                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                Full Text of Announcement
                I. Funding Opportunity Description
                 Purpose of Program: The purposes of the STEP program are to: (1)
                Promote Tribal self-determination in education; (2) improve the
                academic achievement of Indian children and youth; and (3) promote the
                coordination and collaboration of Tribal educational agencies (TEAs)
                with State educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies
                (LEAs) to meet the unique education and culturally related academic
                needs of Indian students.
                 Background:
                 STEP was revised under section 6132 of the Elementary and Secondary
                Education Act (ESEA) to include one-year grants to Indian Tribes (as
                defined in this notice) that do not have a TEA, or Tribal organizations
                approved by an Indian Tribe that do not have a TEA, to develop a TEA.
                 Our intent for this competition is to provide one-year grants to
                support Tribes' creation of TEAs (as defined in this notice) so that
                they will be eligible to apply for a three-year STEP grant in future
                fiscal years. Therefore, we have designed elements of this competition
                to maximize alignment between the one- and three-year programs. For
                example, in order to receive funding, an applicant must demonstrate
                that it has at least one full-time employee on staff who works
                exclusively on education issues. We believe that it will be critically
                important for Indian Tribes receiving a one-year STEP grant to have
                staff in place from the beginning of their projects in order to
                successfully meet program outcomes and have a TEA in place by the end
                of the project period and, thus, be eligible to compete for a three-
                year grant in future fiscal years. We also require that, at the end of
                the one-year project, grantees be able to demonstrate that they meet
                the program outcomes and have at least two other characteristics of a
                successful TEA, in addition to having at least one full-time employee
                dedicated to education issues.
                 In accordance with the Department's commitment to engage in regular
                and meaningful consultation and collaboration with Indian Tribes, the
                Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), Office of Indian
                Education (OIE), and the White House Initiative on American Indian and
                Alaska Native Education conducted a Tribal Consultation regarding the
                reauthorized STEP program. Consistent with the Department's trust
                responsibility to Tribes and its Tribal Consultation Policy, OESE
                consulted with elected officials of federally recognized Tribes to
                ensure that their views inform OESE's policy decisions related to the
                priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria that
                govern this competition. OIE will respond to the Tribal Consultation in
                a separate correspondence. At the Tribal Consultation there was
                significant interest in providing opportunities for Tribes that do not
                have a TEA to create one. This notice respects this Tribal interest by
                is establishing an invitational priority, definitions, and requirements
                consistent with supporting the creation of new TEAs.
                 In addition, the Department remains focused on supporting
                innovative strategies for improving delivery of educational services to
                the Nation's students, consistent with the Secretary's Supplemental
                Priority entitled ``Promoting Innovation and Efficiency, Streamlining
                Education with an Increased Focus on Improving Student Outcomes, and
                Providing Increased Value to Students and Taxpayers'' (83 FR 9096). In
                the context of the FY 2019 STEP competition, we are especially
                interested in Tribes' and Tribal organizations' approaches to forming
                TEAs that are well-positioned to deliver services that will meet the
                specific needs of the Native students in their communities, further
                promoting Tribal self-determination in education. We believe that
                applicants may be better positioned to create successful and
                sustainable TEAs if they work closely with other organizations in the
                community from the beginning. For example, we believe that engaging
                meaningfully with community stakeholders may help Tribes lay the
                groundwork for how their TEAs will develop school improvement plans or
                native language assessments, or revise schoolwide project plans, under
                Title I, Part A of the ESEA. Therefore, we are including an
                invitational priority in this competition for applicants that propose
                to engage with other stakeholders in the community, such as nonprofit
                organizations, private organizations, and local businesses, in
                designing their TEA.
                 Priority: Under this competition we are particularly interested in
                applications that address the following priority.
                 Invitational Priority: For FY 2019 and any subsequent year in which
                we make awards from the list of unfunded applications from this
                competition, this priority is an invitational priority. Under 34 CFR
                75.105(c)(1) we do not give an application that meets this invitational
                priority a competitive or absolute preference over other applications.
                 This priority is:
                [[Page 27620]]
                 Promoting Sustainability through Community Engagement.
