Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 115 / Monday, June 15, 2020 / Notices
which the Assistant Secretary for
Career, Technical, and Adult Education
(Assistant Secretary) has administrative
authority the authority to grant waivers
under the section 3511 of the CARES
Act. On May 15, 2020, the Office of
Career, Technical, and Adult Education
(OCTAE) published a notice in the
Federal Register (85 FR 29440)
announcing 41 waivers that were
granted to SEAs. Twenty-eight of those
waivers were for State grants authorized
by Title I of the Carl D. Perkins Career
and Technical Education Act of 2006
(Perkins), and 13 of those waivers were
for State grants authorized by Title II of
the Workforce Innovation and

Education and Family Literacy Act
(AEFLA)).
In the last 30 days, OCTAE granted
six waivers to SEAs.

I. Extensions of the Obligation Period
A. Three waivers were granted to
SEAs for State grants authorized by Title
I of Perkins, and three waivers were
granted to SEAs for State grants
authorized by Title II of WIOA (AEFLA).
1. Provision waived: Tydings
Amendment, section 421(b) of GEPA (20
U.S.C. 1225(b)).1
Reasons: These waivers were granted
under section 421(b) of GEPA to extend
the period of availability of FY 2018
funds until September 30, 2021,
pursuant to the 2018 Consolidated
Appropriations Act (GEPA section
421(b) waivers). It is not possible to
obligate funds on a timely basis, as
originally planned, due to extensive
school and program disruptions in the
States. These disruptions are in
response to extraordinary circumstances
for which a national emergency related
to the COVID–19 pandemic has been
duly declared by the President of the
United States under section 501(b) of
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act, 42
U.S.C. 5121–5207, and will protect the
health and safety of students, staff, and
our communities.
Waiver Applicants: The SEA GEPA
section 421(b) waiver applicants
provided assurance that the SEA will:
(1) Use, and ensure that its subgrantees
will use, funds under the respective
1 Section 3511(b) of the CARES Act only
authorizes the Secretary to grant waivers requested
by SEAs of the Tydings Amendment, section 421(b)
of GEPA, to extend the period of availability of
State formula grant funds authorized by Perkins and
AEFLA. The Department currently does not have
the authority to grant a waiver of the Tydings
Amendment with respect to Perkins or AEFLA to
States in which the SEA is not the grantee for these
State-administered programs.

programs in accordance with the
provisions of all applicable statutes,
regulations, program plans, and
applications not subject to these
waivers; (2) work to mitigate, and
ensure that its subgrantees will work to
mitigate, any negative effects that may
occur as a result of the requested
waiver; and (3) provide the public and
all subgrantees in the State with notice
of, and the opportunity to comment on,
this request by posting information
regarding the waiver request and the
process for commenting on the State
website.
The Assistant Secretary reviewed the
SEAs’ requests for a GEPA section
421(b) waiver and determined that the
following SEAs met the requirements
for a GEPA section 421(b) waiver on the
dates indicated below:
(1) State grants authorized by Title I
of Perkins:
• California Board of Education, May
18, 2020;
• Maryland State Department of
Education, June 4, 2020; and
• Wyoming Board of Education, May
21, 2020.
