Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 45 / Monday, March 9, 2015 / Proposed Rules
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this
proposed rule would not result in such
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of
this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule would not cause a
taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under
Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with
Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This proposed rule meets applicable
standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce
burden.
10. Protection of Children From
Environmental Health Risks
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically
significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to
safety that might disproportionately
affect children.
11. Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have
tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have
a substantial direct effect on one or
more Indian tribes, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes.
12. Energy Effects
This proposed rule is not a
‘‘significant energy action’’ under
Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards
This proposed rule does not use
technical standards. Therefore, we did
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.
14. Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023–01
and Commandant Instruction

have made a preliminary determination
that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. This rule is
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure
2–1 of the Commandant Instruction. A
preliminary environmental analysis
checklist supporting this determination
is available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek
any comments or information that may
lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this
proposed rule.

Proposed Waiver and Extension of the
Project Period for the Community
Parent Resource Centers
Office of Special Education
Programs (OSEP), Office of Special
Education and Rehabilitative Services
(OSERS), Department of Education.
ACTION: Proposed waiver and extension
of the project period.
AGENCY:
The Secretary proposes to
waive the requirements in the Education
Department General Administrative
Regulations that generally prohibit
project periods exceeding five years and
project period extensions involving the
obligation of additional Federal funds.
We take this action because this
proposed waiver and extension of the
project period would enable nine
currently funded Community Parent
Resource Centers (CPRCs) to receive
funding from October 1, 2015, through
September 30, 2016.
DATES: We must receive your comments
on or before April 8, 2015.

Background
On May 3, 2010, the Department of
Education (Department) published in
the Federal Register (75 FR 23254) a
notice inviting applications (2010 NIA)
for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2010
for up to 10 CPRCs. The CPRCs were
funded under the Parent Training and
Information (PTI) Program, authorized
under sections 672 and 673 of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA).
The purpose of CPRCs is to provide
underserved parents of children with
disabilities in targeted communities—
including low-income parents, parents
of limited English proficient children,
and parents with disabilities—with the
training and information they need to
enable them to participate cooperatively
and effectively in helping their children
with disabilities to—
(1) Meet developmental and
functional goals, as well as challenging
academic achievement standards that
have been established for all children;
and
(2) Be prepared to lead the most
productive, independent adult lives
possible.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:26 Mar 06, 2015
Jkt 235001
The CPRCs provide training and
information to parents of infants,
toddlers, and children, from birth
through age 26, with the full range of
disabilities described in section 602(3)
of IDEA by: (a) Responding to
individual requests for information and
support from parents of children with
disabilities, including parents of
children who may be inappropriately
identified in their targeted communities;
(b) providing training to parents of
children with disabilities; (c) supporting
parents of children with disabilities, as
needed, such as helping them to prepare
for individualized education program or
individualized family service plan
meetings; and (d) maintaining a Web
site and social media presence, as
appropriate, to inform parents in their
targeted communities of appropriate
resources.
Based on the selection criteria
published in the 2010 NIA, the
Department made awards for a period of
60 months to 10 organizations, nine of
which have received FY 2014
continuation funding: Fiesta Educativa
in California; Parent to Parent of Miami,
Inc. in Florida; Agenda for Children/
Pyramid Parent Training in Louisiana;
Urban PRIDE in Massachusetts; SPEAKS
Education, Inc. in Michigan; Education
for Parents of Indian Children with
Special Needs (EPICS) in New Mexico;
Palau Parents Empowered in Palau;
Philadelphia HUNE, Inc. in
Pennsylvania; and Disabilities
Information Coalition in Texas.
The 2010 CPRC cohort’s current
project period is scheduled to end on
September 30, 2015. We do not believe
that it would be in the public interest to
run a competition for new CPRCs this
year because the Department is in the
process of changing the competition
schedule for the PTI Program to make
better use of Department resources.
Under the proposed CPRC competition
schedule, instead of holding three
competitions over five years, each for 10
CPRCs, we would hold one competition
for 30 CPRCs for a project period of up
to five years. We propose to fund 30
CPRCs in FY 2016. We also have
concluded that it would be contrary to
the public interest to provide services to
fewer underserved families in order to
change the Department’s competition
schedule.
For these reasons, the Secretary
proposes to waive the requirements in
34 CFR 75.250, which prohibit project
periods exceeding five years, as well as
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
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
12371
would allow the Department to issue FY
2015 continuation awards of $100,000
to each of the nine centers in the FY
2010 cohort.
Any activities carried out during the
year of this continuation award would
have to be consistent with, or a logical
extension of, the scope, goals, and
objectives of the grantee’s application as
approved in the FY 2010 CPRC
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 2010 NIA
and the requirements in 34 CFR 75.253
would apply to any continuation awards
sought by the current CPRC grantees.
We will base our decisions regarding
continuation awards on the program
narratives, budgets, budget narratives,
and program performance reports
submitted by the current grantees, 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 entities that would be affected
by the proposed waiver and extension of
the project period are the current
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 extension
of an existing project period 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 proposed waiver and
extension of the project period does not
contain any information collection
requirements.
Intergovernmental Review
This program is subject to Executive
Order 12372 and the regulations in 34
CFR part 79. One of the objectives of the
Executive order is to foster an
intergovernmental partnership and a

