AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Extension of the due date for submission of applications in 
response to agency announcement published February 19, 1997, 62 FR

SUMMARY: Due to lack of sufficient response from the necessary number 
of national organizations as a result of the original announcement, the 
decision has been made to extend the due date for submission of 
applications from March 21, 1997 to April 21, 1997. Those applicants 
which met the original due date are also given the opportunity to 
utilize the additional time to refine/revise and resubmit their 
applications if they so desire.
    Your attention is drawn to the Eligibility Requirements in the 
original announcement wherein it states that in order to be eligible to 
participate in this program, you must be a national nonprofit 
organization which: (1) Has an established membership structure with 
regional, state or local chapters throughout the country having a 
mechanism for disseminating and coordinating project efforts at the 
local level; and, (2) have in place a schedule of regular/national/
regional or state conferences or conventions, and one or more 
communication mechanisms that can be used for motivating members and 
other constituents to become involved in occupant protection at the 
state and local level.
