Native American Language (NAL@ED) Application Package (1894-0001)

On February 27, 2020 Department of Education (Department) published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Priorities for the Native American Language Program (NAL@ED) (Vol. 85, No. 39, pages 11322-11329). The priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria are proposed to foster the development, improvement, expansion, or maintenance of programs that support elementary or secondary schools in using Native American and Alaska Native languages as the primary language of instruction. At the time the notice of proposed priorities was published, no Information Collection Request was submitted. We are publishing a separate 30-day Federal Register notice to solicit public comment on the paperwork burden now. This is a request for a reinstatement with change of a previously approved information collection request. The previous application was used to implement the first NAL@ED competition under the statutory changes made to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act by the Every Student Succeeds Act, under a wavier of rulemaking (section 437(d)(1) of the General Education Provisions Act).
