of child labor internationally.

Washington, DC 20210 by September
30, 2011. Any application received after
4:45 p.m. EDT on September 30, 2011
will not be considered unless it was
received before the award is made and:
1. It was sent by registered or certified
mail no later than September 15, 2011.
2. It is determined by the Government
that the late receipt was due solely to
mishandling by the Government after
receipt at the U.S. Department of Labor
at the address indicated; or
3. It was sent by U.S. Postal Service
Express Mail Next Day Service—Post
Office to Addressee, not later than
5 p.m. EDT at the place of mailing,
September 29, 2011.
The only acceptable evidence to
establish the date of mailing of a late
application sent by registered or
certified mail is the U.S. Postal Service
postmark on the envelope or wrapper
and on the original receipt from the U.S.
Postal Service. If the postmark is not
legible, an application received after the
above closing time and date will be
processed as if mailed late. ‘‘Postmark’’
means a printed, stamped, or otherwise
placed impression (not a postage meter
machine impression) that is readily
identifiable without further action as
having been applied and affixed by an
employee of the U.S. Postal Service on
the date of mailing. Therefore,
applicants should request that the postal
clerk place a legible hand cancellation
‘‘bull’s-eye’’ postmark on both the
receipt and the envelope or wrapper.
The only acceptable evidence to
establish the time of receipt at the U.S.
Department of Labor is the date/time
stamp of the ILAB/OCFT on the
application wrapper or other
documentary evidence or receipt
maintained by that office. Applications
sent by other delivery services, such as
Federal Express, UPS, e-mail (to
cook.katherine@dol.gov), etc., will also
be accepted; however, the applicant
bears the responsibility of timely
submission.
