DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION


Reopening the Application for Title V Eligibility Designation for 
Fiscal Year 2014; Promoting Postbaccalaureate Opportunities for 
Hispanic Americans Program (PPOHA)

AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary Education, Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.031M.

SUMMARY: In this notice, the Department announces the reopening of the 
period for submitting an application for a designation of eligibility 
under the PPOHA program by those institutions that intend to apply for 
a grant under the PPOHA program to be announced later in 2014. The 
decision to hold a new competition for PPOHA was made after the FY 2014 
Eligibility Notice deadline of March 7, 2014. The eligibility process 
is being reopened to allow institutions that have not yet applied for 
eligibility to submit applications. This limited reopening is intended 
to ensure that all potential applicants to the PPOHA program have the 
opportunity to submit applications for eligibility prior to the 
announcement of this competition. If you have already submitted an 
application for eligibility in response to the FY 2014 Eligibility 
Notice, you do not need to resubmit your application.

DATES: Application Available: April 14, 2014.
    Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: May 14, 2014.

submitted electronically using the following Web site: https://opeweb.ed.gov/title3and5.
