Office of Elementary and Secondary Education--Enhanced Assessment 
Instruments; Withdrawal of Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards 
for Fiscal Year (FY) 2005

    Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.368.

SUMMARY: On April 19, 2005, the Secretary published in the Federal 
Register (70 FR 20360) a notice inviting applications for new awards 
for fiscal year (FY) 2005 under the Enhanced Assessment Instruments 
Grants program. Subsequent to the publication of this notice, the 
Secretary announced that the Department will be publishing a notice of 
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) related to modified achievement standards 
for a limited group of students with disabilities. These regulations 
may affect the criteria for awarding Enhanced Assessment Instruments 
Grants. The purpose of this notice is to withdraw the invitation for 
applications for new awards for Enhanced Assessment Instrument Grants 
for fiscal year 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secretary anticipates re-announcing this 
competition after publication in the Federal Register of both an NPRM 
and final regulations that may change the selection criteria for this 
program. The Department will publish a new notice in the Federal 
Register inviting applications for new awards for FY 2006 at a later 
date.
