these grantees to their clients rather
than transition to new grantees every
three years. These services include
disseminating information on successful
education practices and legal
requirements related to
nondiscrimination on the basis of race,
sex, and national origin in educational
programs; training designed to develop
educators’ skills in specific areas such
as identification of race and sex bias in
instructional materials; technical
assistance in the identification and
selection of appropriate educational
programs to meet the needs of limited
English proficient students; addressing
disproportionality in schools among
students and/or teachers; and
instructing school officials on how to
prevent sexual harassment and combat
biases. In addition, issuing continuation
awards, instead of holding a new
competition, will also allow the current
grantees to continue to serve as a
resource for the Office for Civil Rights
in working with school districts that
have achieved unitary status. The
grantees would continue to offer
technical assistance to school districts,
State education agencies, and others
who seek to resolve civil rights conflicts
and promote social justice and equity.
Further, the current grantees would
continue to provide resources and
training in the areas of hate crimes,
racial prejudice, and bullying.
We intend to fund the extended
project period by using the FY 2014 and
FY 2015 funds, depending on whether
the grants are extended for one or two
years, that Congress appropriates under
the current statutory authority.
Under this proposed waiver and
extension of the project period—
(1) Current grantees will be
authorized to receive EAC continuation
awards annually for up to two years.
(2) We will not announce a new EAC
competition or make new EAC grant
awards in FY 2014.
(3) During the extension period, any
activities carried out must be consistent
with, or be a logical extension of the
scope, goals, and objectives of each
grantee’s approved application from the
2011 EAC competition.
(4) Each grantee who receives a
continuation award must also continue
to comply with the requirements
established in the program regulations
and the 2011 EAC NIA.
Furthermore, all requirements
applicable to continuation awards for
current EAC grantees and the
requirements in 34 CFR 75.253 will
apply to any continuation awards
received by current EAC grantees.
If we announce this proposed waiver
and extension as final, we will make

decisions regarding annual continuation
awards based on each grantee
demonstrating substantial progress
performing its approved grant activities,
as evidenced through program
narratives, budgets and budget
narratives, and performance reports, and
based on the regulations in 34 CFR
75.253.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
The Secretary certifies that the
proposed waiver and extension and the
activities required to support additional
years of funding would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The entities that would be affected by
this proposed waiver and extension are
the 10 current EAC grantees receiving
Federal funds and any other potential
applicants.
The Secretary certifies that the
proposed waiver and extension would
not have a significant economic impact
on these entities because the proposed
waiver and extension impose minimal
compliance costs to extend projects
already in existence, and the activities
required to support the additional years
of funding would not impose additional
regulatory burdens or require
unnecessary Federal supervision.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This proposed waiver and extension
does not contain any information
collection requirements.
Intergovernmental Review: This
program is subject to Executive Order
12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR

order relies on processes developed by
State 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.

for the transmission of electric energy
between the United States and a foreign
country is prohibited in the absence of

Canadian border into Maine.
The requested transfer of the permit is
due to the merger of Maine Public and
Bangor Hydro that was finalized by the
Maine Public Utilities Commission on
December 17, 2013 and effective January

that the issuance of the permit to Bangor
Hydro be made effective upon the
