(SuperNOFA). The application
submission dates for all Program NOFAs
were listed in the SuperNOFA. On May
11, 2005 (70 FR 24835), HUD published
a Notice to the SuperNOFA, providing

On Tuesday, May 17, 2005, the
Grants.gov website was the target of a
‘‘denial of service attack.’’ Over the next
35 hours that the attack was underway,
Grants.gov experienced a significant
degradation in performance. The
processing capacity degraded by this
attack, coupled with a high volume of
application submissions, rendered the
Grants.gov website almost inaccessible
during certain times between Tuesday,
May 17, 2005 and Thursday, May 19,
2005. Information regarding the attack
can be obtained at http://www.cert.org/
tech_tips/denial_of_service.html#1.
HUD understands that eligible NOFA
applicants submitting electronic
submissions between Tuesday, May 17,
2005 and Thursday, May 19, 2005 may
have had difficulty submitting their
applications. Therefore, in order to give
all NOFA applicants affected by the
technical problem sufficient time to
submit completed applications, this
Notice published in today’s Federal
Register provides a grace period and
extended deadline date for those
affected NOFA competitions. The grace
periods and extended electronic
submission deadline date for the
affected NOFA competitions are as
follows:
