School Choice Incentive Program; Notice Reopening Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 
Competition for the DC School Choice Incentive Program.

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.370A.
    Summary: On April 23, 2009, we published in the Federal Register 
(74 FR 18567) a notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2009 
for the DC School Choice Incentive Program. The original notice for the 
FY 2009 DC School Choice Incentive Program competition established a 
May 26, 2009, deadline date for eligible applicants to apply for 
funding under this program. The notice in the Federal Register required 
applicants for this competition to submit their applications in paper 
format by mail or hand delivery. The application package and 
instructions on the Department's Web site, however, mistakenly 
instructed applicants to use the e-Grants.ed.gov Web site. Because of 
the differing instructions, we are reopening and establishing a new 
deadline for the submission of applications for the FY 2009 competition 
for the DC School Choice Incentive Program competition. Applicants must 
refer to the notice inviting applications for new awards that was 
published in the Federal Register on April 23, 2009 (74 FR

18567) for all other requirements concerning this reopened competition.
    The new deadline date is:
    Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: July 13, 2009.
    Applications for grants under this competition must be submitted in 
paper format by mail or hand delivery. For information (other than the 
deadline for submission) about how to submit your application, please 
refer to section IV.6. Other Submission Requirements in the April 23, 
2009 Federal Register notice (74 FR 18527).

    Note:  For all applicants who previously submitted an 
application in accordance with the April 23, 2009 Federal Register 
notice with the original application deadline of May 26, 2009; you 
must submit a new application. The current application package is 
posted on the program's Web site at: http://www.ed.gov/programs/dcchoice/applicant.html.
