On February 26, 2013, the Office of Vocational and Adult Education in the U.S. Department of Education published in the Federal Register (78 FR 13030) a notice inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2013 for NACTEP. This notice corrects inconsistent deadlines given for transmittal of the applications. The correct deadline is March 28, 2013. In the Federal Register of February 26, 2013 (78 FR 13030), on page 13036, in the second column, in section 3, Submission Dates and Times, we correct the Deadline for Transmittal of Applications date caption to read: ``Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: March 28, 2013.&apos;&apos; The deadline date for transmittal of applications is correctly stated as March 28, 2013 on page 13031 of the notice. However, on page 13036, the deadline date for transmittal of applications is incorrectly stated as April 12, 2013, rather than the correct date March 28, 2013. We are correcting that error.
