Department of Education March 13, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On January 19, 2006, we published in the Federal Register (71 FR 3062) a notice inviting applications for the AP Test Fee FY 2006 competition. The original notice for this FY 2006 competition established a February 21, 2006 deadline date for eligible applicants to apply for funding under this program. In order to afford as many eligible applicants as possible an opportunity to receive funding under this program, we are reopening the AP Test Fee FY 2006 competition. The new application deadline date for the competition is April 12, 2006.

Under the Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) Program, the Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education awards grants on a formula basis to eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) to address the unique needs of rural school districts. In this notice, we establish the deadline for submission of fiscal year (FY) 2006 SRSA grant applications. If an eligible LEA submitted an application for SRSA grant funds in a prior year, it is considered to have met the application requirement based on its previously submitted application and does not have to submit a new application to the Department to receive its FY 2006 SRSA grant award. An eligible LEA that is required to submit an application (in other words, an LEA that did not submit an application in a prior year) must do so by the deadline in this notice in order to receive its grant award by September 30, 2006. An eligible LEA that is required to submit an application and does not do so by the deadline in this notice might not receive its grant award until after September 30, 2006. Application Deadline: June 2, 2006, 4:30 p.m. Eastern time.
