DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION


Direct Grant Programs

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice reopening application deadline dates for certain direct 
grant and fellowship programs.

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

SUMMARY: The Secretary reopens the deadline dates for the submission of 
applications by certain applicants (see ELIGIBILITY) under certain 
direct grant programs. All of the affected competitions are among those 
under which the Secretary is making new awards for fiscal year (FY) 
2000. 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 resulting from 
Hurricane Floyd. The reopenings are intended to help these potential 
applicants compete fairly with other applicants under these programs.

    Note: Twelve of the affected programs or competitions are under 
the Rehabilitation Services Administration, Office of Special 
Education and Rehabilitative Services. You can find information 
related to each of these under Group I. Three of the programs or 
competitions are under the National Institute on Disability and 
Rehabilitation Research, Office of Special Education and 
Rehabilitative Services. You can find information related to each of 
these under Group II.

ELIGIBILITY: The extension of deadline dates in this notice applies to 
you if you are a potential applicant in an area that the President 
declared a disaster area as a result of Hurricane Floyd. These areas 
include the following:
