SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On May 4, 2016, we published in the Federal Register (81 FR 26780) a notice inviting applications for new awards (NIA) for FY 2016 for the Data Disaggregation Initiative Program. The NIA established July 5, 2016, as the deadline date for eligible applicants to apply for funding under the program. However, as the NIA requires SEAs to submit an application in consortia with one or more LEAs, we believe it is critical that the SEAs be given additional time to engage in discussions with LEAs and take the necessary steps to secure the partnership documentation before the summer break begins. At the same time, we intend to make awards by the end of the current fiscal year. Therefore, we are extending the deadline for transmittal of applications to August 1, 2016. In order to make awards by the end of FY 2016, under 34 CFR 79.8(a), we are not extending the deadline for intergovernmental review, which remains September 1, 2016. All other requirements and conditions stated in the NIA remain the same.
