For the 24-month projects originally funded in fiscal year (FY) 2013 and extended for an additional 24-months in FY 2015 under the Native Hawaiian Career and Technical Education Program (NHCTEP), the Secretary: Waives the requirements in Education Department regulations that generally prohibit project period extensions involving the obligation of additional Federal funds; and extends the project period for the current seven NHCTEP grantees for an additional 12 months under the existing program authority. This waiver and extension will allow the seven current NHCTEP grantees to seek FY 2017 continuation awards for the project period through FY 2018.
