I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The Indian Education Formula Grants to Local
Educational Agencies (Formula Grants) program provides grants to
support local educational agencies (LEAs), Indian Tribes and
organizations, and other eligible entities in developing and
implementing elementary and secondary school programs that serve Indian
students. The U.S. Department of Education (Department) funds
comprehensive programs that are designed to meet the unique cultural,
language, and educational needs of American Indian and Alaska Native
(AI/AN) students and ensure that all students meet challenging State
academic standards.
As authorized under section 6116 of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), the Secretary will, upon
receipt of an acceptable plan for the integration of education and
related services, and in cooperation with other relevant Federal
agencies, authorize the entity receiving the funds under this program
to consolidate all Federal funds that are to be used exclusively for
Indian students. Instructions for submitting an integration of
education and related services plan are included in the EASIE, which is
described under Application and Submission Information in section IV of
this notice.
Note: Under the Formula Grants program, all applicants are required
to develop proposed projects in open consultation, including through
public hearings held to provide a full opportunity to understand the
program and to offer recommendations regarding the program (section
6114(c)(3)(C) of the ESEA), with parents of Indian children and
teachers of Indian children, representatives of Indian Tribes on Indian
lands located within 50 miles of any school that the LEA will serve if
such Tribes have any children in such school, Indian organizations
(IOs), and, if appropriate, Indian students from secondary schools. LEA
applicants are required to develop proposed projects with the
participation and written approval of a parent committee whose
membership includes parents and family members of Indian children in
the LEA's schools; representatives of Indian Tribes on Indian lands
located within 50 miles of any school that the LEA will serve if such
Tribes have any children in such school; teachers in the schools; and,
if appropriate, Indian students attending secondary schools of the LEA
(section 6114(c)(4) of the ESEA). The majority of the parent committee
members must be parents and family members of Indian children (section
6114(c)(4) of the ESEA).
Definitions: The following definition is from section 6112(d)(3) of
the ESEA:
Indian community-based organization (ICBO) means any organization
that (1) is composed primarily of Indian parents, family members and
community members, tribal government educational officials, and tribal
members, from a specific community; (2) assists in the social,
cultural, and educational development of Indians in such community; (3)
meets the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of Indian
students; and (4) demonstrates organizational and administrative
capacity to manage the grant.
Statutory Hiring Preference:
(a) Awards that are primarily for the benefit of Indians are
subject to the provisions of section 7(b) of the Indian Self-
Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 5307(b)). That
section requires that, to the greatest extent feasible, a grantee--
(1) Give to Indians preferences and opportunities for training and
employment in connection with the administration of the grant; and
(2) Give to IOs and to Indian-owned economic enterprises, as
defined in section 3 of the Indian Financing Act of 1974 (25 U.S.C.
1452(e)), preference in the award of contracts in connection with the
administration of the grant.
(b) For purposes of this section, an Indian is a member of any
federally recognized Indian Tribe (25 U.S.C. 1452(b)).

6. Data Universal Numbering System Number, Taxpayer Identification
Number, and System for Award Management: To do business with the
Department of Education, you must--
a. Have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and a
Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN);
b. Register both your DUNS number and TIN with the System for Award
Management (SAM), the Government's primary registrant database;
c. Provide your DUNS number and TIN on your SAM application; and
d. Maintain an active SAM registration with current information
while your application is under review by the Department and, if you
are awarded a grant, during the project period.
You can obtain a DUNS number from Dun and Bradstreet at the
following website: http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform. A DUNS number can be
created within one to two business days.
If you are a corporate entity, agency, institution, or
organization, you can obtain a TIN from the Internal Revenue Service.
If you are an individual, you can obtain a TIN from the Internal
Revenue Service or the Social Security Administration. If you need a
new TIN, please allow two to five weeks for your TIN to become active.
The SAM registration process can take approximately seven business
days, but may take upwards of several weeks, depending on the
completeness and accuracy of the data you enter into the SAM database.
Thus, if you think you might want to apply for Federal financial
assistance under a program administered by the Department, please allow
sufficient time to obtain and register your DUNS number and TIN. We
strongly recommend that you register early.
If you are currently registered with SAM, you may not need to make
any changes. However, please make certain that the TIN associated with
your DUNS number is correct. Also note that you will need to update
your registration annually. This may take three or more business days.
Information about SAM is available at www.SAM.gov. To further
assist you with obtaining and registering your DUNS number and TIN in
SAM or updating your existing SAM account, we have prepared a SAM.gov
Tip Sheet, which you can find at: www2.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/sam-faqs.html.
