On June 27, 2011, we published in the Federal Register (76 FR 37336-37341) a notice inviting applications for a new award for the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC)--Interventions to Promote Community Living Among Individuals with Disabilities fiscal year (FY) 2011 competition. That notice incorrectly listed $700,000 as the amount of estimated available funds in the Estimated Available Funds section and $700,000 as the maximum proposed budget amount in the Maximum Award section. The correct amount of funds for estimated available funds and the maximum proposed budget is $850,000. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education corrects the amount of funds listed under the headings Estimated Available Funds and Maximum Award. Specifically, we make the following corrections: In column 1, on page 37337, we correct the Estimated Available Funds section to read: ``Estimated Available Funds: $850,000. In column 2, on page 37337, we correct the Maximum Award sections to read: ``Maximum Award: We will reject any application that proposes a budget exceeding $850,000 for a single budget period of 12 months. The Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative Services may change the maximum amount through a notice published in the Federal Register.&apos;&apos;
