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 
page numbers in the February 26, 1999 Federal Register publication 
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 
VI Demolition Grants programs. This notice also makes various technical 
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 
date for the FHIP program to June 30, 1999.

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 
Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1996 (title V of the FY 
1999 HUD Appropriations Act; Pub. L. 105-276, approved October 21, 
1998; 112 Stat. 2461, 2570-2574) amended section 18 of the United 
States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437p), which governs the 
demolition and disposition of public housing. To provide applicants 
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 
for HOPE VI Revitalization Grants announced in the FY 1999 SuperNOFA 
(May 27, 1999) is unchanged.

Updated SuperNOFA Programs Chart

    As a result of the change in the application due date for the HOPE 
VI Demolition Grants program, HUD is reprinting the SuperNOFA programs 
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 
application due date for each program (reflecting the revised due dates 
for the FHIP and HOPE VI Demolition Grants programs), the OMB approval 
number for the information collection requirements contained in the 
specific program, and the catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) 
number.
    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 
funds or other funds become available for any program, HUD reserves the 
right to increase the available program funding amounts by the amount 
available.

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
