Transmittal Deadline Date for Jacob K. Javits Fellowship Program

SUMMARY: On August 1, 2003, a notice was published in the Federal 
Register (68 FR 45229) inviting applications for new awards for fiscal 
year (FY) 2004 for the Jacob K. Javits Fellowship Program. The notice 
listed a deadline date of October 3, 2003, for the transmittal of 
applications.
    The Secretary extends the deadline date for the transmittal of 
applications for this competition from applicants in certain nationally 
declared disaster areas. The Secretary takes this action to allow more 
time for the preparation and submission of applications by potential 
applicants in certain States that have been affected by Hurricane 
Isabel. The extension of this deadline date is intended to help the 
potential applicants compete fairly with other applicants under this 
competition.
    Eligibility: The extended deadline date in this notice applies to 
you if you are a potential applicant from an area on the following 
chart. The President has declared each of these locations a disaster 
area as a result of recent severe weather conditions. These areas are 
as follows:
    State: Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, 
Virginia, West Virginia.

DATES: The new deadline date for the transmittal of applications is 
October 14, 2003.

ADDRESSES: The address and telephone number for obtaining applications 
for, or information about this program are in the application notice
