and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 
1999 (Pub. L. 105-276, approved October 21, 1998; 112 Stat. 2461, 2475) 
(the ``FY 1999 HUD Appropriations Act'') made $24 million in FY 1999 
funds available for competitive funding under the Rural Housing and 
Economic Development program. The FY 1999 HUD Appropriations Act also 
specifies that certain unobligated funds authorized by the FY 1998 HUD 
Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 105-65, approved October 27, 1997; 111 
Stat. 1344, 1357) shall be made available under the Rural Housing and 
Economic Development program. The amount of unobligated funds from this 
source is $3 million. Therefore, the total amount of funding made 
available under the NOFA was $27 million. The competition was announced 
in the NOFA published in the Federal Register on March 8, 1999 (64 FR 
4483). Applications were rated and selected for funding on the basis of 
selection criteria contained in that Notice.

    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this 
program is 14.250.

    The Rural Housing and Economic Development Program is designed to 
build capacity at the State and local level for rural housing and 
economic development and to support innovative housing and economic 
development activities in rural areas. The funds made available under 
this program were awarded competitively, through a selection process 
conducted by HUD in consultation with the United States Department of 
Agriculture.
    A total of $27 million was awarded to 91 projects nationwide. In 
accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987. 42 U.S.C. 3545), 
the Department is publishing the grantees and amounts of the awards in 
Appendix A to this document.

    Dated: August 23, 2000.
