under 2 CFR 170.110(b). 

(b) At the end of your project period, 

you must submit a final performance 

report, including financial information, 

as directed by the Secretary. If you 

receive a multi-year award, you must 

submit an annual performance report 

that provides the most current

4. Performance Measures: Under the 

Government Performance and Results 

Act of 1993, the Department has 

established a set of performance 

measures, including long-term 

measures, that are designed to yield 

information on various aspects of the 

effectiveness and quality of the 

Technical Assistance and Dissemination 

to Improve Services and Results for 

Children with Disabilities program. 

These measures focus on the extent to 

which projects provide high-quality 

products and services, the relevance of 

project products and services to 

educational and early intervention 

policy and practice, and the use of 

products and services to improve 

educational and early intervention 

policy and practice. 

Grantees will be required to report 

information on their project’s 

performance in annual reports to the 

Department (34 CFR 75.590). 

5. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award, the Secretary may 

consider, under 34 CFR 75.253, the 

extent to which a grantee has made 

‘‘substantial progress toward meeting 

the objectives in its approved 

application.’’ This consideration 

includes the review of a grantee’s 

progress in meeting the targets and 

projected outcomes in its approved 

application, and whether the grantee 

has expended funds in a manner that is 

consistent with its approved application 

and budget. In making a continuation 

grant, the Secretary also considers 

whether the grantee is operating in 

compliance with the assurances in its 

approved application, including those 

applicable to Federal civil rights laws 

that prohibit discrimination in programs 

or activities receiving Federal financial 

assistance from the Department (34 CFR 

100.4, 104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

PCAST is consulted about and provides 

analyses and recommendations 

concerning a wide range of issues where

science, technology, and innovation 

may bear on the policy choices before 

the President. PCAST is co-chaired by 

Dr. John P. Holdren, Assistant to the 

President for Science and Technology, 

and, Director, Office of Science and 

Technology Policy, Executive Office of

take place in the White House for the 

President’s scheduling convenience and

meeting is likely to disclose matters that 

are to be kept secret in the interest of 

national defense or foreign policy under 

5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). 

Public Comments: It is the policy of 

the PCAST to accept written public

meeting will take place on May 3, 2013, 

at a time specified in the meeting 

agenda posted on the PCAST Web site 

at http://whitehouse.gov/ostp/pcast.

interested parties should register to 

speak at: http://whitehouse.gov/ostp/

possible, the time for public comments 

will be limited to two (2) minutes per 

person, with a total public comment 

period of 30 minutes. If more speakers 

register than there is space available on 

the agenda, PCAST will randomly select 

speakers from among those who 

applied. Those not selected to present 

oral comments may always file written 

comments with the committee. Speakers 

are requested to bring at least 25 copies 

of their oral comments for distribution 

to the PCAST members. 

Written Comments: Although written 

comments are accepted continuously, 

written comments should be submitted 

to PCAST no later than 12:00 p.m. (EST) 

on April 26, 2013, so that the comments 

may be made available to the PCAST

consideration. Information regarding 

how to submit comments and 

documents to PCAST is available at 

http://whitehouse.gov/ostp/pcast in the
