SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 13, 2021, we published in the Federal Register (86 FR 36722) the NIA for the National Comprehensive Center on Improving Literacy for Students With Disabilities. Under the NIA, applications were due on September 1, 2021. We are reopening this competition for affected applicants until September 13, 2021, to allow those applicants more time to prepare and submit their applications.

Eligibility: The reopening of this competition applies to eligible applicants under the National Comprehensive Center on Improving Literacy for Students With Disabilities competition that are affected applicants.

An eligible applicant for this competition is defined in the NIA. The federally declared disaster areas under these declarations are the jurisdictions identified by FEMA under declarations DR–4611–LA and EM–3569–MS in which assistance to individuals or public assistance has been authorized.

To determine if you are an affected applicant, see the Emergency Declarations available at:

www.fema.gov/disaster/4611, www.fema.gov/disaster/4611/ designated-areas, www.fema.gov/ disaster/3569, and www.fema.gov/ disaster/3569/designated-areas.

Affected applicants that have already timely submitted applications under the FY 2021 National Comprehensive Center on Improving Literacy for Students With Disabilities competition may submit a new application, but they 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. Applications that did not meet the original deadline must be resubmitted to be considered for review.

An affected applicant submitting an application as part of the reopened competition must provide supporting information (e.g., by including the applicant’s organization address) in its application that it is located in a jurisdiction that is part of one of the applicable federally declared disaster areas and must provide appropriate supporting documentation, if requested.

We are not reopening the application period for all applicants. Thus, applications from applicants that are not affected applicants may not be submitted as part of this reopened period for submission of applications.

Note: All information in the NIA remains the same, except for the deadline date for affected applicants.
