Correction In the Federal Register issue of April 9, 1998, in FR Doc. 98-9344, on pages 17639 and 17640, the ``INSTRUCTIONS FOR PART III: APPLICATION NARRATIVE'' are corrected to read: INSTRUCTIONS FOR PART III: APPLICATION NARRATIVE Before preparing the Application Narrative an applicant should read carefully the description of the program, the background of the program, application requirements, and the selection criteria the Secretary will use to evaluate these applications. The narrative should encompass each function or activity for which funds are being requested and should-- 1. Begin with an Abstract that summarizes the proposed project; [[Page 20174]] 2. Describe the proposed project in light of the application requirements and each of the selection criteria in the order in which the criteria are listed in the application; and 3. Include any other pertinent information that might assist the Secretary in reviewing the application. The Secretary strongly requests the applicant to limit the Application Narrative to no more than 20 pages (double-spaced, typed on one-side only, using font no smaller than 11 point). The Department has found that successful applications for similar programs generally meet this page limit. In addition to the Application Narrative, the applicant must include the cover form (SF-424), budget forms and budget narrative, assurances, and a statement regarding how the application meets the requirements of GEPA 427. Any supplemental attachments should be limited to those that are crucial to supporting the integrity of the applicant's project and how it has met application requirements. Dated: April 17, 1998. Gerald N. Tirozzi, Assistant Secretary, Elementary and Secondary Education. [FR Doc. 98-10866 Filed 4-22-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4000-01-P
