SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 3, 2022, we published an NIA in the Federal Register (87 FR 33763). In the NIA, we indicated that the deadline for intergovernmental review is October 3, 2022. However, because the Department must make awards by September 30, 2022, we are partially waiving the intergovernmental review period. Specifically, we are reducing it from 60 days after the deadline for transmittal of applications to 30 days after the deadline for transmittal of applications. We are making this correction in order to make awards by the Department's September 30, 2022, deadline to obligate these funds. As a result, we are correcting the deadline for intergovernmental review to September 1, 2022. All other information in the NIA remains the same. -
