SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Rural Housing and Economic Development

26, 2001 (66 FR 12187). Applications were rated and selected for 
funding on the basis of selection criteria contained in that Notice.
    The Rural Housing and Economic Development Program is designed to

economic development and to support innovative housing and economic 
development activities in rural areas. Eligible applicants are local 
rural non-profit organizations, community development corporations, 
Indian tribes, and State housing finance agencies. The funds made

selection process conducted by HUD in consultation with the United 
States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
    Prior to the rating and ranking of this year's applications, Butler