                 This priority is for applicants who propose to develop their TEA in
                coordination with local stakeholders, such as nonprofit organizations,
                private organizations, and local businesses, for the purposes of (1)
                improving alignment of planned educational services to be delivered by
                the TEA with the needs of Native students in the community and (2)
                ensuring sustained community engagement at the end of the 12-month
                project.
                 Requirements: We are establishing these application and program
                requirements for the FY 2019 grant competition, and any subsequent year
                in which we make awards from the list of unfunded applications from
                this competition, in accordance with section 437(d)(1) of the General

                kind resources from the Tribe dedicated to supporting Tribal students'
                education;
                 (f) a description of the method to be used for evaluating the

                Determination and Education Assistance Act (Pub. L. 93-638). That
                section requires that, to the greatest extent feasible, a grantee--
                 (1) give to Indians preferences and opportunities for training and
                employment in connection with the administration of the grant; and
                 (2) give to Indian organizations and to Indian-owned economic
                enterprises, as defined in section 3 of the Indian Financing Act of
                1974 (25 U.S.C. 1452(e)), preference in the award of contracts in
                connection with the administration of the grant.
                 (b) For purposes of this section, an Indian is a member of any
                federally recognized Indian tribe.
                 Definitions: The definitions of ``Indian Tribe'' and ``Tribal
                educational agency'' are from section 6132 of the ESEA. The definition
                of ``relevant outcome'' is from 34 CFR 77.1(c). We are establishing the
                definition of ``Tribal Organization'' for the FY 2019 grant
                competition, and any subsequent year in which we make awards from the
                list of unfunded applications from this competition, in accordance with
                section 437(d)(1) of GEPA, 20 U.S.C. 1232(d)(1). The following
                definitions apply to this competition:
                 Indian Tribe means a federally-recognized or a State-recognized
                Tribe.
                 Relevant outcome means the student outcome(s) or other outcome(s)
                the key project component is designed to achieve, consistent with the
                specific goals of the program.
                 Tribal educational agency (TEA) means the agency, department, or
                instrumentality of an Indian Tribe that is primarily responsible for
                supporting Tribal students' elementary and secondary education.
                 Note: For purposes of this program, this term also includes an
                agency, department, or instrumentality of more than one Tribe, if the
                Tribes are in close geographic proximity to each other.
                 Tribal organization means an Indian organization that--
                 (1) Is legally established--
                 (i) By Tribal or inter-Tribal charter or in accordance with State
                or Tribal law; and
                 (ii) With appropriate constitution, by-laws, or articles of
                incorporation;
                 (2) Includes in its purposes the promotion of the education of
                Indians;
                 (3) Is controlled by a governing board, the majority of which is
                Indian;
                 (4) If located on an Indian reservation, operates with the sanction
                of or by charter from the governing body of that reservation;
                 (5) Is neither an organization or subdivision of, nor under the
                direct
                [[Page 27621]]
                control of, any institution of higher education; and
                 (6) Is not an agency of State or local government.
                 Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking: Under the Administrative Procedure
                Act (5 U.S.C. 553) the Department generally offers interested parties
                the opportunity to comment on proposed requirements and definitions.
                Section 437(d)(1) of GEPA, however, allows the Secretary to exempt from
                rulemaking requirements regulations governing the first grant
                competition under a new or substantially revised program authority.
                This is the first grant competition for this program under section 6132
                of the ESEA (20 U.S.C. 7452), and, therefore, qualifies for this
                exemption. In order to ensure timely grant awards, the Secretary has
                decided to forgo public comment on the requirements and definitions
                under section 437(d)(1) of GEPA. These requirements and definitions
                will apply to the FY 2019 competition, and any subsequent year in which
                we make awards from the list of unfunded applications from this
                competition.
                 Program Authority: The program is authorized under section
                6132(c)(1) of the ESEA, Grants To Tribes For Education, Administrative
                Planning, Development, And Coordination, 20 U.S.C. 7452.

                funds under this section may be used to provide direct services.
                 We reference additional regulations outlining funding restrictions
                in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice.
