SUMMARY: On August 18, 2014, the Departments of Education and Health 
and Human Services published in the Federal Register (79 FR 48854 and 
79 FR 48874) notices inviting applications for new awards for fiscal 
year 2014 for the Preschool Development Grants--Development and 
Preschool Development Grants--Expansion Grants programs. The notices 
established October 14, 2014, as the deadline date for eligible 
applicants to apply for funding under the programs. On October 9, 2014, 
the Departments published in the Federal Register (79 FR 61065) a 
notice extending the deadline for submission to October 15, 2014, after 
learning that the Grants.gov Web site would be unavailable to 
applicants on October 11-12, 2014. It appears that some applicants may 
have encountered technical difficulties in the submission of their 
applications on October 15, 2014. Therefore, we are extending, to 
October 24, 2014, the deadline for transmittal of applications.

DATES: Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: October 24, 2014.
