the Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) formula grant program, 
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number 84.358A. The 
notice of application deadline established a deadline date of June 30, 
2017, for eligible local education agencies (LEAs) to submit their FY 
2017 SRSA applications in the Grants.gov system. This notice reopens 
the application period in Grants.gov until July 28, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are reopening the application deadline 
date for FY 2017 SRSA grant applications in order to allow eligible 
LEAs additional time to complete and submit their applications. All 
LEAs eligible to receive an SRSA award are required to submit an SRSA 
application in order to receive SRSA funds, regardless of whether the 
LEA received an award in prior years. An LEA eligible to receive FY 
2017 SRSA funds that fails to submit an FY 2017 SRSA application or 
fails to submit an application in accordance with the application 
submission procedures will not receive an SRSA award this September.
    Applicants that did not meet the initial June 30, 2017 deadline 
must submit applications by July 28, 2017 to be considered for FY 2017 
funding.
