Background
We are proposing to extend 33
projects under three programs in order
to align and coordinate all OSERSfunded training and technical assistance
(TA) services focused on transition-age
children and youth with disabilities and
their families. The waivers and
extensions would allow OSERS to align
and coordinate, and improve the
efficiency and cost-effectiveness of,
direct training and technical assistance
services focused on transition-age
children and youth with disabilities and
their families. In addition, the
Department will consider approaches
for improving coordination among
programs that provide these services to
more efficiently and effectively meet the
needs of States, service providers, youth
with disabilities, and families and to
allow for efficient use of the funding
available to support these activities.
The projects that provide transitionage TA services (and other TA services
for individuals with disabilities and
their families) are:
The National Technical Assistance
Center on Improving Transition to
Postsecondary Education and
Employment for Students With
Disabilities (NTACT) (CFDA 84.326E)
In September 2014, OSEP and RSA
jointly made a 60-month award to the
University of North Carolina at
Charlotte to establish and operate the
National Technical Assistance Center on
Improving Transition to Postsecondary
Education and Employment for
Students with Disabilities. NTACT was
funded under the TA and Dissemination
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
Program as authorized under sections
663 and 681(d) of the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), 20
U.S.C. 1463 and 1481(d), and section
303(b) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,
as amended by the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act
(Rehabilitation Act), 29 U.S.C 793(b).
The current project period ends on
December 31, 2019.
The purpose of the NTACT is to
provide TA to State educational
agencies (SEAs), local education
agencies (LEAs), State vocational
rehabilitation agencies (SVRAs), and
other vocational rehabilitation (VR)
service providers to implement
evidence-based and promising practices
and strategies to ensure that students
with disabilities, including those with
significant disabilities, graduate from
high school with the knowledge, skills,
and supports needed for success in
postsecondary education and
employment.
Specifically, NTACT has five primary
goals aligned with OSEP and RSA
priorities:
1. Youth and young adults with
disabilities receive and participate in
evidence-based and promising practices
in secondary transition services and
supports.
2. SEAs and LEAs implement
evidence-based and promising practices
and strategies, including early warning
and intervention systems to reduce
dropout and increase graduation rates.
3. Students with disabilities
participate in career-related curricula so
they are prepared for postsecondary
employment and careers.
4. Students with disabilities receive
rigorous academic preparation so they
are prepared for success in
postsecondary education.
5. SEAs, SVRAs, LEAs, and local VR
offices use data-driven decision making
to develop their respective plans and
reports.
OSEP-Funded Parent Training and

RSA-Funded Parent Information and
Training Centers (CFDA 84.235F)
In September 2014, RSA made seven
60-month awards to the following
entities to operate RSA-funded Parent
Information and Training Centers (PTIs):
VA
WA
WV
WY
In June 2016, OSEP made a 36-month
award to Learning Disabilities
Associates of Hawaii to operate a PTI to
serve the outlying areas and freely
associated States in the Pacific
(American Samoa, the Federated States
of Micronesia, Guam, the Republic of
the Marshall Islands, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, and the Republic of Palau).
All 24 of the OSEP-funded PTIs are
funded under the Training and
Information for Parents of Children with
Disabilities program as authorized
under section 671 and 681(d) of IDEA,
20 U.S.C. 1463, and all current project
periods end on September 30, 2019.
The purpose of the OSEP-funded PTIs
is to provide services designed to meet
the information and training needs of
parents of children with disabilities,
and transition-age youth with
disabilities. The OSEP-funded PTIs
were funded to help youth become
effective self-advocates and provide
parents with information, individual
assistance, and training to enable them
to: (a) Ensure that their children are
included in general education
classrooms and extracurricular activities
with their peers; (b) help their children
meet developmental and academic
goals; (c) help their children meet
challenging expectations established for
all children, including college- and
career-ready academic standards; and
(d) prepare their children to achieve
positive postsecondary outcomes that
lead to lives that are as productive and
independent as possible.

Specifically, the OSEP-funded PTIs
(a) inform parents of children with
disabilities and youth with disabilities
of how they can benefit from the
services provided by the PTI; (b)
provide high-quality services that
increase parents’ capacity to help their
children with disabilities improve their
early learning, school-aged, and
postsecondary outcomes and increase
youth’s capacity to be effective selfadvocates; and (c) work in partnership
with any Community Parent Resource
Centers (CPRCs) and any other PTIs
funded in the State under sections 672
and 671 of IDEA, respectively, and
local, State, and national organizations
and agencies, such as protection and
advocacy agencies and VR agencies, that
serve children and youth with
disabilities and their families.

