DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Office of Postsecondary Education
Federal Work-Study Programs
AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice of closing dates for institutions that participate in
the Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program to submit the Campus-Based
Reallocation Form (ED Form E40-4P).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Secretary gives notice to institutions of higher education
of the deadlines for an institution that participated in the FWS
Program for the 1994-95 award year (July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995)
to submit its Campus-Based Reallocation Form. An institution that
participated in the FWS Program for the 1994-95 award year must
complete and submit the Campus-Based Reallocation Form. The Campus-
Based Reallocation Form collects FWS community service information for
the 1994-95 award year. The information collected is used to determine
whether an institution is eligible to receive supplemental FWS funds
for the 1995-96 award year (July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996) and
whether an institution met the minimum 5 percent community service
expenditure requirement for the 1994-95 award year.
DATES: Closing Dates for Submitting a Campus-Based Reallocation Form.
If an institution that participated in the FWS Program for the 1994-95
award year wants to ensure that it will be considered for supplemental
FWS funds for the 1995-96 award year, the institution must submit the
Campus-Based Reallocation Form by July 28, 1995. If an institution that
participated in the FWS Program for the 1994-95 award year does not
want to be considered for supplemental FWS funds for the 1995-96 award
year, the institution must submit the Campus-Based Reallocation Form by
November 3, 1995. The institution must return the ED Form E40-4P
containing an original signature. The Department will not accept a form
submitted by facsimile transmission.
ADDRESSES: Campus-Based Reallocation Form Delivered by Mail. The
Campus-Based Reallocation Form delivered by mail must be addressed to
the U.S. Department of Education, SFAP, AFMS, Institutional Financial
Management Division, (Room 4714, ROB-3), 600 Independence Avenue, SW.,
Washington, D.C. 20202-5458. An applicant must show proof of mailing
consisting of one of the following: (1) A legibly dated U.S. Postal
Service postmark; (2) a legible mail receipt with the date of the
mailing stamped by the U.S. Postal Service; (3) a dated shipping label,
invoice, or receipt from a commercial carrier; or (4) any other proof
of mailing acceptable to the Secretary of Education.
If a Campus-Based Reallocation Form is sent through the U.S. Postal
Service, the Secretary does not accept either of the following as proof
of mailing: (1) A private metered postmark, or (2) a mail receipt that
is not dated by the U.S. Postal Service. An institution should note
that the U.S. Postal Service does not uniformly provide a dated
postmark. Before relying on this method, an institution should check
with its local post office. An institution is encouraged to use
certified or at least first-class mail.
Campus-Based Reallocation Form Delivered by Hand. A Campus-Based
Reallocation Form delivered by hand must be taken to Ms. Carolyn Short,
Campus-Based Financial Operations Branch, Institutional Financial
Management Division, Accounting and Financial Management Service,

Sundays, and Federal holidays. A Campus-Based Reallocation form that is

[[Page 33394]] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will
reallocate unexpended FWS Federal funds from the 1994-95 award year as
supplemental allocations for the 1995-96 award year under the FWS
program. Supplemental allocations will be issued this fall in
accordance with the reallocation procedures contained in the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). Under section 442(e) of the
HEA, unexpended FWS funds returned to the Secretary must be reallocated
to eligible institutions that used at least 10 percent of the total FWS
Federal funds granted to the institution to compensate students
employed in community services. Because reallocated FWS funds will be
distributed on the basis of fair share shortfall criteria, institutions
must also have a fair share shortfall to receive these funds.
Institutions must use all the reallocated FWS Federal funds to
compensate students employed in community services. To ensure
consideration for supplemental FWS Federal funds for the 1995-96 award
year, an institution must submit the Campus-Based Reallocation Form by
July 28, 1995.
The Department will determine if an institution participating in
the FWS program met the statutory requirement of expending at least 5
percent of its total 1994-95 FWS Federal funds to pay students employed
in community service jobs. Under section 443(b)(2)(A) of the HEA, for
the 1994-95 award year and succeeding award years, an institution must
use at least 5 percent of the total amount of FWS Federal funds granted
to such institution to compensate students employed in community
service, unless the Secretary approves a waiver. A participating FWS
institution that does not want to be considered for supplemental FWS
Federal funds for the 1995-96 award year must submit the Campus-Based
Reallocation Form by November 3, 1995.
