SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
The information collection requirements contained in this NOFA have
been approved by the Office of Management and Budget, under section
3504(h) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520),
and assigned OMB control number 2502-0476.
I. Purpose and Substantive Description
(a) Authority
These grants are authorized under Chapter 2, Subtitle C, Title V of
the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (42 U.S.C. 11901 et seq.), as amended
by section 581 of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (NAHA)
(Pub. L. 101-625, approved November 28, 1990) and section 161 of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (HCDA 1992) (Pub. L. 102-
550, approved October 28, 1992).
Note: This NOFA does NOT apply to the funding available under
the statute for Public and Indian Housing.
(b) Allocation Amounts
(1) Federal Fiscal Year 1995 Funding
The amount available for funding under this Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA) is $17,800,737. Section 581 of NAHA expanded the
Drug Elimination Program to include federally assisted low-income
housing. The Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban
Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act of 1995, (Pub.
L. 103-327, approved September 28, 1994) appropriated $290 million for
the Drug Elimination Program, and made not more than $17,406,250 of the
total Drug Elimination Program appropriation available for federally
assisted low-income housing. The additional $394,487 represent funds
available from recaptured and carry-over funds from prior year
appropriations for the Federally Assisted Low-Income Housing Drug
Elimination Grant Program.
Of the total $290 million appropriated, $247,168,750 will fund the
Public and Indian Housing Drug Elimination Program; $13,925,000 will
fund the Youth Sports Program; $10 million will fund drug elimination
technical assistance and training; and $1.5 million will fund drug
information clearinghouse services. The remaining $17,406,250 plus the
$394,487 is being made available under this NOFA.
HUD is allocating grant funds under this NOFA to four ``Award
Offices'' on the basis of a formula allocation. This formula allocation
reflects the number of eligible federally assisted low-income housing
units in specific geographic areas and the level of drug-related crime
within each area, according to statistics compiled by the U.S.
Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (``Uniform Crime
Reports for Drug Abuse Violations--1990'').
(2) Maximum Grant Award Amounts
The maximum grant award amount is limited to $125,000 per project.
(3) Reallocation
Any grant funds under this NOFA that are allocated, but that are
not reserved for grantees, must be released to HUD Headquarters for
reallocation. HUD reserves the right to fund portions of full
applications. If the HUD Award Office determines that an application
cannot be partially funded and there are insufficient funds to fund the
application fully, any remaining funds after all other applications
have been selected will be released to HUD Headquarters for
reallocation. Amounts that may become available due to deobligation
will also be reallocated to Headquarters.
All reallocated funds will be awarded in the following manner: HUD
Award Offices will submit to Headquarters a list of applications, with
their scores and amount of funding requested, that would have been
funded had there been sufficient funds in the appropriate allocation to
do so. Headquarters will select applications from those submitted by
the HUD Award Offices, using a random number lottery overseen by the
Offices of Housing, General Counsel, [[Page 9545]] and Inspector
General, and make awards from any available reallocated funds.
(4) Reduction of Requested Grant Amounts
HUD may award an amount less than requested if:
(i) HUD determines the amount requested for an eligible activity is
unreasonable;
(ii) Insufficient amounts remain under the allocation to fund the
full amount requested by the applicant and HUD determines that partial
funding is a viable option;
(iii) HUD determines that some elements of the proposed plan are
suitable for funding and others are not; or
(iv) For any other reason where good cause exists.
(5) Distribution of Funds
In past years, funds under this program were allocated to the ten
HUD Regional Offices. Due to HUD's reorganization, those offices no
longer exist. Therefore, this year HUD is allocating funds to four
Award Offices, which will receive the scores from each HUD Office that
has received, rated, ranked, and scored its applications. Those Award
Offices will, in turn, request funding for the properties with the
highest score from each HUD Office. If sufficient funds remain, the
next highest scored applications, regardless of HUD Office, will be
awarded funds. HUD is allocating grant funds under this NOFA to the
four Award Offices, in accordance with the following schedule:

(c) Eligibility
The following is a listing of eligible activities, ineligible
activities, eligible applicants, and general grant requirements under
this NOFA.
(1) Eligible Activities
Please note that the maximum term of the grant is 12 months.
