[Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.328M]

AGENCY:

Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, Department of Education.

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

This notice reopens the FY 2013 Parent Training and Information Centers competition, authorized by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), as amended. We published a notice inviting applications (NIA) for this competition on April 25, 2013, in the Federal Register. The notice provided a deadline date of June 10, 2013, as well as other information, for the transmittal of applications.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

We are reopening the Parent Training and Information Centers competition that was announced in the NIA published on April 25, 2013, in the Federal Register (78 FR 24395-24401) because there have been significant problems with the interface between the System for Award Management (SAM), the Government's primary registrant database, and the Grants.gov Apply site (Grants.gov) that may have prevented applicants from meeting the June 10, 2013, deadline. We want to provide any applicant in this competition that was affected by these problems with additional time to submit an application.

Any applicant that has already submitted an application under the FY 2013 Parent Training and Information Centers competition does not need to resubmit its application.

DATES:

Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: July 9, 2013. Note to Applicants: The notice published on April 25, 2013, provides other information that applies to this competition. Specifically, the priority in that notice, entitled “Parent Training and Information Centers,” identifies the requirements for applications submitted in response to this notice, including the eligible entities, the States from which we are accepting applications, and the instructions for submitting applications.

Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: September 9, 2013.
