SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 24, 2024, we published the NIA in 
the Federal Register (89 FR 31151). Under the NIA, applications are due 
on July 23, 2024. We are extending the deadline for transmittal of 
applications for affected applicants (as defined under Eligibility) to 
allow these applicants more time--until July 29, 2024--to prepare and 
submit their applications.
    Eligibility: The application deadline extension applies only to 
eligible applicants under the FY 2024 SFIG Program 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 
Texas Hurricane Beryl DR-4798-TX. See the disaster declaration 
available at https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4798.
    Affected applicants that have already timely submitted applications 
under the FY 2024 SFIG Program competition may resubmit applications on 
or before the extended application deadline of July 29, 2024, 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 July 29, 2024.
    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 the 
applicable federally declared disaster area and, if requested, the 
applicant 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 original July 23, 2024 deadline.
    Note: All information in the NIA for this competition remains the 
same, except for the deadline for the transmittal of applications and 
the deadline for intergovernmental review.
    Program Authority: Title IV, Part C Section 4304 of the ESEA, as
