SUMMARY: On July 16, 2001, HUD published a notice announcing its intent 
to establish a negotiated rulemaking committee for the purpose of

establishment of the committee will offer Indian tribal governments the 
opportunity to have input into any changes determined to be necessary

The purpose of this document is to make the necessary correction and to 
advise the public that, at this time, HUD has not yet determined the 
date or location of the first committee meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On July 16, 2001 (66 FR 37098), HUD published a notice announcing 
its intent to establish a negotiated rulemaking committee for the 
purpose of negotiating a proposed rule that would revise the allocation 
formula used under the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) Program. The 
establishment of the committee will offer Indian tribal governments the 
opportunity to have input into any changes determined to be necessary 
to improve the distribution of funds under the IHBG Program. Section 
IV. of the July 16, 2001 notice (entitled ``Tentative Schedule'') 
contained a typographical error regarding the tentative date and locale 
of the first negotiated rulemaking committee meeting. Specifically, the 
notice contained a notation to insert the approximate date and location 
of the meeting, but did not provide the necessary information. The 
purpose of this document is to make the necessary correction.
    At this time, HUD has not yet determined the date or location of 
the first committee meeting. Once determined, HUD will provide advance 
notice of the meeting through Federal Register notice. All meetings of 
the negotiated rulemaking committee will be open to the public without 
advance registration. Public attendance may be limited to the space 
available. Members of the public will be provided the opportunity to 
make statements during the meeting, to the extent time permits, and 
file written statements with the committee for its consideration. In 
the event that the date and time of these meetings are changed, HUD 
will advise the public through Federal Register notice.

    Dated: July 20, 2001.
Paula O. Blunt,
Acting General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
