While applicants are encouraged to submit preapplications in advance of the PreApplication Deadline, pre-applications will not be reviewed until after the PreApplication Deadline. Similarly, while applicants are encouraged to submit applications in advance of the Application Deadline, applications will not be evaluated, and awards will not be made, until after the Application Deadline.

A of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111–117, Dec. 16, 2009)) (the ‘‘FY 2010 Appropriations Act’’). The DOT is referring to the grants for National Infrastructure Investments under the FY 2010 Appropriations Act as ‘‘TIGER II Discretionary Grants.’’ Because this is a new program, the interim notice also requested comments on the proposed selection criteria and guidance for awarding TIGER II Discretionary Grants. The DOT considered the comments that were submitted in accordance with the interim notice and published an additional notice revising some elements of the interim notice on June 1, 2010 (75 FR 30461). This notice makes one additional revision to the notice published on June 1, 2010. This notice extends the deadline for submitting pre-applications from July 16, 2010, at 5 p.m. EDT to July 26, 2010, at 5 p.m. EDT.
