NOFA for Technical Assistance Planning Grants for Resident 
Groups, Community Groups, Community-Based Nonprofit Organizations 
(CBOs), and Resident Councils (RCs) Under the Low-Income Housing 
Preservation and Resident Homeownership Act of 1990: Technical 
Correction

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing 
Commissioner, HUD.

ACTION: Technical amendment to NOFA.

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

SUMMARY: This notice amends the NOFA published at 57 FR 40570 
(September 3, 1992) and amended at 57 FR 56929 (December 1, 1992) and 
58 FR 8766 (February 17, 1993), to allow funding of eligible grant 
activities prior to the grant award if there is a delay in the award 
subsequent to submission of an acceptable application package. For a 
variety of reasons, numerous grantees under this NOFA have not been 
awarded grants during the appropriate selection timeframe. Due to the 
time-sensitive nature of the Preservation sales program, grantees in 
these cases may be precluded from moving forward with activities 
critical to achieving a resident-supported purchase in a timely manner. 
This notice amends the current NOFA to allow funding for grant 
activities performed subsequent to the 30-day departmental application 
review period, if the Department has not yet awarded grant funds. 
Because there can be no guarantee of funding prior to grant award, 
activities performed prior to grant award are performed at the 
applicant's own risk. All activities performed must have been included 
in the applicant's original submission package and no funds will be 
released to the recipient until after a grant is formally awarded. This 
amendment applies to all grants awarded under this NOFA.

Division, Department of Housing and Urban Development, room 6284, 451

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Accordingly, FR Doc. 92-21232, published at 
57 FR 40570 (September 3, 1992) and amended at 57 FR 56929 (December 1, 
1992) and at 58 FR 8766 (February 17, 1993), is further amended to:

* * * * *
B. Allocation of Amounts
* * * * *
    Any expenses incurred by an applicant prior to being awarded a 
grant under this NOFA will not be reimbursed from the grant unless the 
grant award is delayed by the Department. In such case, funds for grant 
activities which are included in the original application submission 
and performed prior to grant award but beginning no earlier than 30 
days after an acceptable application submission may be reimbursed at 
grant award. Once a Plan of Action is approved and the purchase 
completed, the purchaser may be reimbursed for certain expenses 
pursuant to 24 CFR 248.157(m) (6) and (7) that are not covered by 
grants received under this NOFA.

    (7) Activities completed prior to the date funding is approved 
under this NOFA, or in the case of a grant award that is delayed beyond 
the 30 day application review period, prior to 30 days after an 
acceptable application submission. In the latter case, all activities 
must be included in the original grant application submission package 
and funds will not be released prior to grant award.
