AGENCY: Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.328M

SUMMARY: This notice reopens the FY 2014 Parent Training and Information Centers competition, authorized by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), as amended. We published a notice inviting applications (NIA) for this competition on April 9, 2014, in the Federal Register. The notice provided a deadline date of May 27, 2014, as well as other information, for the transmittal of applications.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Significant technical problems with the Grants.gov Apply site's ability to accept security enabled Adobe Acrobat files in the Parent Training and Information Centers competition that was announced in the NIA published on April 9, 2014, in the Federal Register (79 FR 19595-19604) may have prevented some eligible applicants from meeting the May 27, 2014 deadline. Therefore, we are reopening the competition to provide applicants with additional time to submit an application.

Any applicant that has already submitted an application under the FY 2014 Parent Training and Information Centers competition does not need to resubmit its application, including those applicants whose submissions were accepted but not processed because of the problems with Grants.gov.

DATES: Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: June 30, 2014.

Note to Applicants: The notice published on April 9, 2014, provides other information that applies to this competition. Specifically, the priority in that notice, entitled ``Parent Training and Information Centers,'' identifies the requirements for applications submitted in response to this notice, including the eligible entities, the States from which we are accepting applications, and the instructions for submitting applications.

Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: August 29, 2014.
