follows:
    (b) Authority. The assistance that may be made available under this 
NOFA is authorized by the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act (42 U.S.C. 
12901). The Congress has not yet enacted a FY 1996 appropriation for 
HUD. However, HUD is publishing this notice in order to give potential 
applicants adequate time to prepare applications. The amount of funds 
announced in this NOFA is an estimate of the amount that may be enacted 
for fiscal year 1996. HUD is not bound by the estimate set forth in 
this notice. The regulations for HOPWA are found at 24 CFR part 574.
    6. On page 7666, in the third column, the paragraph titled ``(b) 
Competition.'' is amended by adding in the second sentence after the 
word ``panel'' the phrase ``or panels'' and by adding after the word 
``obtain'' the phrase ``certain expertise and''.
    7. On page 7666, in the first column, the first full paragraph is 
revised by removing the third sentence and replacing it with a sentence 
that reads: Supplemental information to the application package will 
contain information that further describes examples of model efforts.
    8. On page 7669, in the second column, the last words ``or (202) 
708-9300'' of the introductory paragraph of Appendix A are removed and 
the term ``(TDD)'' is replaced where ever it appears in the notice with 
the term ``(TTY)''.

    Dated: March 27, 1996.