State and local governments for
coordination and review of proposed
Federal financial assistance. This

on the agency’s periodic retrospective
review of its regulations. Executive
Order 13563, ‘‘Improving Regulation
and Regulatory Review,’’ and Executive
Order 13610, ‘‘Identifying and Reducing

with what has been learned. The EPA is

DATES:
The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
is committed to a regulatory strategy
that effectively achieves the Agency’s
mission of protecting the environment
and the health, welfare, and safety of
Americans while also supporting
economic growth, job creation,
competitiveness, and innovation.
Recognizing the importance of
reducing unnecessary red tape—
especially for America’s small
businesses—with Executive Orders
13563 and 13610 President Obama
launched a historic review of existing
rules to eliminate, streamline or update
those that no longer make sense in their
current form. This effort is on track to
produce completed actions that will
reduce nearly $20 billion in regulatory
costs in the near term.
As part of this review, in August 2011
the agency issued its Final Plan for
Periodic Retrospective Reviews of
Existing Regulations (https://
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
www.epa.gov/regdarrt/). This Plan was
developed after extensive public
outreach that sought input on an agency
plan for retrospective review, as well as
on possible reforms to modify,
streamline, expand or repeal existing
regulations. That outreach included 20
public meetings, town halls, and
Webinars with over 600 participants.
Since 2011, the EPA has maintained an
open comment docket for public
feedback on the existing Plan for
Periodic Retrospective Review of
Existing Regulations and the subsequent
progress reports. To date, we have
completed 21 of our original 35
retrospective reviews. We added five
new reviews in July 2014.
The EPA views this review process as
an ongoing exercise and is seeking
further public input to ensure our
regulations continue to maximize net
social benefit. The focus of this new
request for input is on how the agency
can promote regulatory modernization
through business-process streamlining
facilitated by improved technology. We
specifically solicit comments on the
following questions:
D Which regulations, including
economically significant rules, could be
transitioned from paper to electronic
reporting?
D How can the EPA reduce duplicative
reporting requirements in existing
regulations that may overlap other
federal requirements?
D How can the EPA streamline or
consolidate reporting requirements to
reduce burden?
D Which regulations could benefit
from the use of existing shared services
(such as the Substance Registry System)
or new shared services?
D Should the EPA create a joint
registry of regulated facilities with states
and tribes to streamline electronic
reporting to multiple programs and
maximize burden reduction?
D Which regulations could be
improved through the use of advance
monitoring techniques or the
development of mobile applications to
facilitate environmental protection?
D Which regulations could be
amended to reduce the frequency of
reporting while maintaining effective
programs?
D Is the same information being
collected in multiple places, either
across different regulations, or across
different levels of government (Federal,
State, Tribal, and local)?
We request that commenters be as
specific as possible, include any
supporting data or other information,
and provide a citation when referencing
a specific regulation. In addition, in
drafting comments, bear in mind that

The 2010 CPRC cohort's current project period is scheduled to end
on September 30, 2015. We do not believe that it would be in the public
interest to run a competition for new CPRCs this year because the
Department is in the process of changing the competition schedule for

applicable to continuation awards for this competition set forth in the
