as published in the original Federal Register Notice on February 11, 
2004.

    MBDA anticipates that awards for the MBDC program will be made with

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 19, 2004, MBDA published a 
Federal Register Notice revising the funding level for the MBDC program 
(69 FR 7725). Due to an inadvertent error, the February 19, 2004 notice 
incorrectly states the closing date for applications for the Minority 
Business Development Center (MBDC) program. MBDA publishes this notice 
to clarify that the closing date for competitive applications for the 
MBDC program is March 12, 2004, as published in the original Federal 
Register Notice on February 11, 2004 (69 FR 6642).

    Dated: February 24, 2004.

Budget Officer, Minority Business Development Agency.
