SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Correction

On pages 13365, 13366, and 13367 of the March 11 NIA, we indicated that there would be only one pre-application meeting and that it would be held on April 4, 2011 at 9:00 a.m., Washington, DC time. We are correcting the March 11 NIA to reflect that the Department is offering a second pre-application meeting at 2:00 p.m. on April 5, 2011. The corrections are as follows:

On page 13365, second column, the “Date of Pre-Application Meeting” section is corrected to read “Dates of Pre-Application Meetings: April 4, 2011 at 9:00 a.m., Washington, DC time and April 5, 2011 at 2:00 p.m., Washington, DC time.”

On page 13366, third column, and page 13367, first column, the “Date of Pre-Application Meeting” section is corrected to read as follows:

“Dates of Pre-Application Meetings: The Department will hold two pre-application meetings for prospective applicants. The first pre-application meeting will be held on April 4, 2011 at 9:00 a.m., Washington, DC time, at the U.S. Department of Education, Room 1W128, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., Washington, DC. The second pre-application meeting will be held on April 5, 2011 at 2:00 p.m., Washington, DC time, via conference call.

Interested parties are invited to participate in these meetings to discuss the purpose of the program, priorities, selection criteria, application requirements, submission requirements, and reporting requirements. Interested parties may participate in the first pre-application meeting either by conference call or in person. Interested parties may participate in the second pre-application meeting by conference call.

The site for the first pre-application meeting is accessible by Metro on the Blue, Orange, Green, and Yellow lines at the Seventh Street and Maryland Avenue exit of the L'Enfant Plaza station. After the first meeting, program staff will be available from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. on that same day to provide information and technical assistance through individual consultation.

To participate by conference call in either the first or second pre-application meetings, the conference line number is 1-888-456-0285 and the participant pass code is 1704354. If you use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD), call the Federal Relay Service (FRS), toll free, at 1-800-877-8339.

Individuals interested in attending either meeting are encouraged to preregister by e-mailing their name, organization, and contact information with the subject heading PRE-APPLICATION MEETING to ann.galiatsos@ed.gov. There are no registration fees for attending these meetings.
