SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 1, 2002, we published in the Federal Register (67 FR 
61649) a notice announcing the final implementation guidelines and 
requesting proposals for the fiscal year 2002 Private Stewardship 
Grants Program. In that notice, we stated that project proposals must 
be received by the appropriate Regional Office by no later than 
December 2, 2002. In order to provide the public with additional time 
to become familiar with the program requirements and prepare proposals 
for this new program, we are now extending the due date for submission 
of project proposals under this program to January 15, 2003.

How To Apply for a PSGP Grant

    You must follow the instructions in the October 1, 2002, Federal 
Register (67 FR 61649) document in order to apply for financial 
assistance under the PSGP. For a description of the information that 
must be included in a project proposal, please see ``The PSGP Project 
Proposal'' section in the October 1, 2002, Federal Register document. 
Your project proposal should not be bound in any manner and must be 
printed on one side only. You must submit one signed original and two 
signed copies of your project proposal (including supporting 
information). Your unbound (a binder clip is allowed) project proposal 
must now be received by the appropriate Regional Office listed in Table 
1 by January 15, 2003. We encourage you to contact the Regional contact 
person listed in Table 1 prior to submitting a project proposal should 
you have questions regarding what information must be submitted with 
the project proposal. An incomplete proposal will not be considered for 
funding.
