DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity
[Docket No. N-94-3755; FR-3622-N-05]

 

NOFA for Fair Housing Initiatives Program; FY 1994 Competitive 
Solicitation Correction to Deadline

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of funding availability (NOFA)--Correction.

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

SUMMARY: This notice changes the deadline requirements for the FY 1994 
FHIP NOFA published on May 16, 1994 (59 FR 25532).

DATES: The application due date remains the postmark or delivery 
service receipt date originally specified in the application kit. 
However, the requirement that applications be received within 7 days 
after the postmark or delivery service receipt date is removed.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacquelyn J. Shelton, Director, Office 
of Fair Housing Initiatives and Voluntary Programs, Room 5234, 451 
Seventh Street SW., Washington, D.C. 20410-2000. Telephone number (202) 
708-0800. A telecommunications device (TDD) for hearing and speech 
impaired persons is available at (202) 708-0455. (These are not toll-
free numbers.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Fiscal Year (FY) 1994 Fair Housing 
Initiatives Program (FHIP) Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) 
published on May 16, 1994 (59 FR 25532) contained an application due 
date that provided:

    Applications will be accepted if they are received on or before 
the application due date, or are received within 7 days after the 
application due date, but with a U.S. postmark or receipt from a 
private commercial delivery service (such as, Federal Express or 
DHL) that is dated on or before the application due date.

    Upon further consideration, the Department has determined to remove 
the ``receipt within 7 days'' requirement and to permit all 
applications with a U.S. postmark or a private commercial delivery 
service receipt, which is dated on or before the application due date, 
to compete for funding. In making this determination, the Department 
has taken into account the predicament of applicants who have spent 
many hours in preparing applications, only to be disqualified, through 
no fault of their own, because of a third party's failure to make 
timely delivery. The requirement that all applicants have the same 
amount of time (up to the postmark date) to prepare their applications 
is not affected by this determination.
    Accordingly, the requirement in the FY 1994 FHIP NOFA, published on 
May 16, 1994 (59 FR 25532), that applications be received within 7 days 
after the postmark or delivery service receipt date is removed. 
Applications will not be disqualified as long as their postmark or 
delivery service receipt date meets the date originally specified in 
the application kit.

    Dated: October 31, 1994.
Roberta Achtenberg,
Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.
