[Federal Register: January 28, 1998 (Volume 63, Number 18)] [Notices] [Page 4231] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr28ja98-60] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services [CFDA No.: 84.234N] Projects With Industry Notice reopening the closing date for transmittal of applications for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 1998. Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: The deadline date for transmittal of applications is reopened from January 13, 1998, to April 21, 1998. On October 30, 1997, the Secretary published in the Federal Register (62 FR 58725) a notice inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year 1998 under the Projects With Industry program. The purpose of this notice is to reopen the deadline date for transmittal of applications. This action is taken because a Department World Wide Web site inadvertently contained the fiscal year 1997, and not the fiscal year 1998, application kit and fiscal year 1998 notice inviting applications for new awards under the Projects With Industry program. The Department discontinued public access to the fiscal year 1997 application kit and notice on January 8, 1998, but applicants who visited the World Wide Web site prior to that date may have downloaded and mistakenly used the fiscal year 1997 application kit to prepare for the fiscal year 1998 competition. Applicants must use the fiscal year 1998 application kit for the fiscal year 1998 competition. Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: June 20, 1998. For Applications Contact: The Grants and Contracts Service Team (GCST), U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Avenue, S.W., Room 3317, Switzer Building, Washington, D.C. 20202-2649.
