this notice and include these and other
specific conditions in the GAN. The
GAN also incorporates your approved
application as part of your binding
commitments under the grant.
3. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a
grant under this competition, you must
ensure that you have in place the
necessary processes and systems to
comply with the reporting requirements
in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive
funding under the competition. This
does not apply if you have an exception
under 2 CFR 170.110(b).
(b) At the end of your project period,
you must submit a final performance
report including financial information,
as directed by the Secretary. If you
receive a multi-year award, you must
submit an annual performance report
that provides the most current
performance and financial expenditure
information as directed by the Secretary
under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary
may also require more frequent
performance reports under 34 CFR
75.720(c). For specific requirements on
reporting, please go to www.ed.gov/
fund/grant/apply/appforms/
appforms.html.
4. Performance Measures: The
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993 (GPRA) directs Federal
departments and agencies to improve
the effectiveness of programs by
engaging in strategic planning, setting
outcome-related goals for programs, and
measuring program results against those
goals.
The purpose of this priority is to
demonstrate promising practices in the
use of career pathways to help VReligible individuals with disabilities,
including youth with disabilities, to
acquire marketable skills and
recognized postsecondary credentials
necessary to secure competitive
integrated employment in high-demand,
high-quality occupations, as measured
by the following project outcomes, at a
minimum: (a) Increase the number of
distinct career pathways accessed or
created by the participating State VR
agency(ies) for eligible individuals
seeking competitive integrated
employment in related occupational
clusters; (b) Increase the number and
percentage of VR-eligible individuals
who achieve competitive integrated
employment within each of the project’s
career pathways; and (c) Increase the
average weekly wage and employer

benefits of VR-eligible individuals
participating in each of the project’s
career pathways, as compared to those
of non-participating eligible individuals.
Grantees’ progress in achieving these
performance measures will be evaluated
based on the careful review of their
annual financial and performance
reports.
5. Continuation Awards: In making a
continuation award under 34 CFR
75.253, the Secretary considers, among
other things: Whether a grantee has
made substantial progress in achieving
the goals and objectives of the project;
whether the grantee has expended funds
in a manner that is consistent with its
approved application and budget; and,
if the Secretary has established
performance measurement
requirements, the performance targets in
the grantee’s approved application. In
making a continuation grant, the
Secretary also considers whether the
grantee is operating in compliance with
the assurances in its approved
application, including those applicable
to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit
discrimination in programs or activities
receiving Federal financial assistance
from the Department (34 CFR 100.4,
104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

(Application), filed on April 15, 2015,
by Texas LNG Brownsville LLC (Texas
LNG), requesting long-term, multicontract authorization to export
domestically produced liquefied natural
gas (LNG) in a volume equivalent to
approximately 0.55 billion cubic feet
per year (Bcf/d) of natural gas (200.75
Bcf per year (Bcf/yr)). On May 22, 2015,

the Application, increasing the
requested export volume to 0.56 Bcf/d
of natural gas (204.4 Bcf/yr), which it
states is equivalent to 4 million metric

any country with which the United
States does not have a free trade
agreement (FTA) requiring national
treatment for trade in natural gas, and
with which trade is not prohibited by

years from the date the authorization is

previously issued Order No. 3443 to Texas LNG,
authorizing it to export LNG in a volume equivalent
to 100 Bcf/yr of natural gas (0.27 Bcf/d) to FTA

Application, Texas LNG states that ‘‘[the] FTA
authorization and non-FTA application in Docket
No. 13–160–LNG shall remain in effect until the
DOE/FE acts on the authorized requested in this
new docket, at which time Texas LNG LLC shall
request that Docket No. 13–160–LNG be novated.’’
Id. Additionally, in the current Application, Texas
LNG requests authorization to export LNG to any
nation that currently has, or in the future may enter
into, a FTA requiring national treatment for trade
in natural gas, and with which trade is not
prohibited by U.S. law or policy (FTA countries).
DOE/FE will review that request for a FTA export
authorization separately pursuant to NGA § 3(c), 15
U.S.C. 717b(c).
