CloseDateExplanation: This program announcement is reposted to accommodate the states that have been severely affected by the recent snow storms in the US.  Only those states that had state government closures as a result of the recent snow storms and were unable to submit their final application by the Friday February 12th deadline can submit.  If a state submitted an application on February 12, 2010, we will review that application and a second submission is not necessary.  If a second application is submitted from those states affected by the recent snow storms, then the first application will be eliminated from further review and only the second application will be reviewed and considered.  The deadline is extended until February 18, 2010.  Applications are due by 11:59pm EST, February 18, 2010.
