Abstract: The Department is requesting an extension of the approval

needed to apply for new grants under those grant program competitions.
The Department will use this Generic Application package for
discretionary grant programs that: (1) Use the standard ED or Federal-
wide grant applications forms that have been cleared separately through
OMB under the terms of this
[[Page 84313]]
generic clearance as approved by OMB and (2) use selection criteria
from the Education Department General Administrative Regulations
(EDGAR); selection criteria that reflect statutory or regulatory
provisions that have been developed under 34 CFR 75.209, or a
combination of EDGAR, statutory or regulatory criteria or other
provisions, as authorized under 34 CFR 75.200 and 75.209. The use of
the standard ED grant application forms and the use of EDGAR and/or
criteria developed under Sec. Sec. 75.200 and 75.209 promotes the
standardization and streamlining of ED discretionary grant application
packages.
