ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview Information: [[Page 43676]] CFDA No. 84.116J, 84.116M, and 84.116N. Withdrawal of Notices inviting applications for new awards for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011; European Union-United States Atlantis (Atlantis) Program; U.S.-Brazil Higher Education Consortia (U.S.-Brazil) Program; and the North American Mobility in Higher Education (NAM) Program. SUMMARY: On April 1, 2011 (76 FR 18198) (Atlantis); March 29, 2011 (76 FR 17391) (U.S.-Brazil); and March 25, 2011 (76 FR 16743) (NAM), the Department published in the Federal Register notices inviting applications for new awards for each of the programs identified. On April 15, 2011, the President signed Public Law 112-10, the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, which substantially reduced funds available for the Department's Higher Education account. This account is the source of funding for grants in these programs under the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education. Therefore, no new grants will be made under the Atlantis, U.S.-Brazil, or NAM programs in FY 2011. As such, the Department withdraws these notices inviting applications for new awards for FY 2011.
