SUMMARY: This notice extends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)

June 4, 2013 through July 19, 2013, 5pm eastern standard time. The NOFA 
includes funding priorities for those applicants who will assist 
veterans and their families who are transitioning from military service 
to civilian life in rural or underserved communities. To allow 
applicants more time to complete the application process, VA is 
extending the application deadline to midnight eastern standard time on 
September 19, 2013.

later than midnight eastern standard time on September 19, 2013.

    In the interest of fairness to all competing applicants, this 
deadline of no later than midnight September 19, 2013, is firm as to 
date and hour, and VA will not consider any application that is 
received after the deadline.