It is the goal and intent of the Federally Assisted Low-Income
Housing Drug Elimination Grant Program to foster a sense of community
in dealing with the issues of drug-related criminal activity. Programs
that foster interrelationships between the residents, the housing owner
and management, the local law enforcement agencies, and other community
groups impacting on the housing are greatly desired and encouraged.
Resident participation in the determination of programs and activities
to be undertaken is critical to the success of all aspects of the
program. Working jointly with community groups, the neighborhood law
enforcement precinct, residents of adjacent properties, and the
community as a whole can enhance and magnify the effect of specific
program activities and should be the goal of all applicants.
(i) Physical Improvements to Enhance Security. Physical
improvements that are specifically designed to enhance security are
eligible for funding under this program. The improvements may include
(but are not limited to) systems designed to limit building access to
project residents, the installation of barriers, lighting systems,
fences, bolts, and locks; the landscaping or reconfiguration of common
areas to discourage drug-related crime; and other physical improvements
designed to enhance security and discourage drug-related activities. In
particular, HUD is seeking plans that provide successful, proven, and
cost effective deterrents to drug-related crime that are designed to
address the realities of low-income assisted housing environments. All
physical improvements must also be accessible to persons with
disabilities. For example, some types of locks or buzzer systems are
not accessible to persons with limited strength or mobility, or to
persons who are hearing-impaired. All physical improvements must meet
the accessibility requirements of 24 CFR part 8.
(ii) Programs to Reduce the use of Drugs. Programs designed to
reduce the use of drugs in and around federally assisted low-income
housing projects, including drug abuse prevention, intervention,
referral, and treatment programs, are eligible for funding under this
program. The program should facilitate drug prevention, intervention,
and treatment efforts, to include outreach to community resources and
youth activities, and facilitate bringing these resources onto the
premises, or provide resident referrals to treatment programs or
transportation to out-patient treatment programs away from the
premises. Funding is permitted for reasonable, necessary, and justified
leasing of vehicles for resident youth and adult education and training
activities directly related to ``Programs to reduce the use of drugs''
under this section. Alcohol-related activities/programs are not
eligible for funding under this NOFA.
(A) Drug Prevention. Drug prevention programs that will be
considered for funding under this NOFA must provide a comprehensive
drug prevention approach for residents that will address the individual
resident and his or her relationship to family, peers, and the
community. Prevention programs must include activities designed to
identify and change the factors present in federally assisted low-
income housing that lead to drug-related problems, and thereby lower
the risk of drug usage. Many components of a comprehensive approach,
such as refusal and restraint skills, training programs, or drug-
related family counseling, may already be available in the community of
the applicant's housing projects, and the applicant must act to bring
those available program components onto the premises. Activities that
should be included in these programs are:
(1) Drug Education Opportunities for Residents. The causes and
effects of [[Page 9546]] illegal drug usage must be discussed in a
formal setting to provide both young people and adults the working
knowledge and skills they need to make informed decisions to confront
the potential and immediate dangers of illegal drugs. Grantees may
contract (in accordance with 24 CFR part 85.36) with drug education
professionals to provide appropriate training or workshops. The drug
education professionals contracted to provide these services shall be
required to base their services upon the program plan of the grantee.
These educational opportunities may be a part of resident meetings,
youth activities, or other gatherings of residents.
(2) Family and Other Support Services. Drug prevention programs
must demonstrate that they will provide directly or otherwise make
available services designed to distribute drug education information,
to foster effective parenting skills, and to provide referrals for
treatment and other available support services in the project or the
community for federally-assisted low-income housing families.
(3) Youth Services. Drug prevention programs must demonstrate that
they have included groups composed of young people as a part of their
prevention programs. These groups must be coordinated by adults with
the active participation of youth to organize youth leadership, sports,
recreational, cultural, and other activities involving housing youth.
The dissemination of drug education information, the development of
peer leadership skills, and other drug prevention activities must be a
component of youth services. Activities or services funded under this
program may not also be funded under the Youth Sports Program.
(4) Economic/Educational Opportunities for Residents and Youth.
