ACTION: Notice modifying delivery address for receipt of cooperative

SUMMARY: This notice modifies the delivery address and instructions 
previously established for receipt of applications under the Operation 
Safe Commerce Cooperative Agreement Program (Program Announcement 
02MLPA0001) in 68 FR 5071, Jan. 31, 2003.
    For applications sent by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), the 
applicant should mail its application to: Mary Heying or Tony Corio, 
Attn.: Operation Safe Commerce Cooperative Agreement Program, 
Transportation Security Administration Headquarters, Office of Maritime 
and Land Security, West Tower, 9th Floor North, TSA-8, 400 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. An application received by the 
Office of Maritime & Land Security after the closing date will not be 
considered unless it was sent by at least first-class mail no later 
than 5 calendar days before the closing date or was sent by first-class 
mail and it was determined by TSA that late receipt was due solely to 
mishandling after receipt at TSA. Proof of mailing consists of a 
legibly dated USPS postmark; a legible mail receipt with the date of 
mailing stamped by the USPS; or a dated shipping label, invoice, or 
receipt from a commercial carrier. A private metered postmark will not 
be considered as proof of mailing. (Note: The USPS does not always 
provide a dated postmark. Before relying on this method, the applicant 
should check with its local post office.)
    For applications delivered by hand or by a next-day express 
delivery service, the application should be delivered to: 
Transportation Security Administration Headquarters, Office of Maritime 
and Land Security, West Tower, 9th Floor North, 701 South 12th Street,

of Maritime & Land Security after 4 pm (EST) on the closing date.
