American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009 (ARRA); Title I, Part A of 

the Elementary and Secondary

U.S. Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed adjustments 

to statutory caps on State 

administration. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Secretary of 

Education (Secretary) proposes to adjust 

the statutory caps on State 

administration under Title I, part A of 

the Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act of 1965, as amended 

(Title I, part A), and part B, section 611 

of the Individuals with Disabilities 

Education Act (IDEA) with respect to 

funds available for those programs 

under the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), 

Public Law 111–5. The proposed 

adjustments would allow State 

educational agencies (SEAs) to reserve 

State administrative funds from their 

fiscal year (FY) 2009 ARRA allocations 

under Title I, part A and section 611 of 

IDEA to help defray the costs of data 

collections that are specifically related 

to ARRA funding for these programs 

(including, for Title I, part A, data 

collection related to waivers). This 

notice only affects administrative costs 

for data collection under Title I, part A 

and IDEA section 611; for costs 

associated with other ARRA data 

collections, SEAs may use a portion of 

the State’s Government Services grant 

under the State Fiscal Stabilization 

Funds or funds allowable for that 

purpose under individual programs.
