| On March 22, 2010, we published in the Federal Register (75 FR 13515) a notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2010 for the Ready-to-Learn Television Program. We have extended the deadline for transmittal of applications and removed the paragraph on maximum award amount.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice extends the deadline for transmittal of applications and eliminates the maximum award amount originally established for applicants by removing the paragraph that establishes a maximum award amount. We are taking this action because the maximum award amount was established as the result of an administrative error and unduly restricts applicant flexibility. These changes affect three pages of the March 22nd notice, as follows: Correction (1) On page 13515, in the first column, after the words Deadline for Transmittal of Applications, replace the date “May 21, 2010” with the date “June 22, 2010.” |
