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.
