consortium arrangement will be

approved, but only State D, and not

State C, will receive an incentive grant.

From the information that an SEA

submits, the Department will calculate,

for each State, the total percentage

increase in MEP funds available for

direct services as a result of all the

approved consortium arrangements in

which an applicant SEA participates.

The Department will then rank these

percentages in descending order and

divide the distribution into thirds (that

is, by terciles). Each SEA ranked in the

highest third of the distribution will

receive an incentive grant that is threetimes the size of the grant received by

each SEA ranked in the lowest third,

while each SEA ranked in the middle

third will receive an incentive grant that

is twice the size of that provided to each

SEA ranked in the lowest third. Within

each third, grant awards will be of equal

size, except that adjustments will be

made so that no consortium incentive

grant will be greater than $250,000 or

100 percent of the amount of funds

awarded to the SEA under its formula

grant allocation, whichever is less.

An SEA may use incentive grant

funds awarded under section 1308(d) of

the ESEA only to provide direct services

to migratory children. These funds are

in addition to, and not in place of, the

funds awarded under the MEP formula

grant.

The Secretary implements section

1308(d) in this way in order to (1)

reward all SEAs whose participation in

consortium arrangements increases

direct services to migratory children in

their State, (2) provide larger awards to

those SEAs whose consortium

arrangements most enhance their

capacity to deliver direct services, and

(3) ensure that FY 1995 funds under this

program are available to SEAs as soon

as possible.

Because of the criteria and procedures

announced in this notice for awarding

FY 1995 consortium incentive grants,

the regulations and selection criteria

contained in 34 CFR Part 205 (Migrant

Education Coordination Program) do not

apply to this competition.

Applicability of the Education

Department General Administrative

Regulations (EDGAR)

In view of the process that the

Department will use to obtain

information on proposed SEA

consortium arrangements, and the

criteria it will use to determine, by

formula, the amount of consortium

incentive grant that each applicant SEA

will receive, the regulations in 34 CFR

Part 75 (Direct Grant Programs) of the

Education Department General

Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) do

not apply. Instead, the incentive grant

program is being administered, like the

MEP itself, under the provisions of 34

CFR Parts 76, 77, 80, 81, 85, and 86 of

EDGAR.
