Department of Education April 15, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative Services proposes two priorities for the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) Program administered by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). Specifically, this notice proposes priorities for an RRTC on Transition to Employment for Youth and Young Adults with Serious Mental Health Conditions and Community Living and Participation of Youth and Young Adults with Serious Mental Health Conditions. This RRTC will be jointly funded by NIDRR and the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). We take this action to focus research attention on an area of national need. We intend these priorities to contribute to improved outcomes in the transition to employment and in community living and participation of youth and young adults with serious mental health conditions and psychiatric disabilities.

On March 24, 2014, the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) published in the Federal Register (79 FR 15975) a notice inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2014 for the AP Test Fee program that included a summary of exam costs with an incorrect amount for the exams administered by the International Baccalaureate Organization. This notice corrects the maximum amount the Department would pay an SEA towards the costs of the exams administered by the International Baccalaureate Organization.
