SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 29, 1995 (60 FR 50694), HUD 
published a FY 1995 HBCU NOFA announcing up to $1.5 million of FY 1995 
funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) to 
undertake jointly funded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 
projects with units of general local government (UGLG). The application 
due date given in that publication is November 28, 1995. In order to 
provide more time for the preparation of applications under the NOFA, 
which differed in its focus from previous HBCU NOFAs, this notice 
extends the application due date to January 12, 1996.
    In response to inquiries concerning the HBCU UGLG NOFA published on 
September 29, 1995, HUD in this notice is also providing the following 
clarification of terms used in that NOFA:
    The joint program efforts to be undertaken by HBCUs with units of 
general local governments to establish multiple use community services 
facilities on HBCU campuses are joint new construction or major 
reconstruction projects. This clarification, emphasizes, and is 
consistent with, the statement in the third column on p. 50694 of the 
NOFA: ``Those applicants planning to use funds for the provision of 
public services are bound by the statutory requirement that not more 
than 15% of the total grant amount be used for public service 
activities.''
    Additional clarification is provided with respect to the definition 
of ``campus.'' As used in the NOFA, ``campus'' means the grounds and 
buildings of a university or college.

    Dated: November 2, 1995.
Andrew Cuomo,
Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
