Gulf of Mexico Oyster Industry Program

AGENCY: National Sea Grant College Program, Office of Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Research, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,

ACTION: Notice; extension of Sea Grant Programs forwarding 
applications.

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

SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 
publishes this notice to extend the date by which Sea Grant Programs 
must forward applications for the Gulf of Mexico Oyster Industry 
Program to the National Sea Grant Office (NSGO). The submission date 
for forwarding applications has been changed to allow more time for the 
Sea Grant programs to forward proposals to the National Sea Grant 
College Office. This extension is being granted to ease the transition 
to electronic grants submissions through the Grants.gov portal. The 
application deadline for PI's to the state Sea Grant program remains 
the same.

DATES: The new Preapplication/Application Deadline is as follows: Full 
proposals must be received by a state Sea Grant Program (or by the 
National Sea Grant Office (NSGO) in the case of an applicant in a non-
Sea Grant state) by 4 p.m. (local time) on November 16, 2004. State Sea 
Grant Programs must forward all full proposals to the NSGO by 4 p.m. 
e.s.t. on December 1, 2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOAA publishes this notice to extend an 
application deadline for the Gulf of Mexico Oyster Industry Program 
initiated by the NSGO. The original solicitation of applications was 
published in the Federal Register on June 30, 2004 (69 FR 39417).
    The date by which the state Sea Grant Office must forward full 
applications to the National Sea Grant Office has been changed from 
November 16, 2004, to December 1, 2004, to allow more time for the Sea 
Grant programs to forward proposals to the National Sea Grant College 
Office.
    This extension is being granted to ease the transition to 
electronic grants submissions through the Grants.gov portal. The 
application deadline for PI's to the state Sea Grant program remains 
the same.
    In addition, the FFO has been modified to permit the submission of 
Electronic Applications through the Grants.gov Web site and to reduce 
the number of copies required for paper submission.
