{"abstract":"The Secretary amends the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) to permit the Department to consider for funding, under appropriate discretionary grant programs administered by the Department, unsolicited grant applications. The Secretary takes this action as part of the Department's overall effort at re-invention. The authority to consider unsolicited applications allows the Department to respond to truly exceptional applications of national significance that might not conform to the Department's announced annual competitions.","action":"Final regulations.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION","name":"Education Department","id":126,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/education-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/126","parent_id":null,"slug":"education-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/1995/03/03/95-5222.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":75,"title":34}],"citation":"60 FR 12096","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"These regulations take effect April 3, 1995.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"95-5222","effective_on":"1995-04-03","end_page":12097,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":null,"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/03/03/95-5222/direct-grant-programs","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/95-5222?publication_date=1995-03-03","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-1995-03-03/95-5222/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":22,"last_updated":"2026-07-28 10:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-03-03/pdf/95-5222.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"1995-03-03","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/1995/03/03/95-5222.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1880-AA61":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["1880-AA61"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-09-21T01:10:59Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":12096,"subtype":null,"title":"Direct Grant Programs","toc_doc":null,"toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Rule","volume":60}
