On May 18, 2005 (70 FR 28553), HUD published a technical correction to the SuperNOFA extending due dates and providing instruction corrections for a number of programs published as part of the SuperNOFA. On Tuesday, May 17, 2005, the Grants.gov website was the target of a ‘‘denial of service attack.’’ Over the next 35 hours that the attack was underway, Grants.gov experienced a significant degradation in performance. The processing capacity degraded by this attack, coupled with a high volume of application submissions, rendered the Grants.gov website almost inaccessible during certain times between Tuesday, May 17, 2005 and Thursday, May 19, 2005. Information regarding the attack can be obtained at https://www.cert.org/ tech_tips/denial_of_service.html#1. HUD understands that eligible NOFA applicants submitting electronic submissions between Tuesday, May 17, 2005 and Thursday, May 19, 2005 may have had difficulty submitting their applications. Therefore, in order to give all NOFA applicants affected by the technical problem sufficient time to submit completed applications, this Notice published in today’s Federal Register provides a grace period and extended deadline date for those affected NOFA competitions. The grace periods and extended electronic submission deadline date for the affected NOFA competitions are as follows: BILLING CODE 4210–01–P E:\FR\FM\25MYN1.SGM 25MYN1
