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

SUMMARY: On February 24, 2000, HUD published its Fiscal Year (FY) 2000 
Super Notice of Funding Availability (SuperNOFA) for HUD's Housing, 
Community Development, and Empowerment Programs and Section 8 Housing 
Voucher Assistance. This document extends the application due date to 
apply for funding for regional economic development projects under the 
Economic Development Initiative (EDI). This application due date 
extension is only for the regional economic development project 
applications.

DATES: The application due date for EDI regional economic development 
projects applications is extended by this notice to July 14, 2000.

or Paul Webster of the Office of Economic Development Department of 
Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Room 7136,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 24, 2000 (65 FR 9322), HUD 
published its Fiscal Year (FY) 2000 Super Notice of Funding 
Availability (SuperNOFA) for HUD's Housing, Community Development, and 
Empowerment Programs and Section 8 Housing Voucher Assistance. The FY 
2000 SuperNOFA announced the availability of approximately $2.424 
billion in HUD program funds covering 39 grant categories within 
programs operated and administered by HUD offices and Section 8 housing 
voucher assistance. The FY 2000 SuperNOFA included HUD's funding 
availability announcement for the Economic Development Initiative 
(EDI). The EDI section of the SuperNOFA announced the availability of 
approximately $24.1 million in EDI funds to stimulate economic 
development by local governments and private sector parties.
    This document extends the application due date to apply for funding 
for regional economic development projects under the Economic 
Development Initiative (EDI) to July 14, 2000. This application due 
date extension is only for regional economic development project 
applications. It has been brought to HUD's attention that the amount of 
time necessary to collect and compile the information necessary for a 
regional economic development project application is more time 
consuming than that required for general economic development project 
applications. Accordingly, HUD is providing additional time to prepare 
and submit regional economic development project applications. (Please 
note that the EDI application due was extended previously to June 13, 
2000, for all applications by notice published in the Federal Register 
on May 9, 2000 (65 FR 26844).)
    Please note that applicants that already submitted applications for 
regional economic development projects by the June 13, 2000, 
application due date, need not resubmit a new application and need not 
amend their applications. Applicants that already submitted 
applications for regional economic development projects, however, may 
submit new or amended applications if they choose to do so. Applicants 
that already submitted applications and plan to submit new or amended 
applications should clearly identify whether the information submitted 
is new and replaces a previously submitted application in its entirety 
or is an addendum or amendment to the previously submitted application.
    The funding availability announcement for EDI is found at page 9787 
of the February 24, 2000 SuperNOFA. The original announcement contains 
all the information with respect to EDI application contents and where 
to submit EDI applications. This notice only provides the extended due 
date for

regional economic development project applications.

Community Development, and Empowerment Programs and Section 8 Housing 
Voucher Assistance for Fiscal Year 2000, notice document 00-4123, 
beginning at 65 FR 9322, in the issue of Friday, February 24, 2000, the
