Projects With Industry

    Notice reopening the closing date for transmittal of applications 
for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 1998.
    Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: The deadline date for 
transmittal of applications is reopened from January 13, 1998, to April 
21, 1998.
    On October 30, 1997, the Secretary published in the Federal 
Register (62 FR 58725) a notice inviting applications for new awards 
for fiscal year 1998 under the Projects With Industry program.
    The purpose of this notice is to reopen the deadline date for 
transmittal of applications. This action is taken because a Department 
World Wide Web site inadvertently contained the fiscal year 1997, and 
not the fiscal year 1998, application kit and fiscal year 1998 notice 
inviting applications for new awards under the Projects With Industry 
program. The Department discontinued public access to the fiscal year 
1997 application kit and notice on January 8, 1998, but applicants who 
visited the World Wide Web site prior to that date may have downloaded 
and mistakenly used the fiscal year 1997 application kit to prepare for 
the fiscal year 1998 competition. Applicants must use the fiscal year 
1998 application kit for the fiscal year 1998 competition.
    Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: June 20, 1998.
    For Applications Contact: The Grants and Contracts Service Team 
(GCST), U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Avenue, S.W., 
Room 3317, Switzer Building, Washington, D.C. 20202-2649. Telephone: 
[phone]. The preferred method for requesting applications is to

package in an alternate format by contacting the GCST. However, the 
Department is not able to reproduce in an alternate format the standard
