AGENCY:
On December 7, 2009, we
published in the Federal Register (74
FR 64059–64062) a notice inviting
applications for eligibility for the
programs authorized under Titles III and
Title V of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended (FY 2010 Eligibility
Notice). The FY 2010 Eligibility Notice
established a January 6, 2010 deadline
date for applicants to apply for
designation as an eligible institution
under the Title III and Title V programs.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this
notice, the Department announces the
reopening of the period for submitting
an application for a designation of
eligibility. This reopening of the
application period applies only to those
institutions that intend to apply for new
awards in competitions to be announced
this fall under the AANAPISI, NASNTI,
HSI–STEM, and PBI programs. This
limited reopening is intended to ensure
that all potential applicants to the
AANAPISI, NASNTI, HSI–STEM, and
PBI programs have the opportunity to
submit applications for eligibility prior
to the announcement of these
competitions. (While HSI–STEM was
not included in the FY 2010 Eligibility

due to funds made available by the
Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility
Act.) If you have already submitted an
application for eligibility based on the

designated as eligible, you do not need
