Due to the severe winter weather and blizzard conditions experienced in parts of the country and the resultant flooding and other hardship conditions, the proposal submission deadline for the subject program is being extended to 11:59 p.m. on February 8, 2016.

This change will allow additional proposal preparation time for proposers who may have been impacted by these conditions, so that all proposers may prepare high-quality, responsive proposals.
