Department of Education July 31, 2017 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Final Waiver and Extension of the Project Period; National Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Technical Assistance Center on Early Childhood Longitudinal Data Systems
Document Number: 2017-16068
Type: Rule
Date: 2017-07-31
Agency: Department of Education
The Secretary waives the requirements that generally prohibit project periods exceeding five years and project period extensions involving the obligation of additional Federal funds. This action enables the National IDEA Technical Assistance Center on Early Childhood Longitudinal Data Systems (Center), currently funded under the Technical Assistance on State Data Collection Program, to receive funding from December 1, 2017, through November 30, 2018. This also means that we will not announce a new competition or make new awards in fiscal year (FY) 2017.
Definitions and Selection Criteria That Apply to Direct Grant Programs
Document Number: 2017-15989
Type: Rule
Date: 2017-07-31
Agency: Department of Education
The Secretary is issuing this rule in order to better align the regulations with the definition of ``evidence-based'' in the statutory authority. These changes mean that all competitive grant programs in the Department can continue to use the same provisions for evidence-based grant-making.
