submission of applications for several Rehabilitation Training: 
Rehabilitation Long-Term Training programs. In all of the affected 
competitions, the Assistant Secretary is making new awards for fiscal 
year (FY) 2008. The Assistant Secretary takes this action to allow more 
time for the preparation and submission of applications by potential 
applicants affected by the wildfires in southern California. The 
extension of the application deadline date for these competitions is 
intended to help potential applicants compete fairly with other 
applicants under these programs.

    Note: Information related to each of these competitions can be 
found under the chart entitled ``List of Programs Affected'' in the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice.

    Eligibility: The extension of deadline dates in this notice applies 
to States and public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including 
Indian tribes and institutions of higher education, that are located in 
a Federally-declared disaster area, as determined by the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) (see http://www.fema.gov/news/disasters.fema
), and adversely affected by the wildfires in California. 

You must provide a certification in your application that you meet one 
of these criteria for submitting an application on the Extended 
Deadline and be prepared to provide appropriate supporting 
documentation, if requested. The submission of the electronic 
application serves as your attestation that you meet the criteria for 
submitting an application on the Extended Deadline.

DATES: The new deadline date for transmitting applications under each 
competition is listed with that competition in the chart entitled 
``List of Programs Affected'' in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section 
of this notice. As these programs are subject to Executive Order 12372, 
the relevant deadline for intergovernmental review is also indicated in
