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)

the principles set forth in the Executive 

order. The Secretary has determined 

that this regulatory action is significant 

under section 3(f) of the Executive 

order. 

Potential Costs and Benefits 

Under Executive Order 12866, we 

have assessed the potential costs and 

benefits of this regulatory action and 

have determined that these interim final 

requirements will not impose additional 

costs to grantees or the Federal 

government. The Department is 

regulating only to permit, at the 

discretion of each applicant that 

submits an application of sufficient 

quality, more schools per LEA to be 

included in the national evaluation. 

Additionally, the Department has 

determined that this regulatory action 

does not unduly interfere with State, 

local, and Tribal governments in the 

exercise of their governmental 

functions. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

The small entities affected by this 

regulatory action are (1) small LEAs, 

and (2) nonprofit organizations applying 

for and receiving funds under this 

program in partnership with an LEA or 

a State educational agency (SEA). For 

the reasons stated in the NFP, 75 FR 

28738–28739, the Secretary certifies that 

this regulatory action will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

These interim final requirements 

contain no new information collection 

requirements that are subject to review 

by OMB under the Paperwork 

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

3520). 

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. 

This document provides notification 

of our specific plans regarding the TIF 

Evaluation competition for this 

program.
