activities offering a sequence of courses
that—
(a) Provides individuals with coherent
and rigorous content aligned with
challenging academic standards and
relevant technical knowledge and skills
needed to prepare for further education
and careers in current or emerging
professions;
(b) Provides technical skill
proficiency, an industry-recognized
credential, a certificate, or an associate
degree; and
(c) Includes competency-based
applied learning that contributes to the
academic knowledge, higher-order
reasoning and problem-solving skills,
work attitudes, general employability
skills, technical and occupation-specific
skills, and knowledge of all aspects of
an industry, including
entrepreneurship, of an individual.
Projects may include prerequisite
courses (other than remedial courses)
that meet the definitional requirements
of section 3(5)(A) of the Act (20 U.S.C.
2302(5)(A)).
On June 14, 2013, we published in the
Federal Register (78 FR 35877) a notice
inviting applications for NHCTEP grants
(2013 NIA). Although the Secretary
invited applications with a proposed
project period of five years in previous
NHCTEP competitions, in 2013, in
anticipation of congressional
reauthorization of the Act, the
Department invited applications with
proposed project periods of 24 months.
The project periods for the NHCTEP
projects funded under the 2013 NIA are
scheduled to end in 2015. Because there
is the potential for changes in the
authorizing legislation for NHCTEP
beyond 2015, we do not believe it
would be in the public interest to hold
a new NHCTEP competition in FY 2015
for projects that may then operate for
just one year or to announce a
competition under which eligible
entities would be expected to proceed
through the application preparation and
submission process while lacking
critical information about the future of
the program. Further, we do not think
that it would be in the public interest to
have a lapse in the services currently
provided by the NHCTEP grantees.
For these reasons, the Secretary
proposes to waive the requirements of
34 CFR 75.261(a) and (c)(2) that
generally prohibit project period
extensions involving the obligation of
additional Federal funds. The Secretary
also proposes to extend the NHCTEP
project period for up to 24 months. The
proposed waiver and extension would
allow the current NHCTEP grantees to
request and continue to receive Federal
funding annually for project periods
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
through FY 2016 and possibly through
FY 2017. We intend to fund the
extended project period by using funds
appropriated for FY 2015 or FY 2016,
depending on whether the grants are
extended for one or two years.
If the waiver of the requirements of 34
CFR 75.261(a) and (c)(2) that we
propose in this notice is announced by
a notice of final waiver and extension of
the project period published in the
Federal Register: (1) The requirements
applicable to continuation awards for
current NHCTEP grantees set forth in
the 2013 NIA and the requirements in
34 CFR 75.253 would apply to any
continuation awards sought by current
NHCTEP grantees; (2) we will make
decisions regarding annual continuation
awards based on grantee program
narratives, budgets and budget
narratives, and performance reports and
the requirements in 34 CFR 75.253; and
(3) we will not announce a new
competition or make new awards in FY
2015.
The proposed waiver and project
period extension would not exempt the
current NHCTEP grantees from the
appropriation account closing
provisions of 31 U.S.C. 1552(a), nor
would they extend the availability of
funds previously awarded to current
NHCTEP grantees. As a result of 31
U.S.C. 1552(a), appropriations available
for a limited period may be used for
payment of valid obligations for only
five years after the expiration of their
period of availability for Federal
obligation. After that time, the
unexpended balance of those funds is
canceled and returned to the U.S.
Department of the Treasury and is
unavailable for restoration for any
purpose (31 U.S.C. 1552(b)).
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This notice of proposed waiver and
extension does not contain any
information collection requirements.
Intergovernmental Review
The NHCTEP is not subject to
Executive Order 12372 and the
regulations in 34 CFR part 79.

BILLING CODE 4000–01–P
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 small entities that would be
affected by this proposed waiver and
extension are the seven currently
funded NHCTEP grantees 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 extension
of an existing project imposes minimal
compliance costs, and the activities
required to support the additional years
of funding would not impose additional
regulatory burdens or require
unnecessary Federal supervision.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

of Gasoline Into Vehicle Fuel Tanks,
SJVUAPCD Rule 4621, Gasoline
Transfer Into Stationary Storage

Plants, and SJVUAPCD Rule 4622,
Gasoline Transfer Into Motor Vehicle
Fuel Tanks. In the Rules and
Regulations section of this Federal
Register, we are approving these local
rules in a direct final action without
prior proposal because we believe these
SIP revisions are not controversial. If we
receive adverse comments, however, we
will publish a timely withdrawal of the
direct final rule and address the
comments in subsequent action based
on this proposed rule. Please note that
if we receive adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be
severed from the remainder of the rule,
we may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment.
We do not plan to open a second
comment period, so anyone interested
in commenting should do so at this
time. If we do not receive adverse
comments, no further activity is
planned. For further information, please
see the direct final action.

In the
final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State’s
SIP submittal as a direct rule without
prior proposal because the Agency
views this as noncontroversial submittal
and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set
forth in the direct final rule. If no
relevant adverse comments are received
in response to this action no further
activity is contemplated. If EPA receives
relevant adverse comments, the direct
final rule will be withdrawn and all
public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will
not institute a second comment period.
Any parties interested in commenting
on this action should do so at this time.

direct final rule which is located in the
