Department of Education April 28, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

For 36-month projects funded in fiscal year (FY) 2011 under the Training and Advisory ServicesEquity Assistance Centers (EACs) program, the Secretary proposes to waive the requirements in 34 CFR 75.261(c)(2), which prohibits the extension of project periods involving the obligation of additional Federal funds. The Secretary also proposes to extend the project period of these grants for up to an additional 24 months. This would enable the 10 current EAC grantees to continue to receive Federal funding annually for project periods through FY 2015 and possibly through FY 2016. Further, the waiver and extension, as proposed, would mean that we would not announce a new competition or make new awards in FY 2014. We intend to announce a new competition in either FY 2015 or FY 2016.
