Public Safety Interoperable Communications Grant Pro-
gram under section 309(j)(8)(E) of the Communications 
Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 309(j)(8)(E)) shall remain avail-
able until expended, but not beyond September 30, 2012. 
(b) The period for performance of any investment ap-
proved under the Program as of the date of enactment 
of this Act shall be extended by one year, but not later 
than September 30, 2011, except that the Assistant Sec-
retary of Commerce for Communications and Information 
may extend, on a case-by-case basis, the period of per-
formance for any investment approved under the Program 
as of that date for a period of not more than 2 years, 
but not later than September 30, 2012. In making a deter-
mination as to whether an extension beyond September 
30, 2011, is warranted, the Assistant Secretary should 
consider the circumstances that gave rise to the need for 
the extension, the likelihood of completion of performance 
within the deadline for completion, and such other factors 
as the Assistant Secretary deems necessary to make the 
determination.