Drug prevention programs should demonstrate a capacity to provide
residents the opportunity for referral to established higher education
or vocational institutions with the goal of developing or building on
the residents' skills to pursue educational, vocational, and economic
goals. The program must also demonstrate the ability to provide
residents the opportunity to interact with private sector businesses in
their immediate community for the same desired goals.
(B) Intervention. The aim of intervention is to identify federally
assisted low-income housing resident drug users and assist them in
modifying their behavior and in obtaining early treatment, if
necessary. The applicant must establish a program with the goal of
preventing drug problems from continuing once detected.
(C) Drug Treatment. (1) Treatment funded under this program shall
be in or around the premises of the federally assisted low-income
housing projects proposed for funding.
(2) Funds awarded under this program shall be targeted towards the
development and implementation of new drug referral treatment services
and/or aftercare, or the improvement or expansion of such program
services for residents.
(3) Each proposed drug treatment program should address the
following goals:
(i) Increase resident accessibility to drug treatment services;
(ii) Decrease criminal activity in and around federally assisted
low-income housing projects by reducing illicit drug use among
residents; and
(iii) Provide services designed for youth and/or maternal drug
abusers (e.g., prenatal/postpartum care, specialized counseling in
women's issues, parenting classes, or other drug supportive services).
(4) Approaches that have proven effective with similar populations
will be considered for funding. Programs should meet the following
criteria:
(i) Applicants may provide the service of formal referral
arrangements to other treatment programs not in or around the project
when the resident is able to obtain treatment costs from sources other
than this program. Applicants may also provide transportation for
residents to out-patient treatment and/or support programs.
(ii) Provide family/collateral counseling.
(iii) Provide linkages to educational/vocational counseling.
(iv) Provide coordination of services to appropriate local drug
agencies, HIV-related service agencies, and mental health and public
health programs.
(v) Applicants must demonstrate a working partnership with the
Single State Agency or State license provider or authority with drug
program coordination responsibilities to coordinate, develop, and
implement the drug treatment proposal. In particular, applicants must
review and determine with the Single State Agency or State license
provider or authority with drug program coordination responsibilities
whether:
(A) The drug treatment provider(s) has provided drug treatment
services to similar populations, identified in the application, for two
prior years; and
(B) The drug treatment proposal is consistent with the State
treatment plan and the treatment service meets all State licensing
requirements.
(vi) Funding is not permitted for treatment of residents at any in-
patient medical treatment programs/facilities.
(vii) Funding is not permitted for detoxification procedures, short
term or long term, designed to reduce or eliminate the presence of
toxic substances in the body tissues of a patient.
(viii) Funding is not permitted for maintenance drug programs.
Maintenance drugs are medications that are prescribed regularly for a
long period of supportive therapy (e.g., methadone maintenance), rather
than for immediate control of a disorder.
(iii) Resident Councils (RCs). Providing funding to resident
councils to strengthen their role in developing programs of eligible
activities involving site residents is eligible for funding under this
program.
(2) Ineligible Activities. Funding is not permitted for any
activities listed below:
(i) Any activity or improvement that is normally funded from
project operating revenues for routine maintenance or repairs, or those
activities or improvements that may be funded through reasonable and
affordable rent increases;
(ii) The acquisition of real property or physical improvements that
involve the demolition of any units in the project or displacement of
tenants.
(iii) Costs incurred prior to the effective date of the grant
agreement, including, but not limited to, consultant fees for surveys
related to the application or its preparation;
(iv) Reimbursement of local law enforcement agencies for additional
security and protective services;
(v) The employment of one or more individuals:
(A) To investigate drug-related crime on or about the real property
comprising any federally assisted low-income project; and
(B) To provide evidence relating to such crime in any
administrative or judicial proceeding;
(vi) The provision of training, communications equipment, and other
related equipment for use by voluntary tenant patrols acting in
cooperation with local law enforcement officials.
(3) Eligible Applicants. The applicant must be the owner of a
federally assisted low-income housing project under:
(i) Section 221(d)(3), section 221(d)(4) or 236 of the National
Housing Act. (Note, however, that only section 221(d)(4) and section
221(d)(3) market rate projects with project-based assistance contracts
are considered federally assisted low-income housing.
[[Page 9547]] Therefore, section 221(d)(4) and section 221(d)(3) market
rate projects with tenant-based assistance contracts are not considered
federally assisted low-income housing and are not eligible for
funding.)
