Special American Business Internship Training Program (SABIT)

AGENCY: International Trade Administration, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This Notice supplements the Federal Register Notice Docket No.

940529-4129 (59 FR 25889, May 18, 1994) announcing the availability of

funds for the Special American Business Internship Training Program

(SABIT), for training business executives and scientists (also referred

to as ``interns'') from the Newly Independent States (NIS) of the

former Soviet Union. All information in the previous announcement

remains current, except for the changes explained herein. This Notice

extends the closing date of the referenced Federal Register Notice for

three months to 5 p.m. December 15, 1994 and announces the availability

of additional funds. The maximum amount of financial assistance

available for the program is $3,675,000. This amount includes the

$2,400,000 which was previously announced. All awards are expected to

be made prior to January 1, 1996. The referenced announcement placed a

cap of $7,500 per intern for airfare and stipend. This notice

establishes the right of ITA to allow an award to exceed this amount in

cases of unusually high costs, such as airfare from remote regions of

the NIS.

For further information refer to the Notice published in the

Federal Register on May 18, 1994 (59 FR 25889) or contact: Liesel
