DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Applications for New Awards; Alaska 

Native Education Program; 

Amendments 

AGENCY: Office of Elementary and 

Secondary Education, Department of 

Education. 

ACTION: Notice; amendments. 

SUMMARY: On January 12, 2022, we 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice inviting applications (NIA) for 

new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2022 for 

the Alaska Native Education (ANE) 

program, Assistance Listing Number 

(ALN) 84.356A. Since that time, 

Congress passed, and the President 

signed, the Consolidated Appropriations 

Act, 2022 (the Act), which provides 

funding for the awards under this 

competition. We are amending the NIA 

to provide, consistent with the Act, that 

the administrative cost cap in section 

6205(b) of the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act of 1965 

(ESEA) applies only to direct 

administrative costs for grants awarded 

using FY 2022 appropriations and to 

clarify that funds may be used for 

construction. This notice relates to the 

approved information collection under 

OMB control number 1894–0006. 

DATES: Deadline for Transmittal of 

Applications: April 26, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 12, 2022, we published in the 

Federal Register the NIA for FY 2022 

for the ANE program (87 FR 1732). The 

ANE NIA established a deadline date of 

March 14, 2022, for transmittal of 

applications. On March 2, 2022, we 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register (87 FR 11698) extending the 

application deadline date to April 26, 

2022 (Extension Notice). 

On March 15, 2022, Congress passed 

and the President signed the Act, which 

provides funding for the awards under 

this competition. The Act provides that 

the five percent limitation in section 

6205(b) of the ESEA on the use of funds 

for administrative purposes applies only 

to direct administrative costs and that 

funds may be used for construction. 

Accordingly, we are amending the NIA 

to notify prospective applicants that no 

more than five percent of funds awarded 

for a FY 2022 grant under this program 

may be used for direct administrative 

costs. We are also amending the NIA to 

clarify that funds may be used for 

construction. All other requirements 

and conditions stated in the NIA, as 

amended by the Extension Notice, 

remain the same. 

Amendments: 

In FR Doc. No. 2022–00411, appearing 

on page 1732 of the Federal Register of 

January 12, 2022, we make the following 

amendments: 

1. On page 1733, in the left column, 

in the section titled ‘‘Absolute Priority’’, 

remove the note after ‘‘2. Collects data 

to assist in the evaluation of the 

programs carried out under the ANE 

program.’’ and add in its place: 

Note: The use of FY 2022 funds for 

the purpose of construction is a 

permissible activity as authorized by 

Congress. 

2. On page 1735, in the left column, 

remove the text after the heading ‘‘4. 

Funding Restrictions:’’ and add in its 

place: No more than five percent of FY 

2022 funds awarded for a grant under 

this program may be used for direct 

administrative costs (ESEA section 

6205(b) and the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2022 (the Act)). 

This five percent limit does not include 

indirect costs. 

Note: In general, for purposes of this 

competition, the five percent limit on 

administrative costs under ESEA section 

6205(b) includes direct and indirect 

administrative costs. In the Act, 

however, Congress explicitly specified 

that, for FY 2022 funds, the 

administrative cost cap refers only to 

direct administrative costs. 

We reference regulations outlining 

additional funding restrictions in the 

Applicable Regulations section of this 

notice. 

Program Authority: Title VI, part C of 

the ESEA (20 U.S.C. 7541–7546); 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022.
