DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION


Office of Postsecondary Education Federal Work-Study Programs


AGENCY: Department of Education.


ACTION: Notice of the closing date for institutions that participate in 

the Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program to submit the Campus-Based 

Reallocation Form (ED Form E40-4P).


-----------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY: The Secretary gives notice to institutions of higher education 

of the deadline for an institution that participated in the FWS Program 

for the 1995-96 award year (July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996) to 

submit a Campus-Based Reallocation Form to request supplemental FWS 

funds for the 1996-97 award year (July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997). 

The information collected is used to determine whether an institution 

is eligible to receive supplemental FWS funds for the 1996-97 award 

year.


DATES: Closing Date for Submitting a Campus-Based Reallocation Form. If 

an institution that participated in the FWS Program for the 1995-96 

award year wants to ensure that it will be considered for supplemental 

FWS funds for the 1996-97 award year, the institution must submit the 

Campus-Based Reallocation Form by July 12, 1996. The Department will 

not accept a form submitted by facsimile transmission.


ADDRESSES: Campus-Based Reallocation Form Delivered by Mail. The 

Campus-Based Reallocation Form delivered by mail must be addressed to 

the U.S. Department of Education, SFAP, AFMS, Institutional Financial 

Management Division (Room 4714, ROB-3), 600 Independence Avenue, S.W., 

Washington, D.C. 20202-5458. An applicant must show proof of mailing 

consisting of one of the following: (1) A legibly dated U.S. Postal 

Service postmark; (2) a legible mail receipt with the date of the 

mailing stamped by the U.S. Postal Service; (3) a dated shipping label, 

invoice, or receipt from a commercial carrier; or (4) any other proof 

of mailing acceptable to the Secretary of Education.

    If a Campus-Based Reallocation Form is sent through the U.S. Postal 

Service, the Secretary does not accept either of the following as proof 

of mailing: (1) A private metered postmark, or (2) a mail receipt that 

is not dated by the U.S. Postal Service. An institution should note 

that the U.S. Postal Service does not uniformly provide a dated 

postmark. Before relying on this method, an institution should check 

with its local post office. An institution is encouraged to use 

certified or at least first-class mail.

    Campus-Based Reallocation Form Delivered by Hand. A Campus-Based 

Reallocation Form delivered by hand must be taken to the Campus-Based 

Financial Operations Branch, Institutional Financial Management 

Division, Accounting and Financial Management Service, Student 

Financial Assistance Programs, U.S. Department of Education, Room 4714, 

Regional Office Building 3, 7th and D Streets, S.W., Washington, D.C. 

Hand-delivered reallocation forms will be accepted between 8:00 a.m. 

and 4:30 p.m. (Eastern time) daily, except Saturdays, Sundays, and 

Federal holidays. A Campus-Based Reallocation form that is delivered by 

hand will not be accepted after 4:30 p.m. on the appropriate closing 

date.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will reallocate unexpanded 

FWS Federal funds from the 1995-96 award year as supplemental 

allocations for the 1996-97 award year under the FWS Program. 

Supplemental allocations


[[Page 29744]]


will be issued this fall in accordance with the reallocation procedures 

contained in the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). Under 

section 442(e) of the HEA, unexpended FWS funds returned to the 

Secretary must be reallocated to eligible institutions that used at 

least 10 percent of the total FWS Federal funds granted to the 

institution to compensate students employed in community services. 

Because reallocated FWS funds will be distributed on the basis of fair 

share shortfall criteria, institutions must also have a fair share 

shortfall to receive these funds. Institutions must use all the 

reallocated FWS Federal funds to compensate students employed in 

community services. To ensure consideration for supplemental FWS 

Federal funds for the 1996-1997 award year, an institution must submit 

the Campus-Based Reallocation Form by July 12, 1996.
