Subpart E--What Kinds of Activities Does the Secretary Assist Under the

Sec. 403.118  Under what circumstances may the Secretary waive the distribution requirements for the Postsecondary and Adult Vocational Education Programs?

    The Secretary may waive Sec. 403.116(b)(2) for any fiscal or program 
year for which a State submits to the Secretary an application for such 
a waiver that--
    (a) Demonstrates that the formula in Sec. 403.116(b)(2) does not 
result in a distribution of funds to the institutions or consortia of 
eligible institutions within the State that have the highest numbers of 
economically disadvantaged individuals and that an alternative formula 
would result in such a distribution.
    (b) Includes a proposal for an alternative formula that may include 
criteria relating to the number of individuals attending institutions or 
consortia of eligible institutions within the State who--
    (1) Receive need-based postsecondary financial aid provided from 
public funds;
    (2) Are members of families participating in the program for aid to 
families with dependent children under part A of title IV of the Social 
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 601);
    (3) Are enrolled in postsecondary educational institutions that--
    (i) Are funded by the State;
    (ii) Do not charge tuition; and
    (iii) Serve only economically disadvantaged students;
    (4) Are enrolled in programs serving economically disadvantaged 
adults;
    (5) Are participants in programs assisted under the JTPA;
    (6) Are Pell Grant recipients; and
    (c) Proposes an alternative formula that--

    (1) Includes direct counts of students enrolled in the institutions 
or consortia of eligible institutions;
    (2) Directly relates to the status of students as economically 
disadvantaged individuals;
    (3) Is to be uniformly applied to all eligible institutions;
    (4) Does not include fund pools for specific types of institutions 
or consortia of eligible institutions;
    (5) Does not include the direct assignment of funds to a particular 
institution or consortium of eligible institutions on a non-formula 
basis; and
    (6) Identifies a more accurate count of economically disadvantaged 
individuals in the aggregate than does the formula in 
Sec. 403.116(b)(2).
