27 of 45 <br /> <br />In the event of either of these events, HUD will post a notice on its website that establishes the <br />new, extended deadline for the affected applicants. HUD will also include the fact of the <br />extension in the program’s Notice of Funding Awards that is required to be published in the <br />Federal Register. <br /> <br />In determining whether to grant a request for an extension based on a presidentially-declared <br />disaster, HUD will consider the totality of the circumstances including the date of an applicant’s <br />extension request (how closely it followed the basis for the extension), whether other applicants <br />in the geographic area are similarly affected by the disaster, and how quickly power or services <br />are restored to enable the applicant to submit its application. <br /> <br />PLEASE NOTE: Busy servers, slow processing, or large file sizes, improper registration or <br />password issues are not valid circumstances to extend the deadline dates or the grace period. <br />1. Amending or Resubmitting an Application. <br />Before the submission deadline, you may amend an application that has been validated by <br />Grants.gov by resubmitting a revised application containing the new or changed material. The <br />resubmitted application must be received and validated by grants.gov by the applicable <br />deadline. If HUD receives an original and a revised application for a single proposal, HUD will <br />evaluate only the last submission received by Grants.gov before the deadline. <br /> <br />2. Grace Period for Grants.gov Submissions. <br />If your application is received by Grants.gov before the deadline, but is rejected with errors, you <br />have a grace period of 24 hours after the application deadline to submit a corrected application <br />that is received and validated by Grants.gov. The date and time stamp on the Grants.gov system <br />determines the application receipt time. Any application submitted during the grace period that <br />is not received and validated by grants.gov will not be considered for funding. There is no grace <br />period for paper applications. <br /> <br />3. Late Applications. <br />An application received after the Program NOFA deadline date that does not meet the Grace <br />period requirements will be marked late and will not be received by HUD for funding <br />consideration. Improper or expired registration and password issues are not causes that allow <br />HUD to accept applications after the deadline. <br /> <br />4. Corrections to Deficient Applications. <br />Except as provided by the electronic submission grace period described in this NOFA, HUD <br />may not consider any information that applicants may want to provide after the application <br />deadline. HUD may not seek or consider clarification of application items or responses that <br />improve the substantive quality of an application or which correct deficiencies which are in <br />whole or part of a rating factor, including items that impact preference points. HUD may <br />contact the applicant to clarify other items in its application. In order not to unreasonably <br />exclude applications from being rated and ranked where there are curable deficiencies, HUD <br />will uniformly notify applicants of each curable deficiency. A curable deficiency is an error or <br />oversight which, if corrected, would not alter, in a positive or negative fashion, the review and <br />rating of the application. Examples of curable (correctable) deficiencies include inconsistencies <br />EXHIBIT 2 <br />3-39
