SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 10, 2021, we published in the 
Federal Register (86 FR 30921) the NIA for the Education Research and 
Special Education Research Programs. We are reopening the affected 
competitions until September 30, 2021, to allow affected applicants 
more time to prepare and submit their applications.

Eligibility

    The reopening applies to eligible applicants under the affected 
competitions--ALNs 84.305A, 84.305B, 84.305R, and 84.324X-2--that are 
affected applicants. Eligibility requirements for applicants for the 
affected competitions are specified in the NIA. The federally declared 
major disaster areas under these declarations are the jurisdictions 
identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency under 
declarations DR-4609-TN, DR-4610-CA, DR-4611-LA, DR-4614-NJ, and DR-
4615-NY in which assistance to individuals or public assistance has 
been authorized. To determine if you are an affected applicant, see the 
Emergency Declarations available at: <a href="http://www.fema.gov/disaster/4609">www.fema.gov/disaster/4609</a>, 
<a href="http://www.fema.gov/disaster/4610">www.fema.gov/disaster/4610</a>, <a href="http://www.fema.gov/disaster/4611">www.fema.gov/disaster/4611</a>, <a href="http://www.fema.gov/disaster/4614">www.fema.gov/disaster/4614</a>, and <a href="http://www.fema.gov/disaster/4615">www.fema.gov/disaster/4615</a>.
    To qualify as an affected applicant, the applicant must either have 
a mailing address that is located in a jurisdiction that is part of one 
of the applicable federally declared disaster areas or provide a 
certification in its application that it or its planned subawardees and 
contractors identified in the application are located in one of these 
areas. Affected applicants must also provide appropriate supporting 
documentation, if requested.
    We are not reopening the application period for all applicants. 
Therefore, we will reject any application submitted as part of this 
reopened application submission period from applicants that are not 
affected applicants.

    Note: All information in the NIA for this competition remains 
the same, except for the deadline date for the transmittal of 
applications for affected applicants.