7. Other Submission Requirements:
a. Electronic Submission of Applications.
Electronic Application System for Indian Education (EASIE): EASIE
is an electronic application found in the EDFacts System Portal at
https://eden.ed.gov/Survey. It is divided into
[[Page 7301]]
two parts--EASIE Part I and EASIE Part II.
EASIE Part I, student count, provides the appropriate data-entry
screens to submit verified, aggregated, Indian student count totals
based on either the Indian School Equalization Program (ISEP) count or
the Indian Student Eligibility Certification Form (ED 506 Form). All
applicants must submit a current Indian student count for FY 2020.
Applicants must use the Indian Student Eligibility Certification Form
(ED 506 Form) to document eligible Indian students; however, BIE
schools may use either the Indian School Equalization Program (ISEP)
count or the ED 506 Form count to verify their Indian student counts.
Applicants must protect the privacy of all individual data collected
and only report aggregated data to the Secretary.
Applicants that verify their Indian student count with the ED 506
Form must document their Indian student counts by completing the
following: (1) Each year, the applicant must verify there is a valid ED
506 Form for each Indian child included in the count; (2) all ED 506
Forms included in the count must be completed, signed, and dated by the
parent, and be on file; (3) the applicant must maintain a copy of the
student enrollment roster(s) covering the same period of time indicated
in the application as the ``count period''; and (4) each Indian child
included in the count must be listed on the LEA's enrollment roster(s)
for at least one day during the count period.
BIE schools that enter an ISEP count to verify their Indian student
count must use the most current Indian student count certified by the
BIE.
Once an Indian child is determined to be eligible to be counted for
such grant award, the applicant must maintain a record of such
determination and must not require a new or duplicate determination or
form to be made for such child for a subsequent application for a grant
under this program.
Applicants must indicate the time span for the project objectives
and corresponding activities and services for AI/AN students.
Applicants can choose to set objectives that remain the same for up to
four years in order to facilitate data collection and enhance long-term
planning.
In EASIE Part II, all applicants must--
(1) Select the type of program being submitted as either regular
formula grant program, formula grant project consolidated with a title
I schoolwide program, or integration of services under section 6116 of
the ESEA;
(2) Select the grade levels offered by the LEA or BIE school;
(3) Identify, from a list of possible Department grant programs
(e.g., ESEA title I), the programs in the LEA that are currently
coordinated with a title VI project, or with which the school district
plans to coordinate during the project year, in accordance with section
6114(c)(5) of the ESEA, and describe the comprehensive program for AI/
AN students with those grant programs;
(4) Describe the professional development opportunities that will
be provided as part of a comprehensive program to ensure that teachers
and other school professionals who are new to the Indian community are
prepared to work with Indian children, and that all teachers who will
be involved in programs assisted by this grant have been properly
trained to carry out such programs, as required by section 6114(b)(5)
of the ESEA;
(5) Provide information on how the State assessment data of all
Indian students (not just those served) are used and how such
information will be disseminated to the Indian community, parent
committee, and Indian Tribes whose children are served by the LEA. Also
describe how assessment data from the previous school year (SY) were
used, as required by section 6114(b)(6) of the ESEA;
(6) Indicate when the public hearing was held for SY 2020, as
required by section 6114(c)(3)(C) of the ESEA;
(7) For an applicant that is an LEA, BIE school, or a consortium of
LEAs or BIE schools, describe the process the applicant used to
meaningfully collaborate with Indian Tribes located in the community in
a timely, active, and ongoing manner in the development of the
comprehensive program and the actions taken as a result of such
collaboration (ESEA section 6114(b)(7));
(8) Identify specific project objectives that will further the goal
of providing culturally responsive education for AI/AN students to meet
their academic needs and help them meet State achievement standards
(ESEA section 6115(b)), and identify the data sources that will be used
to measure progress towards meeting project objectives;
(9) For an LEA that selects a schoolwide application, identify how
the use of such funds in a schoolwide program will produce benefits to
Indian students that would not be achieved if the funds were not used
in a schoolwide program (ESEA section 6115(c)(3));
(10) Submit a program budget and justification based on the
estimated grant amount that the EASIE system calculates from the Indian
student count submitted in EASIE Part I. After the initial grant
amounts are determined, additional funds may become available due to
such circumstances as withdrawn applications or reduction in another
applicant's student count. An applicant whose award amount increases or
decreases more than $5,000 must submit a revised budget prior to
receiving its grant award but will not need to re-certify its
application. If an applicant's award amount increases or decreases by
less than $5,000, a budget update is not required. For an applicant
that receives an increased award amount following submission of its
original budget, the applicant must allocate the increased amount only
to previously approved budget categories;
(11) As required by section 427 of the General Education Provisions
Act (GEPA), describe the steps the applicant proposes to take to ensure
equitable access to, and participation in, the project or activity to
be conducted with such assistance, by addressing the special needs of
students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries in order to
overcome barriers to equitable participation, including barriers based
on gender, race, color, national origin, disability, and age; and
(12) If needed, provide additional comments to assist OIE in the
review of the application.
