AGENCY:

Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, Department of Education.

ACTION:

Notice; correction.

SUMMARY:

On July 3, 2019, we published in the Federal Register a notice inviting applications (NIA) for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2019 for CSP—Grants to Charter School Developers for the Opening of New Charter Schools and for the Replication and Expansion of High-Quality Charter Schools, Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) numbers 84.282B and 84.282E. This notice corrects footnote 6 by adding “Massachusetts” to the list of States that have approved amendment requests that authorize the State educational agency (SEA) to make subgrants for replication and expansion, thereby making developers located in Massachusetts ineligible to apply for this grant competition.

DATES:

This correction is applicable August 1, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On July 3, 2019, we published in the Federal Register a notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2019 for CSP—Grants to Charter School Developers for the Opening of New Charter Schools and for the Replication and Expansion of High-Quality Charter Schools (84 FR 31852). This notice corrects footnote 6 by adding “Massachusetts” to the list of States that have approved amendment requests that authorize the SEA to make subgrants for replication and expansion, thereby making developers located in Massachusetts ineligible to apply for this grant competition.

Correction

In FR Doc. 2019-14267, we are revising footnote 6 on page 31858 in the first column to read as follows: States in which the SEA currently has an approved CSP SEA grant application under the ESEA, as amended by NCLB (i.e., a grant award made in fiscal year 2016 or earlier), and have approved amendment requests that authorize the SEA to make subgrants for replication and expansion, include California, District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Nevada, Ohio, and Oregon. We will not consider applications from applicants in these States under CFDA 84.282E either.
