Notice Reopening the Deadline Dates for the Transmittal of 
Applications for Certain Direct Grants

SUMMARY: The Secretary reopens the deadline dates for the transmittal 
of applications for several competitions. All of the affected 
competitions are among those under which the Secretary is making new 
awards for fiscal year (FY) 2004. The Secretary takes this action to 
allow more time for the preparation and transmittal of applications by 
potential applicants from counties designated as Federal disaster areas 
due to the California wildfires. The reopening of these deadline dates 
is intended to help the potential applicants compete fairly with other 
applicants under these programs.
    Eligibility: The reopened deadline dates in this notice apply to 
you if you are a potential applicant from a county on the following 
list. The President has declared a major disaster for the following 
counties in California as a result of recent wildfires.
    County: Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and 
Ventura.

DATES: The new deadline date for transmittal of applications under each 
competition is listed with that competition.
    If the program in which you are interested is subject to Executive 
Order 12372, the deadline date for intergovernmental review remains as 
originally posted.

ADDRESSES: The address and telephone number for obtaining applications 
for, or information about, an individual program are in the original 
application notice for that program. We have listed the publication 
date and Federal Register citation of the original application notice 
for each program.
    If you use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD), you may 
call the TDD number, if any, listed in the individual application 
notice. If we have not listed a TDD number, you may call the Federal 
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Two of the affected programs are under the 
Rehabilitation Services Administration of the Office of Special 
Education and Rehabilitative Services, and five are under the Office of 
Postsecondary Education, including the Fund for the Improvement of 
Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) Comprehensive Program. You can find 
information related to each of these programs under the ``List of 
Programs Affected'' in this notice.