                 4. Recommended Page Limit:
                 The application narrative is where you, the applicant, address the
                selection criteria that reviewers use to evaluate your application. We
                recommend that you (1) limit the application narrative to no more than
                50 pages and (2) use the following standards:
                 A ``page'' is 8.5'' x 11'', on one side only, with 1''
                margins at the top, bottom, and both sides.
                 Double-space (no more than three lines per vertical inch)
                all text in the application narrative, including titles, headings,
                footnotes, quotations, references, and captions, as well as all text in
                charts, tables, figures, and graphs.
                 Use a font that is either 12 point or larger or no smaller
                than 10 pitch (characters per inch).
                 Use one of the following fonts: Times New Roman, Courier,
                Courier New, or Arial.
                 The recommended page limit does not apply to the cover sheet; the
                budget section, including the narrative budget justification; the
                assurances and certifications; or the one-page abstract, the resumes,
                the bibliography, or the letters of support. However, the recommended
                page limit does apply to all of the application narrative.
                 5. Notice of Intent to Apply: The Department will be able to review
                grant applications more efficiently if we know the approximate number
                of applicants that intend to apply. Therefore, we strongly encourage
                each potential applicant to notify us of their intent to submit an
                application. To do so, please email the program contact person listed
                under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT with the subject line ``Intent to
                Apply,'' and include the applicant's name and a contact person's name
                and email address. Applicants that do not submit a notice of intent to
                apply may still apply for funding; applicants that do submit a notice
                of intent to apply are not bound to apply or bound by the information
                provided.
                V. Application Review Information
                 1. Selection Criteria: The selection criteria for this program are
                from 34 CFR 75.210. We will award up to 100 points to an application
                under the selection criteria; the total possible points for each
                selection criterion are noted in parentheses.
                 a. Quality of the Project Design (Maximum 45 points). The Secretary
                considers the quality of the design of the proposed project. In
                determining the quality of the design of the proposed project, the
                Secretary considers the following factors:
                 (i) The extent to which the goals, objectives, and outcomes to be
                achieved by the proposed project are clearly specified and measurable.
                (up to 10 points)
                 (ii) The extent to which the proposed project will integrate with
                or build on similar or related efforts to improve relevant outcomes (as
                defined in this notice), using existing funding streams from other
                programs or policies supported by community, State, and Federal
                resources. (up to 10 points)
                [[Page 27622]]
                 (iii) The extent to which the proposed project will establish
                linkages with other appropriate agencies and organizations providing
                services to the target population. (up to 10 points)
                 (iv) The extent to which the proposed project encourages parental
                involvement. (up to 10 points)
                 (v) The extent to which the methods of evaluation are appropriate
                to the context within which the project operates. (up to 5 points)
                 b. Adequacy of Resources (Maximum 40 points). The Secretary
                considers the adequacy of resources for the proposed project. In
                determining the adequacy of resources for the proposed project, the
                Secretary considers:
                 (i) The adequacy of support, including facilities, equipment,
                supplies, and other resources, from the applicant organization or the
                lead applicant organization. (up to 10 points)
                 (ii) The qualifications, including relevant training and
                experience, of the project director or principal investigator. (up to
                10 points)
                 (iii) The qualifications, including relevant training and
                experience, of key project personnel. (up to 5 points)
                 (iv) The qualifications, including relevant training and
                experience, of project consultants or subcontractors. (up to 5 points)
                 (v) The potential for continued support of the project after
                Federal funding ends, including, as appropriate, the demonstrated
                commitment of appropriate entities to such support. (up to 10 points)
                 c. Quality of the Management Plan (Maximum 15 points). The
                Secretary considers the quality of the management plan for the proposed
                project. In determining the quality of the management plan for the
                proposed project, the Secretary considers the extent to which the time
                commitments of the project director and principal investigator and
                other key project personnel are appropriate and adequate to meet the
                objectives of the proposed project. (up to 15 points)
                 2. Review and Selection Process: We remind potential applicants
                that in reviewing applications in any discretionary grant competition,
                the Secretary may consider, under 34 CFR 75.217(d)(3), the past
                performance of the applicant in carrying out a previous award, such as
                the applicant's use of funds, achievement of project objectives, and
                compliance with grant conditions. The Secretary may also consider
                whether the applicant failed to submit a timely performance report or
                submitted a report of unacceptable quality.
