SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

We make the following corrections:

On page 31315 in the third column in the SUMMARY section, second sentence, first clause, we remove the phrase “FY 2015 with FY 2014 funds” and replace it with the phrase “FY 2014 with FY 2013 funds”. The sentence now correctly reads, “This will enable the four current LINCS RPDC grantees that received awards under the FY 2011 competition to seek a continuation award for one additional year through FY 2014 with FY 2013 funds; and we will not announce a new LINCS RPDC competition for FY 2014.”

On page 31316, in the first column in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, last sentence, we remove the phrase “FY 2015 with FY 2014 funds” replace it with the phrase “FY 2014 with FY 2013 funds”. The sentence now correctly reads, “The Secretary also proposed to extend the project period of LINCS RPDC grants for an additional 12 months to enable the four current LINCS RPDC grantees that received awards under the FY 2011 competition to seek a continuation award for one additional year through FY 2014 with FY 2013 funds.”

On page 31316, under Background, in the third paragraph of the third column, fifth and sixth lines, we remove the reference to “in FY 2014”, and in the eighth line, we remove the reference to “FY 2015” and replace it with “FY 2014”. The sentence now correctly reads, “The Secretary's waiver of 34 CFR 75.261(a) and (c)(2) and extension of the current LINCS RPDC project period means that: (1) Current LINCS RPDC grantees will be authorized to request and receive LINCS RPDC continuation awards for one additional year through FY 2014; (2) we will not announce a new LINCS RPDC competition to make new awards in FY 2014 . . .”

On page 31316, under Background, in the fifth paragraph of the third column, we remove the phrase “FY 2015” with FY 2014, funds” and replace it with the phrase “FY 2014, with FY 2013 funds”. The sentence now correctly reads, “With this final waiver and extension of the project period, the current four LINCS RPDC grantees may request continuation awards for one additional project year, through FY 2014, with FY 2013 funds Congress has appropriated under the current authority in section 243(2)(H) of the AEFLA.”
