financial assistance.

Applicants must contact the appropriate State Single Point of Contact to

immediately contact the Single Point of Contact for each of those States and follow

the procedure established in each of those States under the Executive order. A

STATE SINGLE POINTS OF CONTACT (SPOCs)

It is estimated that in 2004 the Federal Government will outlay $400 billion in grants toState and local governments. Executive Order 12372, "Intergovernmental Review of FederalPrograms," was issued with the desire to foster the intergovernmental partnership and strengthenfederalism by relying on State and local processes for the coordination and review of proposed

Federal financial assistance and direct Federal development. The Order allows each State todesignate an entity to perform this function. Below is the official list of those entities. For thoseStates that have a home page for their designated entity, a direct link has been provided on theofficial version: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants/spoc.html.

States that are not listed on this page have chosen not to participate in theintergovernmental review process, and therefore do not have a SPOC. If you are locatedwithin one of these States, you may still send application materials directly to a Federalawarding agency.

Contact information for Federal agencies that award grants can be found in Appendix IV ofthe Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance.[http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_CATALOG_DYN.show]

NOTICE TO ALL APPLICANTS

The purpose of this enclosure is to inform you abouta new provision in the Department of Education'sGeneral Education Provisions Act (GEPA) thatapplies to applicants for new grant awards underDepartment programs. This provision is Section 427of GEPA, enacted as part of the Improving America'sSchools Act of 1994 (Public Law (P.L.) 103-382).

To Whom Does This Provision Apply?

Section 427 of GEPA affects applicants for new grantawards under this program. ALL APPLICANTSFOR NEW AWARDS MUST INCLUDE

INFORMATION IN THEIR APPLICATIONS TO

ADDRESS THIS NEW PROVISION IN ORDER

TO RECEIVE FUNDING UNDER THIS

PROGRAM.

(If this program is a State-formula grant program, aState needs to provide this description only for

projects or activities that it carries out with fundsreserved for State-level uses. In addition, localschool districts or other eligible applicants that applyto the State for funding need to provide thisdescription in their applications to the State forfunding. The State would be responsible for ensuringthat the school district or other local entity hassubmitted a sufficient section 427 statement asdescribed below.)

What Does This Provision Require?

Section 427 requires each applicant for funds (other

than an individual person) to include in itsapplication a description of the steps the applicantproposes to take to ensure equitable access to, and participation in, its Federally-assisted program forstudents, teachers, and other program beneficiarieswith special needs. This provision allows applicantsdiscretion in developing the required description.The statute highlights six types of barriers that canimpede equitable access or participation: gender,race, national origin, color, disability, or age. Basedon local circumstances, you should determinewhether these or other barriers may prevent yourstudents, teachers, etc. from such access or participation in, the Federally-funded project oractivity. The description in your application of stepsto be taken to overcome these barriers need not belengthy; you may provide a clear and succinct

description of how you plan to address those barriersthat are applicable to your circumstances. Inaddition, the information may be provided in a singlenarrative, or, if appropriate, may be discussed inconnection with related topics in the application.

Section 427 is not intended to duplicate the

requirements of civil rights statutes, but rather toensure that, in designing their projects, applicants forFederal funds address equity concerns that may affectthe ability of certain potential beneficiaries to fully participate in the project and to achieve to highstandards. Consistent with program requirements andits approved application, an applicant may use theFederal funds awarded to it to eliminate barriers itidentifies.

What are Examples of How an Applicant Might

Satisfy the Requirement of This Provision?

The following examples may help illustrate how anapplicant may comply with Section 427.

(1) An applicant that proposes to carry out anadult literacy project serving, among others,adults with limited English proficiency, mightdescribe in its application how it intends todistribute a brochure about the proposed projectto such potential participants in their nativelanguage.

(2) An applicant that proposes to developinstructional materials for classroom use might

describe how it will make the materials availableon audio tape or in braille for students who areblind.

(3) An applicant that proposes to carry out amodel science program for secondary studentsand is concerned that girls may be less likelythan boys to enroll in the course, might indicatehow it intends to conduct "outreach" efforts togirls, to encourage their enrollment.

We recognize that many applicants may already beimplementing effective steps to ensure equity ofaccess and participation in their grant programs, andwe appreciate your cooperation in responding to therequirements of this provision.

Information on theGovernment PerformanceAnd Results Act (GPRA)

What is GPRA?

The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 is a straightforward statute thatrequires all federal agencies to manage their activities with attention to the consequencesof those activities. Each agency is to clearly state what it intends to accomplish, identifythe resources required, and periodically report their progress to the Congress. In doing so,it is expected that the GPRA will contribute to improvements in accountability for theexpenditures of public funds, improve Congressional decision-making through moreobjective information on the effectiveness of federal programs, and promote a newgovernment focus on results, service delivery, and customer satisfaction.

How has the Department of Education Responded to the GPRA Requirements?

As required by GPRA, the Department of Education has prepared a strategic plan for 2002-2007. This plan reflects the Departments priorities and integrates them with its missionand program authorities and describes how the Department will work to improve educationfor all children and adults in the United States. The Departments goals, as listed in theplan, are:

Goal 1: Create a Culture of AchievementGoal 2: Improve Student Achievement.

Goal 3: Develop Safe Schools and Strong Character

Goal 4: Transform Education into an Evidence-based FieldGoal 5: Enhance the Quality of and Access to Postsecondary and Adult

Education

Goal 6: Establish Management Excellence

The performance indicator for the Child Care Access Means Parents in School Program ispart of the Departments plan for Goal 5: Enhance the quality of and access topostsecondary and adult education. Among the Departments objectives for Goal 5 is toreduce the gaps in college access and completion among student populations differing by

race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and disability while increasing the educationalattainment of all.
