2010-15346. Promise Neighborhoods Program

AGENCY:

Office of Innovation and Improvement, Department of Education.

ACTION:

Notice inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2010; correction; extension of application deadline.

SUMMARY:

On May 5, 2010, we published in the Federal Register (75 FR 10492) a notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2010 for the Promise Neighborhoods Program (May 5 notice). The May 5 notice established a deadline of June 25, 2010, for the submission of applications under this competition. Through this notice, we are correcting the May 5 notice and are extending the deadline for transmittal of applications and the deadline for intergovernmental review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Correction. This notice corrects the May 5 notice by removing language that established a maximum page limit for the application narrative for applications submitted under this competition. We are taking this action because the maximum page limit established for the application narrative was an administrative error and unduly restricts applicant flexibility. To correct this error, the Department makes the following correction to the May 5 notice:

On page 24680, second column, the last paragraph, the word “must” is replaced with the words “are strongly encouraged to”.

Extension. In light of this error, we are extending the deadline for the transmittal of applications to June 28, 2010, and the deadline for intergovernmental review to August 27, 2010. The updated dates are as follows:

Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: June 28, 2010.

Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: August 27, 2010.
