[Docket No. FR-4663-C-06]


Notice Inviting Applications: Designation of Forty Renewal 
Communities; Technical Correction

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development, HUD.

ACTION: Notice inviting applications; technical correction.

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

SUMMARY: On August 7, 2001, HUD published a Notice inviting 
applications for designation of nominated areas as Renewal Communities. 
This document corrects an error in the Notice by removing arson from 
the list of offenses counted in determining the Crime Index and the 
Local Crime Index.

DATES: Application Due Date: The extended application due date of 
November 2, 2001, in accordance with the Notice of Extension published 
on September 25, 2001 (66 FR 49032), continues to apply.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Haines, Renewal Community 
Initiative, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of 
Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Room 7130, 
Washington, DC 20410, (202) 708-6339. Persons with hearing or speech 
disabilities may call (800) 877-8339 (the Federal Information Relay 
Service-TTY).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 7, 2001 (66 FR 41432), HUD 
published a Notice Inviting Applications for Designation of Forty 
Renewal Communities. The Notice, in section III.C.3.d.ii. at 66 FR 
41437, includes arson in the list of offenses that must be included 
when determining the Local Crime Index (LCI) in a nominated area for 
purposes of comparing the LCI to the FBI's Crime Index (CI).
    Although the offense of arson is included as part of the FBI's 
Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system, it is not included in the Crime 
Index determination because the reporting for arson is not as 
consistent as for other offenses. The reference to arson in the Notice 
is, therefore, being removed. In addition, a correction making 
conforming changes to the July 9, 2001 (66 FR 35850) interim rule for 
Designation of Renewal Communities is published elsewhere in this issue 
of the Federal Register.
    Accordingly, FR Doc. 01-19652, Notice Inviting Applications: 
Designation of Forty Renewal Communities, (FR-4663-N-02), published in 
the Federal Register on August 7, 2001 (66 FR 41432), is corrected as 
follows:
    On page 41437, second column, the last complete sentence of section 
III.C.3.d.ii. is revised to read as follows: ``The offenses used in 
determining the CI, and which therefore must be used in determining the 
LCI, are the violent crimes of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, 
forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, and the property crimes 
of burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft.''

    Dated: October 10, 2001.
Roy A. Bernardi,
Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