(ii) Section 101 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965;
or
(iii) Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937.
(4) General Grant Requirements. The following requirements apply to
all activities, programs, or functions used to plan, budget, and
evaluate the work funded under this program.
(i) After applications have been ranked and selected, HUD and the
applicant shall enter into a grant agreement setting forth the amount
of the grant, the physical improvements or other eligible activities to
be undertaken, financial controls, and special conditions, including
sanctions for violation of the agreement.
(ii) The policies, guidelines, and requirements of this NOFA, 48
CFR part 31, other applicable OMB cost principles, HUD program
regulations, HUD Handbooks, and the terms of grant/special conditions
and subgrant agreements apply to the acceptance and use of assistance
by grantees and will be followed in determining the reasonableness and
allocability of costs. All costs must be reasonable and necessary.
(iii) The term of funded activities may not exceed 12 months.
(iv) Owners must ensure that any funds received under this program
are not commingled with other HUD or project operating funds.
(v) To avoid duplicate funding, owners must establish controls to
assure that any funds from other sources, such as Reserve for
Replacement or Rent Increases, are not used to fund the physical
improvements to be undertaken under this program.
(vi) Employment preference. A grantee under this program shall give
preference to the employment of residents, and comply with section 3 of
the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 and 24 CFR part 135, to
carry out any of the eligible activities under this part, so long as
such residents have qualifications and training comparable to
nonresident applicants.
(vii) Termination of funding. HUD may terminate funding if the
grantee fails to undertake the approved program activities on a timely
basis in accordance with the grant agreement, adhere to grant agreement
requirements or special conditions, or submit timely and accurate
reports.
(viii) Subgrants (subcontracting).
(A) A grantee may directly undertake any of the eligible activities
under this NOFA or it may contract with a qualified third party,
including incorporated Resident Councils (RCs). Resident groups that
are not incorporated RCs may share with the grantee in the
implementation of the program, but may not receive funds as
subgrantees.
(B) Subgrants or cash contributions to incorporated RCs may be made
only under a written agreement executed between the grantee and the RC.
The agreement must include a program budget that is acceptable to the
grantee and that is otherwise consistent with the grant application
budget. The agreement must obligate the incorporated RC to permit the
grantee to inspect and audit the RC financial records related to the
agreement, and to account to the grantee on the use of grant funds and
on the implementation of program activities. In addition, the agreement
must describe the nature of the activities to be undertaken by the
subgrantee, the scope of the subgrantee's authority, and the amount of
insurance to be obtained by the grantee and the subgrantee to protect
their respective interests.
(C) The grantee shall be responsible for monitoring, and for
providing technical assistance to, any subgrantee to ensure compliance
with HUD program requirements, including OMB Circular Nos. A-110 and A-
122, that apply to the acceptance and use of assistance by private
nonprofit organizations. The procurement requirements of Attachment O
of Circular A-110 apply to RCs. The grantee must also ensure that
subgrantees have appropriate insurance liability coverage.
(d) Selection Criteria and Ranking Factors
HUD will review each application to determine that it meets the
requirements of this NOFA and to assign points in accordance with the
selection criteria. A total of 200 points is the maximum score
available under the selection criteria. An application must receive a
score of at least 151 points out of the maximum of 200 points that may
be awarded under this competition to be eligible for funding. After
assigning points to each application, HUD Offices will rank the
applications in order. The Award Office will select the highest ranking
application from each HUD Office whose eligible activities can be fully
funded. The Award Office will then select the highest scored unfunded
application submitted to it regardless of Field Office and continue the
process until all funds allocated to it have been awarded or to the
point where there are insufficient acceptable applications for which to
award funds. Grants under this program are categorically excluded from
review under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42
U.S.C. 4321). However, prior to the award of grant funds under the
program, HUD will perform an environmental review to the extent
required under the provisions of 24 CFR 50.4. Each application
submitted will be evaluated on the basis of the following selection
criteria:
(1) The Quality of the Plan To Address the Problem (Maximum Points: 50)
In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the following
factors:
(i) The quality of the applicant's plan to address the drug-related

the projects proposed for funding, and how well the activities proposed
for funding fit in with the plan. (maximum points: 10)
(ii) The anticipated effectiveness of the plan and the proposed
activities in reducing or eliminating drug-related crime problems over
an extended period. (maximum points: 10)
(iii) How the activities identified in the plan will affect and
address the problem of drug-related crime in adjacent properties.
