intergovernmental review. On April 27 and 28, 2014, certain prospective

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 12, 2014, we published in the 
Federal Register (79 FR 14012) a notice inviting applications for the 
Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Programs grant competition. 
That notice established an April 28, 2014, deadline for submitting an 
application. For prospective applicants who were adversely affected by 
severe weather in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, and Mississippi on April 
27, 2014, we are extending the deadline so that they have sufficient 
time to submit an application. The extension of the application 
deadline date in this notice applies to eligible applicants under the 
Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Programs grant competition 
that are located in a designated area covered by a Presidential Federal 
Disaster Declaration, and which had an incident period that included 
April 27-28, 2014, as determined by the Federal Emergency Management 
Agency (FEMA) (see www.fema.gov/news/disasters.fema). Information on 
the designated areas in each of four affected States can be found at 
the following links: Alabama (http://www.fema.gov/disaster/4176); 
Arkansas (http://www.fema.gov/disaster/4174); Florida (http://www.fema.gov/disaster/4177); and, Mississippi (http://www.fema.gov/disaster/4175). We will not accept applications from applicants who 
were not located in this federally declared disaster area during April 
27-28, 2014.
    Applicants under this competition are required to use Grants.gov to 
submit their application. The Department extends the deadline date for 
this competition to June 16, 2014 so that prospective applicants 
affected by severe weather will have additional time to submit an 
application. As a result of the change in the deadline date, we are 
also extending the deadline date for intergovernmental review only for 
these prospective applicants to August 15, 2014.
    All information in the March 12, 2014, notice for this competition 
remains the same, except for the change in the deadline for submitting 
applications and the deadline for intergovernmental review.
