Free Internet access to the official edition of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available on GPO Access at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html. Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information. For the addresses for obtaining and submitting an application, please refer to our Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs, published in the Federal Register on February 12, 2018 (83 FR 6003) and available at www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2018-02-12/pdf/2018-02558.pdf. Purpose of Program: CAMP is designed to assist eligible persons who are enrolled or are admitted for enrollment on a full-time basis at an institution of higher education (IHE) complete their first academic year. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number 84.149A. On February 8, 2019, we published in the Federal Register an NIA for this program (84 FR 2835) that identified national targets for CAMP Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) performance measures. Additionally, we posted an application package for the program on the Department's website at https://www2.ed.gov/programs/camp/fy19-camp-application.pdf and Grants.gov. Since that time, we have discovered that the CAMP NIA incorrectly identifies the national target for GPRA measure 2, the percentage of CAMP participants who, after completing the first academic year of college, continue their postsecondary education, as 85 percent for FY 2019. The correct national target for GPRA measure 2 is 90 percent for FY 2019. Additionally, the CAMP application package instructions incorrectly identify the GPRA measure 2 as 85 percent on page 60; the application package instructions, however, correctly identify the CAMP GPRA measure 2 as 90 percent on page 8 of the application package. We previously announced in the publicly available CAMP FY 2017 Program Performance Report that the CAMP GPRA measure 2 is 90 percent for FY 2019. We are publishing this correction notice to clarify that the CAMP GPRA measure 2 remains 90 percent for FY 2019. Applicants that have already submitted timely applications may submit a revised application that contains the correct national target for CAMP GPRA measure 2, but are not required to do so. Applicants that have already submitted timely applications and do not submit a revised application will still be expected to meet the correct national target for CAMP GPRA measure 2 identified in this notice. Instructions for submitting an application can be found in the NIA. Correction: In FR Document 2019-01701, on page 2839, in the first column, in the second paragraph of the section entitled ``Performance Measures,'' we replace ``The national target for GPRA measure 2 for FY 2019 is that 85 percent of CAMP participants continue their postsecondary education after completing the first academic year of college'' with ``The national target for GPRA measure 2 for FY 2019 is that 90 percent of CAMP participants continue their postsecondary education after completing the first academic year of college.''
