Which Eligible LEAs Must Submit an Application To Receive a FY 2008 SRSA Grant Award An eligible LEA must submit an application to receive a FY 2008 SRSA grant award if it falls under any of the following categories 1. The LEA never submitted an application for SRSA funds in any prior year 2. The LEA received an SRSA grant award for FY 2005 and, as of February 15, 2008, had not drawn down from the Departments Grant Administration and Payment System any of its FY 2005 SRSA funds or 3. The LEA received an SRSA grant award for FY 2006 and, as of March 31, 2008, had not drawn down from the Departments Grant Administration and Payment System any of its FY 2006 SRSA funds. Under the regulations in 34 CFR 75.104(a), the Secretary makes grants only to an eligible party that submits an application. Given the limited purpose served by the application under the SRSA program, the Secretary considers the application requirement to be met if the LEA submitted an SRSA application for any prior year and does not fall under any of the categories listed above requiring the submission of a new application. In this circumstance, unless the LEA advises the Secretary by the application deadline that it is withdrawing its application, the Secretary deems the application that the LEA previously submitted to remain in effect for FY 2008 funding, and the LEA does not have to submit an additional application. We intend to provide, by May 23, 2008, a list of LEAs eligible for FY 2008 funds on the Departments Web site at http://www.ed.gov/programs/reapsrsa/index.html under the Eligibility hyperlink. The Web site will also indicate which of these eligible LEAs must submit a new application to the Department to receive their FY 2008 SRSA grant award, and which eligible LEAs are considered already to have met the application requirement. Eligible LEAs that must submit a new application in order to receive FY 2008 SRSA funds must do so electronically by the deadline established in this notice.
