SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 9, 2022, we published the NIA in
the Federal Register (87 FR 7433). Following the publication of the
NIA, the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying Division H of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Pub. L. 117-103) indicated an
intent by Congress to provide no less than $9,000,000 from the amount
appropriated for the Educational Technology, Media, and Materials
Program for a new Educational Materials in Accessible Formats for
Eligible Children and Students With Disabilities competition.
Accordingly, we are amending the NIA to notify prospective applicants
that we are increasing the estimated available funds and maximum award
amount. Applicants that have already submitted applications under the
FY 2022 Educational Materials in Accessible Formats for Eligible
Children and Students With Disabilities competition may resubmit
applications, but are not required to do so. If a new application
[[Page 19904]]
is not submitted, the Department will use the application that was
submitted by the deadline. If a new application is submitted, the
Department will consider the most recent application submitted before
the deadline of April 11, 2022.
Other than the estimated available funds and maximum award amount,
all other requirements and conditions stated in the NIA remain the
same.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1474 and 1481.

for this competition. The actual level of funding, if any, depends on
