maintain certain types of records related to their grants and to report 
or submit certain information to the Department. Part 74 of EDGAR 
applies to Institutions of Higher Education, nonprofit organizations, 
and hospitals. Additionally, under 34 CFR 75.261, all types of grantees 
including State Educational Agencies, Local Educational Agencies, and 
Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Governments may follow the 
regulations in 34 CFR 74.25 (e)(2) regarding extension of a project 
period. Section 74.25 (e)(2) allows grantees to initiate a one-time 
extension of their projects' expiration date of up to 12 months without 
prior approval from the Department of Education. These grantee 
requirements are necessary for the effective administration and 
monitoring of grant projects.
