DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION


Extension of the Application Deadline Date for the Fiscal Year 
2019 Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems Program

AGENCY: Institute of Education Sciences, Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Institute of Education Sciences extends, for certain 
prospective eligible applicants described elsewhere in this notice, the 
deadline date for transmittal of applications for new awards for fiscal 
year (FY) 2019 under the Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems Program, 
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number 84.372A. The 
Institute takes this action to allow more time for the preparation and 
submission of applications by prospective eligible applicants affected 
by Hurricane Dorian.
    The extension of the application deadline date for this competition 
is intended to help eligible applicants that are located in an area for 
which the President has issued an emergency declaration related to 
Hurricane Dorian in Florida, Puerto Rico, North Carolina, South 
Carolina, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to compete fairly with other 
eligible applicants under this competition.

DATES: Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: September 26, 2019.

or (202) 245-7689.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 19, 2019, we published in the 
Federal Register (82 FR 24695) a notice inviting applications (NIA) for 
new awards for FY 2019 for the Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems 
Program. The application deadline in the NIA was September 17, 2019. We 
are extending the application deadline for this competition for 
applicants in affected areas in Florida, Puerto Rico, North Carolina, 
South Carolina, and the U.S. Virgin Islands in order to allow 
applicants more time to prepare and submit their applications.
    Eligibility: The extension of the application deadline date in this 
notice applies to eligible applicants under the Statewide Longitudinal 
Data Systems Program, CFDA number 84.372A, that are located in an area 
for which the President has issued an emergency declaration (see 
https://www.fema.gov/disasters/), in Florida (FEMA Disaster designation 
3419), Puerto Rico (FEMA Disaster designation 3417), North Carolina 
(FEMA Disaster designation 3423), South Carolina (FEMA Disaster 
designation 3421), and the U.S. Virgin Islands (FEMA Disaster 
designation 3418). Georgia is ineligible for this extension because, 
even though some portions of the State have been granted an ongoing 
FEMA emergency designation, the SEA is not located in one of the 12 
``designated areas'' covered in Georgia under FEMA Disaster designation 
3422.
    In accordance with the NIA, eligible applicants for this 
competition are limited to State educational agencies (SEAs). An SEA is 
the agency primarily responsible for the State supervision of 
elementary schools and secondary schools. See 20 U.S.C. 9601 (which 
incorporates by reference the definition of SEA in section 8101 of the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), 20 
U.S.C. 7801). The SEAs of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the 
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, American 
Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands are 
eligible.

    Note:  All information in the NIA remains the same, except for 
the deadline date for these five SEAs.

    Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 9607.
