Programs application deadline for certain applicants.

SUMMARY: For certain applicants, the Department reopens the Elementary

the deadline for submitting applications and the deadline for
intergovernmental review. On April 27 and 28, 2014, certain prospective
applicants were adversely affected by severe weather in Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, and Mississippi, which prevented them from
submitting applications by the original deadline date of April 28,
2014.
DATES: Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: June 16, 2014.
Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: August 15, 2014.

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.
