Program
AGENCY: National Telecommunications

Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Funds Availability;
Extension of Application Closing
Deadline for Comprehensive
Community Infrastructure (CCI)
Projects.
SUMMARY: NTIA announces that the new
application closing deadline for the
electronic submission of CCI projects
under the Broadband Technology
Opportunities Program (BTOP) is
extended until 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight
Time (EDT) on March 26, 2010.
DATES: All applications for funding CCI
projects must be submitted
electronically by 10 p.m. EDT on March
26, 2010. There is no change to the
filing deadline for applicants seeking a
waiver of the electronic filing
requirement. For CCI applicants wishing
to apply in another format (e.g., paper),
NTIA must receive the application and
waiver request by 5 p.m. EDT on March
26, 2010.
ADDRESSES: The CCI application
package for electronic submission is
available at https://
www.broadbandusa.gov. See
supplementary information for more
details.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
general inquiries regarding BTOP,
contact Anthony Wilhelm, Director,
BTOP, Office of Telecommunications
and Information Applications, National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue,

telephone: 1–877–508–8364.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 22, 2010, NTIA published a
Notice of Funds Availability and
Solicitation of Applications (Second
NOFA) in the Federal Register
announcing general policy and
application procedures for the second
round of BTOP funding. (75 FR 3792,
Jan. 22, 2010). In the Second NOFA,
NTIA required all applicants to submit
their applications electronically through
an online application system at https://

Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

www.broadbandusa.gov. (75 FR at

window for BTOP projects from
February 16, 2010 at 8 a.m. Eastern
Standard Time (EST) through March 15,
2010 at 5 p.m. EDT (Application Closing
Deadline). On March 3, 2010, NTIA
announced the extension of the
Application Closing Deadline for CCI
projects under BTOP until 5 p.m. EDT
on March 26, 2010. (75 FR 10464, Mar.
8, 2010).
NTIA announces this extension in the
Application Closing Deadline for CCI
projects in the interest of ensuring that
BTOP funding is made available in the
most equitable manner. The complexity
of preparing an infrastructure
application requires applicants to offer
proposals that are truly comprehensive
in scope. NTIA recognizes that
applicants may need the full business
day on Friday, March 26, 2010, to
finalize their proposals. To
accommodate applicants in time zones
other than the Eastern Time zone, NTIA
will extend the filing deadline by five
hours to Friday, March 26, 2010, at 10
p.m. EDT. All other requirements for
electronic submissions set forth in the
Second NOFA remain unchanged.
All applicants are strongly
encouraged to register in the Central
Contractor Registration (CCR) database
now, begin uploading large .pdf files
when they are complete, and submit
their application as early as possible.
Note, however, that an early submission
will not confer any advantage or priority
in review.
