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

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
