DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Withdrawal of Notice Inviting Applications and Cancellation of 
the Competition for the Expanding Opportunity Through Quality Charter 
Schools Program (CSP)--Grants to State Entities

AGENCY: Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, Department of 
Education.

ACTION: Notice; withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Education (Department) withdraws the notice 
inviting applications (NIA) for fiscal year (FY) 2025 for CSP Grants to 
State Entities.

DATES: The NIA published in the Federal Register on January 21, 2025 
(90 FR 7104), is withdrawn and the competition cancelled as of February 
4, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 21, 2025, the Department 
published NIAs for two programs in the CSP in the Federal Register, one 
of which is for the FY 2025 CSP Grants to State Entities (SE grants), 
Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.282A. The Department is withdrawing 
this NIA as part of a comprehensive review of recently published FY 
2025 CSP NIAs. This reevaluation aims to ensure that all priorities and 
requirements for the FY 2025 CSP competitions align with the program 
priorities set by the Trump Administration, comply with Executive 
orders issued since January 20, 2025, and promote consistency across 
all CSP grant programs. The Department has also determined that 
aligning all CSP grant competitions will ensure greater impact on 
students and families. Additionally, alignment of CSP priorities will 
increase the economic impact of the Federal education funds awarded for 
the CSP.
    The Department intends to announce a new NIA for SE grants, ALN 
84.282A

[[Page 8929]]

in FY 2025. This NIA will unleash innovation, minimize excessive and 
unnecessary oversight, and lessen the reporting burden for both 
applicants and grant recipients. By adopting this streamlined approach, 
the Department is committed to maximizing the impact of its funding 
efforts while creating a more efficient application process.
    The Department does not expect that withdrawing this NIA will 
significantly impact our ability to make grant awards for FY 2025 under 
this competition because the Administration anticipates issuing a new 
NIA in the near future.
    Intergovernmental Review: This program is subject to Executive 
Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR part 79.
    Accessible Format: On request to the program contact person listed 
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, individuals with disabilities 
can obtain this notice and the NIA in an accessible format. The 
Department will provide the requestor with an accessible format that 
may include Rich Text Format (RTF) or text format (txt), a thumb drive, 
an MP3 file, braille, large print, audiotape, compact disc, or other 
accessible format.
