                           TITLE 34--EDUCATION
 
PART 76_STATE-ADMINISTERED PROGRAMS--Table of Contents
 
                Subpart B_How a State Applies for a Grant
 
Sec. 76.103  Multi-year State plans.

    (a) Beginning with fiscal year 1996, each State plan will be 
effective for a period of more than one fiscal year, to be determined by 
the Secretary or by regulations.
    (b) If the Secretary determines that the multi-year State plans 
under a program should be submitted by the States on a staggered 
schedule, the Secretary may require groups of States to submit or 
resubmit their plans in different years.
    (c) This section does not apply to:
    (1) The annual accountability report under part A of title I of the 
Vocational Education Act;
    (2) The annual programs under the Library Services and Construction 
Act;
    (3) The application under sections 141-143 of the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act; and
    (4) The State application under section 209 of title II of the 
Education for Economic Security Act.
    (d) A State may submit an annual State plan under the Vocational 
Education Act. If a State submits an annual plan under that program, 
this section does not apply to that plan.
    Note: This section is based on a provision in the General Education 
Provisions Act (GEPA). Section 427 of the Department of Education 
Organization Act (DEOA), 20 U.S.C. 3487, provides that except to the 
extent inconsistent with the DEOA, the GEPA ``shall apply to functions 
transferred by this Act to the extent applicable on the day preceding 
the effective date of this Act.'' Although standardized nomenclature is 
used in this section to reflect the creation of the Department of 
Education, there is no intent to extend the coverage of the GEPA beyond 
that authorized under section 427 or other applicable law.
