ACTION: Notice; second extension of NOFA application deadline.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice extends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 
application deadline for funds available under the Rural Veterans 
Coordination Pilot (RVCP) program. VA published a Notice of Funds 
Availability (NOFA) in the Federal Register on June 4, 2013 (78 FR 
33472) to announce the availability of funds for applications beginning 
June 4, 2013 through July 19, 2013, 5 pm eastern standard time. VA also 
published a Notice; extension of NOFA application deadline in the 
Federal Register on June 25, 2013 (78 FR 38099) to allow applicants 
more time to complete the application process until September 19, 2013. 
The NOFA includes funding priorities for those applicants who will 
assist veterans and their families who are transitioning from military 
service to civilian life in rural or underserved communities. To allow 
applicants even more time to complete the application process, VA is 
extending the application deadline to midnight eastern standard time on 
October 4, 2013.

DATES: Applications must be received in accordance with this NOFA no 
later than midnight eastern standard time on October 4, 2013.
    Applications must be uploaded as a complete package into http://www.Grants.gov. Applications may not be sent by fax.
    In the interest of fairness to all competing applicants, this 
deadline of no later than midnight September 19, 2013, is firm as to 
date and hour, and VA will not consider any application that is 
received after the deadline.
