2010-30513. Advanced Placement (AP) Test Fee Program

AGENCY:

Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), Department of Education.

ACTION:

Notice reopening the AP Test Fee fiscal year (FY) 2011 competition.

SUMMARY:

On September 1, 2010, we published in the Federal Register (75 FR 53681) a notice inviting applications for the AP Test Fee FY 2011 competition. That notice established a November 17, 2010 deadline date for eligible applicants to apply for funding under this program. In order to afford as many eligible applicants as possible an opportunity to receive funding under this program, we are reopening the AP Test Fee FY 2011 competition to eligible applicants that did not apply for funds by the November 17, 2010 deadline. An eligible applicant that submitted its application by the November 17, 2010 deadline does not need to re-submit its application. All information in the September 1, 2010 notice remains the same for this notice reopening the competition, except for the following updates to Dates.

Dates:

Applications Available: December 6, 2010.

Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: December 21, 2010.

Note:

Applications for grants under this program must be submitted electronically using the Electronic Grant Application System (e-Application) accessible through the Department's e-Grants site. For information about how to submit your application electronically, please refer to Electronic Submission of Applications in the September 1, 2010 notice (75 FR 53682-53683). We encourage eligible applicants to submit their applications as soon as possible to avoid any problems with filing electronic applications on the last day.
