SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Notice informs the public that the

emergency processing, an information collection package to the 
Community Renaissance Fellows Program (CRFP).
    The CRFP, in concert with foundations, will promote graduate 
programs or fellowships for comprehensive community building 
approaches. To meet this pressing need and to shape a new generation of 
visionary, highly competent community building urban professionals, HUD 
will provide approximately $3.45 million for this program--$3.0 
millions for the Fellows' stipends and $450,000 for their education.
    HUD has committed to funding approximately 20 CRF to work with 
selected public housing developments and their residents to turn these 
developments into communities of opportunity. HUD is now looking for 
potential partners with a stake in urban neighborhoods to join in this 
innovative program and provide funding for an additional 20 Fellows to 
work with community-based organizations on comprehensive neighborhood 
revitalization projects.
    The Department has submitted the proposal for the collection of 
information to OMB for emergency review, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), with approval being sought by 
March 17, 1997.
