[Federal Register: October 30, 1995 (Volume 60, Number 209)] [Notices] [Page 55247] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION [CFDA No.: 84.023] Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services; Research in Education of Individuals With Disabilities Program ACTION: Extension Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PURPOSE: On August 10, 1995, the Secretary published in the Federal Register (60 FR 40956) a combined application notice (CAN) inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year 1996 under a number of the Department's direct grant and fellowship programs. Included in the CAN were three competitions under the Research in Education of Individuals with Disabilities Program. The purpose of this notice is to revise the closing date for one of those competitions. The closing date for the Field-Initiated Research Projects competition, CFDA No. 84.023C, has been extended to March 29, 1996. This action is taken in consideration of the current proposals in the Congress that either eliminate or substantially reduce funding for the program. Extending the closing date for this competition allows the Department and potential applicants time to consider further developments related to the fiscal year 1996 appropriation.
