for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2009 

for the American Indian Vocational 

Rehabilitation Services (AIVRS)

FY 2009 AIVRS program competition 

established a July 23, 2009, deadline

funding under this program. Elsewhere 

in this issue of the Federal Register we 

have published interim final regulations 

that amend the regulatory definition of 

the term consortium under the AIVRS

through this notice, we are reopening 

the competition and establishing a new 

deadline for the submission of

40576 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 154 / Wednesday, August 12, 2009 / Notices 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Elsewhere 

in this issue of the Federal Register, the 

Department has amended the definition 

of the term consortium in the 

regulations for the AIVRS program (34 

CFR 371.4(b)). The purpose of this 

regulatory change is to ensure that any 

consortium of Indian tribes could 

establish a separate legal entity to apply 

for a grant under this program. Prior to 

this regulatory change, the Department’s 

definition of the term consortium under 

the AIVRS program required Indian 

tribes that choose to form a consortium 

to designate one of the Indian tribes of 

the consortium to serve as the grantee; 

it did not also permit the Indian tribes 

in the consortium to create a separate 

legal entity that would serve as the 

grantee on behalf of the consortium and 

be responsible for using the grant funds 

to provide services to all the Indian 

tribes in the consortium. To ensure that 

the change in the regulatory definition 

of the term consortium under the AIVRS 

program applies to entities applying for 

a FY 2009 grant, we are reopening the 

competition and establishing a new 

deadline for the submission of 

applications. 

Only groups of Indian tribes that seek 

to apply for funding under the AIVRS 

program as a consortium using a 

separate legal entity as the applicant are 

permitted to submit an application 

under this reopened competition. 

Applicants that submitted applications 

by the July 23, 2009, deadline date in 

accordance with the terms of the May 

14, 2009, notice inviting applications 

are not required to submit new 

applications. If an applicant that has 

already submitted an application for 

this competition now chooses to join a 

consortium and have a separate legal 

entity apply on behalf of the 

consortium, the applicant must notify 

the Department and reapply using the 

separate legal entity as the applicant by 

the deadline date in this notice. 

The new deadline date is: 

Deadline for Transmittal of 

Applications: September 11, 2009. 

For information (other than the 

deadline for submission) about how to 

submit your application, please refer to 

section IV. 6. Other Submission 

Requirements in the May 14, 2009 

Federal Register notice (74 FR 22729).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 35 U.S.C.

APOGEE Medical, LLC of Atlanta,
