ACTION: Final waiver and extension of the project period. AGENCY: [Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.101A.] For the 24-month projects funded in fiscal year (FY) 2013 under the Native American Career and Technical Education Program (NACTEP), the Secretary waives the requirements that generally prohibit project period extensions involving the obligation of additional Federal funds. The Secretary also extends the project periods of these grants for up to an additional 24 months. This enables the current NACTEP grantees to request and continue to receive Federal funding annually in FY 2015 and FY 2016 for project periods through FY 2016 and possibly through FY 2017. DATES: The waiver and extension of the project period is effective July 6, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 10, 2015, we published in the Federal Register (80 FR 7440) a proposed waiver of 34 CFR 75.261(a) and (c)(2) and extension of the project period (proposed waiver and extension) in order to— (1) Enable the Secretary to provide additional funds to the current NACTEP grantees with FY 2015 funds and possibly FY 2016 funds for project Lhorne on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:37 Jul 02, 2015 Jkt 235001 periods through FY 2016 and possibly through FY 2017; and (2) Request comments on the proposed waiver and extension. There are no substantive differences between the proposed waiver and extension and the final waiver and extension. Public Comment: In response to our invitation in the proposed waiver and extension, we received 22 comments. Generally, we do not address comments that raise concerns not related to the proposed waiver and extension. Analysis of Comments and Discussion An analysis of the comments received in response to the proposed waiver and extension follows. Comments: The 22 comments we received supported the proposed waiver and extension of the NACTEP project period. We heard from a variety of commenters, including tribal community college presidents, deans and administrators, teachers, students, and project evaluators. Several commenters provided a variety of reasons for their support of the waiver and extension, including: the effectiveness of work being done by current grantees, the number of students served and placed in employment under current projects, and the great need for NACTEP projects to continue in the Native American and Alaska communities served by current projects. Several commenters stated that it would be difficult for eligible entities to prepare NACTEP applications for shortterm funding prior to the expected reauthorization of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (the Perkins Act). Some commenters stated that it was not in the public interest to conduct a NACTEP grant competition at this time because there are likely to be changes in the Perkins Act for NACTEP beyond FY 2015. Several commenters expressed the view that the waiver and extension are necessary to allow current students sufficient time to complete their programs, which include programs awarding industry-recognized credentials, two-year certificates, and associate degrees. One commenter noted that tribal colleges would not have sufficient time to plan, establish, or effectively operate viable programs, in a one-year timeframe. The commenter expressed the view that continuing the projects of current grantees would eliminate the difficulties, barriers, and inefficiencies associated with starting new programs, stating that extending the current project period and funding of current PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 grantees would: Capitalize upon the current momentum of grantee service delivery, since service streams were already in place and operational; allow current grantees to modify their programs based on their experience to date without disruption to the projects’ participants, partnerships, programs, or plans; and increase the likelihood of student attainment of associate degrees and certificates and subsequent job placement. The commenter further stated that, under NACTEP, grantees must evaluate the long-term impact of each project, which will be facilitated by extending the project duration beyond two years. Another commenter noted that a lapse of funds would create a set-back in the progress made in cultivating successful relationships with the local community college to provide in-demand training within their Native American community. A commenter provided examples of exemplary NACTEP programs that are making substantial gains in combating poverty and unemployment, long-term joblessness, and other problems that contribute to the lack of gainful employment. The commenter stated that the grantees have partnered with local community colleges to provide students opportunities to earn college credits, as well as State and national certifications that prepare students for employment. This commenter expressed the need for the Department to approve the NACTEP waiver and extension for current grantees. Discussion: We appreciate the commenters’ support and agree that extending the current NACTEP grant period will allow current NACTEP grantees to continue to work towards accomplishing the goals and objectives stated in their 2013 NACTEP applications, including providing specialized career and technical education programs to Native American students. We agree that it is important that there not be a lapse in the programming provided by NACTEP grantees to students. Changes: None. Background NACTEP, as authorized by section 116(a) through (g) of the Perkins Act, supports grants to federally recognized Indian tribes, tribal organizations, Alaska Native entities and eligible Bureau of Indian Education-funded schools to improve career and technical education programs that benefit Native Americans and Alaskan Natives. On February 26, 2013, we published in the Federal Register (78 FR 13030) a notice inviting applications for NACTEP E:\FR\FM\06JYN1.SGM 06JYN1
