DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

 [CFDA No. 84.282B and 84.282C]


Charter Schools Program (CSP)

AGENCY: Office of Innovation and Improvement, Department of Education.

ACTION: Correction; Notice inviting applications for new awards for 
fiscal year (FY) 2007.

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

SUMMARY: On June 20, 2007, we published in the Federal Register (72 FR 
33986) a notice inviting applications for new awards for two fiscal 
year (FY) 2007 competitions under the Charter Schools Program (CFDA 
84.282B and CFDA 84.282C). That notice incorrectly included Alaska, 
Missouri, and New Hampshire in the list of States that currently have 
approved applications under the CSP. Non-State educational agency (Non-
SEA) eligible applicants in States that currently have approved 
applications under the CSP are ineligible to apply under these 
competitions and must contact the SEA for information related to the 
State's CSP subgrant competition. Because Alaska, Missouri, and New 
Hampshire do not currently have approved applications under the CSP, 
non-SEA eligible applicants from these three states are, in fact, 
eligible to apply directly to the Department for CSP grants under these 
competitions.
    For these reasons, we are removing Alaska, Missouri, and New 
Hampshire from the list of States that currently have approved 
applications under the CSP. The Note on page 33986, in the third 
column, under III. Eligibility Information, 1. Eligible Applicants: 
Planning and Initial Implementation (CFDA No. 84.282B) is corrected to 
read as follows:

    Note: Eligible applicant is defined in section 5210(3) of the 
ESEA. The following States currently have approved applications 
under the CSP: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, 
Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, 
Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, 
Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, 
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin. 
In these States, non-SEA eligible applicants interested in 
participating in the CSP should contact the SEA for information 
related to the State's CSP subgrant competition.
