SUMMARY: On February 5, 2016, we published in the Federal Register (81 
FR 6251) a notice inviting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2016 
awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) program. The 
notice established a deadline of May 2, 2016, for submission of FY 2016 
SRSA grant applications. This notice reopens the application period 
until May 31, 2016, 4:30:00 p.m., Washington, DC time. All other 
requirements and conditions stated in the notice inviting applications 
remain the same.

DATES: Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: May 31, 2016, 4:30:00 
p.m., Washington, DC time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department contacts local educational 
agencies that we determine to be newly eligible for SRSA funding, 
informs them of their eligibility, and instructs them to apply for 
funding. Due to unanticipated delays in the eligibility determination 
process, eligible applicants were not able to submit their applications 
for FY 2016 awards under the SRSA program by the close of the initial 
application period. Therefore, we are reopening the application period 
until May 31, 2016, 4:30:00 p.m., Washington, DC time. All other 
requirements and conditions

stated in the notice inviting applications remain the same.
    Applicants that did not meet the initial May 2 deadline must submit 
applications by May 31 to be considered for FY 2016 funding. Applicants 
that already submitted timely applications that meet all of the 
requirements of the notice inviting applications do not have to 
resubmit their applications.