(maximum points: 5)
(iv) Evidence that the proposed activities have been found
successful in similar circumstances in terms of controlling drug-
related crime. (maximum points: 5)
(v) Whether the property is located within an area identified as
having a Safe Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) or similar plan or
program designated for combatting drug-related criminal activity. (20
points if so located, 0 points if not.)
(2) The Support of Local Government/Law Enforcement Agencies (Maximum
Points: 20)
In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the following
factors:
(i) Evidence that the project owner has sought assistance in
deterring drug-related crime problems and the extent to which the owner
has participated in programs that are available from local governments
or law enforcement agencies; (maximum points: 10) and
(ii) The level of support by the local government or law
enforcement agency for the applicant's proposed activities (Maximum
points: 10) [[Page 9548]]
(3) The Extent of the Drug-Related Crime Problem in the Housing Project
Proposed for Assistance (Maximum Points: 50)
In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the degree of
severity of the drug-related crime problem in the project proposed for

(5) Capacity of Owner and Management To Undertake the Proposed
Activities: (Maximum Points: 50)
In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the following:
(i) The most recent Management Review completed by the HUD Office.
(Note: The HUD Office will conduct another management review after
application submission if the most recent management review is more
than one year old). (maximum points: 40)
(ii) Submission of evidence that project owners have initiated
other efforts to reduce drug-related crime by working with tenant/law
enforcement groups (e.g., establishment of ``Tenant Watches'' or
similar efforts). (maximum points: 5)
(iii) Submission of evidence that project management carefully
screens applicants for units and takes appropriate steps to deal with
tenants known or suspected to exhibit drug-related criminal behavior.
(maximum points: 5)
II. Application Process
(a) Application Form
An application form may be obtained from the HUD Office having
jurisdiction over the location of the applicant project. The HUD Office
will be available to provide technical assistance on the preparation of
applications during the application period.
(b) Application Submission
A separate application must be submitted for each project. An
application (original and one copy) must be received by the deadline at
the appropriate HUD Office with jurisdiction over the applicant

State, tribal or local law enforcement agencies, or information from
the applicant's records on the types and sources of drug-related crime
in the project proposed for assistance; descriptive data as to the
types of offenders committing drug-related crime in the applicant's
project (e.g., age, residence, etc.); the number of lease terminations
or evictions for drug-related criminal activity; the number of
emergency room admissions for drug use or drug-related crime; the
number of police calls for [[Page 9549]] drug-related criminal
activity; the number of residents placed in treatment for substance
abuse; and the school drop-out rate and level of absenteeism for youth.
If crime statistics are not available at the project or precinct level,
the applicant may use other reliable, objective data including those
derived from the owner's records or those of private groups that
collect such data. The crime statistics should be reported both in real
numbers, and as a percentage of the residents in each project (e.g., 20
arrests for distribution of heroin in a project with 100 residents
reflects a 20 percent occurrence rate). The data should cover the past
three-year period and, to the extent feasible, should indicate whether
these data reflect a percentage increase or decrease in drug-related
crime over the past several years. Applicants must address in their
assessment how these crimes have affected the project and how the
applicant's overall plan and strategy is specifically tailored to
address these drug-related crime problems.
(2) Other data on the extent of drug-related crime. To the extent
that objective data as described under paragraph (1) of this section
may not be available, or to complement that data, the assessment may
use relevant information from other sources that have a direct bearing
on drug-related crime problems in the project proposed for assistance.
However, if other relevant information is to be used in place of,
rather than to complement, objective data, the application must
indicate the reason(s) why objective data could not be obtained and
what efforts were made to obtain it. Examples of other data include:
resident/staff surveys on drug-related issues or on-site reviews to
determine drug activity; the use of local government or scholarly
studies or other research conducted in the past year that analyze drug
activity in the targeted project; vandalism costs and related vacancies
attributable to drug-related crime; information from schools, health
service providers, residents and police; and the opinions and
observations of individuals having direct knowledge of drug-related
crime problems concerning the nature and extent of those problems in
the project proposed for assistance. (These individuals may include law
enforcement officials, resident or community leaders, school officials,
community medical officials, drug treatment or counseling
professionals, or other social service providers.)
