SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 26, 1999 (64 FR 9618), HUD published its FY 1999
SuperNOFA for HUD's Housing, Community Development, and Empowerment
programs. The FY 1999 SuperNOFA announced the availability of
approximately $2.4 billion in HUD program funds covering 32 grant
programs and program components administered by the following HUD
offices: the Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD); the
Office of Housing-Federal Housing Administration (FHA); the Office of
Public and Indian Housing (PIH); the Office of Policy Development and
Research (PD&R); the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity
(FH&EO); and the Office of Lead Hazard Control.
This notice extends the application due dates for the Fair Housing
Initiative Program (FHIP) and the HOPE VI Demolition Grants program
(the application due date for HOPE VI Revitalization Grants remains
unchanged). For the convenience of readers, this notice also provides a
table of contents to the FY 1999 SuperNOFA. The table identifies the

where the individual program sections of the SuperNOFA are located.
Additionally, the notice provides an updated SuperNOFA programs chart
to reflect the change in the application due date for the FHIP and HOPE

corrections and clarifications to the February 26, 1999 SuperNOFA.

Extension of FHIP Application Due Date

The FY 1999 SuperNOFA announce the application due date for the
FHIP program to be April 27, 1999. HUD is extending the application due

Extension of HOPE VI Demolition Grants Application Due Date

The FY 1999 SuperNOFA announced the application due date for the
HOPE VI Demolition Grants program to be May 6, 1999. Section 531 of the

1999 HUD Appropriations Act; Pub. L. 105-276, approved October 21,
1998; 112 Stat. 2461, 2570-2574) amended section 18 of the United

with adequate time to conform their applications to the recent
statutory amendments, HUD is extending the application due date for
HOPE VI Demolition Grants to July 29, 1999. The application due date

As a result of the change in the application due date for the HOPE

chart provided in the February 26, 1999 Federal Register publication
(64 FR 9618, 9620-9626). The chart below identifies the HUD programs
that are part of the FY 1999 SuperNOFA. The chart also includes the

As noted in the General Section to the FY 1999 SuperNOFA, the
approximate available funds for each program are expected funding
levels based on appropriated funds. In the event that HUD recaptures

Corrections and Clarifications Made by This Notice

This notice corrects the following editorial and technical errors
that have been identified in various program sections of the FY 1999
SuperNOFA.
Fair Housing Initiative Program (FHIP). The FHIP program section of
the SuperNOFA is corrected to provide that eligible applicants under
the Joint Enforcement program Component also include Qualified Fair
Housing Organizations (QFHOs) and Fair Housing Organizations (FHOs)
with at least one year of experience in complaint intake, testing for
fair housing violations, and meritorious claims. This correction is
necessary to more accurately reflect the regulatory requirement that
eligible fair housing enforcement organizations have at least one
year's experience in enforcement-related activities.
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program. The Lead-Based paint
Hazard Control Program section is corrected to provide that State and
Indian tribal governments must have submitted a Lead-based Paint
Contractor Certification and Accreditation Program for EPA review and
authorization at the time of application for grant funding. This
correction ensures that State and Indian tribal governments have the
maximum opportunity to compete for this grant program.
Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program. This notice
corrects the addresses for submitting applications under the Section
202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program. The notice also
corrects the erroneous impression that the only condition for which an
option agreement or contract for sale may be terminated is if the
Sponsor is not awarded a fund reservation. It is HUD's intention that
the purchaser is not required to exercise the option to close on the
property if there are problems such as environmental defects, the site
does not pass the inspection, or the appraisal is less than the
purchase price.
Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities
Program. This notice corrects the addresses for submitting applications
under the Section 811 Supportive Housing for Disabilities Program (the
``Section 811 Program''). Additionally, the notice corrects an
inconsistency in the Section 811 Program section regarding project size
for group homes assisted under this program. This notice also clarifies
that at least 51% of a Sponsor's board must consist of persons with
disabilities (including persons with disabilities similar to those of
the prospective residents). The notice also corrects two

[[Page 22638]]

typographical errors regarding necessary application exhibits. This
notice also adds the HUD-Grand Rapids Office to this list of local HUD
offices identified in Appendix A to the Section 811 Program section of
the SuperNOFA.
The notice also corrects the erroneous impression that the only
condition for which an option agreement or contract for sale may be
terminated is if the Sponsor is not awarded a fund reservation. It is
HUD's intention that the purchaser is not required to exercise the
option to close on the property if there are problems such as
environmental defects, the site does not pass the inspection, or the
appraisal is less than the purchase price.
Accordingly, in the SuperNOFA for Housing, Community Development,
and Empowerment Programs, notice document 99-4476, beginning at 64 FR
9618, in the issue of Friday, February 26, 1999, the following
