must be submitted. However, if an SEA

submits revised data after the final

deadline that results in a lower SPPE

figure, its allocations may be adjusted

downward or the Department may

request the SEA to return funds. SEAs

should be aware that all of these data

are subject to audit and that, if any

inaccuracies are discovered in the audit

process, the Department may seek

recovery of overpayments for the

applicable programs. If an SEA submits

revised data after September 8, the data

may also be too late to be included in

the final NCES published dataset.
