## Abstract

The Secretary amends the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) that govern discretionary grant programs. These amendments reduce the need for specific regulations governing individual programs. The amendments authorize the Secretary to establish selection criteria for a discretionary grant program based on statutory provisions that apply to a program and on existing selection criteria in EDGAR. The amendments also clarify the Secretary's authority to establish annual funding priorities for grant competitions.
