4340 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 23, 2024 / Notices 

TIGs is expected to commence on 

November 1, 2024. 

III. Grant Application Process 

A. Technology Initiative Grant 

Application Process 

The TIG application process will be 

administered in LSC’s unified grants 

management system, GrantEase. 

Applicants in the General TIG category 

must first submit a pre-application to 

LSC in GrantEase by March 11, 2024, at 

11:59 p.m. ET, to be considered for a 

grant. After review by LSC staff, LSC’s 

president decides which applicants will 

be asked to submit a full application. 

Applicants will be notified of approval 

to submit a full application by late April 

2024. Full applications are due to LSC 

in the GrantEase system on June 3, 2024, 

at 11:59 p.m. ET. Once received, full 

applications will undergo a rigorous 

review by LSC staff. LSC’s president 

makes the final decisions on funding for 

the Technology Initiative Grant 

program. 

As noted above, applicants applying 

for Technology Improvement Project 

funding or in the Adoption, Expansion, 

and Enhancement category are not 

required to submit pre-applications. 

LSC will launch the online application 

system for Technology Improvement 

Projects by April 1, 2024, and set a 

submission deadline of May 19, 2024, at 

11:59 p.m. ET. LSC will launch the 

online application system for Adoption, 

Expansion, and Enhancement grants in 

late April 2024 and applications will be 

due to LSC in GrantEase on June 3, 

2024, at 11:59 p.m. ET. LSC follows a 

similar review process for applications 

in these categories, which includes LSC 

staff conducting a rigorous review of all 

proposals and the LSC president making 

final funding decisions. 

B. Late or Incomplete Applications 

LSC may consider a request to submit 

a pre-application after the deadline, but 

only if the applicant has submitted an 

email to techgrants@lsc.gov explaining 

the circumstances that caused the delay 

prior to the pre-application deadline. 

Communication with LSC staff, 

including assigned program liaisons, is 

not a substitute for sending a formal 

request and explanation to techgrants@

lsc.gov. At its discretion, LSC may 

consider incomplete applications. LSC 

will determine whether it will consider 

late or incomplete applications on a 

case-by-case basis. 

C. Multiple Pre-Applications 

Applicants may submit multiple preapplications. If applying for multiple 

grants that require pre-applications, 

applicants should submit separate preapplications for each funding request. 

D. Additional Information and 

Guidelines 

Additional guidance and instructions 

on the pre-application and application 

processes for Technology Initiative 

Grants will be available and regularly 

updated at https://www.lsc.gov/grants/ 

technology-initiative-grant-program.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 23, 2024 / Notices 4341 

We have uploaded the records 

schedules and accompanying appraisal 

memoranda to the regulations.gov 

docket for this notice as ‘‘other’’ 

documents. Each records schedule 

contains a full description of the records 

at the file unit level as well as their 

proposed disposition. The appraisal 

memorandum for the schedule includes 

information about the records. 

We will post comments, including 

any personal information and 

attachments, to the public docket 

unchanged. Because comments are 

public, you are responsible for ensuring 

that you do not include any confidential 

or other information that you or a third 

party may not wish to be publicly 

posted. If you want to submit a 

comment with confidential information 

or cannot otherwise use the 

regulations.gov portal, you may contact 

request.schedule@nara.gov for 

instructions on submitting your 

comment. 

We will consider all comments 

submitted by the posted deadline and 

consult as needed with the Federal 

agency seeking the disposition 

authority. After considering comments, 

we may or may not make changes to the 

proposed records schedule. The 

schedule is then sent for final approval 

by the Archivist of the United States. 

After the schedule is approved, we will 

post on regulations.gov a ‘‘Consolidated 

Reply’’ summarizing the comments, 

responding to them, and noting any 

changes we made to the proposed 

schedule. You may elect at 

regulations.gov to receive updates on 

the docket, including an alert when we 

post the Consolidated Reply, whether or 

not you submit a comment. If you have 

a question, you can submit it as a 

comment, and can also submit any 

concerns or comments you would have 

to a possible response to the question. 

We will address these items in 

consolidated replies along with any 

other comments submitted on that 

schedule. 

We will post schedules on our 

website in the Records Control Schedule 

(RCS) Repository, at https://

www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/rcs, 

after the Archivist approves them. The 

RCS contains all schedules approved 

since 1973. 

Background 

Each year, Federal agencies create 

billions of records. To control this 

accumulation, agency records managers 

prepare schedules proposing retention 

periods for records and submit these 

schedules for NARA’s approval. Once 

approved by NARA, records schedules 

provide mandatory instructions on what 

happens to records when no longer 

needed for current Government 

business. The records schedules 

authorize agencies to preserve records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives or to destroy, after a specified 

period, records lacking continuing 

administrative, legal, research, or other 

value. Some schedules are 

comprehensive and cover all the records 

of an agency or one of its major 

subdivisions. Most schedules, however, 

cover records of only one office or 

program or a few series of records. Many 

of these update previously approved 

schedules, and some include records 

proposed as permanent. 

Agencies may not destroy Federal 

records without the approval of the 

Archivist of the United States. The 

Archivist grants this approval only after 

thorough consideration of the records’ 

administrative use by the agency of 

origin, the rights of the Government and 

of private people directly affected by the 

Government’s activities, and whether or 

not the records have historical or other 

value. Public review and comment on 

these records schedules is part of the 

Archivist’s consideration process.
