State Postsecondary Review Program

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice extending the closing

date for receipt of State applications for

fiscal year 1994 funds.

SUMMARY: On July 12, 1994, the

Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary

Education published a notice in the

Federal Register (59 FR 35501) that

established September 30, 1994 as the

closing date for the receipt of

applications for fiscal year 1994 funds

under the State Postsecondary Review

Program (SPRP). The purpose of this

notice is to extend the September 30

closing date to March 15, 1995. This

will allow States that failed to submit

their applications before the previously

published deadline date to receive fiscal

year 1994 SPRP funds if their

applications are received by March 15,

1995. The Secretary takes this action

because the Secretary strongly believes

that it is important for all States to

participate in the SPRP and to begin to

review referred institutions, as soon as

possible.
