SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 
publishes this notice to extend the application deadline for the 
Ballast Water Technology Demonstration Program and the date by which 
Sea Grant Programs must forward received applications for the National 
Strategic Initiative in Aquatic Invasive Species Research and Outreach 
to the National Sea Grant Office (NSGO). This extension is being 
granted to ease the transition to electronic grants submissions through 
the Grants.gov portal. The deadline for applications from PI's to the 
state Sea Grant Office (or to the National Sea Grant Office in the case

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOAA publishes this notice to extend an 
application deadline for the Ballast Water Technology Demonstration 
Program and the National Strategic Initiative in Aquatic Invasive 
Species Research and Outreach initiated by the NSGO. The original 
solicitation of applications was published in the Federal Register on 
July 14, 2004 (69 FR 42132).
    For the Ballast Water Technology Demonstration Program, NOAA 
announces that the date by which all full proposals must be received by 
the National Sea Grant Office has been changed from November 16, 2004 
to November 30, 2004.
    For the National Strategic Initiative in Aquatic Invasive Species 
Research and Outreach, the date by which full proposals must be 
forwarded by State Sea Grant Programs to the National Sea Grant Office 
has been changed from November 23, 2004 to December 1, 2004. The reason 
for these changes is to aid the PI's and the Sea Grants programs in the 
transition to electronic grant submission through Grants.gov. All other 
application deadlines remain the same.
    The Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) notice has been modified to 
reflect these changes. In addition, the FFO has been amended to allow 
proposal submission to these two programs electronically through http://www.grants.gov.
    This program is excluded under E.O. 12372.

    Dated: October 29, 2004.
Louisa Koch,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Research, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
