Deadline Extension for Submitting Environmental Education Grant 
Proposals to EPA

    The proposal submission deadline for the ``Environmental Protection 
Agency, 

[[Page 47571]]
Fiscal Year 1996 Environmental Education Grants Program, Solicitation 
Notice,'' is extended from October 13, 1995 to December 15, 1995. The 
original deadline was published in the Federal Register, August 4, 1995 
at 60 FR 39994/Notices Section.
    Due to possible funding delays at the Federal level for fiscal year 
1996, EPA is extending the deadline. This will enable grant applicants 
to spend more time preparing proposals and will give EPA time to fully 
determine what the changes, if any, are to its fiscal year budget. This 
postponement may also delay the EPA awards process until the summer of 
1996. Therefore, proposed projects should have an expected start date 
on or after October 1, 1996, and summer projects may be planned for the 
summer of 1997. EPA regrets any inconvenience these delays may create 
for grant applicants.
    EPA has been very pleased with the quality of proposals received 
over the past four years and looks forward to receiving new proposals 
for 1996. If organizations have submitted a proposal in the past and 
wish to re-apply, they should observe the changes in the Solicitation 
Notice regarding EPA priorities for funding. For a copy of the 
Solicitation Notice, please mail requests to: U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Environmental Education Grants Program (1707), 401 M 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20460.

    Dated: August 30, 1995.

Acting Director, Environmental Education Division.
