ACTION: Notice of proposed revisions to 

priorities, requirements, and selection 

criteria. 

SUMMARY: The Assistant Deputy 

Secretary for Innovation and 

Improvement proposes to amend the 

final priorities, requirements, and 

selection criteria under the Investing in 

Innovation Fund (i3) program as 

established in the notice of final 

priorities, requirements, definitions, and 

selection criteria (2010 NFP) that was 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 12, 2010 (75 FR 12004–12071). 

The 2010 NFP established specific 

priorities, requirements, and selection 

criteria to be used in evaluating grant 

applications for the i3 program. The 

changes proposed in this notice reflect 

lessons learned from the first i3 

competition and would provide the 

Secretary with additional flexibility in 

using priorities, requirements, and 

selection criteria for i3 competitions in 

fiscal year (FY) 2011 and subsequent 

years.

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

Purpose of the Program: The purpose 

of the i3 program is to provide 

competitive grants to applicants with a 

record of improving student 

achievement and attainment in order to 

expand the implementation of, and 

investment in, innovative practices that 

have the required level of evidence 

documenting their impact 1 on 

improving student achievement or 

student growth (as defined in the 2010 

NFP), closing achievement gaps, 

decreasing dropout rates, increasing 

high school graduation rates, or 

increasing college enrollment and 

completion rates. 

Under this program, the Department 

awards three types of grants: ‘‘Scale-up’’ 

grants, ‘‘Validation’’ grants, and 

‘‘Development’’ grants. The use of three 

categories of grants supports the 

development of promising yet relatively 

untested ideas as well as the growth and 

‘‘scaling’’ of practices that have made 

demonstrable improvements in student 

achievement and attainment outcomes. 

Program Authority: American Recovery 

and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Division A, 

Section 14007, Pub. L. 111–5. 

Summary of Proposed Changes: The 

changes we are proposing in this notice 

would provide the Secretary the 

flexibility to select among the priorities 

established in the 2010 NFP for an i3 

competition in FY 2011 and in 

subsequent fiscal years. 

We are also proposing in this notice 

to modify two requirements that were 

established in the 2010 NFP: First, the 

requirement on the ‘‘Limits on Grant 

Awards’’ to clarify that the limit on the 

number of awards a grantee may receive 

under this program applies only to a 

single year’s competition under the i3 

program; and second, the requirement 

on ‘‘Cost Sharing or Matching’’ to 

provide the Secretary the flexibility to 

determine the required amount of 

private-sector matching funds or in-kind 

donations that an eligible applicant 

must obtain for an i3 competition in FY 

2011 and in subsequent fiscal years. 

Additionally, we are proposing 

changes that would permit the 

Department, in establishing selection 

criteria used in grant competitions 

conducted under the i3 program, to 

choose selection criteria and factors—(i) 

from those established in the 2010 NFP 

for the i3 program, (ii) from the menu 

of general selection criteria in the 

Education Department General 

Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 

34 CFR 75.210, (iii) based on statutory 

provisions in accordance with 34 CFR 

75.209, or (iv) from any combination of 

(i) through (iii) for competitions in FY 

2011 and in subsequent years. 

Additionally, the revisions proposed in 

this notice would allow the Secretary to 

choose one or more of the selection 

criteria for use in conducting a preapplication process in accordance with 

34 CFR 75.103. 

These proposed changes are 

responsive to specific lessons learned 

from the first competition of the i3 

program in FY 2010 and would allow 

the Department to simplify and improve 

the design of the i3 program to better 

achieve its purposes and goals, 

including improving student 

achievement and growth, closing 

achievement gaps, decreasing dropout 

rates, increasing high school graduation 

rates, and increasing college enrollment 

and completion rates. Specifically, the 

Department would have the flexibility 

to use the most appropriate priorities, 

requirements, and selection criteria, for 

each type of grant (Scale-up, Validation, 

or Development) under this program in 

any year in which this program is in 

effect, ensuring that the i3 program can 

adapt to evolving needs of the American 

education system. 

Priorities 

Background 

In the 2010 NFP for the i3 program, 

the Department established specific 

absolute and competitive preference 

priorities. The absolute priorities are: 

Innovations that Support Effective 

Teachers and Principals; Innovations 

that Improve the Use of Data; 

Innovations that Complement the 

Implementation of High Standards and 

High-Quality Assessments; and 

Innovations that Turn Around 

Persistently Low-Performing Schools. 

