ACTION: Reopening of closing date for transmittal of applications for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 1997 under the Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies Program (formula grant program) authorized under Subpart 1 of Part A of Title IX of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: On December 19, 1996, a notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 1997 for the Indian Education formula grant program was published in the Federal Register (61 FR 67178). That notice provided detailed information concerning this program and established March 10, 1997 as the deadline date for receipt of applications. This notice reopens the deadlines for transmittal of applications and for intergovernmental review as originally established in the December 19, 1996 notice. Applicants that have already submitted an application need not submit another application. However, those applicants have until the new closing date to submit any revisions to their application. Deadline for Transmittal of Applications The new closing date is June 16, 1997. Applications not meeting the deadline will not be considered for funding in the initial allocation of awards. Applications not meeting the deadline may be considered for funding if the Secretary determines, under Section 9117(d), Subpart l, Part A of Title IX, ESEA, that funds are available and that reallocation of those funds to those applicants would best assist in advancing the purposes of the program. However, the amount and date of an individual award, if any, made under Section 9117(d) may not be the same to which the applicant would have been entitled if the application had been submitted on time. Deadline for Intergovernmental Review The new date is August 15, 1997.
