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.
