SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Need for Corrections
The deadline dates for National competitions need to reflect the correct year. The dates in the original NOFA contained the year "2011" rather than "2012". To clarify, all unfunded eligible grant only and grant and guaranteed loan combination applications received by March 30, 2012, will be competed against other grant only and grant and guaranteed loan combination applications from other States at a final National competition. In addition, all unfunded eligible guaranteed loan only applications received by June 29, 2012, will be competed against other guaranteed loan only applications from other States at a final National competition if the guaranteed loan reserves have not been completely depleted.

In the Federal Register dated January 20, 2012, the following are corrected:
1. On page 2951, column 1, the eighteenth line down under C. State and National competitions, "March 30, 2011" is corrected to read "March 30, 2012".
2. On page 2951, column 2, tenth line down, "June 29, 2011" is corrected to read "June 29, 2012".