The competitive preference priorities 

are: Innovations for Improving Early 

Learning Outcomes; Innovations that 

Support College Access and Success; 

Innovations to Address the Unique 

Learning Needs of Students with 

Disabilities and Limited English 

Proficient Students; and Innovations 

that Serve Schools in Rural Local 

Educational Agencies (LEAs). The 2010 

NFP provided that the Department 

would use all of these priorities in 

conducting a grant competition. After 

using these specific priorities for the FY 

2010 competition, we have concluded 

that greater flexibility in selecting 

priorities will enable the i3 program to 

focus on the most critical needs for 

education in a given year. Accordingly, 

we are proposing in this notice that the 

Secretary may select among the absolute 

and competitive preference priorities 

established in the 2010 NFP for 

competitions in FY 2011 and in 

subsequent years. We note that although 

this proposed action would provide the 

Secretary with the flexibility to choose 

from one or more of the priorities in any 

particular year’s competition, it is 

currently our intention to use all of the 

competitive preference priorities in any 

competition we conduct for FY 2011. 

Proposed Revision to Priorities 

The Department proposes that the 

Secretary may use any of the priorities 

established in the 2010 NFP when 

establishing the priorities for a 

particular i3 competition. We may apply 

one or more of these priorities in any 

year in which this program is in effect. 

Requirements 

Background 

The 2010 NFP established specific 

requirements for the i3 program. One of 

those requirements was the ‘‘Limits on 

Grant Awards.’’ Specifically, the 2010 

NFP stated that ‘‘[N]o grantee may 

receive more than two awards under 

this program. In addition, no grantee 

may receive more than $55 million in 

grant awards under this program in a 

single year’s competition.’’ 

The Department intended that the 

‘‘Limits on Grant Awards’’ requirement 

would apply to awards made under a 

single year’s competition rather than 

under the program generally. 

Accordingly, we are proposing in this 

notice to modify this requirement in 

order to clarify that the limit on the 

number of awards a grantee may receive 

under this program applies only to a 

single year’s competition.2

1414 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 6 / Monday, January 10, 2011 / Notices 

Awards,’’ considers the competition for i3 funding 

in any particular year as a single competition. 

3The Department’s regulations in EDGAR govern, 

among other things, the use of selection criteria to 

evaluate discretionary grant applications. Under 34 

CFR 75.200, the Secretary may use selection criteria 

based on statutory provisions in accordance with 34 

CFR 75.209, selection criteria in program-specific 

regulations, selection criteria established under 34 

CFR 75.210, or any combination of these. The 

Secretary may select from the menu one or more 

criteria that best enable the Department to select the 

highest-quality applications, consistent with the 

program purpose, statutory requirements, and any 

priorities established for a competition. For 

additional information on 34 CFR 75.209 and 34 

CFR 75.270, see http://www2.ed.gov/policy/fund/ 

reg/edgarReg/edgar.html. 

We believe that this proposed change 

will not only allow us to clarify our 

intent but also better support the growth 

and ‘‘scaling’’ of practices that have 

made demonstrable improvements in 

student achievement and attainment 

outcomes. 

Additionally, the 2010 NFP 

established a ‘‘Cost Sharing or 

Matching’’ requirement for the i3 

program. Specifically, this requirement 

stated that in order to be eligible for an 

i3 award, an eligible applicant must 

submit evidence of private-sector 

matching funds or in-kind donations 

equal to at least 20 percent of its grant 

award. 

After using this specific requirement 

for the FY 2010 competition, we have 

concluded that a single established 

match amount across the three types of 

grants is burdensome on both applicants 

and matching funders, and that greater 

flexibility in determining the amount of 

the private-sector match would enable 

the i3 program to better accommodate 

the needs of the field in a given year 

while still fulfilling the program’s 

statutory requirements. Accordingly, we 

are proposing to modify the ‘‘Cost 

Sharing or Matching’’ requirement to 

provide the Secretary the flexibility to 

determine and specify in the notice 

inviting applications the required 

amount of private-sector matching funds 

or in-kind donations that an eligible 

applicant must obtain for an i3 grant in 

FY 2011 and in subsequent fiscal years. 

