All of the affected competitions are among those under which the Secretary is making new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2004. The Secretary takes this action to allow more time for the preparation and transmittal of applications by potential applicants from a county designated a disaster area due to the California wildfires. The extension and reopening of these deadline dates are intended to help the potential applicants compete fairly with other applicants under these programs.
