DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Office of Postsecondary Education Federal Work-Study Programs

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice of the closing date for institutions that participate in 
the Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program to submit the Campus-Based 
Reallocation Form (ED Form E40-4P).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Secretary gives notice to institutions of higher education 
of the deadline for an institution that participated in the FWS Program 
for the 1995-96 award year (July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996) to 
submit a Campus-Based Reallocation Form to request supplemental FWS 
funds for the 1996-97 award year (July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997). 
The information collected is used to determine whether an institution 
is eligible to receive supplemental FWS funds for the 1996-97 award 
year.

DATES: Closing Date for Submitting a Campus-Based Reallocation Form. If 
an institution that participated in the FWS Program for the 1995-96 
award year wants to ensure that it will be considered for supplemental 
FWS funds for the 1996-97 award year, the institution must submit the 
Campus-Based Reallocation Form by July 12, 1996. The Department will 
not accept a form submitted by facsimile transmission.

ADDRESSES: Campus-Based Reallocation Form Delivered by Mail. The 
Campus-Based Reallocation Form delivered by mail must be addressed to 
the U.S. Department of Education, SFAP, AFMS, Institutional Financial 
Management Division (Room 4714, ROB-3), 600 Independence Avenue, S.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20202-5458. An applicant must show proof of mailing 
consisting of one of the following: (1) A legibly dated U.S. Postal 
Service postmark; (2) a legible mail receipt with the date of the 
mailing stamped by the U.S. Postal Service; (3) a dated shipping label, 
invoice, or receipt from a commercial carrier; or (4) any other proof 
of mailing acceptable to the Secretary of Education.
    If a Campus-Based Reallocation Form is sent through the U.S. Postal 
Service, the Secretary does not accept either of the following as proof 
of mailing: (1) A private metered postmark, or (2) a mail receipt that 
is not dated by the U.S. Postal Service. An institution should note 
that the U.S. Postal Service does not uniformly provide a dated 
postmark. Before relying on this method, an institution should check 
with its local post office. An institution is encouraged to use 
certified or at least first-class mail.
    Campus-Based Reallocation Form Delivered by Hand. A Campus-Based 
Reallocation Form delivered by hand must be taken to the Campus-Based 
Financial Operations Branch, Institutional Financial Management 
Division, Accounting and Financial Management Service, Student 
Financial Assistance Programs, U.S. Department of Education, Room 4714, 
Regional Office Building 3, 7th and D Streets, S.W., Washington, D.C. 
Hand-delivered reallocation forms will be accepted between 8:00 a.m. 
and 4:30 p.m. (Eastern time) daily, except Saturdays, Sundays, and 
Federal holidays. A Campus-Based Reallocation form that is delivered by 
hand will not be accepted after 4:30 p.m. on the appropriate closing 
date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will reallocate unexpanded 
FWS Federal funds from the 1995-96 award year as supplemental 
allocations for the 1996-97 award year under the FWS Program. 
Supplemental allocations

[[Page 29744]]

will be issued this fall in accordance with the reallocation procedures 
contained in the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). Under 
section 442(e) of the HEA, unexpended FWS funds returned to the 
Secretary must be reallocated to eligible institutions that used at 
least 10 percent of the total FWS Federal funds granted to the 
institution to compensate students employed in community services. 
Because reallocated FWS funds will be distributed on the basis of fair 
share shortfall criteria, institutions must also have a fair share 
shortfall to receive these funds. Institutions must use all the 
reallocated FWS Federal funds to compensate students employed in 
community services. To ensure consideration for supplemental FWS 
Federal funds for the 1996-1997 award year, an institution must submit 
the Campus-Based Reallocation Form by July 12, 1996.
