Reopening; Applications for New Awards; Personnel Development To 
Improve Services and Results for Children With Disabilities--Early 
Childhood Personnel Center

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

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: On April 19, 2017, we published in the Federal Register (82 FR 
18447) a notice inviting applications (NIA) for the Personnel 
Development to Improve Services and Results for Children with 
Disabilities--Early Childhood Personnel Center competition. The NIA 
established a deadline date of June 5, 2017, for the transmittal of 
applications. This notice reopens the competition until September 11, 
2017.

DATES: 
    Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: September 11, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: No applications received in response to the 
NIA were funded because the applicants did not adequately address the 
selection criteria for the competition. Therefore, we are reopening the 
competition to allow applicants to submit or resubmit applications that 
meet the requirements in the NIA, in order to ensure that State Part C 
and Part B, section 619 programs receive the technical assistance 
necessary to implement high-quality Comprehensive Systems of Personnel 
Development.
    We have eliminated the formatting and page-limit requirements 
specified in the NIA. Further, the specification in the NIA that the 
Secretary will not consider budgets above the maximum award amount is 
no longer applicable. However, we will only fund a successful 
application up to $2,000,000 for any single budget period of 12 months.
    Applicants that have already submitted applications under the FY 
2017 competition are encouraged to review their applications and 
determine whether they have met all eligibility requirements and 
adequately addressed the selection criteria in the NIA and the 
application package, which is available at www.grants.gov.
    Applications that were previously deemed ineligible for review must 
be resubmitted to be considered for review. If a new application is not 
submitted by an applicant whose application was reviewed, the 
Department will use the application that was submitted before 4:30:00 
p.m., Washington DC time, on June 5, 2017, 4:30:00 p.m.
    Finally, this competition is subject to intergovernmental review as 
set forth in Executive Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR part 
79. However, under 34 CFR 79.8(a), we waive intergovernmental review in 
order to make an award by the end of FY 2017.

    Note: All information in the NIA for this competition remains 
the same, except for the deadline for the transmittal of 
applications, the formatting and page limit requirements, the 
mandatory page limit, the eligibility of applications that exceed 
the maximum award amount, and the intergovernmental review 
requirements.
