Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 52 / Thursday, March 18, 2010 / Notices 13111 

competitions under the Comprehensive 

Centers program until after the Congress 

has completed the process of 

reauthorizing the ESEA and the ETAA 

since the primary work of the 

Comprehensive Centers is to help 

States, LEAs, and schools implement 

key school improvement provisions of 

the ESEA. We also have concluded that 

it would be contrary to the public 

interest to have a lapse in 

Comprehensive Centers projects 

pending these reauthorizations. For 

these reasons, the Secretary proposes to 

waive the requirements in 34 CFR 

75.250, which prohibit project periods 

exceeding five years, and the 

requirements in 34 CFR 75.261(c)(2), 

which limit the extension of a project 

period if the extension involves the 

obligation of additional Federal funds. 

With these waivers: (1) Current 

Comprehensive Centers grantees would 

receive FY 2010 funds and continue to 

operate through FY 2011 and possibly 

beyond, if Congress continues to 

appropriate funds for that purpose, and 

(2) we would not announce a new 

competition or make new awards under 

the Comprehensive Centers program in 

FY 2010. 

The proposed waivers of 34 CFR 

75.250 and 75.261(c)(2) would not affect 

the applicability of the requirements in 

34 CFR 75.253 (continuation of a multiyear project after the first budget period) 

to any current Comprehensive Centers 

grantee that receives a continuation 

award as a result of the waivers. 

In addition, these proposed waivers 

would not exempt current 

Comprehensive Centers grantees from 

the account-closing provisions in 31 

U.S.C. 1552(a), nor would they extend 

the availability of funds previously 

awarded to current Comprehensive 

Centers grantees. Under 31 U.S.C. 

1552(a), appropriated funds may be 

used for payment of valid obligations for 

only five years after the expiration of 

their period of availability for Federal 

obligation. After that time, the 

unexpended balance of those funds is 

canceled and returned to the U.S. 

Treasury Department and is unavailable 

for restoration for any purpose. The 

waivers proposed in this notice would 

not change this requirement. 

Making these waivers, therefore, 

would ensure that the important 

services provided by the current 

Comprehensive Centers grantees can be 

continued, as the Department works on 

reauthorization of the ETAA and ESEA 

and designs a Comprehensive Centers 

program that is clearly aligned with the 

Department’s technical assistance 

priorities. During this interim period the 

activities of the current Comprehensive 

Centers grantees would be modified to 

support the Department’s technical 

assistance priorities. 

We will announce the final waivers, 

if any, in a notice in the Federal 

Register. We will determine the final 

waivers after considering responses to 

this notice and other information 

available to the Department. 

Proposed Waivers—Comprehensive 

Centers Program 

The Secretary proposes to waive the 

requirements in 34 CFR 75.250 and 

75.261(c)(2), which prohibit project 

periods exceeding five years and 

extensions of project periods that 

involve the obligation of additional 

Federal funds, for the current 

Comprehensive Centers grantees. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

The Secretary certifies that these 

proposed waivers would not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The small entities that would be 

affected by these proposed waivers are: 

(a) The FY 2005 grantees currently 

receiving Federal funds; and 

(b) The entities that are eligible for an 

award under the Comprehensive 

Centers program (i.e., research 

organizations, institutions, agencies, 

institutions of higher education, 

partnerships among such entities, or 

individuals, with the demonstrated 

ability or capacity to carry out the 

activities described in the notice 

inviting applications published in the 

Federal Register on June 3, 2005 (70 FR 

53283) and corrected on June 20, 2005 

(70 FR 35415)). 

The Secretary certifies that the 

proposed waivers would not have a 

significant economic impact on these 

entities because the proposed waivers 

and the activities required to support 

the additional years of funding would 

not impose excessive regulatory burdens 

or require unnecessary Federal 

supervision. The proposed waivers 

would impose minimal requirements to 

ensure the proper expenditure of 

program funds, including requirements 

that are standard for continuation 

awards. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

This notice of proposed waivers does 

not contain any information collection 

requirements. 

Intergovernmental Review 

This program is subject to Executive 

Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 

CFR 79. One of the objectives of the 

Executive Order is to foster an 

intergovernmental partnership and a 

strengthened federalism. The Executive 

Order relies on processes developed by 

State and local governments for 

coordination and review of proposed 

Federal financial assistance. 

This document provides early 

notification of our specific plans and 

actions for this program.

apply for funding under this program. 

The Department of Education 

announces the reopening of the 

competition for new awards under 

National Institute on Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR)— 

Disability and Rehabilitation Research 

Projects and Centers Program— 

Advanced Rehabilitation Research 

Training (ARRT) Projects for Fiscal Year 

(FY) 2010. 

We are establishing a new deadline 

date for the transmittal of applications. 

We are taking this action because the 

recent closure of the U.S. Federal 

government on February 5, 8, and 9, 

2010 due to blizzard conditions in the 

Mid-Atlantic Region may have 

interfered with applicants’ ability to 

access needed technical assistance 

through the e-Grants Help Desk. The 

reopening is intended to ensure that all 

potential applicants have the 

opportunity to submit applications 

under this competition. If you have 

already successfully submitted an eapplication for this grant competition, 

you do not need to resubmit your 

application. 

Deadline for Transmittal of 

Applications: April 1, 2010. 

Note: Applications for grants under this 

program must be submitted electronically 

using e-Application, accessible through the 

Department of Education’s e-grants Web site 

at: http://e-grants.ed.gov. 

For information about how to submit 

your application electronically, please 

refer to Electronic Submission of 

Application in the December 11, 2010 

notice (74 FR 65765–65769). We 

encourage applicants to submit their 

applications as soon as possible to avoid 

any problems with filing electronic 

applications on the last day.
