in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate

of burden accurate; (4) how might the

SUMMARY: On May 17, 2000 a notice

inviting applications for new awards

under the Smaller Learning

Communities Grant program was

published in the Federal Register (65

FR 31386). The notice was a complete

application package and contained all of

the information, application forms and

instructions necessary to apply for

grants under this program. One of the

forms—Coversheet: Smaller Learning

Communities (SLC) Grant Program

Application Package—was printed

incorrectly. Another form—Application

for Federal Assistance (ED 424)—

contained an incorrect CFDA number.

The correct forms are included with this

correction notice.

Also, in column two of page 31390,

line 41, remove ‘‘Note: ED Form 80–

0014 is intended for the use of grantees

and should not be transmitted to the

Department.’’ This form should be

included with your application. In

column three of the same page (65 FR

31390), there is an incorrect website

address. Line 31 should read http://

ocfo.ed.gov/fedreg.htm

On page 31393, column two, line 49,

remove ‘‘9. GPRA.’’
