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 semiannual and annual
performance reports that provide 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
additional funding for data collection
and reporting. In this case, the Secretary
establishes a data collection period.
5. Performance Measures: The
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993 (GPRA) directs Federal
departments and agencies to improve
the effectiveness of their programs by
engaging in strategic planning, setting
outcome-related goals for programs, and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
measuring program results against those
goals.
For the purposes of GPRA and
Department reporting under 34 CFR
75.110, we have established the
following performance measures for this
program:
(a) Of the individuals participating in
the project, their average hourly wage at
the time they exit in CIE.
(b) Of the individuals participating in
the project, their average hours worked
per week at the time they exit in CIE.
(c) Of the individuals participating in
the project, the number and percentage
who exit in CIE with employer-provided
medical benefits.
(d) Of the individuals participating in
the project, the number and percentage
who report their income as the primary
source of support at the time they exit
in CIE.
(e) Of the individuals participating in
the project, the number and percentage
who report public benefits (e.g., SSI,
SSDI, and/or TANF, and State or local
benefits) as their primary source of
support at the time they exit in CIE.
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
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).

promulgated pursuant to those sections (34 CFR 674.61(b), 682.402(c),
685.213, and 686.42(b)), and subsection (b)(3) of the Privacy Act (5
U.S.C. 552a(b)(3)).
SSA's legal authority to disclose information as part of this
matching program is section 1106 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
1306), the regulations promulgated pursuant to that section (20 CFR
part 401), and subsection (b)(3) of the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C.

Purpose(S): This matching program will enable the Department to
contact the individuals who have a balance on a loan under title IV of
the HEA, have a title IV loan written off due to default, or have an
outstanding service obligation under the TEACH Grant Program to inform
those borrowers and TEACH Grant recipients of the TPD process. Once
informed, those borrowers who wish to apply for a discharge may do so
more efficiently and effectively.
Categories of Individuals: The individuals whose records are used
in the matching program are described as follows:
The Department will disclose to SSA from the system of records
entitled ``National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS)'' (18-11-06)
individuals who owe a balance on one or more title IV, HEA loans, who
have a title IV, HEA loan written off due to default, or who have an
outstanding service obligation under the TEACH Grant Program.
Categories of Records: The records used in the matching program are
described as follows:
The Department will disclose to SSA from the system of records
entitled ``National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS)'' (18-11-06) the
name, date of birth (DOB), and Social Security number (SSN) of the
individuals identified in the preceeding section. These individuals
will be matched with SSA data recorded in the DCF, which originate from
the Supplemental Security Income Record and Special Veterans Benefits
(SSR/SVB), 60-0103, and the MBR, SSA/ORSIS 60-0090, in order to provide
ED with Medical Improvement Not Expected disability data.
System(s) of Records: The Department will disclose records to SSA
from its system of records identified as ``National Student Loan Data
System (NSLDS)'' (18-11-06), as last published in the Federal Register
in full on September 9, 2019 (84 FR 47265).
SSA will disclose records back to the Department from its systems
of records identified as the ``Disability Control File (DCF)'' and the
``Master Beneficiary Record (MBR).'' The DCF, which originates from the
SSR/SVB, 60-0103, was last fully published in the Federal Register at

69723), July 3, 2018 (83 FR 31250-31251), and November 1, 2018 (83 FR
54969). The MBR, 60-0090, was last fully published in the Federal

Subsection (b)(3) of the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3))
authorizes a Federal agency to disclose a record about an individual
that is maintained in a system of records, without the individual's
prior written consent, when the disclosure is pursuant to a routine use
published in a System of Records Notice (SORN) as required by 5 U.S.C.
552a(e)(4)(D) and is compatible with the purposes for which the records
were collected. SSA and ED determined that their systems of records
contain appropriate routine use disclosure authority and that the use
is compatible with the purpose for which the information was collected.
