Notice of Extension for Public and Indian Housing Youth Sports 
Program; Notice of Funding Availability

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.

ACTION: Notice of extension of time for submission of applications.

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

SUMMARY: On May 11, 1994, HUD published a Notice of Funding 
Availability for the Public and Indian Housing Youth Sports Program, 
requesting applications by June 20, 1994. The purpose of this Notice is 
to extend the time for submission of applications until July 20, 1994.

DATES: The application due date originally announced for June 20, 1994 
is extended by this notice to July 20, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robin Prichard, Drug-Free 
Neighborhoods Division, Office of Resident Initiatives, Public and 
Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street SW., Washington, D.C. 20410, telephone (202)708-1197. A 
telecommunications device for deaf persons (TDD) is available at 
(202)708-0850. (These are not toll-free telephone numbers.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This program is authorized by Section 520 of 
the National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) (approved November 28, 1990, 
Pub. L. 101-625). In general, Youth Sports Program funds may be used to 
assist in carrying out sports, cultural, recreational, educational or 
other activities for youth.
    A FY 1994 Notice of Fund Availability (NOFA) for the above-
described program was published on May 11, 1994 (59 FR 24548). The 
original notice provided 41 days--until June 20, 1994--for applications 
in response to the NOFA. The Department has received numerous 
indications from prospective applicants that the allotted time for 
submitting applications is too short to permit the preparation and 
presentation of the necessary materials.
    In response to these concerns, the Department is extending the 
deadline for submission of applications for the FY 1994 funding round. 
It is hoped that this extension of time will expand the number and the 
quality of applications that HUD receives for funding.
    Applications will now be due on or before 4:30 PM local time, on 
Wednesday, July 20, 1994. An original and two copies of the application 
must be received by the deadline at the local HUD Field Office with 
jurisdiction over Public Housing Agency (PHA) applicants, Attention: 
Assisted Housing Management Branch Director (or, in the case of Indian 
Housing Authority (IHA) applicants, in the local HUD Office of Indian 
Programs, Attention: Office of Indian Programs Director). (A listing of 
the addresses of HUD Field Offices and Indian Field Offices is included 
as an appendix to the May 11, 1994 NOFA.) This application deadline is 
firm as to date and hour. In the interest of fairness to all competing 
applicants, the Department will treat as ineligible for consideration 
any application that is received after the deadline. Applicants should 
take this practice into account and make early submission of their 
materials to avoid any risk of loss of eligibility brought about by 
unanticipated delays or other delivery-related problems. It is not 
sufficient for an application to bear a postage date within the 
submission time period. Applications submitted by facsimile are not 
acceptable. Applications received after the deadline will not be 
considered.

    Dated: June 14, 1994.
Michael B. Janis,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
