SUMMARY: On May 14, 2009, we published in the Federal Register (74 FR 22729) a notice inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2009 for the American Indian Vocational Rehabilitation Services (AIVRS) program. The application notice for the FY 2009 AIVRS program competition established a July 23, 2009, deadline date for eligible applicants to apply for funding under this program. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register we have published interim final regulations that amend the regulatory definition of the term consortium under the AIVRS program. In order to apply this change to entities applying for a FY 2009 grant, through this notice, we are reopening the competition and establishing a new deadline for the submission of applications by those applicants affected by the change.

E:\FR\FM\12AUN1.SGM 12AUN1 40576 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 154 / Wednesday, August 12, 2009 / Notices Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, the Department has amended the definition of the term consortium in the regulations for the AIVRS program (34 CFR 371.4(b)). The purpose of this regulatory change is to ensure that any consortium of Indian tribes could establish a separate legal entity to apply for a grant under this program. Prior to this regulatory change, the Department’s definition of the term consortium under the AIVRS program required Indian tribes that choose to form a consortium to designate one of the Indian tribes of the consortium to serve as the grantee; it did not also permit the Indian tribes in the consortium to create a separate legal entity that would serve as the grantee on behalf of the consortium and be responsible for using the grant funds to provide services to all the Indian tribes in the consortium. To ensure that the change in the regulatory definition of the term consortium under the AIVRS program applies to entities applying for a FY 2009 grant, we are reopening the competition and establishing a new deadline for the submission of applications. Only groups of Indian tribes that seek to apply for funding under the AIVRS program as a consortium using a separate legal entity as the applicant are permitted to submit an application under this reopened competition. Applicants that submitted applications by the July 23, 2009, deadline date in accordance with the terms of the May 14, 2009, notice inviting applications are not required to submit new applications. If an applicant that has already submitted an application for this competition now chooses to join a consortium and have a separate legal entity apply on behalf of the consortium, the applicant must notify the Department and reapply using the separate legal entity as the applicant by the deadline date in this notice. The new deadline date is: Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: September 11, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal 
Register, the Department has amended the definition of the term 
consortium in the regulations for the AIVRS program (34 CFR 371.4(b)). 
The purpose of this regulatory change is to ensure that any consortium 
of Indian tribes could establish a separate legal entity to apply for a 
grant under this program. Prior to this regulatory change, the 
Department's definition of the term consortium under the AIVRS program 
required Indian tribes that choose to form a consortium to designate 
one of the Indian tribes of the consortium to serve as the grantee; it 
did not also permit the Indian tribes in the consortium to create a 
separate legal entity that would serve as the grantee on behalf of the 
consortium and be responsible for using the grant funds to provide 
services to all the Indian tribes in the consortium. To ensure that the 
change in the regulatory definition of the term consortium under the 
AIVRS program applies to entities applying for a FY 2009 grant, we are 
reopening the competition and establishing a new deadline for the 
submission of applications.
    Only groups of Indian tribes that seek to apply for funding under 
the AIVRS program as a consortium using a separate legal entity as the 
applicant are permitted to submit an application under this reopened 
competition. Applicants that submitted applications by the July 23, 
2009, deadline date in accordance with the terms of the May 14, 2009, 
notice inviting applications are not required to submit new 
applications. If an applicant that has already submitted an application 
for this competition now chooses to join a consortium and have a 
separate legal entity apply on behalf of the consortium, the applicant 
must notify the Department and reapply using the separate legal entity 
as the applicant by the deadline date in this notice.
    The new deadline date is:
    Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: September 11, 2009.
    For information (other than the deadline for submission) about how 
to submit your application, please refer to section IV. 6. Other 
Submission Requirements in the May 14, 2009 Federal Register notice (74 
FR 22729).
