SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Committee is established to advise the 

Secretary of Education in assisting twoyear degree-granting institutions of 

higher education in meeting the 

completion or graduation rate disclosure 

requirements outlined in section 485 of 

the Higher Education Act of 1965, as 

amended. Specifically, the Committee 

shall develop recommendations 

regarding the accurate calculation and 

reporting of completion or graduation 

rates of entering certificate/degreeseeking, full-time, undergraduate 

students by two-year degree granting 

institutions of higher education. The 

Committee may also recommend 

additional or alternative measures of 

student success that are comparable 

alternatives to the completion or 

graduation rates of entering degreeseeking full-time undergraduate 

students and that consider the mission 

and role of two-year degree granting 

higher education institutions. These 

recommendations shall be provided to 

the Secretary no later than April 2012. 

The agenda for the Committee’s 

second meeting will include 

presentations by Committee working 

groups regarding the topics of 

progression, completion, and alternative 

measures. The agenda will also include 

Committee member discussions of 

potential findings and recommendations 

related to these topics.

BILLING CODE 4000–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Proposed Waiver and Extension of 

Project Period 

AGENCY: Office of Innovation and 

Improvement, Education. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed waiver and 

extension of project period. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary proposes to 

waive the requirements in 34 CFR 

75.250 and 75.261(c)(2) of the Education 

Department General Administrative 

Regulations (EDGAR) that, respectively, 

generally prohibit project periods 

exceeding five years and project period 

extensions involving the obligation of 

additional Federal funds. The FY 2010 

appropriation provided the fifth year of 

funding for 60 of the 62 Parental 

Information and Resource Center (PIRC) 

grants that were funded in FY 2006, and 

the fourth year of funding for the 

remaining two grants that were funded 

in FY 2007. The proposed waivers 

would enable 60 of the 62 current 

grantees under the PIRC program to 

continue to receive Federal funding 

beyond the five-year limitation 

contained in 34 CFR 75.250 and enable 

the Department to obligate an additional 

year of Federal funds for all 62 current 

eligible grantees notwithstanding the 

limitation in 34 CFR 75.261(c)(2), which 

prohibits the extension of a project 

period if it involves the obligation of 

additional Federal funds. This 

additional year of Federal funds would 

be contingent on final Congressional 

action on the FY 2011 budget. 

DATES: We must receive your comments 

on or before February 14, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Address all comments about 

this proposed waiver and extension of 

project period to Monique Toussaint, 

U.S. Department of Education, 400 

Maryland Avenue, SW., Room 4W243, 

Washington, DC 20202–5970. 

Telephone: (202) 260–0964. 

If you prefer to send your comments 

by e-mail, use the following address: 

pirc@ed.gov. You must include the 

phrase ‘‘proposed waiver and extension 

of project period’’ in the subject line of 

your electronic message.
