DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Direct Grant Programs
AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice reopening application deadline dates for certain direct
grant and fellowship programs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Secretary reopens the deadline dates for the submission of
applications by certain applicants (see ELIGIBILITY) under certain
direct grant programs. All of the affected competitions are among those
under which the Secretary is making new awards for fiscal year (FY)
1999. If necessary, the Secretary also revises the deadlines for
intergovernmental review for those programs subject to Executive Order
12372 (Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs). The Secretary
takes this action to allow more time for the preparation and submission
of applications by potential applicants adversely affected by severe
weather conditions resulting from Hurricane Georges. The reopenings are
intended to help these potential applicants compete fairly with other
applicants under these programs.
Note: Five of the affected programs or competitions are under
the Office of Special Education Programs of the Office of Special
Education and Rehabilitative Services. You can find information
related to each of these under Group I. Three of the programs or
competitions are under the National Institute on Disability and
Rehabilitation Research of the Office of Special Education and
Rehabilitative Services. You can find information related to each of
these under Group II. Two of the programs or competitions are under
Higher Education Programs of the Office of Postsecondary Education.
You can find information related to each of these under Group III.

process recommendations by State Single Points of Contact (SPOCs) and
