effectiveness on the basis of student 

academic achievement and other 

outcomes. 

Educational gain, is the key outcome 

measure in the NRS, which describes 

students’ improvement in literacy skills 

during instruction. States are required to 

have their local programs assessments 

gained by administering standardized 

pre-post assessments to students, 

following valid administration 

procedures. The NRS Guidelines allow 

states to select the assessments most 

appropriate for their state, which may 

be published standardized tests or 

performance-based assessments. If the 

state uses performance-based 

assessments, NRS guidelines require the 

assessment to have standardized 

procedures and scoring rubrics that 

meet accepted psychometric standards.

in their efforts to reform and improve 

elementary and secondary school

The Department funds programs

addition, under section 7116 of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), the 

Secretary will, upon receipt of an 

acceptable plan for the integration of 

education and related services, 

authorize the entity receiving the funds 

under this program to consolidate, in 

accordance with the entity’s plan, the 

funds for any Federal program 

exclusively serving Indian children, or 

the funds reserved under any Federal 

program to exclusively serve Indian 

children, that are awarded under a 

statutory or administrative formula to 

the entity, for the purpose of providing 

education and related services to Indian 

students. Instructions for submitting an

ESEA. 

Application Process and Submission 

Information: 

Applications for grants under this 

program must be submitted 

electronically unless you qualify for an 

exception to this requirement in 

accordance with the instructions in this 

section. We will reject your application 

if you submit it in paper format unless, 

as described elsewhere in this section, 

you qualify for one of the exceptions to 

the electronic submission requirement 

and submit, no later than two weeks 

before the application deadline dates for 

both Part I and Part II applications, a 

written statement to the Department that 

you qualify for one of these exceptions. 

Further information regarding 

calculation of the date that is two weeks 

before the application deadline date is 

provided later in this section under 

Exception to Electronic Submission 

Requirement. 

Formula Grant EASIE Electronic 

Application System: Formula Grant 

EASIE is an easy-to-use, electronic 

application system. It communicates 

with data from State submissions to 

EDFacts, the Department’s data 

collection system that contains 

performance information from State 

educational agencies about schools and 

Federal education programs. To the 

extent that your State has provided the 

necessary EDFacts data files, Formula 

Grant EASIE will be able to interface 

with EDFacts and pull those LEAspecific data into the application. 

Additionally, this system allows the 

Department to review applications and 

interact online with applicants during 

the application review and approval 

process. 

The Formula Grant EASIE application 

is divided into two parts—Part I and 

Part II. 

Part I, Student Count, provides the 

appropriate data-entry screens to submit 

your Indian student count totals. 

Part II, Program and Budget 

Information, provides your award 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

2092 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 12, 2011 / Notices 

amount based on the Indian student 

count total submitted under Part I. Part 

II also enables you to enter student 

performance data, identify your 

project’s services and activities, and 

build a realistic program budget based 

on a known grant amount. Based on 

student assessment data, you will select 

your program objectives and services 

from a variety of menu options that 

were designed with grantee input. 

Registration for Formula Grant EASIE: 

Entities are encouraged to register as 

soon as possible at the registration Web 

site: http://www.easie.org to ensure that 

any potential registration issues are 

resolved prior to the deadline for the

purpose of the initial registration is to 

re-activate entities’ access to EASIE and 

to ensure that the correct entity 

information (e.g., NCES or DUNS 

numbers) is pre-populated into the first 

part of EASIE. The registration Web site 

does not serve as the entity’s grant 

application. The registration may be 

completed by current, former, and new 

applicants interested in submitting an 

Indian Formula Grant EASIE 

application. For information on how to 

register, contact the EDFacts Partner 

Support Center listed elsewhere in this 

notice under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
