Department of Education December 8, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On November 8, 2005, we published in the Federal Register (70 FR 67675) a notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2006 for the Training and Information for Parents of Children with DisabilitiesParent Training and Information Centers competition. The notice contained incomplete funding information and did not include Nebraska among the States for which the Department will accept applications for a 5-year award to establish a parent training and information center (PTI Center). To create a unified system of service delivery, and provide the broadest coverage for the parents and families in every State, the Department makes awards in five-year cycles to each State. Nebraska should have been included in the list of States for which the Department intends to fund one PTI Center to serve the entire State in FY 2006. On page 67675, third column, and page 67677, first column, the following corrections are necessary: (1) Under Estimated Available Funds, the estimated funding amount for the Parent Training and Information Centers competition is corrected to read ``$5,417,915''; (2) the Estimated Average Size of Awards is corrected to read ``$285,153''; and (3) the Estimated Number of Awards is corrected to read ``19''. In addition, on page 67677, second column, the second and fourth paragraphs are corrected to include Nebraska in (1) the list of States for which we will be accepting applications for 5-year awards, and (2) the list of States for which one award may be made to a qualified applicant for a PTI Center to serve the entire State. The chart on page 67677, third column, is also corrected to include Nebraska with a maximum funding amount of $230,625.
