SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 16, 2020, we published the NIA for 
the FY 2020 Ready to Learn Programming competition in the Federal 
Register (85 FR 14929). We are extending the application deadline date 
for this competition in order to allow all eligible applicants more

    An eligible applicant for the Ready to Learn Programming 
competition is a public telecommunications entity as defined in the 
NIA. Additional eligibility requirements are also included in the NIA.

    Note:  All information in the NIA remains the same, except for 
the deadline date for the transmittal of applications, the deadline 
for the notice of intent to apply, and the deadline for 
intergovernmental review. The NIA can be found at: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-03-16/pdf/2020-05357.pdf. Please also note that

applicant that does not have an active SAM registration can still 
register with Grants.gov, but must contact the Grants.gov Support 
Desk, toll-free, at 1-800-518-4726, in order to take advantage of 
this flexibility.
