of special populations. Massachusetts

expects to award 20–25 grants ranging

from $50,000 to $100,000 each. Grant

recipients will be required to match on

a dollar for dollar basis the total grant

request from State, local, business and

industry, or other non-Perkins Federal

funding source. The Request for

Proposal will include a stipulation that

schools include enrollment figures for

new proposed programs or grantimpacted programs, and also include

the number of students who are

members of special populations. Grant

funds awarded under this Request for

Proposal cannot be used to supplant

activities that are currently being

funded.

D. The Secretary’s Determination

The Secretary has carefully reviewed

the plan submitted by Massachusetts

and other relevant documentation.

Based upon that review, the Secretary

has determined that the conditions

under section 459 of GEPA have been

met.

This determination is based upon the

best information available to the

Secretary at the present time. If this

information is not accurate or complete,

the Secretary is not precluded from

taking appropriate administrative action

at a later date. In finding that the

conditions of section 459 of GEPA have

been met, the Secretary makes no

determination concerning any pending

audit recommendations or final audit

determinations.

E. Notice of the Secretary’s Intent To

Enter Into a Grantback Arrangement

Section 459(d) of GEPA requires that,

at least 30 days before entering into an

arrangement to award funds under a

grantback, the Secretary must publish in

the Federal Register a notice of intent

to do so, and the terms and conditions

under which the payment will be made.

In accordance with section 459(d) of

GEPA, notice is hereby given that the

Secretary intends to make funds

available to the Massachusetts

Department of Education under a

grantback arrangement. The grantback

award would be in the amount of

$1,583,858, which is 75 percent—the

maximum percentage authorized by the

statute—of the principal recovered by

the Department as a result of the final

audit determination and the settlement

in this matter.

F. Terms and Conditions Under Which

Payments Under a Grantback

Arrangement Would Be Made

Massachusetts agrees to comply with

any amendments to the plan that are

approved in advance by the Secretary;

and

(c) The budget that was submitted

by the Secretary.

(2) All funds received under the

grantback arrangement must be

obligated by September 30, 2000, for