These RSA-funded PTIs are funded
under the Parent Information and
Training Program as authorized under
section 303(c) of the Rehabilitation Act.
The current project periods end on
September 30, 2019.
These RSA-funded PTIs are designed
to meet the unique training and
information needs of those individuals
who live in the areas to be served,
particularly those who are members of
populations that have been unserved or
underserved by programs under the
Rehabilitation Act. The RSA-funded
PTIs are geographically distributed to
the extent possible throughout the
country. The RSA-funded PTIs
coordinate and work closely with the
OSEP-funded PTIs and with the centers
for independent living.
The RSA-funded PTIs provide
information and training to individuals
with disabilities and their parents,
family members, guardians, advocates,
and other authorized representatives.
Specifically, the RSA-funded PTIs help
individuals with disabilities and their
families to: (a) Better understand VR
and independent living programs and

Frm 00033

services; (b) provide follow-up support
for transition services and employment
programs; (c) communicate effectively
with transition and rehabilitation
personnel and other relevant
professionals; (d) provide support in the
development of individualized plans for
employment; (e) provide support and
expertise in obtaining information about
rehabilitation and independent living
programs, services, and resources that
are appropriate; and (f) understand the
provisions of the Rehabilitation Act,
particularly provisions relating to
employment, supported employment,
and independent living.
National Technical Assistance for
Parent Information and Training
Centers (84.235G)
In September 2014, RSA made one 60month award to the Statewide Parent
Advocacy Network (SPAN), New Jersey
to establish and operate the national PTI
TA center. The center is funded under
the Parent Information and Training
Program as authorized by section 303(c)
of the Rehabilitation Act. The current
project period ends on September 30,
2019.
The purpose of the national PTI TA
Center is to ensure that the seven Statelevel PTI centers funded by RSA are
providing consistent information and
training to assist individuals with
disabilities and their families, including
youth with disabilities who are of
transition age, achieve their
employment and independent living
goals.
The national PTI TA Center also
disseminates information on promising
and evidence-based practices that lead
to high-quality employment outcomes
and independent living for individuals
with disabilities; shares strategies for
communicating effectively with
individuals from culturally, ethnically,
and linguistically diverse backgrounds;
and coordinates the seven State-level
PTI centers funded by RSA and the PTI
centers funded by OSEP in
disseminating information and training
materials on transition services, VR,
supported employment, independent
living, and career development.
Waivers and Extensions
We do not believe that it would be in
the public interest to run competitions
for these programs in FY 2019, because
the Department is reviewing the
alignment of its training and TA
services focused on transition from high
school to college, careers, and adult
services for children and youth with
disabilities and their families. During
the remainder of FY 2019 the
Department will consider approaches
E:\FR\FM\07JNP1.SGM

26626
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 110 / Friday, June 7, 2019 / Proposed Rules
for improving coordination among
programs that provide these services to
more efficiently and effectively meet the
needs of States, service providers, youth
with disabilities, and their families and
to allow for more efficient use of the
funding available to support these
activities.
The Department has also concluded
that it would not be in the public
interest to have a lapse in the critically
needed resources currently provided by
34 CFR 75.250, which prohibit project
periods exceeding five years, and 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 would allow
the Department to issue one-time FY
2019 continuation awards to the
projects originally funded in FY 2014
and 2016, estimated as follows.

these programs. Allowing funding to
lapse before the Department establishes
a new, coordinated strategy for training
and TA services would leave youth and
families without access to critical
services and assistance that ensure that
students with disabilities, including
those with significant disabilities,
transition from K–12 prepared for
postsecondary success.
For these reasons, the Secretary
proposes to waive the requirements in
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
The Secretary 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 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.

