SUMMARY: On May 6, 2005, we published in the Federal Register (70 FR

Training--Client Assistance Program's FY 2005 competition. The Dear 
Colleague letter in the application package contained incorrect

this program.
    In order to provide all applicants with a revised Dear Colleague 
letter and an opportunity to receive funding under this program, we are

Program FY 2005 competition. The new application deadline date for the 
competition is July 27, 2005.

(applications must be received by the Electronic Grant Application 
System (e-Application) no later than 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time).

    Note: A copy of the revised Dear Colleague letter will be 
available in the application package. Applications for grants under 
the Rehabilitation Short-Term Training--Client Assistance Program 
must be submitted electronically using the Electronic Grant 
Application System (e-Application) available through the 
Department's e-Grants system. You may not e-mail an electronic copy 
of a grant application to us. For information about how to submit 
your application electronically, please refer to section IV.6.
