Supplementary Information
The application package for the Reading Excellence Act, a competitive state grant program, was made available on April 3, 1999. The Department established the original closing date of May 7, 1999 on April 5, 1999 (64 FR 16574).
On May 6, 1999, the state of Colorado requested an extension of the deadline because the April 20, 1999, tragedy in Littleton, Colorado, prevented the SEA from working on its grant application.
In recognition of the unusual circumstances, the Secretary extends the deadline for the Colorado SEA application to May 21, 1999.
