ACTION: Notice of funding availability; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This notice corrects information that was provided in the 
notice of funding availability (NOFA) for the Historically Black 
Colleges and Universities Program for fiscal year 1997, published in 
the Federal Register on May 12, 1997 (62 FR 26180). This notice 
clarifies that 10 bonus points are available for eligible applicants 
who work with their jurisdictions to affirmatively further fair 
housing.

DATES: This notice does not affect the deadline date provided in the 
May 12, 1997 NOFA. Applications must still be received at HUD 
Headquarters and field offices before 5 p.m. eastern standard time on 
July 28, 1997.

ADDRESSES: This notice does not affect the application submission 
information provided in the May 12, 1997 NOFA. An originally signed 
application and two copies shall be submitted to the following address: 
Processing and Control Branch, Office of Community Planning and 
Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 12, 1997, HUD published in the 
Federal Register the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the 
Historically Black Colleges and Universities Program for fiscal year 
(FY) 1997 (62 FR 26180). The May 12, 1997 NOFA provided that applicants 
that receive the minimum number of points (70 points) under the four 
selection criteria (Addressing the Program Objective; Distress, Need(s) 
and Impact; Capability; and Feasibility) may earn bonus points for, 
among other factors, affirmatively furthering fair housing. While the 
heading for the paragraph describing these bonus points (paragraph d. 
under the subheading ``Bonus Points,'' in section I.C. of the NOFA) 
indicates that the applicant may earn 10 bonus points for affirmatively 
furthering fair housing, the first sentence of that paragraph indicates 
that applicants may earn only 5 bonus points. HUD is publishing this 
notice to clarify that 10 bonus points will be awarded to eligible 
applicants that work with their jurisdictions to affirmatively further 
fair housing.
    Accordingly, FR Doc. 97-12452, the NOFA for the Historically Black 
Colleges and Universities Program, published in the Federal Register on 
May 12, 1997 (62 FR 26180), is amended on page 26185, column 2, in 
section I.C., under the subheading ``Bonus Points,'' by correcting the 
first sentence of paragraph d. (``Affirmatively Furthering Fair 
Housing, 10 points'') to read as follows:
I. Purpose, Objectives, and Substantive Description
* * * * *
C. Selection Process, Optional Match and Selection Criteria
* * * * *
    Bonus Points (maximum points: 25)
* * * * *
    d. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, 10 points.
* * * * *
    Ten bonus points will be awarded to applicants who work with their 
jurisdictions to affirmatively further fair housing.
* * * * *
    Dated: May 12, 1997.
Kenneth C. Williams,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Grant Programs.
