Priorities for Fiscal Years 2001–2002 for

a National Center on Accessible

Education-Based Information

Technology, the Disability and Business

Technical Assistance Centers, and a

Traumatic Brain Injury Data Collection

Center.

SUMMARY: We propose funding priorities

for a National Center on Accessible

Education-Based Information

Technology, the Disability and Business

Technical Assistance Centers (DBTACs),

and a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Data

Collection Center under the National

Institute on Disability and

Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) for

fiscal years (FY) 2001–2002. We take

this action to focus research attention on

areas of national need. We intend these

priorities to improve the rehabilitation

services and outcomes for individuals

with disabilities. This notice contains

proposed priorities under the

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Technical Assistance Projects and the

Disability and Rehabilitation Research

Projects and Centers Program.

DATES: We must receive your comments

on or before December 7, 2000.

ADDRESSES: All comments concerning

these proposed priorities should be

addressed to Donna Nangle, U.S.

Department of Education, 400 Maryland

Avenue, SW., room 3414, Switzer

Building, Washington, DC. 20202–2645.

Comments may also be sent through the

Internet: donnalnangle@ed.gov

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

telecommunications device for the deaf

audiotape, or computer diskette) on

request to the contact person listed in

the preceding paragraph.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Invitation To Comment

We invite you to submit comments

regarding these proposed priorities.

We invite you to assist us in

complying with the specific

requirements of Executive Order 12866

and its overall requirement of reducing

regulatory burden that might result from

these proposed priorities. Please let us

know of any further opportunities we

should take to reduce potential costs or

increase potential benefits while

preserving the effective and efficient

administration of the program.

During and after the comment period,

you may inspect all public comments

about these priorities in Room 3414,

Switzer Building, 330 C Street SW.,

Washington, DC, between the hours of

8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Eastern time, Monday

Goals 2000: Educate America Act

The Goals 2000: Educate America Act

(Goals 2000) focuses the Nation’s

education reform efforts on the eight

National Education Goals and provides

a framework for meeting them. Goals

2000 promotes new partnerships to

strengthen schools and expands the

Department’s capacities for helping

communities to exchange ideas and

obtain information needed to achieve

the goals.

These proposed priorities would

address the National Education Goal

that every adult American will be

literate and will possess the knowledge

and skills necessary to compete in a

global economy and exercise the rights

and responsibilities of citizenship.

The authority for the programs to

establish research priorities by reserving

funds to support particular research

activities is contained in sections 202(g)

and 204 of the Rehabilitation Act of

1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 762(g) and

764). Regulations governing these

programs are found in 34 CFR part 350.

We will announce the final priorities

in a notice in the Federal Register. We

will determine the final priorities after

considering responses to this notice and

other information available to the

Department. This notice does not

preclude us from proposing or funding

additional priorities, subject to meeting

applicable rulemaking requirements.

Note: This notice does not solicit

applications. In any year in which we choose

to use these proposed priorities, we invite