Registration for Formula Grant EASIE: Current, former, and new
applicants interested in submitting a Formula Grant EASIE application
must register for Formula Grant EASIE. Prior to the opening of EASIE
Part I, EDFacts PSC will send a broadcast to prior year grantees and
new prospective applicants that have contacted EDFacts PSC and
registered for EASIE. All recipients who receive EDFacts PSC's
broadcast will be asked to respond if updates to their registration
information are necessary or they would like to decline registration.
Entities that do not have an active registration or are new applicants
should contact EDFacts PSC listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
to register any time before the EASIE Part I application deadline date.
Registration does not serve as the entity's grant application. For
assistance registering, contact the EDFacts PSC listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
Certification for Formula Grant EASIE: The applicant's authorized
representative, who must be legally authorized by the applicant to
approve the application, must certify EASIE Part I and Part II. Only
users with the EASIE User Account Type ``managing user'' or
``certifying official user'' in the EASIE system can certify an
application. Each applicant should identify at least three
[[Page 7302]]
system users, one for each of the following: Project director,
authorized representative, and another party designated to answer
questions in the event the project director is unavailable. The
certification process ensures that the information in the application

V. Grant Administration Information
1. Risk Assessment and Specific Conditions: Consistent with 2 CFR
200.205, before awarding grants under this program the Department
conducts a review of the risks posed by applicants. Under 2 CFR
3474.10, the Secretary may impose specific conditions and, in
appropriate circumstances, high-risk conditions on a grant if the
applicant or grantee is not financially stable; has a history of
unsatisfactory performance; has a financial or other management system
that does not meet the standards in 2 CFR part 200, subpart D; has not
fulfilled the conditions of a prior grant; or is otherwise not
responsible.
2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements: We identify
administrative and national policy requirements in the application
package and reference these and other requirements in the Applicable
Regulations section of this notice. We reference the regulations
outlining the terms and conditions of a grant in the Applicable
Regulations section of this notice.
3. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a grant under this program, you
must ensure that you have in place the necessary processes and systems
to comply with the reporting requirements in 2 CFR part 170 should you
receive funding. This does not apply if you have an exception under 2
CFR 170.110(b).
(b) You must submit an annual performance report (APR) using the
EDFacts System Portal at https://eden.ed.gov, including financial
information, as directed by the Secretary, within 90 days after the
close of the grant year. The APR is located within the EDFacts System

users, grantees will receive an email from the EDFacts PSC identifying
the date that the APR will be available to grantees and the deadline
for its transmission.
4. Performance Measures: The Secretary has established the
following key performance measures for assessing the effectiveness and
efficiency of the Formula Grants program: (1) The percentage of AI/AN
students in grades four and eight who score at or above the basic level
in reading on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP);
(2) the percentage of AI/AN students in grades four and eight who score
at or above the basic level in mathematics on the NAEP; (3) the
percentage of AI/AN students in grades three through eight meeting
State achievement standards by scoring at or above the proficient level
in reading and mathematics on State assessments; (4) the difference

5. Integrity and Performance System: If you receive an award under
this grant program that over the course of the project period may
exceed the
[[Page 7303]]
simplified acquisition threshold (currently $250,000), under 2 CFR
200.205(a)(2) we must make a judgment about your integrity, business
ethics, and record of performance under Federal awards--that is, the
risk posed by you as an applicant--before we make an award. In doing
so, we must consider any information about you that is in the integrity
and performance system (currently referred to as the Federal Awardee
Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)), accessible
through SAM. You may review and comment on any information about
yourself that a Federal agency previously entered and that is currently
in FAPIIS.
Please note that, if the total value of your currently active
grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts from the
Federal Government exceeds $10,000,000, the requirements in 2 CFR part
200, Appendix XII, require you to report certain integrity information
to FAPIIS semiannually. Please review the requirements in 2 CFR part
200, Appendix XII, if this grant plus all the other Federal funds you
receive exceed $10,000,000.
