Notice of Correction for the Public and Indian Housing Drug 
Elimination Program (PHDEP)--FY 1994 Notice of Funding Availability

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

ACTION: Notice of Correction to the Notice of Funding Availability 
(NOFA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 1994.

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

SUMMARY: On April 1, 1994, HUD published a NOFA that announced FY 1994 
funding of $231,978,631 under the Public and Indian Housing Drug 
Elimination Program (PHDEP) for use in eliminating drug-related crime. 
The purpose of this notice is to make corrections to the section 
specifying eligible applicants for one of the activities under the NOFA 
and to the number of points in one of the selection criteria.

DATES: The original application deadline date is not changed. 
Applications must be received at the local HUD Field Office on or 
before Friday, July 29, 1994, at 3:30 PM, local time. 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 any unanticipated or delivery-related problems. A FAX 
is not acceptable.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) 
announcing HUD's FY 1994 funding of $231,978,631 under the Public and 
Indian Housing Drug Elimination Program (PHDEP) was published on April 
1, 1994 (59 FR 15574). Paragraph I.(c)(1)(ii) of the NOFA, under the 
heading Employment of Housing Authority Police, which listed housing 
authorities eligible to apply because they have their own housing 
authority (HA) police department, omitted from the list the HA of the 
City of Waterbury, Waterbury, CT, and the Buffalo HA, Buffalo, NY, and 
incorrectly included the Newark Housing Authority, Newark, NJ. In 
addition, the listing for the New York City Department of Housing 
Preservation and Development, NYC, NY, should have read: New York City 
Public Housing Authority, NYC, NY. This notice corrects the April 1, 
1994 PHDEP NOFA by republishing the entire list of eligible applicants 
under paragraph I.(c)(1)(ii) to add the two omitted HAs to the list, to 
delete the one incorrectly listed, and to amend the listing for the New 
York City Public Housing Authority.
    This notice also corrects the number of points that will be awarded 
under the first selection criterion of the NOFA. Specifically, five 
points are added to the subcriteria at sections I.(d)(1) (v) and (vi), 
raising each to 15 points, and raising the total number of points to 
130.
    Accordingly, the following technical correction is made in FR Doc. 
94-7781 to the NOFA titled, ``NOFA for the Public and Indian Housing 
Drug Elimination Program (PHDEP)--FY-1994'', published on April 1, 1994 
(59 FR 15574):
    1. On page 15577, the list of eligible applicants in paragraph 
I.(c)(1)(ii), which appears in the first column, is revised to read as 
follows:

Baltimore HA and Community Development, Baltimore, MD
Boston HA, Boston, MA
Buffalo HA, Buffalo, NY
Chicago HA, Chicago, IL
Cuyahoga Metropolitan HA, Cleveland, OH
HA of the City of Los Angeles, LA, CA
HA of the City of Waterbury, Waterbury, CT
HA of the City of Oakland, Oakland, CA
HA of the City of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
New York City Public HA, NYC, NY
Philadelphia HA, Philadelphia, PA

    2. On page 15582, the first full paragraph in the first column, 
which is a part of paragraph I.(d), is revised to read as follows:
    The number of points that an application receives will depend on 
the extent to which the application is responsive to the information 
requested in the selection criteria. An application must receive a 
score of at least 80 points out of the maximum of 130 points that may 
be awarded under this competition to be eligible for funding.
    3. On page 15583, paragraph I.(1)(d)(1)(v), which appears in the 
first column, is revised to read as follows:
    (v) In awarding points, HUD will evaluate and assign points between 
zero (0) and fifteen (15) according to the per capita incidence of 
robbery and homicide in their community relative to their per capita 
incidence on a nationwide basis. Data on robbery and homicide incidence 
were chosen because of the demonstrated relationship of a substantial 
portion of these crimes with drug abuse. The community data will be 
taken from the Uniform Crime Reports (UCRs) of the U. S. Department of 
Justice (FBI crime data) and will be at the city level, when available, 
or at the county level. The crime incidence data and the point values 
will be computed by HUD. (Maximum Points: 15)
    4. On page 15583, paragraph I.(1)(d)(1)(vi), which appears in the 
first column, is revised to read as follows:
    (vi) In awarding points, HUD will evaluate and assign points 
between zero (0) and fifteen (15) according to the per capita incidence 
of drug arrests. In instances where the Department of Justice records 
do not contain community submission data, points will be assigned based 
on state metropolitan and nonmetropolitan averages relevant to such 
areas. (Maximum Points: 15)

    Authority: Sec. 5127, Public Housing Drug Elimination Act of 
1988 (42 U.S.C. 11901 et. seq.); sec. 7(d), Department of Housing 
and Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3535(d)).

    Dated: July 7, 1994.