Reconsideration of the Area
Designation for the 2010 1-Hour Sulfur
Dioxide (SO2) Primary National
Ambient Air Quality Standard for
Williamson County, Illinois
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to reconsider
the nonattainment designation under
the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the
Williamson County, Illinois area for the
2010 1-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2)
primary national ambient air quality
standard (NAAQS). On June 30, 2016,
the EPA Administrator signed a final
action that designated the Williamson
County, Illinois area as nonattainment
based on a review of available
information. On September 12, 2016,
Southern Illinois Power Cooperative
(SIPC), the owner of the largest source
of SO2 emissions in the area (the Marion
Power Station), submitted to the EPA an
updated modeling analysis that
characterized SO2 air quality in the area
at the time of the final designation
action. The EPA has reviewed that
modeling and concludes the available
information demonstrates that, as of the
date of the Administrator’s signature on
the final action, the Williamson County,
Illinois area was not violating the 2010
1-hour SO2 NAAQS and was not
contributing to a NAAQS violation in a

Background
We are proposing to extend 33 projects under three programs in
order to align and coordinate all OSERS-funded training and technical
assistance (TA) services focused on transition-age children and youth
with disabilities and their families. The waivers and extensions would
allow OSERS to align and coordinate, and improve the efficiency and
cost-effectiveness of, direct training and technical assistance
services focused on transition-age children and youth with disabilities
and their families. In addition, the Department will consider
approaches for improving coordination among programs that provide these
services to more efficiently and effectively meet the needs of States,
service providers, youth with disabilities, and families and to allow
for efficient use of the funding available to support these activities.
The projects that provide transition-age TA services (and other TA
services for individuals with disabilities and their families) are:
The National Technical Assistance Center on Improving Transition to
Postsecondary Education and Employment for Students With Disabilities
(NTACT) (CFDA 84.326E)
In September 2014, OSEP and RSA jointly made a 60-month award to
the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to establish and operate
the National Technical Assistance Center on Improving Transition to
Postsecondary Education and Employment for Students with Disabilities.
NTACT was funded under the TA and Dissemination Program as authorized
under sections 663 and 681(d) of the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA), 20 U.S.C. 1463 and 1481(d), and section 303(b) of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by the Workforce Innovation
and Opportunity Act (Rehabilitation Act), 29 U.S.C 793(b). The current
project period ends on December 31, 2019.
The purpose of the NTACT is to provide TA to State educational
agencies (SEAs), local education agencies (LEAs), State vocational
rehabilitation agencies (SVRAs), and other vocational rehabilitation
(VR) service providers to implement evidence-based and promising
practices and strategies to ensure that students with disabilities,
including those with significant disabilities, graduate from high
school with the knowledge, skills, and supports needed for success in
postsecondary education and employment.
Specifically, NTACT has five primary goals aligned with OSEP and
RSA priorities:
1. Youth and young adults with disabilities receive and participate
in evidence-based and promising practices in secondary transition
services and supports.
2. SEAs and LEAs implement evidence-based and promising practices
and strategies, including early warning and intervention systems to
reduce dropout and increase graduation rates.
3. Students with disabilities participate in career-related
curricula so they are prepared for postsecondary employment and
careers.
4. Students with disabilities receive rigorous academic preparation
so they are prepared for success in postsecondary education.
5. SEAs, SVRAs, LEAs, and local VR offices use data-driven decision
making to develop their respective plans and reports.
OSEP-Funded Parent Training and Information Centers (CFDA 84.328M)
In September 2014, OSEP made twenty-three 60-month awards to the
following entities to operate Parent Training and Information Centers
(PTIs):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
In June 2016, OSEP made a 36-month award to Learning Disabilities
Associates of Hawaii to operate a PTI to serve the outlying areas and
freely associated States in the Pacific (American Samoa, the Federated
States of Micronesia, Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Republic of
Palau).
All 24 of the OSEP-funded PTIs are funded under the Training and
Information for Parents of Children with Disabilities program as
authorized under section 671 and 681(d) of IDEA, 20 U.S.C. 1463, and
all current project periods end on September 30, 2019.
The purpose of the OSEP-funded PTIs is to provide services designed
to meet the information and training needs of parents of children with
disabilities, and transition-age youth with disabilities. The OSEP-
funded PTIs were funded to help youth become effective self-advocates
and provide parents with information, individual assistance, and
training to enable them to: (a) Ensure that their children are included
in general education classrooms and extracurricular activities with
their peers; (b) help their children meet developmental and academic
goals; (c) help their children meet challenging expectations
established for all children, including college- and career-ready
academic standards; and (d) prepare their children to achieve positive
postsecondary outcomes that lead to lives that are as productive and
independent as possible.
Specifically, the OSEP-funded PTIs (a) inform parents of children
with disabilities and youth with disabilities of how they can benefit
from the services provided by the PTI; (b) provide high-quality
services that increase parents' capacity to help their children with
