Abstract: This submittal contains 

burden information and the actual 

background worksheets/questionnaires 

for the following components of the 

2010 NAEP assessments: 

• SD (Student with Disabilities)

Worksheets/Questionnaires–Grades 4, 8, 

12. 

NAEP encourages the inclusion of all 

students who can meaningfully 

participate in the assessment, including 

those with disabilities and English 

language learners. In order to obtain a 

complete picture of educational 

progress for all students, it is important 

to collect supplemental information on 

students in the sample who have been 

identified as having a disability or are 

English language learners. SD and ELL 

worksheets/questionnaires are 

completed by school personnel who are 

most knowledgeable about students 

identified as SD or ELL.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

[CFDA No. 84.382B] 

Asian American and Native American 

Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions 

Program 

AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary 

Education, Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to fund down 

the fiscal year (FY) 2008 grant slate for 

the Asian American and Native 

American Pacific Islander-Serving 

Institutions (AANAPISI) Program. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary intends to use 

the grant slate developed in FY 2008 for 

the AANAPISI Program authorized 

under Title III, Part F, Section 371 of the 

Higher Education Act of 1965, as 

amended (HEA), to make new grant 

awards in FY 2009 under Section 320 of 

the HEA. The Secretary takes this action 

because a number of high-quality 

applications remain on last year’s grant 

slate. We expect to use an estimated 

$2,500,000 for new awards in FY 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background 

On May 12, 2008, we published a 

notice in the Federal Register (73 FR 

26970) inviting applications for new 

awards under Title III, Part F, Section 

371 of the HEA for the AANAPISI 

Program. 

In response to this notice, we received 

a number of high-quality applications 

for grants under the AANAPISI Program 

and made 6 new grant awards. However, 

there were applications that were 

awarded high scores by peer reviewers 

that did not receive funding in FY 2008 

due to the level of appropriations. 

The Department’s FY 2009 

appropriation for Section 371 of the 

HEA is sufficient to allow the 

Department to make continuation 

awards to the 6 current grantees. Rather 

than using program funds for a new peer 

review process for new grants under the 

Asian American and Native American 

Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions 

Program authorized under Section 320, 

the Department has decided to select 

grantees in FY 2009 from the existing 

slate of applicants. This slate was 

developed during the FY 2008 

competition using the selection criteria, 

application requirements, and 

definitions referenced in the May 12, 

2008 Federal Register notice. 

Note: To be eligible to receive a grant 

pursuant to this notice, all applicants being 

considered for funding based on the funding 

slate for the FY 2008 competition must meet 

all statutory and regulatory, basic and 

programmatic, eligibility criteria and other 

requirements for this program.
