Notice of open meeting.
AGENCY:
On January 31, 2005 we
published a notice in the Federal
Register (70 FR 4826) that established a
deadline of March 17, 2005 for
mandatory electronic transmittal of
applications for the fiscal year 2005
Indian Education Professional
Development Grants competition
through the Grants.gov system. The
purpose of this notice is to reopen the
notice inviting applications for this
program, with a new deadline for
transmittal of applications. The notice
inviting applications is being reopened
because some applicants may have
experienced problems completing the
multi-step Grants.gov registration
process that prevented them from
submitting timely applications or
problems with server availability on the
closing date.
DATES: The new deadline for the
transmittal of applications or
amendments to applications already
submitted is April 25, 2005.
