SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 13, 2021, we published in the
Federal Register (86 FR 36722) the NIA for the National Comprehensive
Center on Improving Literacy for Students With Disabilities. Under the
NIA, applications were due on September 1, 2021. We are reopening this
competition for affected applicants until September 13, 2021, to allow
those applicants more time to prepare and submit their applications.
Eligibility: The reopening of this competition applies to eligible
applicants under the National Comprehensive Center on Improving
Literacy for Students With Disabilities competition that are affected
applicants. An eligible applicant for this competition is defined in
the NIA. The federally declared disaster areas under these declarations
are the jurisdictions identified by FEMA under declarations DR-4611-LA
and EM-3569-MS 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/4611">www.fema.gov/disaster/4611</a>,
<a href="http://www.fema.gov/disaster/4611/designated-areas">www.fema.gov/disaster/4611/designated-areas</a>, <a href="http://www.fema.gov/disaster/3569">www.fema.gov/disaster/3569</a>, and <a href="http://www.fema.gov/disaster/3569/designated-areas">www.fema.gov/disaster/3569/designated-areas</a>.
Affected applicants that have already timely submitted applications
under the FY 2021 National Comprehensive Center on Improving Literacy
for Students With Disabilities competition may submit a new
application, but they are not required to do so. If a new application
is not submitted, the Department will use the application that was
submitted by the original deadline. If a new application is submitted,
the Department will consider the application that is last submitted and
timely received. Applications that did not meet the original deadline
must be resubmitted to be considered for review. An affected applicant
submitting an application as part of the reopened competition must
provide supporting information (e.g., by including the applicant's
organization address) in its application that it is located in a
jurisdiction that is part of one of the applicable federally declared
disaster areas and must provide appropriate supporting documentation,
if requested.
We are not reopening the application period for all applicants.
Thus, applications from applicants that are not affected applicants may
not be submitted as part of this reopened period for submission of
applications.
Note: All information in the NIA remains the same, except for the
deadline date for affected applicants.

Assistance Act of 2002 (20 U.S.C. 9602) and section 2244 of the
