2These persons must not be otherwise involved 

with the proceeding. 

2. Administrative and National Policy 

Requirements: We identify 

administrative and national policy 

requirements in the application package 

and reference these and other 

requirements in the Applicable 

Regulations section of this notice. 

We reference the regulations outlining 

the terms and conditions of an award in 

the Applicable Regulations section of 

this notice and include these and other 

specific conditions in the GAN. The 

GAN also incorporates your approved 

application as part of your binding 

commitments under the grant. 

3. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a 

grant under this competition, you must 

ensure that you have in place the 

necessary processes and systems to 

comply with the reporting requirements 

in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive 

funding under the competition. This 

does not apply if you have an exception 

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 

performance and financial expenditure 

information as directed by the Secretary 

under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary 

may also require more frequent 

performance reports under 34 CFR 

75.720(c). For specific requirements on 

reporting, please go to www.ed.gov/

fund/grant/apply/appforms/

appforms.html. 

4. Performance Measures: To evaluate 

the overall success of this program, the 

Department has established three 

performance measures that assess 

progress toward our strategic goal of 

ensuring that data are available to 

inform educational decisions by 

supporting States’ development and 

implementation of Statewide 

longitudinal data systems. The 

Department measures: (1) The number 

of States that link K–12 data with early 

childhood data; (2) the number of States 

that link K–12 data with postsecondary 

data; and (3) the number of States that 

link K–12 and postsecondary data with 

workforce data. In addition, grantees 

will be expected to report in their 

annual and final performance reports on 

their progress in achieving the project 

objectives proposed in their grant 

applications and on the status of their 

development and implementation of a 

Statewide longitudinal data system. 

5. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award under 34 CFR 

75.253, the Secretary considers, among 

other things: Whether a grantee has 

made substantial progress in meeting 

the goals and objectives of the project; 

whether the grantee has expended funds 

in a manner that is consistent with its 

approved application and budget; and, 

if the Secretary has established 

performance measurement 

requirements, the performance targets in 

the grantee’s approved application. 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).

integrated licensing process of 

hydropower projects. 

Background 

The Commission’s integrated 

licensing process (ILP) regulations 

pertaining to hydroelectric licensing 

under the Federal Power Act encourages 

informal resolution of study 

disagreements. In cases where this is not 

successful, a formal study dispute 

resolution process is available for state 

and federal agencies or Indian tribes 

with mandatory conditioning 

authority.1

The ILP provides that the disputed 

study must be submitted to a dispute 

resolution panel consisting of a person 

from Commission staff, a person from 

the agency or Indian tribe referring the 

dispute to the Commission, and a third 

person selected by the other two 

panelists from a pre-established list of 

persons with expertise in the disputed 

resource area.2 The third panel member 

(TPM) will serve without compensation, 

except for certain allowable travel 

expenses to be borne by the 

Commission. 

The role of the panel members is to 

make a finding, with respect to each 

disputed study request, on the extent to 

which each study criteria set forth in the
