[Federal Register Volume 59, Number 29 (Friday, February 11, 1994)] [Unknown Section] [Page 0] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 94-3254] [[Page Unknown]] [Federal Register: February 11, 1994] _______________________________________________________________________ Part VI Department of Education _______________________________________________________________________ Direct Grant Programs; Notice DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Direct Grant Programs AGENCY: Department of Education. ACTION: Notice of extension of application deadline dates for certain direct grant programs under which the Secretary is making new awards. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Secretary extends the deadline dates for the submission of applications under certain direct grant programs under which the Secretary is making new awards for fiscal year (FY) 1994, as well as applications for funding under section 3 of Impact Aid Maintenance and Operations for FY 1995. The Secretary also revises the deadlines for (1) intergovernmental review for those programs subject to the requirements of Executive Order 12372 (Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs); and (2) State educational agency (SEA) comments for applications under section 2 or 3 of Impact Aid Maintenance and Operations. The Secretary takes this action to allow more time for the preparation and submission of applications by potential applicants adversely affected by severe weather conditions in various areas of the Nation or by the recent earthquake in California. The extensions are intended to help these potential applicants compete fairly with other applicants under these programs. Note: The programs in this notice are in two groups depending on the deadline dates originally or previously announced. The two groups are identified in the Supplementary Information section of the notice. DATES: The new deadline date for transmitting applications under each program in Group I is February 25, 1994. The new deadline date for transmitting applications under each program in Group II is listed with that program. For programs in Group I that are subject to Executive Order 12372, the deadline date for the transmittal of State Process Recommendations by SPOCs and comments by other interested parties is on April 26, 1994. For applications under section 2 or 3 of Impact Aid Maintenance and Operations, the deadline date for the transmittal of comments by SEAs is on March 14, 1994. For programs in Group II that are subject to Executive Order 12372, the deadline date for the transmittal of State Process Recommendations for each program is listed with that program. ADDRESSES: The address and telephone number for obtaining applications for, or further information about, an individual program are in the application notice for that program. The date and Federal Register citation of the application notice are listed for each program. Individuals who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the TDD number, if any, listed in the individual application notices. If a TDD number is not listed for a given program, individuals who use a TDD may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday. The address for transmitting recommendations and comments under Executive Order 12372 is in the appendix to the notice inviting applications for new awards under direct grant programs and fellowship programs published in the Federal Register on September 24, 1993 (58 FR 50138). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The programs for which the Secretary announces closing date extensions are in two groups: Group I: These are programs whose originally announced application deadline dates fell between January 18 and January 31, 1994. New Deadlines: The new deadline for each of these competitions is two weeks from the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Eligibility: Because this extension is based on the adverse effects of severe weather conditions or the adverse effects of the California earthquake, the extended deadline dates apply to applications from all applicants across the Nation. Group II: These are programs whose originally announced application deadline dates fell between February 1 and February 18, 1994. New Deadlines: The new deadline for each of these competitions is three weeks from the application deadline date originally or previously announced in the Federal Register. Eligibility: Because the extensions for programs in Group II are based on the adverse effects of the California earthquake, the extended deadline dates apply to applications from applicants located in the State of California only. Organization of Notice Both Chart I and Chart II list programs in order of Code of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number, regardless of which principal office of the Department administers a particular program. Chart I: In addition to the CFDA number, the list includes the name of the program or competition, the date on which the application notice was published in the Federal Register, and a reference to the volume number and page number of the notice. In the case of Impact Aid Maintenance and Operations, reference is to the regulations for the program in Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations (34 CFR). Because the new--that is, extended--application deadline date for all of these programs is the same, a separate deadline is not listed for each program. Chart II: In addition to the CFDA number, the list includes the name of the program or competition, the date on which the application notice was published in the Federal Register, a reference to the volume number and page number of the notice, and the new--that is, extended-- application deadline date.
