Information Centers
AGENCY: Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services,
Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On December 11, 2014, we published in the Federal Register (79
FR 73557) a notice inviting applications for the FY 2015 Parent
Training and Information Centers competition (NIA). The notice
established a deadline date of February 9, 2015, for the transmittal of
applications. This notice reopens the competition for five days.
DATES:
Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: March 30, 2015.
Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: May 29, 2015.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A significant number of applications
received in response to the NIA were not eligible because the
applicants did not follow the formatting or deadline requirements in
the NIA. Consequently, we did not receive eligible applications for a
number of States. Therefore, we are reopening the competition to allow
applicants to submit or resubmit applications that meet the
requirements in the NIA, in order to ensure that parents in all States
can be served by a Parent Training and Information Center.
Applicants that have already submitted applications under the FY
2015 Parent Training and Information Centers competition are encouraged
to review their applications and determine whether they have met all
eligibility requirements, including formatting requirements and the
deadline for submission, in the NIA and the application package, which
is available at http://www2.ed.gov/programs/oseppic/applicant.html.
Note that the NIA requires double spacing (no more than three lines
per vertical inch) for all text in the application narrative, including
titles, headings, footnotes, quotations, reference citations, and
captions, as well as all text in charts, tables, figures, graphs, and
screen shots.
Applicants may review a recorded Webinar that discusses the
application requirements at http://tadnet.adobeconnect.com/p763v5dg8fm/.
As stated above, applicants may resubmit applications that may not
have met all formatting requirements. Applicants that already submitted
timely applications that meet all of the formatting requirements do not
have to resubmit their applications. If a new application is not
submitted, the Department will use the application that was submitted
before the February 9, 2015, 4:30 p.m. EST deadline.
Note: Applications that did not meet the February deadline must
be resubmitted to be considered for review.
Note to Applicants: The notice published on December 11, 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.
