Instructions for submitting an integration of education and related services plan are included in the EASIE described elsewhere in this notice under Application Process and Submission Information. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.060A. Application Process and Submission Information: Formula Grant EASIE is an easy-to-use, electronic application system.