(i) If applying for drug treatment program funding, a certification
that the applicant has notified and consulted with the relevant Single
State Agency or other local authority with drug program coordination
responsibilities concerning its application; and that the proposed drug
treatment program has been reviewed by the relevant Single State Agency
or other local authority and that it is consistent with the State
treatment plan; and that the relevant Single State Agency or other
local authority has determined that the drug treatment provider(s) has
provided drug treatment services to similar populations, identified in
the application, for two prior years.
(j) Drug-free workplace. The certification with regard to the drug-
free workplace required by 24 CFR part 24, subpart F and appendix C.
(k) Disclosure of Lobbying Activities. If the amount applied for is
greater than $100,000, the certification with regard to lobbying
required by 24 CFR part 87 must be included. See section VI.(h), below,
of this NOFA. If the amount applied for is greater than $100,000, and
the applicant has made or has agreed to make any payment using
nonappropriated funds for lobbying activity, as described in 24 CFR
part 87, the submission must also include the Disclosure of Lobbying
Activities Form (SF-LLL).
(l) Form HUD-2880, Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report.
IV. Corrections to Deficient Applications
HUD will notify the applicant within 10 working days of the receipt
of the application if there are any curable technical deficiencies in
the application. Curable technical deficiencies relate to minimum
eligibility requirements (such as certifications and signatures) that
are necessary for funding approval but that do not relate to the
quality of the applicant's program proposal under the selection
criteria. The owner must submit corrections in accordance with the
information provided by HUD within 14 calendar days of the date of the
HUD notification.
V. Other Matters
(a) Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity
The following nondiscrimination and equal opportunity requirements
apply:
(1) The requirements of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968
(Fair Housing Act) (42 U.S.C. 3600-20) and implementing regulations
issued at subchapter A of title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations,
as amended by 54 FR 3232 (published January 23, 1989); Executive Order
11063 (Equal Opportunity in Housing) and implementing regulations at 24
CFR part 107; and title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C.
2000d-2000d-4) (Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs) and
implementing regulations issued at 24 CFR part 1;
(2) The prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of age
under the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C. 6101-07) and
implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 146, and the prohibitions
against discrimination against handicapped individuals under section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794) and implementing
regulations at 24 CFR part 8;
(3) The requirements of Executive Order 11246 (Equal Employment
Opportunity) and the regulations issued under the Order at 41 CFR
Chapter 60;
(4) The requirements of Executive Orders 11625, 12432, and 12138.
Consistent with HUD's responsibilities under these Orders, recipients
must make efforts to encourage the use of minority and women's business
enterprises in connection with funded activities.
(b) Environmental Impact
At the time of the publication of the proposed rule for the
Federally Assisted Low Income Housing Drug Elimination Program, a
Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment was
made in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 50 that
implement section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332). The initial finding applies to this NOFA, and is
available for public inspection and copying from 7:30 to 5:30 weekdays
in the Office of the Rules Docket Clerk, Room 10276, 451 Seventh
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410.
(c) Federalism Impact
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a)
of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the
provisions of this NOFA do not have federalism implications within the
meaning of the Order. The NOFA announces the availability of funds and
provides the application requirements for Federally Assisted Low Income
Housing Drug Elimination Grants, which fund activities designed to
deter drug-related crime. Deterring drug-related crime is a recognized
goal of general benefit without direct implications on States or their
political subdivisions, or the relationship between the Federal
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among various levels of government. [[Page 9550]]
(d) Family Impact
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under Executive
Order 12606, The Family, has determined that the policies announced in
this NOFA would not have potential for significant impact on family
formation, maintenance, and general well-being, except indirectly to
the extent of the social and other benefits expected from this program
of assistance.
