Description of Modification
On August 17, 2009, we published in the Federal Register (74 FR 41407) a notice inviting applications for new awards under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009--Impact Aid Discretionary Construction Program. The notice specified a deadline of October 1, 2009 for the submission of applications. Since publication, however, we have learned that the Department's e-Application system will be shut down on October 1 in connection with the Department's transition of its systems to the new fiscal year, which begins on October 1. Therefore, we are correcting the deadline for the submission of applications to October 8, 2009. On page 41407, first column, the date listed for Deadline for Transmittal of Applications is corrected to read ``October 8, 2009.'' On page 41407, first column, the date listed for Deadline for Intergovernmental Review is corrected to read "December 7, 2009." On page 41408, first column, the date listed for Deadline for Transmittal of Applications is corrected to read "October 8, 2009." On page 41408, first column, the date listed for Deadline for Intergovernmental Review is corrected to read "December 7, 2009."