                 In addition, in making a competitive grant award, the Secretary
                also requires various assurances, including those applicable to Federal
                civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination in programs or
                activities receiving Federal financial assistance from the Department
                (34 CFR 100.4, 104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).
                 3. Risk Assessment and Specific Conditions: Consistent with 2 CFR
                200.205, before awarding grants under this program, the Department
                conducts a review of the risks posed by applicants. Under 2 CFR
                3474.10, the Secretary may impose specific conditions and, in
                appropriate circumstances, high-risk conditions on a grant if the
                applicant or grantee is not financially stable; has a history of
                unsatisfactory performance; has a financial or other management system
                that does not meet the standards in 2 CFR part 200, subpart D; has not
                fulfilled the conditions of a prior grant; or is otherwise not
                responsible.
                 4. Integrity and Performance System: If you are selected under this
                competition to receive an award that over the course of the project
                period may exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (currently
                $250,000), under 2 CFR 200.205(a)(2) we must make a judgment about your
                integrity, business ethics, and record of performance under Federal
                awards--that is, the risk posed by you as an applicant--before we make
                an award. In doing so, we must consider any information about you that
                is in the integrity and performance system (currently referred to as
                the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System
                (FAPIIS)), accessible through the System for Award Management. You may
                review and comment on any information about yourself that a Federal
                agency previously entered and that is currently in FAPIIS.
                 Please note that, if the total value of your currently active
                grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts from the
                Federal Government exceeds $10,000,000, the reporting requirements in 2
                CFR part 200, Appendix XII, require you to report certain integrity
                information to FAPIIS semiannually. Please review the requirements in 2
                CFR part 200, Appendix XII, if this grant plus all the other Federal
                funds you receive exceed $10,000,000.
                VI. Award Administration Information
                 1. Award Notices: If your application is successful, we notify your
                U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and send you a Grant Award
                Notification (GAN); or we may send you an email containing a link to
                access an electronic version of your GAN. We may notify you informally,
                also.
                 If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding,
                we notify you.
                 2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements: We identify
                administrative and national policy requirements in the application
                package and reference these and other requirements in the Applicable
                Regulations section of this notice.
                 We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of
                an award in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice and
                include these and other specific conditions in the GAN. The GAN also
                incorporates your approved application as part of your binding
                commitments under the grant.
                 3. Open Licensing Requirements: Unless an exception applies, if you
                are awarded a grant under this competition, you will be required to
                openly license to the public grant deliverables created in whole, or in
                part, with Department grant funds. When the deliverable consists of
                modifications to pre-existing works, the license extends only to those
                modifications that can be separately identified and only to the extent
                that open licensing is permitted under the terms of any licenses or
                other legal restrictions on the use of pre-existing works.
                Additionally, a grantee or subgrantee that is awarded competitive grant
                funds must have a plan to disseminate these public grant deliverables.
                This dissemination plan can be developed and submitted after your
                application has been reviewed and selected for funding. For additional
                information on the open licensing requirements please refer to 2 CFR
                3474.20.
                 4. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a grant under this competition,
                you must ensure that you have in place the necessary processes and
                systems to comply with the reporting requirements in 2 CFR part 170
                should you receive funding under the competition. This does not apply
                if you have an exception under 2 CFR 170.110(b).
                 (b) At the end of your project period, you must submit a final
                performance report, including financial information, as directed by the
                Secretary. If you receive a multiyear award, you must submit an annual
                performance report that provides the most current performance and
                financial expenditure information as directed by the Secretary under 34
                CFR 75.118. The Secretary may also require more frequent performance
                reports under 34 CFR 75.720(c). For specific requirements on reporting,
                please go to www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/appforms/appforms.html.
                [[Page 27623]]
                 (c) Under 34 CFR 75.250(b), the Secretary may provide a grantee
                with additional funding for data collection analysis and reporting. In
                this case, the Secretary establishes a data collection period.
                 5. Performance Measure:
                 The number of Tribes that create a TEA by the end of the grant
                period.
