SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 7, 2023, we published the NIA in the 
Federal Register (88 FR 37222). Under the NIA, applications are due on 
August 8, 2023. We are extending the deadline for transmittal of 
applications for affected applicants (as defined under Eligibility) to 
allow these applicants more time--until August 16, 2023--to prepare and 
submit their applications.
    Eligibility: The application deadline extension applies only to 
eligible applicants under the FY 2023 FSCS competition that are 
affected applicants. An eligible applicant for this competition is 
defined in the NIA. To qualify as an affected applicant, the applicant 
must have a mailing address that is located in the federally declared 
disaster area and must provide appropriate supporting documentation, if 
requested.
    The applicable federally declared disaster area under this 
declaration is the area in which assistance to individuals or public 
assistance has been authorized under FEMA's disaster declaration for 
New York Severe Storms and Flooding (DR-4723-NY), Vermont Severe 
Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4720-VT), and Oklahoma 
Severe Storms, Straight-line Winds, and Tornadoes (DR-4721-OK). See the 
disaster declarations at: https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4723, https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4720, and https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4721.
    Affected applicants that have already timely submitted applications 
under the FY 2023 FSCS competition may resubmit applications on or 
before the extended application deadline of August 16, 2023, 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 last submitted and timely received by 
11:59:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 16, 2023.
    Any application submitted by an affected applicant under the 
extended deadline must contain evidence (e.g., the applicant 
organization mailing address) that the applicant is located in one of 
the applicable federally declared disaster areas and, if requested, 
must provide appropriate supporting documentation.
    The application period is not extended for all applicants. 
Applications from applicants that are not affected, as defined above, 
will not be accepted past the August 8, 2023, deadline.
    Note: All information in the NIA for this competition remains the 
same, except for the extended date for the transmittal of applications 
for affected applicants and the deadline for intergovernmental review.
    Program Authority: Sections 4621-4623 and 4625 of the Elementary 
and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended.
