SUMMARY: On January 19, 2006, we published in the Federal Register (71 
FR 3062) a notice inviting applications for the AP Test Fee FY 2006 
competition. The original notice for this FY 2006 competition 
established a February 21, 2006 deadline date for eligible applicants 
to apply for funding under this program.
    In order to afford as many eligible applicants as possible an 
opportunity to receive funding under this program, we are reopening the 
AP Test Fee FY 2006 competition. The new application deadline date for 
the competition is April 12, 2006.

date.


    Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: The deadline date for 
Intergovernmental Review under Executive Order 12372 remains as 
originally published, April 19, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Any eligible applicant may apply for funding 
under this program by the deadline in this notice. Eligible applicants 
that submitted their applications for the AP Test Fee FY 2006 
competition to the Department prior to the competition's original 
deadline date of February 21, 2006, are not required to re-submit their 
applications or re-apply in order to be considered for FY 2006 awards
