This notice sets forth the schedule and proposed agenda item for the upcoming teleconference meeting of the NACIQI, which is scheduled for Friday, April 13, 2012, and provides information for members of the public wishing to submit written comments, attend the meeting, and/or make oral comments during the meeting.

For 60-month projects funded in fiscal year (FY) 2007 under the Tribally Controlled Postsecondary Career and Technical Institutions Program (TCPCTIP), the Secretary proposes to waive the regulations that generally limit project periods to 60 months and that restrict project period extensions involving the obligation of additional Federal funds. The Secretary also proposes to extend the project period for current TCPCTIP grantees through FY 2013, or longer, if Congress continues to appropriate funds under the existing program authority. The proposed waivers and extension would enable the two current TCPCTIP grantees to request and continue to receive Federal funding beyond the 60-month limitation contained in the Department's regulations, so long as the grantees are meeting the TCPCTIP requirements. Further, the waivers and extension, as proposed, would mean that we would not announce a new competition in FY 2012 or make new awards in that year, or in future years, if Congress continues to appropriate funds under the existing program authority.
