SUMMARY: On March 21, 2024, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice inviting applications (NIA) for the FY 2024 Technical 
Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for 
Children with Disabilities--The National Center for Systemic 
Improvement competition, Assistance Listing Number 84.326R. The 
Department is correcting the NIA by decreasing the estimated available 
funds and updating the maximum award amounts as well as extending the 
deadline date for transmittal of applications until May 22, 2024 and 
the deadline for intergovernmental review until July 22, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of March 21, 2024, 
we published the NIA in the Federal Register (89 FR 20184). The NIA 
established a deadline date of May 20, 2024, for the transmittal of 
applications. We are extending the deadline date for transmittal of 
applications, because the Grants.gov platform will be closed for site 
maintenance from May 18-21, 2024. Since applicants will be unable to 
submit applications or work in the Grants.gov system during that time, 
we are extending the deadline to allow applicants additional time to 
complete and submit their applications. Following the publication of 
the NIA, the President signed the Further Consolidated Appropriations 
Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-47), on March 23, 2024. Title III of the Further 
Consolidated Appropriations Act decreased funding for the Technical 
Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for 
Children with Disabilities program. Accordingly, we are correcting the 
NIA to reflect the updated estimated available funds maximum award 
amounts for this competition.
    Applicants that have already submitted applications under this 
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 was last successfully submitted and received by 11:59:59 p.m., 
Eastern Time on the application deadline.
    Note: All information in the NIA, including eligibility criteria, 
remains the same, except for the estimated funding amount and maximum 
award amounts.
    Information about Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve 
Services and Results for Children with Disabilities is available on the 
Department's website at https://www2.ed.gov/programs/oseptad/index.html.
    Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1463 and 1481.
