SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 2, 2013, we published a notice in the Federal Register (78 FR 46860) proposing an extension of project period and a waiver of 34 CFR 75.250 and 75.261(a) and (c)(2) in order to— (1) Enable the Secretary to provide additional funds to the currently funded Center for an additional 12-month period, from October 1, 2013, through September 30, 2014; and (2) Request comments on the proposed extension of project period and waiver. There are no substantive differences between the proposed waiver and extension and this final waiver and extension. SUMMARY: pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES Public Comment In response to our invitation in the notice of proposed waiver and extension of the project period, we did not receive any substantive comments. Generally, we do not address comments that raise concerns not directly related to the proposed waiver and extension of project period. Background On June 5, 2008, the Department published a notice in the Federal Register (73 FR 32016) inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2008 for a Technical Assistance Coordination Center (Center). The Center was funded under the Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:23 Sep 17, 2013 Jkt 229001 (TA&D) program, authorized under section 663 of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Its purpose is to support ongoing communication, collaboration, and coordination among the centers in the OSEP-funded TA&D Network, and between these centers and other relevant federally funded TA&D centers, national professional organizations, and a broad spectrum of stakeholders. Approximately 30 OSEP-funded centers comprise the TA&D Network and provide technical assistance (TA) covering a variety of areas to State educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), Part C State lead agencies, early intervention service (EIS) programs and providers, families of children with disabilities, and others to improve services and outcomes for children served under Part B and Part C of IDEA. Based on the selection criteria published in the 2008 notice inviting applications, the Department made one award for a period of 60 months to the Academy for Educational Development, Inc. (now FHI 360) to establish the Center, which is currently known as the Technical Assistance Coordination Center. The Center has two broad goals: (1) Create a resource center where the various TA&D centers funded by OSEP and other Federal agencies that provide assistance and support to States, LEAs, EIS programs and providers, and stakeholders in the field can store and share information and resources developed by TA providers. (2) Support OSEP in developing a comprehensive network integrating a variety of relevant federally funded centers, professional organizations, and other stakeholders to collaborate, solve problems together, and exchange knowledge and expertise. The Center accomplishes this work by: (a) Creating ongoing opportunities to promote coordination, communication, and collaboration among OSEP-funded TA centers and other federally funded TA centers through various workgroups, meetings, listservs, and TA communities of practice; (b) maintaining a Web site that houses tools that TA&D Network projects have developed or can use in their TA delivery (e.g., product database, discretionary database, and TA&D Network Web site search); and (c) sharing knowledge of best practices in collaboration with the TA&D Network and other federally funded TA centers. The Center’s current project period is scheduled to end on September 30, 2013. We do not believe that it would be in the public interest to run a PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 57265 competition for a new Center this year because the Department is planning to change the organization of its TA activities to better coordinate Federal TA activities to meet the needs of children with disabilities. We also have concluded that it would be contrary to the public interest to have a lapse in the provision of TA services currently provided by the Center pending the changes to the organization of the Department’s TA activities. For these reasons, the Secretary waives the requirements in 34 CFR 75.250, which prohibit project periods exceeding five years, and waives the requirements in 34 CFR 75.261(a) and (c)(2), which allow the extension of a project period only if the extension does not involve the obligation of additional Federal funds. The waiver allows the Department to issue a continuation award in the amount of $1,299,827 to FHI 360 for an additional 12-month period, which should ensure that the Center’s support of, and collaboration and coordination with, the Federal TA&D centers 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 Technical Assistance Coordination Center competition. The requirements applicable to continuation awards for this competition, set forth in the June 5, 2008, notice inviting applications, and the requirements in 34 CFR 75.253 apply to any continuation awards sought by the current Technical Assistance Coordination Center grantee. We 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. 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)). We received no substantive comments on the proposed waiver and extension of project period, and we have not made any substantive changes to the proposed waiver and extension of project period. The Secretary has made a determination to waive the delayed effective date to ensure provision of TA services currently provided by the Center pending the changes to the organization of the Department’s TA activities. E:\FR\FM\18SER1.SGM 18SER1 57266 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2013 / Rules and Regulations Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification The Secretary certifies that this 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 this waiver and extension of the project period is the current grantee. The Secretary certifies that this waiver and final 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.

