SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Available Funds The Secretary is publishing this notice in order to give potential applicants adequate time to prepare applications. The amounts of funds listed as available for these programs are estimates and are based on the recently passed FY 1999 appropriation for the Department of Education. Potential applicants should note, however, that some of the competitions listed in this notice may be canceled and some new competitions not listed in this notice may be announced. Estimated Range and Average Size of Awards Except for programs and competitions administered by the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), columns six and seven list estimated ranges and average size of awards. The amounts referenced in these columns are advisory and represent the Secretary's best estimates at this time. The average size of an award is the estimate for a single-year project or for the first budget period of a multi-year project. In the application package for an individual program or competition, applicants will receive information about the amount the Secretary intends to make available for each year of a multi-year project. In the case of programs and competitions administered by the principal components of OSERS, the charts differ with regard to the amount of awards. For programs and competitions of this program office, column six of the charts lists the actual or estimated maximum amount the Secretary will award per year. Applicants will receive further information about funding amounts in the application packages for the individual programs. In the case of programs and competitions administered by the Office of Postsecondary Education, please note that the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (Pub.L. 105-244, enacted October 7, 1998) may significantly affect the discretionary grant program competitions and timelines in the chart. Actual deadline dates will appear in the application notices published in the Federal Register. Note: The Department is not bound by any of the estimates in this document. The dates, fiscal information, and number of new awards listed are estimates only and, thus, subject to change. Readers are advised to read the actual individual application notices for these programs or competitions when the notices are published in the Federal Register. Applicability of the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act of 1990 The programs identified in the chart make discretionary awards subject to the eligibility requirements of the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-647; 28 U.S.C. 3201). The Act provides that if there is a judgement lien against a debtor's [[Page 59437]] property for a debt to the United States, the debtor is not eligible to receive a Federal grant or loan, except direct payments to which the debtor is entitled as beneficiary, until the judgement is paid in full or otherwise satisfied.

Appendix--Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs This appendix applies to each program that is subject to the requirements of Executive Order 12372 (Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs) and the regulations in 34 CFR part 79. The objective of the Executive order is to foster an intergovernmental partnership and to strengthen federalism by relying on State and local processes for State and local coordination and review of proposed Federal financial assistance. Applicants must contact the appropriate State Single Point of Contact to find out about, and to comply with, the State's process under Executive Order 12372. Applicants proposing to perform activities in more than one State should 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 listing containing the Single Point of Contact for each State is included in this appendix. In States that have not established a process or chosen a program for review, State, areawide, regional, and local entities may submit comments directly to the Department. Any State Process Recommendation and other comments submitted by a State Single Point of Contact and any comments from State, areawide, regional, and local entities must be mailed or hand- delivered by the date indicated in the actual application notice to the following address: The Secretary, EO 12372-CFDA# [commenter must insert number--including suffix letter, if any], U.S. Department of Education, room 6213, 600 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20202-0124.
