section is corrected to read:

``A. Submission Instructions
    Applications will be accepted during working hours, 8 a.m. to 4:30 
p.m., Monday through Friday, on or before the established receipt date. 
Applications will be considered received on time if sent or mailed on 
or before the receipt date as evidenced by a legible U.S. Postal 
Service dated postmark or a legible date receipt from a commercial 
carrier, unless they arrive too late for orderly processing. Private 
metered postmarks shall not be acceptable as proof of timely mailing. 
Applications not received on time will not be considered for review and 
will be returned to the applicant. Applicants should note that the U.S. 
Postal Service does not uniformly provide dated postmarks. Before 
relying on this method, applicants should check with their local post 
office.
    Do not send applications to the Center for Scientific Research, 
NIH. Any application sent to NIH that is then forwarded to FDA and not 
received in time for orderly processing will be deemed unresponsive and 
returned to the applicant. FDA is able to receive applications via the 
Internet.
    The outside of the mailing package and item 2 of the application 
face page should be labeled `Response to FDA-ORA-04-2.' You must submit 
only one application, an original and two copies, per package.''
    Please note that the only change to section VIII.A is that FDA is 
now accepting applications via the Internet.

    Dated: February 18, 2005.
