development, implementation, and maintenance of the CDL program is 
eligible to apply for grant funding. To apply for funding, applicants 
must register with the grants.gov Web site (http://www.grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp) and submit an application in accordance 
with instructions provided. Applications for grant funding must be

by December 15, 2006, by qualified applicants. If additional funding 
remains available, applications submitted after December 15, 2006, will 
be considered on a case-by-case basis. Funds will not be available for 
allocation until fiscal year 2007 appropriations legislation is passed 
and signed into law.
