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

SUMMARY: This notice extends to January 26, 1996 the application due 
date for two FY 1995 Historically Black Colleges and Universities 
(HBCU) Program competitions: (1) To establish Community Development 
Corporations (CDCs) on HBCU Campuses (FR-3937); and (2) Program with 
Units of General Local Government (FR-3945). These NOFAs were published 
in the Federal Register on September 29, 1995 (60 FR 50700). Extensions 
of the original application deadline for these competitions were 
published in the Federal Register on November 8, 1995 (60 FR 56348). 
The deadlines are extended again by this notice to January 26, 1996.

DATES: No applications will be accepted after 4:30 p.m. on January 26, 
1996. 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. Applications may not be submitted by facsimile (FAX).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 29, 1995, HUD published two FY 
1995 HBCU NOFAs: one announcing up to $2.5 million of FY 1995 funding 
for HBCUs to establish Community Development Corporations and one 
announcing up to $1.5 million of FY 1995 funding for HBCUs to undertake 
jointly funded construction/reconstruction projects with units of 
general local government. The application due dates were given as 
November 28, 1995. That date was extended to January 11, 1996 for the 
CDC competition and to January 12, 1996 for the joint local government 
competition. Since the HUD Fiscal Year 1996 appropriations bill has not 
been signed, resulting in a disruption of HUD operations, the deadline 
is again extended. In order to provide more time for the preparation of 
applications and for technical assistance from HUD's HBCU staff, this 
deadline extends the application due date to January 26, 1996 for both 
competitions.

    Dated: January 2, 1996.

Assistant Secretary Community Planning and Development
