DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

[CFDA No. 84.184H]


Office of Elementary and Secondary Education--Safe and Drug-Free 
Schools and Communities--National Programs

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice reopening application deadline date.

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

SUMMARY: The Secretary reopens the deadline date for the submission of 
applications for the Grant Competition to Prevent High-Risk Drinking 
and Violent Behavior Among College Students. The Secretary takes this 
action because certain potential applicants may have been affected by 
severe weather-related occurrences that precluded them from submitting 
their applications before the originally announced application deadline 
date. The reopening is intended to help these potential applicants 
compete fairly with other applicants under this program.
    Background: On December 27, 2000, the Department published a 
combined notice inviting applications for new awards for direct grant 
competitions under Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities National 
Programs (65 FR 82222). That notice set February 16, 2001, as the 
deadline date for the submission of applications under Grant 
Competition to Prevent High-Risk Drinking and Violent Behavior Among 
College Students.

DATES: The new application deadline date is March 23, 2001. The 
deadline for intergovernmental review remains April 16, 2001.
