Reopening Notice: Promise Neighborhoods Program--Implementation 
Grant Competition; Promise Neighborhoods Program--Planning Grant 
Competition

AGENCY: Office of Innovation and Improvement, Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Education (Department) reopens the 
competition for transmittal of applications for new awards for fiscal 
year (FY) 2011 under the Promise Neighborhoods Program Implementation 
and Planning grant competitions. The Department takes this action to 
allow more time for the preparation and submission of applications by 
prospective eligible applicants affected by the severe storms, 
flooding, property damage, and loss of electrical power that occurred 
as a result of Hurricane Irene on the East Coast of the United States, 
beginning on August 26, 2011, and continuing through the publication of 
this notice. The reopening of the competitions is intended to help 
affected eligible applicants compete fairly with other eligible 
applicants under this competition. Due to the widespread impact of 
Hurricane Irene, the competition is reopened to all eligible 
applicants.

DATES: The revised deadlines for transmitting applications under the 
Promise Neighborhoods Program Implementation and Planning grant 
competitions are listed in the chart entitled ``List of Affected 
Programs'' in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice.
    Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: The deadline date for 
Intergovernmental Review under Executive Order 12372 is changed from 
November 3, 2011 to November 10, 2011.

for obtaining applications for or information about the Promise 
Neighborhoods Program Implementation and Planning grant competitions
