Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 101 / Friday, May 24, 2013 / Notices mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES A panel of non-Federal readers will review each application in accordance with the selection criteria, pursuant to 34 CFR 75.217. For each application, the individual scores of the readers, which include any points awarded for the competitive priorities, will be added and the sum divided by the number of readers to determine the reader score received in the review process. If there are insufficient funds for all applications with the same score, the Secretary will choose among the tied applications so as to serve geographical areas that have been underserved by the CCAMPIS Program. 3. Special Conditions: Under 34 CFR 74.14 and 80.12, the Secretary may impose special conditions on a grant if the applicant or grantee is not financially stable; has a history of unsatisfactory performance; has a financial or other management system that does not meet the standards in 34 CFR parts 74 or 80, as applicable; has not fulfilled the conditions of a prior grant; or is otherwise not responsible. VI. Award Administration Information 1. Award Notices: If your application is successful, we notify your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and send you a Grant Award Notification (GAN); or we may send you an email containing a link to access an electronic version of your GAN. We may notify you informally, also. If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding, we notify you. 2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements: We identify administrative and national policy requirements in the application package and reference these and other requirements in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice. We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of an award in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice and include these and other specific conditions in the GAN. The GAN also incorporates your approved application as part of your binding commitments under the grant. 3. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a grant under this competition, you must ensure that you have in place the necessary processes and systems to comply with the reporting requirements in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive funding under the competition. This does not apply if you have an exception under 2 CFR 170.110(b). (b) At the end of your project period, you must submit a final performance report, including financial information, as directed by the Secretary. If you receive a multi-year award, you must submit an annual performance report VerDate Mar<15>2010 21:14 May 23, 2013 Jkt 229001 31535 that provides the most current performance and financial expenditure information as directed by the Secretary under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary may also require more frequent performance reports under 34 CFR 75.720(c). For specific requirements on reporting, please go to www.ed.gov/ fund/grant/apply/appforms/ appforms.html. 4. Performance Measures: The success of the CCAMPIS Program will be measured by the postsecondary persistence and degree of completion rates of the CCAMPIS Program participants that remain at the grantee institution. All CCAMPIS Program grantees will be required to submit an annual performance report documenting the persistence and degree attainment of their participants. Since students may take different lengths of time to complete their degrees, multiple years of performance reports data are needed to determine the degree completion rates of CCAMPIS Program participants. The Department will aggregate the data provided in the annual performance reports from all grantees to determine the accomplishment level. 5. Continuation Awards: In making a continuation award, the Secretary may consider, under 34 CFR 75.253, the extent to which a grantee has made ‘‘substantial progress toward meeting the objectives in its approved application.’’ This consideration includes the review of a grantee’s progress in meeting the targets and projected outcomes in its approved application, and whether the grantee has expended funds in a manner that is consistent with its approved application and budget. In making a continuation grant, the Secretary also considers whether the grantee is operating in compliance with the assurances in its approved application, including those applicable to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination in programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance from the Department (34 CFR 100.4, 104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23). print, audiotape, or compact disc) on request to the program contact persons listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT in section VII of this notice.

ACTION: Notice of decision. AGENCY: EPA is granting the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB’s) request for authorization of California’s emission standards and accompanying enforcement procedures for in-use nonroad yard trucks and auxiliary engines used in two-engine sweepers as found within CARB’s ‘‘Regulation to Reduce Emissions of Diesel Particulate Matter, Oxides of Nitrogen and Other Criteria Pollutants from In-Use HeavyDuty Diesel-Fueled Vehicles’’ (Truck and Bus Regulation). The yard truck and auxiliary engine regulation that EPA is authorizing represents only a subset of provisions within the broader Truck and Bus Regulation. The California Truck and Bus Regulation establishes requirements for and principally applies to ‘‘non-new’’ on-road motor vehicles which are not the subject of this decision (such regulations are not preempted under the Clean Air Act). However, the Truck and Bus Regulation also applies to some engines that are subject to preemption, including any nonroad engines used to power yard trucks (which are principally used in nonroad agricultural operations) and the auxiliary engines used to power the broom or vacuum functions on twoengine sweepers. EPA’s authorization in this Notice of Decision applies only to the yard truck and auxiliary engine provisions in the Truck and Bus Regulation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 8, 2012, we published a notice in the Federal Register 
(77 FR 47375) inviting applications for new awards for FY 2012 under 
the AT AFP. The notice indicated that the absolute and competitive 
preference priorities in the notice would only apply to the FY 2012 
grant competition because authorization for this program and its 
funding was provided for a single year in the FY 2012 appropriations 
act. However, in FY 2013, this authorization and funding was retained 
in the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 
(Pub. L. 113-006).
    In FY 2012, we received 15 applications for AT AFP grants and made 
three grant awards with the funds available. Given the quality of the 
applications that did not receive funding and the limited funding 
available for new awards in FY 2013, we intend to select grantees in FY 
2013 from the existing slate of applicants.

Appropriations Act, 2013 (Pub. L. 113-006).
