SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

The Department has recovered

$42,262.39 from the Oregon Department

of Education (SEA) in satisfaction of

claims arising from an audit of KCSD

covering fiscal year (FY) 1990.

The claims involved the SEA’s

administration of Chapter 1, ESEA,

providing financial assistance to State

and local agencies to address the special

educational needs of educationally

deprived children in areas with high

concentrations of children from lowincome families (Chapter 1), as well as

the special educational needs of

migratory children (MEP). Specifically,

the audit determinations, made by an

independent auditor acting under the

Single Audit Act of 1984 and upheld by

the SEA, found that varying percentages

of salaries and fringe benefits of five

LEA employees tested were charged to

Chapter 1 during FY 1990. The auditors

also questioned the portion of salary

and fringe benefits for one LEA

employee charged to the Chapter 1 MEP.

In addition, no time distribution records

were available to support the charges to

either program. Finally, the auditors

disclosed that the early retirement pay

for one employee was divided equally

between the Chapter 1 program and the

MEP, even though the employee had

worked on these programs for only three

of a total of twenty-two years with the

district. The auditors, therefore,

questioned 19/22 of the early retirement

cost charged to Chapter 1 and the MEP

grants ($1,813.64 to each). Altogether,

disputed costs totaled $31,396.39 for the

Chapter 1 grant, and $10,866 for the

MEP grant.

The SEA, on August 24, 1992,

requested a refund of the full amount of

questioned costs from KCSD. On

September 15, 1992, the SEA submitted

a check to the U.S. Department of

Education in the amount of $66,395.52,

which included a recovery of

$31,396.39 for the Chapter 1 program, as

well as $10,866 related to the MEP. The

remaining $24,133.13 resulted from

audit recoveries from other Federal

programs and are not part of this

grantback notice.

B. Authority for Awarding a Grantback

Section 459(a) of GEPA, 20 U.S.C.

1234h(a), provides that whenever the

Secretary has recovered program funds

following a final audit determination,

the Secretary may consider those funds

to be additional funds available for the

program and may arrange to repay to the

SEA or LEA affected by that

determination an amount not to exceed

75 percent of the recovered funds. The

Secretary may enter into this grantback

arrangement if the Secretary determines

that the—
