    On March 5, 1999, HUD published a NOFA for the Family Unification 
Program. (64 FR 10904)
    This correction notice, published in today's Federal Register, 
makes the following two corrections to paragraph V.(B)(2)(b) in all 
four NOFAs:
    1. The lease-up rate for a PHA's Section 8 rental certificate and 
voucher program should be calculated on a combined basis and not on the 
basis of ``each'' program.
    2. The parenthetical phrase ``(excluding the impact of the three- 
month statutory delay requirement effective in FY 1997 and 1998 for the 
reissuance of rental vouchers and certificates)'' should be removed.
    Accordingly, the four NOFAs are corrected as follows:

Assistance for Non-Elderly Persons with Disabilities in Support of 
Designated Housing Plans (FR-4412-N-01), published in the Federal

programs; or the PHA has failed to achieve a lease-up rate of 90 
percent of units in its HUD-approved budget for the PHA fiscal year 
prior to application for funding in its rental voucher and certificate 
programs combined. The only exception to this category is if the PHA 
has been identified under the policy established in Section I.(D) of 
this NOFA and the PHA makes application with a designated contract 
administrator.