Proposed Revision to Requirements 

The Department proposes to revise 

the ‘‘Limits on Grant Awards’’ 

requirement to state that ‘‘[N]o grantee 

may receive more than two awards 

under this program in a single year’s 

competition. In addition, no grantee 

may receive more than $55 million in 

grant awards under this program in a 

single year’s competition.’’ 

Additionally, the Department 

proposes to revise the ‘‘Cost Sharing or 

Matching’’ requirement as follows: 

Cost Sharing or Matching: To be 

eligible for an award, an eligible 

applicant must demonstrate that it has 

established one or more partnerships 

with an entity or organization in the 

private sector, which may include 

philanthropic organizations, and that 

the entity or organization in the private 

sector will provide matching funds in 

order to help bring project results to 

scale. An eligible applicant must obtain 

matching funds or in-kind donations 

equal to an amount that the Secretary 

will specify in the notice inviting 

applications for the specific i3 

competition. Selected eligible 

applicants must submit evidence of the 

full amount of private-sector matching 

funds following the peer review of 

applications. An award will not be 

made unless the applicant provides 

adequate evidence that the full amount 

of the private-sector match has been 

committed or the Secretary approves the 

eligible applicant’s request to reduce the 

matching-level requirement. 

The Secretary may consider 

decreasing the matching requirement in 

the most exceptional circumstances, on 

a case-by-case basis. An eligible 

applicant that anticipates being unable 

to meet the full amount of the privatesector matching requirement must 

include in its application a request to 

the Secretary to reduce the matchinglevel requirement, along with a 

statement of the basis for the request. 

Selection Criteria 

Background 

The 2010 NFP established specific 

selection criteria for each of the three 

types of i3 grants and that the 

Department would use to evaluate i3 

applications. For Scale-up and 

Validation grants, these are: Need for 

the Project and Quality of the Project 

Design; Strength of Research, 

Significance of Effect, and Magnitude of 

Effect; Experience of the Eligible 

Applicant; Quality of the Project 

Evaluation; Strategy and Capacity to 

Bring to Scale; Sustainability; and 

Quality of the Management Plan and 

Personnel. For Development grants, 

these are: Need for the Project and 

Quality of the Project Design; Strength 

of Research, Significant of Effect, and 

Magnitude of Effect; Experience of the 

Eligible Applicant; Quality of the 

Project Evaluation; Strategy and 

Capacity to Further Develop and Scale; 

Sustainability; and Quality of the 

Management Plan and Personnel. The 

2010 NFP provided that the Department 

would use all of the criteria for a 

specific type of grant in evaluating 

applications for that grant. 

After using these selection criteria for 

the FY 2010 competition, we have 

concluded that greater flexibility is 

needed for choosing selection criteria, 

and the factors included under each 

criterion, in order to enable the i3 

program to focus on the most critical 

needs for education in a given year. 

Such flexibility would also allow the 

Department to simplify the selection 

criteria, as appropriate, for a particular 

competition. Accordingly, we are 

proposing in this notice that, when 

establishing selection criteria for an i3 

competition, the Secretary may choose 

one or more of the selection criteria 

established for the i3 program in the 

2010 NFP, may use selection criteria 

from the menu of general selection 

criteria in 34 CFR 75.210, may use 

selection criteria based on statutory 

provisions in accordance with 34 CFR 

75.209, or may use any combination of 

these criteria for the purpose of 

evaluating grant applications under the 

i3 program.3

We believe that the proposed change 

will enable the Department to 

administer this program more 

effectively, simplify the application and 

review processes, better align the 

selection criteria used for the different 

types of grants under this program with 

the critical aims of that specific grant 

type, and better ensure that i3 projects 

address the most critical needs of 

education in a given year. 

Proposed Revision to Selection Criteria 

The Department proposes that the 

Secretary may use one or more of the 

selection criteria established in the 2010 

NFP, any of the selection criteria in 34 

CFR 75.210, criteria based on the 

statutory requirements for the i3 

program in accordance with 34 CFR 

75.209, or any combination of these 

when establishing selection criteria for 

each particular type of grant (Scale-up, 

Validation, and Development) in an i3 

competition. This would include the 

authority to reduce the number of 

selection criteria. Within each criterion 

from these sources, the Secretary would 

further define each criterion by selecting 

one or more specific factors within a 

criterion or assigning factors from one 

criterion, from any of those sources, to 

another criterion, in any of those 

sources. The Secretary may apply one or 

more of these criteria in any year in 

which this program is in effect. The 

Secretary may also select one or more of 

these selection criteria to review preapplications, if the Secretary decides to 

invite pre-applications in accordance 

with 34 CFR 75.103. In the notice 

inviting applications, the application 

package, or both, we would announce

Executive Order 12866: Under 

Executive Order 12866, the Secretary 

must determine whether a regulatory 

action is ‘‘significant’’ and therefore 

subject to the requirements of the 

Executive order and subject to review by 

the Office of Management and Budget. 

