AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice of the closing date for

institutions that participate in the

Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program to

SUMMARY: The Secretary gives notice to

institutions of higher education of the

deadline for an institution that

participated in the FWS Program for the

1997–98 award year (July 1, 1997

through June 30, 1998) to submit a

Campus-Based Reallocation Form to

request supplemental FWS funds for the

1998–99 award year (July 1, 1998

through June 30, 1999). The information

collected is used to determine whether

an institution is eligible to receive

supplemental FWS funds for the 1998–

99 award year.

DATE: Closing Date for Submitting a

Campus-Based Reallocation Form. If an

institution that participated in the FWS

Program for the 1997–98 award year

wants to ensure that it will be

considered for supplemental FWS funds

for the 1998–99 award year, the

institution must submit the CampusBased Reallocation Form by July 17,

1998. The Department will not accept a

form submitted by facsimile

transmission.

ADDRESSES: Campus-Based Reallocation

Form Delivered by Mail. The CampusBased Reallocation Form delivered by

mail must be addressed to Mr. Milton

Thomas, Jr., Institutional Financial

Management Division, U.S. Department

of Education, P.O. Box 23781,

Washington, D.C. 20026–0781. An

applicant must show proof of mailing

consisting of one of the following: (1) a

legibly dated U.S. Postal Service

postmark; (2) a legible mail receipt with

the date of the mailing stamped by the

U.S. Postal Service; (3) a dated shipping

label, invoice, or receipt from a

commercial carrier; or (4) any other

proof of mailing acceptable to the

Secretary of Education.

If a Campus-Based Reallocation Form

is sent through the U.S. Postal Service,

the Secretary does not accept either of

the following as proof of mailing: (1) a

private metered postmark, or (2) a mail

receipt that is not dated by the U.S.

Postal Service. An institution should

note that the U.S. Postal Service does

not uniformly provide a dated postmark.

Before relying on this method, an

institution should check with its local

post office. An institution is encouraged

to use certified or at least first-class

mail.

Campus-Based Reallocation Form

Delivered by Hand. A Campus-Based

Reallocation Form delivered by hand

must be taken to Mr. Milton Thomas, Jr.,

Campus-Based Financial Operations

Branch, Institutional Financial

Management Division, Accounting and

Financial Management Service, Student

Financial Assistance Programs, U.S.

Department of Education, Room 4714,

Regional Office Building 3, 7th and D

Streets, S.W., Washington, D.C. Handdelivered Reallocation Forms will be

accepted between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30

p.m. (Eastern time) daily, except

Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal

holidays. A Campus-Based Reallocation

Form that is delivered by hand will not

be accepted after 4:30 p.m. on the

closing date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department will reallocate unexpended

FWS Federal funds from the 1997–98

award year as supplemental allocations

for the 1998–99 award year under the

FWS Program. Supplemental allocations

will be issued this fall in accordance

with the reallocation procedures

contained in the Higher Education Act

of 1965, as amended (HEA). Under

section 442(e) of the HEA, unexpended

FWS funds returned to the Secretary

must be reallocated to eligible

institutions that used at least 10 percent

of the total FWS Federal funds granted

to the institution to compensate

students employed in community

services. Because reallocated FWS funds

will be distributed on the basis of fair

share shortfall criteria, institutions must

also have a fair share shortfall to receive

these funds. A fair share shortfall means

that an institution has an unmet need

for FWS funds as determined by the

FWS allocation formula in the HEA that

uses data reported by the institution on

its Fiscal Operations Report and

Application to Participate (FISAP).

Institutions must use all the

reallocated FWS Federal funds to

compensate students employed in

community services. To ensure

consideration for supplemental FWS

Federal funds for the 1998–99 award

year, an institution must submit the

Campus-Based Reallocation Form by

July 17, 1998.
