SUMMARY: On January 12 2021, the Department of Education (Department) 
published in the Federal Register a notice inviting applications (NIA) 
for the fiscal year (FY) 2021 Alaska Native Education (ANE) program 
competition, Assistance Listing Number 84.356A. The Department is 
amending the NIA by increasing the estimated available funds and number 
of awards and extending the deadline date for transmittal of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 12, 2021, we published in the 
Federal Register (86 FR 2392) the NIA for the FY 2021 ANE competition. 
Following publication of the NIA, President Biden signed the American 
Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which provides $85,000,000 for awards to 
entities eligible to receive grants under the ANE program. Accordingly, 
we are amending the NIA to notify prospective applicants that we are 
increasing the estimated available funds and estimated number of 
awards, and are making related conforming changes. In addition, we are 
extending the deadline for transmittal of applications in order to 
allow applicants more time to prepare and submit their applications. 
The application package will be adjusted to reflect the changes.
    Applicants that have already submitted applications under the FY 
2021 ANE competition may resubmit applications, but are not required to 
do so. If a new application is not submitted, the Department will use 
the application that was submitted by the original deadline. If a new 
application is submitted, the Department will consider the application 
that is most recently submitted before the deadline of May 3, 2021.
    All other requirements and conditions stated in the NIA remain the 
same.