(e) Section 102 HUD Reform Act Applicant/Recipient Disclosures
Accountability in the Provision of HUD Assistance
HUD has promulgated a final rule to implement section 102 of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (HUD
Reform Act). The final rule is codified at 24 CFR part 12. Section 102
contains a number of provisions that are designed to ensure greater
accountability and integrity in the provision of certain types of
assistance administered by HUD. On January 14, 1992, HUD published in
the Federal Register (57 FR 1942) additional information that gave the
public (including applicants for, and recipients of, HUD assistance)
further information on the implementation of section 102. The
documentation, public access, and disclosure requirements of section
102 are applicable to assistance awarded under this NOFA as follows:
Documentation and Public Access
HUD will ensure that documentation and other information regarding
each application submitted pursuant to this NOFA are sufficient to
indicate the basis upon which assistance was provided or denied. This
material, including any letters of support, will be made available for
public inspection for a five-year period beginning not less than 30
days after the award of the assistance. Material will be made available
in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and
HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 15. In addition, HUD will
include the recipients of assistance pursuant to this NOFA in its
quarterly Federal Register notice of all recipients of HUD assistance
awarded on a competitive basis. (See 24 CFR 12.14(a) and 12.16(b), and
the notice published in the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR
1942), for further information on these requirements.)
Disclosures. HUD will make available to the public for five years
all applicant disclosure reports (HUD Form 2880) submitted in
connection with this NOFA. Update reports (also Form 2880) will be made
available along with the applicant disclosure reports, but in no case
for a period less than three years. All reports--both applicant
disclosures and updates--will be made available in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and HUD's implementing
regulations at 24 CFR part 15. (See 24 CFR subpart C, and the notice
published in the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for
further information on these disclosure requirements.)
(f) Section 103 HUD Reform Act
HUD's regulation implementing section 103 of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 was published May 13,
1991 (56 FR 22088) and became effective on June 12, 1991. That
regulation, codified at 24 CFR part 4, applies to this funding
competition. The requirements of the rule continue to apply until the
announcement of the selection of successful applicants.
HUD employees involved in the review of applications and in the
making of funding decisions are limited by 24 CFR part 4 from providing
advance information to any person (other than an authorized employee of
HUD) concerning funding decisions, or from otherwise giving any
applicant an unfair competitive advantage. Persons who apply for
assistance in this competition should confine their inquiries to the
subject areas permitted under 24 CFR part 4. Applicants who have
general questions about what information may be discussed with them
during the selection may contact the HUD Office of Ethics (202) 708-
3815 or (202) 708-9300 (TDD). (These are not toll-free numbers.)
(g) Section 112 HUD Reform Act
Section 13 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act
contains two provisions dealing with efforts to influence HUD's
decisions with respect to financial assistance. The first imposes
disclosure requirements on those who are typically involved in these
efforts--those who pay others to influence the award of assistance or
the taking of a management action by HUD and those who are paid to
provide the influence. The second restricts the payment of fees to
those who are paid to influence the award of HUD assistance, if the
fees are tied to the number of housing units received or are based on
the amount of assistance received, or if they are contingent upon the
receipt of assistance.
Section 13 was implemented by final rule published in the Federal
Register on May 17, 1991 (56 FR 22912). If readers are involved in any
efforts to influence HUD in these ways, they are urged to read the
final rule, particularly the examples contained in Appendix A of the
rule.
(h) Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities
The use of funds awarded under this NOFA is subject to the
disclosure requirements and prohibitions of section 319 of the
Department of Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for
Fiscal Year 1990 (31 U.S.C. 1352) (the Byrd Amendment) and the
implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 87. These authorities prohibit
recipients of federal contracts, grants, or loans from using
appropriated funds for lobbying the executive or legislative branches
of the federal government in connection with a specific contract,
grant, or loan. The prohibition also covers the awarding of contracts,
grants, cooperative agreements, or loans unless the recipient has made
an acceptable certification regarding lobbying. Under 24 CFR part 87,
applicants, recipients, and subrecipients of assistance exceeding
$100,000 must certify that no federal funds have been or will be spent
on lobbying activities in connection with the assistance. Indian
Housing Authorities (IHAs) established by an Indian tribe as a result
of the exercise of their sovereign power are excluded from coverage,
but IHAs established under State law are not excluded from coverage.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 11901 et. seq.
Dated: January 31, 1995.

Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
