SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

13, 2021, we published in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 36722) the NIA for the 

National Comprehensive Center on 

Improving Literacy for Students With 

Disabilities. Under the NIA, 

applications were due on September 1, 

2021. We are reopening this competition 

for affected applicants until September 

13, 2021, to allow those applicants more 

time to prepare and submit their 

applications. 

Eligibility: The reopening of this 

competition applies to eligible 

applicants under the National 

Comprehensive Center on Improving 

Literacy for Students With Disabilities 

competition that are affected applicants. 

An eligible applicant for this 

competition is defined in the NIA. The 

federally declared disaster areas under 

these declarations are the jurisdictions 

identified by FEMA under declarations 

DR–4611–LA and EM–3569–MS in 

which assistance to individuals or 

public assistance has been authorized. 

To determine if you are an affected 

applicant, see the Emergency 

Declarations available at: 

www.fema.gov/disaster/4611, 

www.fema.gov/disaster/4611/ 

designated-areas, www.fema.gov/ 

disaster/3569, and www.fema.gov/ 

disaster/3569/designated-areas. 

Affected applicants that have already 

timely submitted applications under the 

FY 2021 National Comprehensive 

Center on Improving Literacy for 

Students With Disabilities competition 

may submit a new application, but they 

are not required to do so. If a new 

application is not submitted, the 

Department will use the application that 

was submitted by the original deadline. 

If a new application is submitted, the 

Department will consider the 

application that is last submitted and 

timely received. Applications that did 

not meet the original deadline must be 

resubmitted to be considered for review. 

An affected applicant submitting an 

application as part of the reopened 

competition must provide supporting 

information (e.g., by including the 

applicant’s organization address) in its 

application that it is located in a 

jurisdiction that is part of one of the 

applicable federally declared disaster 

areas and must provide appropriate 

supporting documentation, if requested. 

We are not reopening the application 

period for all applicants. Thus, 

applications from applicants that are not 

affected applicants may not be 

submitted as part of this reopened 

period for submission of applications. 

Note: All information in the NIA 

remains the same, except for the 

deadline date for affected applicants.
