Final Priority; National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research-Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training Program
The Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative Services announces a priority for the Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) program under the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program administered by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). The Assistant Secretary may use this priority for competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2013 and later years. We take this action to ensure that NIDRR's resources are appropriately allocated across the three outcome domainscommunity living and participation, employment, and health and function. We intend this priority to (1) strengthen the capacity of the disability and rehabilitation field to train qualified individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to conduct high- quality, advanced multidisciplinary rehabilitation research; and (2) improve outcomes for individuals with disabilities across the domains of community living and participation, employment, and health and function.

American Indian Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program; Proposed Waivers and Extensions of the Project Periods
These proposed waivers and extensions of project periods would affect two sets of grantees under the American Indian Vocational Rehabilitation Services (AIVRS) Program in the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA): eight grantees with 60-month projects initially funded in fiscal year (FY) 2007 (72 FR 11851) and twenty-four grantees with 60-month projects initially funded in FY 2008 (73 FR 6491). For FY 2013, 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 proposes these actions in order to extend the 60-month projects for the grants initially funded in FY 2007 for a seventh year, and the grants initially funded in FY 2008 for a sixth year. The 32 AIVRS grants would be extended through September 30, 2014. The proposed waivers and extensions would enable the 32 grantees to request funds and continue to receive Federal funding beyond September 30, 2013, when the project period ends. The grantees must meet all of the AIVRS program and other applicable requirements while receiving funds under this program. Further, if the proposed waivers and extensions are made final, RSA would not announce a new competition in FY 2013 or make new awards in FY 2013.
