The U.S. Department of Education is collecting this information to ensure that States slated to receive CACGP funding are capable of implementing quality grant projects and complying with statutory and regulatory requirements. The CACGP statute requires States to submit an application containing a description of the capacity to administer grant activities and services, a plan for using grant funds to meet the requirements and special efforts to benefit underrepresented students, the non-federal share, and the structure the state has in place to administer activities and services.
US Code:
20 USC Section 1141
Name of Law: Title VII, Part E of Higher Education Act, as amended
The CACG application was revised to include information on Section 427 of the General Education Provision Act. Instructions were provided to request grantees to address GEPA requirements as it relates to the grant competition. The increase in burden is associated with these additional requirements.
