure
that the Center’s TA, training, and
dissemination of information to
families, SEAs, LEAs, and other State
agencies will not be interrupted.
Any activities to be carried out during
the year of the continuation award
would have to be consistent with, or be
a logical extension of, the scope, goals,
and objectives of the grantee’s
application as approved in the 2008
National Dropout Prevention Center for
Students with Disabilities competition.
If the proposed waiver and extension
of the project period are announced in
a final notice in the Federal Register,
the requirements applicable to
continuation awards for this
competition, set forth in the June 23,
2008, notice inviting applications, and
the requirements in 34 CFR 75.253
would apply to any continuation awards
sought by the current National Dropout
Prevention Center for Students with
Disabilities grantee. If we announce the
waiver and extension as final, we will
base our decisions regarding a
continuation award on the program
narrative, budget, budget narrative, and
program performance report submitted
by the current grantee, and the
requirements in 34 CFR 75.253.

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
The Department certifies that the
proposed waiver and extension of the
project period would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The only entity that would be affected
by the proposed waiver and extension of
the project period is the current grantee.
The Secretary certifies that the
proposed waiver and extension would
not have a significant economic impact
on this entity because the extension of
an existing project imposes minimal
compliance costs, and the activities
required to support the additional year
of funding would not impose additional
regulatory burdens or require
unnecessary Federal supervision.
