Title: State Fiscal Stabilization Fund 

MOE Guidance. 

Abstract: This guidance supplements 

the April 2009 Guidance on the State 

Fiscal Stabilization Fund program and 

provides additional information on the 

statutory maintenance-of-effort (MOE) 

requirements and the process through 

which a State applies for an MOE 

waiver. 

Additional Information: ED is 

requesting that the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approves this information request on an 

emergency basis, by May 1, 2009. Since 

the passage of ARRA, OESE staff has 

worked with ED’s Budget Service and 

the Office of General Counsel to develop 

a guidance that meets the intent and 

purposes of the Stabilization program. 

Using the regular clearance process 

would put ED well past the 120-day 

mark for awarding the Stabilization 

funds that are specified in the Act, 

which would clearly go against 

Congress’ intent. Not approving this 

emergency request would cause harm to 

many States and the students they serve 

and would delay ED’s ability to award 

the funds to some States in a timely 

manner. 

Frequency: One time. 

Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal 

Gov’t, SEAs or LEAs.

publishes that notice containing

Responses: 10,627.

Abstract: This is a request to extend 

by one year the expiration date for the 

data collection instruments for the 

Impact Evaluation of a School-Based 

Violence Prevention Program so that 

data collection can be completed. Both 

a curriculum-based program and a 

whole-school program are being 

implemented together so that the impact 

of a hybrid model of school-based 

violence prevention can be tested, as 

was recommended by experts in the 

field of school-based violence 

prevention. The beginning of data 

collection was delayed due to difficulty 

in site recruitment. The extension will 

allow the contractor to complete the 

third and final year of extent data 

collection.