disabilities improve their early learning, school-aged, and
postsecondary outcomes and increase youth's capacity to be effective
self-advocates; and (c) work in partnership with any Community Parent
Resource Centers (CPRCs) and any other PTIs funded in the State under
sections 672 and 671 of IDEA, respectively, and local, State, and
national organizations and agencies, such as protection and advocacy
agencies and VR agencies, that serve children and youth with
disabilities and their families.
RSA-Funded Parent Information and Training Centers (CFDA 84.235F)
In September 2014, RSA made seven 60-month awards to the following
entities to operate RSA-funded Parent Information and Training Centers
(PTIs):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Center State
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PEAK Parent Center........................... CO.
Statewide Parent Advocacy Network............ NJ.
Open Doors for Multicultural Families........ WA.
Federation for Children with Special Needs, MA.
Inc.
Resources for Children with Special Needs, NY.
Inc.
PACER Center Inc............................. MN.
Missouri Parents Act MPACT................... MO.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
These RSA-funded PTIs are funded under the Parent Information and
Training Program as authorized under section 303(c) of the
Rehabilitation Act. The current project periods end on September 30,
2019.
These RSA-funded PTIs are designed to meet the unique training and
information needs of those individuals who live in the areas to be
served, particularly those who are members of populations that have
been unserved or underserved by programs under the Rehabilitation Act.
The RSA-funded PTIs are geographically distributed to the extent
possible throughout the country. The RSA-funded PTIs coordinate and
work closely with the OSEP-funded PTIs and with the centers for
independent living.
The RSA-funded PTIs provide information and training to individuals
with disabilities and their parents, family members, guardians,
advocates, and other authorized representatives. Specifically, the RSA-
funded PTIs help individuals with disabilities and their families to:
(a) Better understand VR and independent living programs and services;
(b) provide follow-up support for transition services and employment
programs; (c) communicate effectively with transition and
rehabilitation personnel and other relevant professionals; (d) provide
support in the development of individualized plans for employment; (e)
provide support and expertise in obtaining information about
rehabilitation and independent living programs, services, and resources
that are appropriate; and (f) understand the provisions of the
Rehabilitation Act, particularly provisions relating to employment,
supported employment, and independent living.
National Technical Assistance for Parent Information and Training
Centers (84.235G)
In September 2014, RSA made one 60-month award to the Statewide
Parent Advocacy Network (SPAN), New Jersey to establish and operate the
national PTI TA center. The center is funded under the Parent
Information and Training Program as authorized by section 303(c) of the
Rehabilitation Act. The current project period ends on September 30,
2019.
The purpose of the national PTI TA Center is to ensure that the
seven State-level PTI centers funded by RSA are providing consistent
information and training to assist individuals with disabilities and
their families, including youth with disabilities who are of transition
age, achieve their employment and independent living goals.
The national PTI TA Center also disseminates information on
promising and evidence-based practices that lead to high-quality
employment outcomes and independent living for individuals with
disabilities; shares strategies for communicating effectively with
individuals from culturally, ethnically, and linguistically diverse
backgrounds; and coordinates the seven State-level PTI centers funded
by RSA and the PTI centers funded by OSEP in disseminating information
and training materials on transition services, VR, supported
employment, independent living, and career development.
Waivers and Extensions
We do not believe that it would be in the public interest to run
competitions for these programs in FY 2019, because the Department is
reviewing the alignment of its training and TA services focused on
transition from high school to college, careers, and adult services for
children and youth with disabilities and their families. During the
remainder of FY 2019 the Department will consider approaches
[[Page 26626]]
for improving coordination among programs that provide these services
to more efficiently and effectively meet the needs of States, service
providers, youth with disabilities, and their families and to allow for
more efficient use of the funding available to support these
activities.
The Department has also concluded that it would not be in the
public interest to have a lapse in the critically needed resources
currently provided by these programs. Allowing funding to lapse before
the Department establishes a new, coordinated strategy for training and
TA services would leave youth and families without access to critical
services and assistance that ensure that students with disabilities,
including those with significant disabilities, transition from K-12
prepared for postsecondary success.
For these reasons, the Secretary proposes to waive the requirements
in 34 CFR 75.250, which prohibit project periods exceeding five years,
and 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 would allow the
Department to issue one-time FY 2019 continuation awards to the
projects originally funded in FY 2014 and 2016, estimated as follows.

Any activities carried out during the year of this continuation
award must be consistent with the scope, goals, and objectives of the
grantees' applications as approved in either the 2014 or 2016
competitions. The requirements for continuation awards are set forth in
34 CFR 75.253.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
The Secretary 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 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.

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.
