academic degree in areas of personnel shortages in rehabilitation as 
identified by the Secretary;
    (2) Projects that provide a specified series of courses or program 
of study leading to the award of a certificate in areas of personnel 
shortages in rehabilitation as identified by the Secretary; and
    (3) Projects that provide support for medical residents enrolled in 
residency training programs in the specialty of physical medicine and 
rehabilitation.
    The notice inviting applications established a February 3, 2014, 
deadline for the submission of applications. That same day, because of 
technical difficulties and to ensure the accuracy of information in the 
application package, the Department withdrew the application package 
from the Education Publications Center for a period of 18 hours. To 
ensure that all interested parties are provided a minimum of 90 days to 
submit their applications, we are extending the application period for 
one day to February 4, 2014. Consequently, we are also extending the 
deadline for intergovernmental review to April 5, 2014. All other 
information in the November 5, 2013, notice, including the two absolute 
priorities, remains the same.
