Applications for New Awards; Comprehensive Centers Program (CFDA 84.283B); Correction

AGENCY:

Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, Department of Education.

ACTION:

Notice; correction.

SUMMARY:

On June 6, 2012, we published in the Federal Register (77 FR 33564) a notice inviting applications for new awards using fiscal year (FY) 2012 funds for the Comprehensive Centers program (2012 notice). The 2012 notice erroneously listed deadline dates for intergovernmental review under Executive Order (EO) 12372 and its implementing regulations in 34 CFR part 79. The Secretary had decided to waive the EO 12372 review of the 2012 notice, as authorized under part 79, but the notice did not reflect that decision. The Secretary made the decision to waive this review because we would otherwise not be able to make timely grant awards for the Comprehensive Centers program for FY 2012. We are correcting the 2012 notice to remove the requirement that applicants submit their applications for intergovernmental review.