Background On July 15, 2008, the Department published a notice in the Federal Register (73 FR 40548) inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2008 for the Partnership Project funded under the Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children With Disabilities (TA&D) program, authorized under section 663 of IDEA. The Partnership Project is intended to provide opportunities for national associations to collaborate with each other and with their collective State and local affiliates to improve the implementation of education policies and practices in States. The goal of the Partnership Project is also intended to bridge the gap between research, policy, and practice in both special education and general education so that the needs of all students can be meaningfully addressed. The Partnership Project has worked to unite multiple national associations and their State and local affiliates, representing policymakers, service providers, local-level administrators, and families, to improve the implementation of IDEA and outcomes for students with disabilities. These associations and their State and local affiliates need continued support to engage in meaningful dialogue, continual learning, and problem solving that will improve the implementation of IDEA and outcomes for students with disabilities. The Department made one award for a period of 60 months to the National Association of State Directors of Special Education (NASDSE) to establish the Partnership Project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 2, 2013, we published a notice in 
the Federal Register (78 FR 46860) proposing an extension of project 
period and a waiver of 34 CFR 75.250 and 75.261(a) and (c)(2) in order 
to--
    (1) Enable the Secretary to provide additional funds to the 
currently funded Center for an additional 12-month period, from October 
1, 2013, through September 30, 2014; and
    (2) Request comments on the proposed extension of project period 
and waiver.
    There are no substantive differences between the proposed waiver 
and extension and this final waiver and extension.

Public Comment

    In response to our invitation in the notice of proposed waiver and 
extension of the project period, we did not receive any substantive 
comments. Generally, we do not address comments that raise concerns not 
directly related to the proposed waiver and extension of project 
period.

Background

    On June 5, 2008, the Department published a notice in the Federal 
Register (73 FR 32016) inviting applications for new awards for fiscal 
year (FY) 2008 for a Technical Assistance Coordination Center (Center). 
The Center was funded 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). Its purpose is to support ongoing 
communication, collaboration, and coordination among the centers in the 
OSEP-funded TA&D Network, and between these centers and other relevant 
federally funded TA&D centers, national professional organizations, and 
a broad spectrum of stakeholders. Approximately 30 OSEP-funded centers 
comprise the TA&D Network and provide technical assistance (TA) 
covering a variety of areas to State educational agencies (SEAs), local 
educational agencies (LEAs), Part C State lead agencies, early 
intervention service (EIS) programs and providers, families of children 
with disabilities, and others to improve services and outcomes for 
children served under Part B and Part C of IDEA.
    Based on the selection criteria published in the 2008 notice 
inviting applications, the Department made one award for a period of 60 
months to the Academy for Educational Development, Inc. (now FHI 360) 
to establish the Center, which is currently known as the Technical 
Assistance Coordination Center.
    The Center has two broad goals:
    (1) Create a resource center where the various TA&D centers funded 
by OSEP and other Federal agencies that provide assistance and support 
to States, LEAs, EIS programs and providers, and stakeholders in the 
field can store and share information and resources developed by TA 
providers.
    (2) Support OSEP in developing a comprehensive network integrating 
a variety of relevant federally funded centers, professional 
organizations, and other stakeholders to collaborate, solve problems 
together, and exchange knowledge and expertise.
    The Center accomplishes this work by: (a) Creating ongoing 
opportunities to promote coordination, communication, and collaboration 
among OSEP-funded TA centers and other federally funded TA centers 
through various workgroups, meetings, listservs, and TA communities of 
practice; (b) maintaining a Web site that houses tools that TA&D 
Network projects have developed or can use in their TA delivery (e.g., 
product database, discretionary database, and TA&D Network Web site 
search); and (c) sharing knowledge of best practices in collaboration 
with the TA&D Network and other federally funded TA centers.
    The Center's current project period is scheduled to end on 
September 30, 2013. We do not believe that it would be in the public 
interest to run a competition for a new Center this year because the 
Department is planning to change the organization of its TA activities 
to better coordinate Federal TA activities to meet the needs of 
children with disabilities. We also have concluded that it would be 
contrary to the public interest to have a lapse in the provision of TA 
services currently provided by the Center pending the changes to the 
organization of the Department's TA activities. For these reasons, the 
Secretary waives the requirements in 34 CFR 75.250, which prohibit 
project periods exceeding five years, and waives the requirements in 34 
CFR 75.261(a) and (c)(2), which allow the extension of a project period 
only if the extension does not involve the obligation of additional 
Federal funds. The waiver allows the Department to issue a continuation 
award in the amount of $1,299,827 to FHI 360 for an additional 12-month 
period, which should ensure that the Center's support of, and 
collaboration and coordination with, the Federal TA&D centers 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 Technical Assistance Coordination 
Center competition.
    The requirements applicable to continuation awards for this 
competition, set forth in the June 5, 2008, notice inviting 
applications, and the requirements in 34 CFR 75.253 apply to any 
continuation awards sought by the current Technical Assistance 
Coordination Center grantee. We 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.

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)). We received no 
substantive comments on the proposed waiver and extension of project 
period, and we have not made any substantive changes to the proposed 
waiver and extension of project period. The Secretary has made a 
determination to waive the delayed effective date to ensure provision 
of TA services currently provided by the Center pending the changes to 
the organization of the Department's TA activities.

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

    The Secretary certifies that this 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 this waiver and extension 
of the project period is the current grantee.
    The Secretary certifies that this waiver and final 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.

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This notice of final waiver and extension of the project period 
does not contain any information collection requirements.

and local governments for coordination and review of proposed Federal 
financial assistance. This document provides early notification of our 
specific plans and actions for this program.
