If your application is not evaluated or
not selected for funding, we notify you.
2. Administrative and National Policy
Requirements: We identify
administrative and national policy
requirements in the application package
and reference these and other
requirements in the Applicable
Regulations section of this notice.
We reference the regulations outlining
the terms and conditions of an award in
the Applicable Regulations section of
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. Open Licensing Requirements:
Unless an exception applies, if you are
awarded a grant under this competition,
you will be required to openly license
to the public grant deliverables created
in whole, or in part, with Department
grant funds. When the deliverable
consists of modifications to pre-existing
works, the license extends only to those
modifications that can be separately
identified and only to the extent that
open licensing is permitted under the
terms of any licenses or other legal
restrictions on the use of pre-existing
works. Additionally, a grantee or
subgrantee that is awarded competitive
grant funds must have a plan to
disseminate these public grant
deliverables. This dissemination plan
can be developed and submitted after
your application has been reviewed and
selected for funding. For additional
information on the open licensing
requirements please refer to 2 CFR
3474.20.
4. 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 multiyear 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.
(c) Under 34 CFR 75.250(b), the
Secretary may provide a grantee with
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
additional funding for data collection
analysis and reporting. In this case the
Secretary establishes a data collection
period.
Note: In addition, under 34 CFR 75.591, all
TSL grantees must cooperate in any
evaluation of the program conducted by the
Department.
5. Performance Measures: The goal of
TSL is to support educators, particularly
those in High-Need Schools, to raise
student academic achievement and
close the achievement gap between
high- and low-performing students. We
have established performance measures
for this program: (a) The percentage of
educators in all schools who earned
performance-based compensation; (b)
the percentage of educators in all HighNeed Schools who earned performancebased compensation; (c) the gap
between the retention rate of educators
receiving performance-based
compensation and the average retention
rate of educators in each High-Need
Schools whose educators participate in
the project; (d) the number of school
districts participating in a TSL grant
that use educator evaluation and
support systems to inform the following
human capital decisions: recruitment;
hiring; placement; retention; dismissal;
professional development; tenure;
promotion; or all of the above; (e) the
number of High-Need Schools within
districts participating in a TSL grant
that use educator evaluation and
support systems to inform the following
human capital decisions: recruitment;
hiring; placement; retention; dismissal;
professional development; tenure;
promotion; or all of the above; (f) the
percentage of performance-based
compensation paid to educators with
State, local, or other non-TIF Federal
resources; (g) the percentage of teachers
and principals who receive the highest
effectiveness rating; and (8) the
percentage of teachers and principals in
High-Need Schools who receive the
highest effectiveness rating.
6. 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 award, the
Secretary also considers whether the
grantee is operating in compliance with
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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).

MAP–21 included two changes to the
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan
(Direct Loan) Program. Specifically,
MAP–21 amended section 455 of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as
amended (HEA) to extend the 3.4
percent fixed interest rate that applies to
Direct Subsidized Loans made to
undergraduate students to loans for
which the first disbursement is made
before July 1, 2013. Second, the law
placed a limit on Direct Subsidized
Loan eligibility for new borrowers on or
after July 1, 2013. Specifically, a new
borrower on or after July 1, 2013 is no
longer eligible to receive additional
Direct Subsidized Loans if the period
during which the borrower has received
such loans exceeds 150 percent of the
published length of the borrower’s
educational program. Additionally, the
borrower becomes responsible for
accruing interest on any Direct
Subsidized Loan made to the borrower
on or after July 1, 2013 if he or she is
enrolled after reaching this 150 percent
limit. The Department of Education (the
Department) is requesting an extension
of the current information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The CLSD
program awards competitive grants to
advance literacy skills, through the use
of evidence-based (as defined in this
notice) practices, activities, and
interventions, including pre-literacy
skills, reading, and writing, for children
from birth through grade 12, with an
emphasis on disadvantaged children,
including children living in poverty,
English learners (as defined in this
notice), and children with disabilities
(as defined in this notice).
Background: The FY 2020
competition for new CLSD awards
focuses on the requirements in the
statute. In addition, we have included
three competitive preference priorities
that highlight key policies for States on
which to focus their literacy plans or
encourage eligible subgrant applicants
to focus their local literacy plans.
First, we give competitive preference
to applications from new potential
grantees to diversify the applicant pool
and even the playing field for applicants
with varying levels of experience. For
the purpose of this priority, we give
preference to grantees that have not had
an active grant in the past five years
under the CLSD program, or the Striving
Readers Comprehensive Literacy
Program (SRCL), as the CLSD program
was called prior to the passage of the
Every Student Succeeds Act (i.e.,
applicants that did not have an active
grant under SRCL or CLSD as of five
years before the deadline date for
submission of applications under the
program).
Second, we give competitive
preference to applications that would
