Under the NIA, applications are due on August 8, 2023. We are extending the deadline for transmittal of applications for affected applicants (as defined under Eligibility) to allow these applicants more time—until August 16, 2023—to prepare and submit their applications. Eligibility: The application deadline extension applies only to eligible applicants under the FY 2023 FSCS competition that are affected applicants. An eligible applicant for this competition is defined in the NIA. To qualify as an affected applicant, the applicant must have a mailing address that is located in the federally declared disaster area and must provide appropriate supporting documentation, if requested. The applicable federally declared disaster area under this declaration is the area in which assistance to individuals or public assistance has been authorized under FEMA's disaster declaration for New York Severe Storms and Flooding (DR–4723–NY), Vermont Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR–4720–VT), and Oklahoma Severe Storms, Straight-line Winds, and Tornadoes (DR–4721–OK). See the disaster declarations at: https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4723, https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4720, and https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4721. Affected applicants that have already timely submitted applications under the FY 2023 FSCS competition may resubmit applications on or before the extended application deadline of August 16, 2023, but are not required to do so. If a new application is not submitted, the Department will use the application that was submitted by the original deadline. If a new application is submitted, the Department will consider the application that is last submitted and timely received by 11:59:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 16, 2023. Any application submitted by an affected applicant under the extended deadline must contain evidence ( e.g., the applicant organization mailing address) that the applicant is located in one of the applicable federally declared disaster areas and, if requested, must provide appropriate supporting documentation. The application period is not extended for all applicants. Applications from applicants that are not affected, as defined above, will not be accepted past the August 8, 2023, deadline. Note: All information in the NIA for this competition remains the same, except for the extended date for the transmittal of applications for affected applicants and the deadline for intergovernmental review.