Section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 

defines a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

as an action likely to result in a rule that 

may (1) have an annual effect on the 

economy of $100 million or more, or 

adversely affect a sector of the economy, 

productivity, competition, jobs, the 

environment, public health or safety, or 

State, local or Tribal governments or 

communities in a material way (also 

referred to as an ‘‘economically 

significant’’ rule); (2) create serious 

inconsistency or otherwise interfere 

with an action taken or planned by 

another agency; (3) materially alter the 

budgetary impacts of entitlement grants, 

user fees, or local programs or the rights 

and obligations of recipients thereof; or 

(4) raise novel legal or policy issues 

arising out of legal mandates, the 

President’s priorities, or the principles 

set forth in the Executive order. The 

Secretary has determined that this 

regulatory action is not significant 

under section 3(f) of the Executive 

order. 

This notice has been reviewed in 

accordance with Executive Order 12866. 

Under the terms of the order, we have 

assessed the potential costs and benefits 

of this proposed regulatory action. 

The potential costs associated with 

this proposed regulatory action are 

those resulting from statutory 

requirements and those we have 

determined as necessary for 

administering the Department’s 

discretionary grant programs effectively 

and efficiently. 

In assessing the potential costs and 

benefits—both quantitative and 

qualitative—of this proposed regulatory 

action, we have determined that the 

benefits of the proposed priorities and 

definitions justify the costs. 

We have determined, also, that this 

proposed regulatory action does not 

unduly interfere with State, local, and 

Tribal governments in the exercise of 

their governmental functions. 

Summary of Potential Costs and 

Benefits 

This proposed regulatory action 

affects only LEAs and nonprofit 

organizations that are applying for 

assistance under the i3 program. This 

regulatory action creates flexibility for 

the Department to (a) select from among 

the priorities and selection criteria that 

were established in the 2010 NFP 

specific priorities and criteria to use in 

the FY 2011 i3 grant competition and 

those in subsequent years, and (b) select 

other selection criteria under 34 CFR 

75.209 and 75.210. We believe that any 

priority or criterion that would be used 

in a future grant competition would not 

impose a financial burden that LEAs 

and nonprofit organizations would not 

otherwise incur in the development and 

submission of a grant application under 

the i3 program, and under some 

circumstances (for example, if the 

Department elected to use fewer criteria 

or factors in a given competition) the 

proposed changes could reduce the 

financial burden of preparing an i3 grant 

application by a modest amount. 

Additionally, although the ‘‘Limits on 

Grant Awards’’ and ‘‘Cost Sharing or 

Matching’’ requirements are i3 program 

requirements, both requirements affect 

only the highest-rated applications from 

the peer review process that are also 

determined to be eligible for an i3 grant 

award. Therefore, we believe that the 

proposed modifications to the 

requirements would not impose a 

financial burden that LEAs and 

nonprofit organizations would not 

otherwise incur in the development and 

submission of a grant application under 

the i3 program. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

This notice contains information 

collection requirements that are subject 

to review by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520). The burden associated with 

CFDA Nos. 84.396A/B/C was approved 

by OMB under OMB Control Number 

1855–0021, which expires on October 

31, 2013. These proposed revisions to 

priorities, requirements, and selection 

criteria would allow the Department to 

improve the design of the i3 program to 

better achieve its purposes and goals by 

(a) establishing the flexibility to select 

priorities and selection criteria and (b) 

modifying the ‘‘Limits on Grant Awards’’ 

and ‘‘Cost Sharing or Matching’’ 

requirements. However, the revisions do 

not change the number of applications 

an organization may submit or the 

burden that an applicant would 

otherwise incur in the development and 

submission of a grant application under 

the i3 program. Therefore, the 

Department expects that this proposed 

regulatory action will not affect the total 

burden of 150,000 hours. 

Intergovernmental Review: This 

program is subject to Executive Order 

12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR 

part 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.
