SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Career Clusters Initiative began in 1996 as the Building Linkages Initiative and was a collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of Education, the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE), the National School-to-Work Office (NSTWO) and the National Skill Standards Board (NSSB). The purpose of the Initiative was to establish linkages among State educational agencies, secondary and postsecondary educational institutions, employers, industry groups, other stakeholders and Federal agencies. The goal was to create curricular frameworks in broad career clusters, designed to prepare students to transition successfully from high school to postsecondary education and employment in a career area, or both. Two Career Cluster projects (Health Science and Manufacturing) have completed their final year of development. Arts/Audio Video Technology and Communications, Information Technology and the Transportation/Distribution, and Logistics projects were funded by contract and began in the fall of 1999, under authority of the Carl D. Perkins Act of 1990 (Perkins II).
The Career Clusters Initiative continues to evolve and expand based on lessons learned from these earlier efforts. The creation of curricular models within the context of broad career clusters ensures the alignment of academic and technical instructional strategies with the requirements of postsecondary education and the expectations of employers in increasingly academic and technologically demanding careers.
Education officials across the country are continuously being challenged to demonstrate that their students are achieving high levels of academic and technical competency. Curriculum strategies, developed through the Career Clusters Initiative, can increase student achievement by providing a context in which challenging math, science, language arts and other academic subjects can be made relevant to students and to their postsecondary education and career choices. Students who, in addition to meeting State academic requirements, can also meet standards related to their Career Cluster will be well prepared to transition to postsecondary education, employment in their career of choice, or both.
The vocational education field has historically responded to the needs of the national economy by preparing individuals to enter jobs in demand. Vocational education played a vital role helping our nation transition from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy through education and training. Today, schools are faced with the new challenge of helping our nation and its people transition from an industrial economy to a “new knowledge” economy. In response to this challenge, OVAE recently adopted 16 Career Clusters that redefine the role of vocational education. Organizing schools around Career Clusters provides an ideal mechanism for high school reform efforts and establishes a structure that promotes and sustains the components of school-to-work.
Through the cooperative agreements awarded under this Career Clusters competition, the U.S. Department of Education, in cooperation with the National School-to-Work Office, will facilitate the completion of the remaining 11 Career Clusters. The Secretary will fund these cooperative agreements under authority of section 114(c)(6)(A) of Perkins III. Under this provision, the Secretary is authorized to carry out demonstration vocational and technical education programs, to replicate model vocational and technical education programs, to disseminate best practices information, and to provide technical assistance upon the request of a State, for the purposes of developing, improving, and identifying the most successful methods and techniques for providing vocational and technical education programs assisted under Perkins III.
By awarding cooperative agreements under section 114(c)(6)(A) of Perkins III, the Secretary hopes to work more closely with State consortia to assist them in their development of vocational education curricular frameworks. It is the Secretary's intent that the curricular frameworks developed by States for the eleven career areas listed in Appendix A to this notice will serve to better meet the academic and training needs of students seeking postsecondary education, or employment in one of these career areas, or both.
The projects funded through these cooperative agreements will be required to use the established standards-based Career Cluster framework (see “Required Activities”) for Career Clusters previously funded, as the blueprint for development activities.
Required Activities
(a) Under this competition, for each Career Cluster project, grantees must carry out thirteen tasks which, when completed, form the Career Cluster Framework:
(1) Establish an Advisory Consortium and an Executive Committee. The appropriate selection of these partners is crucial to ensure an end product that is recognized by all stakeholders and of value for States.
(2) Identify the education and industry certificates, as well as postsecondary degree options (including entry-level through management/professional career opportunities) available to students and recognized by employers.
(3) Organize or subdivide the occupations, within each cluster, into pathways or concentrations that group the cluster occupations based on commonalities.
(4) Identify existing and/or establish broad career-cluster-related standards with specific content standards for the cluster, as well as for the pathways that are State-recognized.
(5) Establish suggested curriculum guidelines for cluster and pathway content standards.
(6) Select a minimum of ten high schools to pilot the established cluster and pathway content standards.
(7) Conduct pilot testing of the cluster and pathway content standards.
(8) Connect existing and/or develop State assessment instruments agreed upon by the States for cluster and pathway content standards that are recognized by both employers and postsecondary education institutions.
(9) Establish a portable skill certification program agreed upon by the States that documents student mastery of cluster and pathway content standards that are recognized by employers and postsecondary education institutions.
(10) Conduct pilot testing of the assessment instruments and portable skill certificate processes at the selected pilot sites.
(11) Develop rollout strategies for implementing the completed cluster project to other States and to territories.
(12) Establish a structure and strategies for ensuring sustainability of the Advisory Consortium and Executive Committee after completion of the Career Cluster project.
(13) Develop strategies for professional development and teacher preparation within the Career Cluster.

Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs
This program is subject to the requirements of Executive Order 12372 (Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs) and the regulations in 34 CFR part 79.
One of the objectives of the Executive order is to foster an intergovernmental partnership and a strengthened federalism. The Executive order relies on processes developed by State and local governments for coordination and review of proposed Federal financial assistance.
If you are an applicant, you must contact the appropriate State Single Point of Contact (SPOC) to find out about, and to comply with, the State's process under Executive Order 12372. If you propose to perform activities in more than one State, you should immediately contact the SPOC for each of those States and follow the procedures established in each State under the Executive order. If you want to know the name and address of any State Single Point of Contact (SPOC), see the list published in the Federal Register on April 28, 1999 (64 FR 22963), or you may view the latest SPOC list on the web site of the Office of Management and Budget at the following address: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants
In States that have not established a process or chosen a program for review, State, area-wide, regional, and local entities may submit comments directly to the Department.
Any State Process Recommendation and other comments submitted by a SPOC and any comments from State, area-wide, regional, and local entities must be mailed or hand-delivered by the date indicated in this application notice to the following address: The Secretary, E.O. 12372-CFDA No: 84.051B, U.S. Department of Education, Room 7E200, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20202-0125.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ABOVE ADDRESS IS NOT THE SAME ADDRESS AS THE ONE TO WHICH THE APPLICANT SUBMITS ITS COMPLETED APPLICATION. DO NOT SEND APPLICATIONS TO THE ABOVE ADDRESS.
Waiver of Rulemaking
Under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) the Department generally offers interested parties the opportunity to comment on proposed regulations. However, in order to make timely cooperative agreement awards in FY 2001, the Secretary has decided to issue this application notice with program requirements and selection criteria without first publishing the notice for public comment. These requirements and criteria will apply to the FY 2001 cooperative agreement competition. The Secretary takes this action under authority of section 437(d)(1) of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA). Section 437(d)(1) of GEPA exempts from formal rulemaking requirements, regulations governing the first grant competition under a new or substantially revised program authority (20 U.S.C. 1232(d)(1)). The program authority for Vocational Education National Activities was substantially revised on October 31, 1998 by Public Law 105-332. Any requirements or criteria that the Department establishes in future years, will be published in proposed form in the Federal Register with an opportunity for interested parties to comment.
