SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Background

    Under the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3600-3619), the Department is 
authorized to investigate complaints alleging discrimination in 
housing. Section 810(f) of the Fair Housing Act requires the Department 
to refer complaints to agencies that have ``substantially equivalent'' 
fair housing standards, as determined and certified by the Department. 
The certification standards and procedures are set forth in 24 CFR part 
115.
    Under the Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP), the regulations 
for which are codified in 24 CFR part 111, the Department may provide 
assistance to ``substantially equivalent'' State and local agencies. 
This assistance is designed to provide support for complaint 
processing, training, technical assistance, data and information 
systems, and other fair housing projects. The regulations in 24 CFR 
part 111 provide for FHAP funding to be announced through a Notice of 
Funding Availability (NOFA) published in the Federal Register.
    Although the regulations in part 111 provide for the announcement 
of the availability of FHAP funding through a NOFA (and 24 CFR part 12 
also makes note of the NOFA requirement), FHAP is not a competitive 
program. FHAP funds are not awarded on the basis of a competition. 
Accordingly, a waiver of the requirement to make FHAP funding available 
through a NOFA was requested and granted.
    In accordance with the requirements of section 106 of the HUD 
Reform Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 3535(q)(g)), the Secretary, on June 2, 
1993, waived the FHAP NOFA requirement set forth in 24 CFR part 12 on 
the basis that the FHAP is not a competitive program. The Department 
intends to amend 24 CFR part 12 to reflect the fact that FHAP is not a 
competitive program.
    In accordance with the requirements of section 102(a)(4)(C) of the 
HUD Reform Act of 1989, the names and addresses of the substantially 
equivalent agencies which received FHAP funds for FY 1992, on a 
noncompetitive basis, and the amount of the awards, are set forth in 
Appendix A to this notice.

    Dated: February 14, 1994.
Roberta Achtenberg,
Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.
