AGENCY:

Office of Innovation and Improvement, Department of Education.

ACTION:

Notice; correction.

SUMMARY:

On April 20, 2017, we published in the Federal Register a notice inviting applications for new awards (NIA) for fiscal year (FY) 2017 for the Supporting Effective Educator Development program. On May 8, 2017, we published in the Federal Register a notice extending the deadlines for transmittal of applications and intergovernmental review.

This notice of correction removes one of the selection criteria from the NIA and extends the deadlines for transmittal of applications and intergovernmental review. All other requirements and conditions stated in the notice inviting applications remain the same.

DATES:

 

Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: June 23, 2017.

Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: August 22, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On April 20, 2017, we published, in the Federal Register (82 FR 18619), a notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2017 for the SEED program. We are removing the fourth factor under the selection criterion for the Quality of the Management Plan. We are removing the fourth factor under the Quality of the Management Plan selection criterion because it was inadvertently duplicated. This factor is already listed under the Significance selection criterion and will remain under that criterion. With the removal of this factor, the Quality of Management Plan selection criterion will now have three factors by which it will be scored.

Due to the changes to the selection criteria, we are extending the deadlines for transmittal of applications and intergovernmental review to June 23, 2017 and August 22, 2017, respectively. This will ensure applicants have sufficient time to respond to the changes in their applications.

All other requirements and conditions stated in the NIA remain the same.
