AGENCY: Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, 
Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice.

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

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.328M

SUMMARY: This notice reopens the FY 2014 Parent Training and 
Information Centers competition, authorized by the Individuals with 
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), as amended. We published a notice 
inviting applications (NIA) for this competition on April 9, 2014, in 
the Federal Register. The notice provided a deadline date of May 27, 
2014, as well as other information, for the transmittal of 
applications.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Significant technical problems with the 
Grants.gov Apply site's ability to accept security enabled Adobe 
Acrobat files in the Parent Training and Information Centers 
competition that was announced in the NIA published on April 9, 2014, 
in the Federal Register (79 FR 19595-19604) may have prevented some 
eligible applicants from meeting the May 27, 2014 deadline. Therefore, 
we are reopening the competition to provide applicants with additional 
time to submit an application.
    Any applicant that has already submitted an application under the 
FY 2014 Parent Training and Information Centers competition does not 
need to resubmit its application, including those applicants whose 
submissions were accepted but not processed because of the problems 
with Grants.gov.

DATES: 
    Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: June 30, 2014.

    Note to Applicants:  The notice published on April 9, 2014, 
provides other information that applies to this competition. 
Specifically, the priority in that notice, entitled ``Parent 
Training and Information Centers,'' identifies the requirements for 
applications submitted in response to this notice, including the 
eligible entities, the States from which we are accepting 
applications, and the instructions for submitting applications.

    Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: August 29, 2014.
