that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or

Director, Information Collection 

Clearance Division, Regulatory 

Information Management Services, 

Office of Management, publishes that 

notice containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection, 

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment. 

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate 

of burden accurate; (4) how might the 

Department enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (5) how might the 

Department minimize the burden of this 

collection on the respondents, including 

through the use of information 

technology.

Type of Review: Reinstatement. 

Title: Application for Grants under 

the Training Program for Federal TRIO 

Programs. 

Abstract: This application is needed 

to conduct a national competition for 

new grant awards under the Training 

Program for Federal TRIO Programs for 

Fiscal Year 2010. The Training Program 

for Federal TRIO programs is mandated 

by statute to provide training for 

leadership personnel and staff emoloyed 

in, participating in, or preparing for 

employment in Federal TRIO Program 

projects designed to indentify 

individuals from disadvantaged 

backgrounds, prepare them for a 

program of postsecondary education, 

and provide special services for such 

students pursuing programs of 

postsecondary education. 

Additional Information: Without the 

granting of the emergency clearance, the 

Department will miss a statutory 

deadline and harm to the public would 

be caused due to lack of training needed 

to operate Federal TRIO Program’s 

grants. All staff employed by Federal 

TRIO Programs’ grants provide support 

and esnure high school completion, 

college entrance and competion among 

first generation and low income 

students and individuals with 

disabilities. Without funding these 

activities would go unsupported by 

training. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Affected Public: Not-for-profit 

institutions; State, Local, or Tribal 

Gov’t, SEAs or LEAs.

Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The Fund for the 

Improvement of Education (FIE), which 

is authorized by section 5411 of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), 

supports nationally significant programs 

to improve the quality of elementary 

and secondary education at the State 

and local levels and help all children 

meet challenging academic content and 

academic achievement standards. The 

Full-Service Community Schools (FSCS) 

program, which is funded under FIE, 

encourages coordination of academic, 

social, and health services through 

partnerships between (1) Public 

elementary and secondary schools; (2) 

the schools’ local educational agencies 

(LEAs); and (3) community-based 

organizations, nonprofit organizations, 

and other public or private entities. The 

purpose of this collaboration is to 

provide comprehensive academic, 

social, and health services for students, 

students’ family members, and 

community members that will result in 

improved educational outcomes for 

children. The Full-Service Community 

Schools program is a ‘‘place-based’’ 

program (see http:// 

www.whitehouse.gov/omb/assets/ 

memoranda_fy2009/m09-28.pdf) that 

can leverage investments by focusing 

resources in targeted places, drawing on 

the compounding effects of wellcoordinated actions. Place-based 

approaches can also streamline 

otherwise redundant and disconnected 

programs. 

Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 7243– 

7243b. 

Priorities: 

These priorities are from the notice of 

final priorities, selection criteria, 

definitions, and requirements for this 

program, published elsewhere in this 

issue of the Federal Register. 

Absolute Priority: For FY 2010 and 

any subsequent year in which we make 

awards from the list of unfunded 

applications, this priority is an absolute 

priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) we 

consider only applications that meet 

this priority. 

This priority is: 

Projects That Establish or Expand FullService Community Schools 

Background: In order for children to 

be ready and able to learn, they need 

academic, social, and health supports. 

The National Research Council has cited 

the presence of these supports as 

important predictors of future adult 

success.1 Students’ needs are better met 

when academic, social, and health 

services are delivered to them in a wellcoordinated, results-focused, and 

integrated manner. 

A full-service community school, as 

defined in this notice, is a public 

elementary or secondary school that 

works with its local educational agency 

and community-based organizations, 

nonprofit organizations, and other 

public or private entities to provide a 

coordinated and integrated set of 

comprehensive academic, social, and 

health services that respond to the 

needs of its students, students’ family 

members, and community members, as 

defined in this notice. These resultsfocused partnerships, as defined in this 

notice, are based on identified needs 

and organized around a set of mutually 

defined results and outcomes. 

Full-service community schools 

recognize that schools do not operate in 

total isolation from the communities in 

which they are located. Community 

challenges such as poverty, violence, 

poor physical health, and family 

instability can become education issues 

when left unaddressed. When schools 

and community partners collaborate to 

address these issues and align their 

resources to achieve common results, 

children are more likely to succeed
