SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 6, 2024, we published the NIA in the 
Federal Register (89 FR 37185). Under the NIA, applications were due on 
July 22, 2024. We are reopening this competition to allow affected 
applicants (as defined under Eligibility) more time--until July 31, 
2024--to prepare and submit their applications. Eligibility: The 
extended application deadline applies only to eligible applicants under 
the FY 2024 EIR Early-phase Grants competition that are affected 
applicants. An eligible applicant for this competition is defined in 
the NIA. To qualify as an affected applicant, the applicant must have a 
mailing address that is located in the federally declared disaster area 
and

[[Page 60608]]

must provide appropriate supporting documentation, if requested.
    The applicable federally declared disaster area under this 
declaration is the area in which assistance to individuals or public 
assistance has been authorized under FEMA's disaster declaration for 
Texas Hurricane Beryl DR-4798-TX. See the disaster declaration 
available at <a href="https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4798">https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4798</a>.
    Affected applicants that have already timely submitted applications 
under the FY 2024 EIR Early-phase Grants competition may resubmit 
applications on or before the extended application deadline of July 31, 
2024, 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 original deadline. If a new application is submitted, the 
Department will consider the application that is last submitted and 
timely received by 11:59:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 31, 2024.
    Any application submitted by an affected applicant under the 
extended deadline must contain evidence (e.g., the applicant 
organization mailing address) that the applicant is located in the 
applicable federally declared disaster area and, if requested, the 
applicant must provide appropriate supporting documentation.
    The application period is not reopened for all applicants. 
Applications from applicants that are not affected, as defined above, 
will not be accepted past the original July 22, 2024, deadline.
    Note: All information in the NIA for this competition remains the 
same, except for the deadline for the transmittal of applications for 
affected applicants and the deadline for intergovernmental review.
