General Section of SuperNOFA [Page 13826]

    HUD amends the List of HUD Field Offices in APPENDIX A-1 on page

[[Page 35554]]

13844 to show the correct address, phone and FAX numbers of all HUD 
Field Offices. The previous Appendix contained some inaccurate 
listings. (See page 13844).

Community Development Block Grants for Indian Tribes and Alaskan Native 
Villages [13907]

    In the table on page 13915, under paragraph J of Section V 
(Application Selection Process), HUD corrects the number of points 
under Rating Factor 3, Subfactor 1 to read 14 points. HUD also corrects 
the number of points under Rating Factor 3, Subfactor (2) to read 5 
points. Additionally, the entry ``All Project Types'' under ``PROJECT 
TYPE'' for Rating Factor 2 is erroneous and is removed.
    Under Rating Factor 2 (Need/Extent of the Problem) on page 13916, 
HUD is revising paragraph (2) to add language with respect to the 
requirements for documenting persons employed by the project.
    Paragraph (C)(6) of Section VI on page 13919 is removed, because it 
is not possible to award RC/EZ/EC bonus points under the Community 
Development Block Grants For Indian Tribes And Alaskan Native Villages 
program.

Community Outreach Partnership Centers (COPC) [Page 13927]

    Section I on page 13929 is revised to add a new paragraph that sets 
out the appropriate address to which applications are to be mailed. The 
revision also corrects the caption and placement of some of the 
paragraphs in the section.
    Paragraph (D) of Section IV (Program Requirements) is amended by 
adding a new sentence at the end of the paragraph to read ``You should 
use HUD-3001 Community Outreach Partnership Centers Matching 
Requirements to show how you have met the match requirements.'' (See 
page 13931).
    Paragraph IV(D)(2)(b) (Outreach Activities) is amended by removing 
the last two sentences in the second paragraph and substituting the 
following sentence: ``An example of how you should calculate match 
correctly, and Forms 30011 (New Directions) and 30012 (New Grants) are 
included in the Application Kit. The completed form should be included 
with your application.'' (See page 13931).
    Paragraph (C) of Section VI (Application Submission Requirements) 
is removed because the form is not required. The remaining paragraphs 
are redesignated accordingly. (See page 13935).

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) [Page 13949]

    HUD corrects the form number in paragraph (A)(3) of Section VI 
(Application Submission Requirements) to read SF-424D. (See page 
13956).

Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) Program 
[13969]

    In Section III(B) (Eligible Applicants) on page 13972, HUD adds an 
introductory sentence that clarifies the definition of an ``Eligible 
Applicant.''

Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Assisting Communities (AN/NHIAC) Program 
[13981]

    In the Program Overview at page 13981, HUD extends the Application 
Deadline from June 20, 2002 to July 20, 2002. Consistent with the HUD 
Reform Act of 1989, this change permits NHIs with multiple campuses 
time to submit one application per campus, rather than being limited to 
submitting one application per institution. Similarly, in Section I 
(Application Due Date, Application Kits, Further Information, and 
Technical Assistance), page 19383, second column, last paragraph, HUD 
removes language that limits NHIs with multiple campuses from 
submitting more than one application per institution.
    In Section III(B) (Eligible Applicants), on page 13984, HUD adds an 
introductory sentence that clarifies the definition of an ``Eligible 
Applicant.''
    Also in Section III(B), in the second paragraph, middle column, HUD 
corrects the first sentence of the paragraph to read `` If you are an 
NHI and your institution has multiple campuses, each one is eligible to 
apply separately, as long as it meets the above-described enrollment 
threshold. You may undertake as many projects and activities as you 
want, as long as you do not exceed the $600,000 cap for an 
application.'' The remainder of the paragraph is removed.

Tribal Colleges and Universities Program [Page 13993]

    In Section III(B) (Eligible Applicants) on page 13995, HUD adds an 
introductory sentence that clarifies the definition of an ``Eligible 
Applicant.''
    In paragraph (E)(3) of Section V (Application Submission 
Requirements) on page 13999, HUD corrects the number of factors for 
award to read five.

Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program [Page 14065]

    HUD amends paragraph B of Section IV (Program Requirements) to add 
a sentence at the end of the paragraph that reserves to HUD the right 
to approve no-cost time extensions for a period not to exceed 36 
months. (See page 14070).
    HUD amends paragraph (c)(ii) on page 14074 under Rating Factor 3 
(Soundness of Approach) to correct the unit of measurement to read 
g with respect to the standard for testing lead in dust.

Healthy Homes and Lead Technical Studies [Page 14091]

    HUD amends Section V(A) (Submitting Applications for Grants) on 
page 14096 to remove the parenthetical phrase--``(e.g., 12 to 24 months 
from the date of award)''. (See page 14096, middle column, first full 
paragraph.)
    HUD amends Section IV(E) (Period of Performance) by removing the 
existing language and substituting new language to read as follows: 
``Period of Performance. The period of performance is 36 months. HUD 
reserves the right to approve no-cost time extensions for up to an 
additional 3 years based upon the submission of adequate justification 
by the grantee.'' (See page 14096).

Healthy Homes Demonstration Program [Page 14113]

    HUD amends paragraph (B) (Period of Performance) of Section IV by 
removing the existing language and substituting new language to read as 
follows: ``Period of Performance. The period of performance is 36 
months. HUD reserves the right to approve no-cost time extensions for 
up to an additional 3 years based upon the submission of adequate 
justification by the grantee.'' (See page 14117).

Youthbuild [Page 14163]

    In Section VI (Application Selection Process), HUD amends paragraph 
(B)(3)(A)(ii) to remove the word ``more'' and substitute in its place 
``fewer.'' (See page 14167).

Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI) [Page 14137]

    On page 14147, first column, HUD amends paragraph (G)(4) of Section 
VI (Application Submission Requirements) to add the requirement that 
Form HUD 40122, Section 108 Loan Guarantee, State Certifications 
Related to Nonentitlement Entities be submitted to HUD as part of the 
BEDI application package, along with the requirement to submit Form 
HUD-40076-EDI/BEDI, Rating Factor 4: Leveraging Resources/Financial 
Need Sources and Uses

[[Page 35555]]

Statement. The two Forms are added to Appendix A at pages 14154 and 
14155.

Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs [Page 14363]

    On page 14364, middle column, HUD amends the final paragraph of 
Section II (Amount Allocated) to correct the reference to ``FY 2003'' 
to read ``calendar year 2003''.
    On page 14365, third column, Section III(A)(3) (Project Renewals), 
in line 7 of the first paragraph, HUD also is correcting the reference 
to ``FY 2003'' to read ``calendar year 2003''.

Resident Opportunities and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) Program [Page 14205]

    HUD amends paragraph (C)(2)(iii) of Section II (Amount Allocated) 
on page 14208 to clarify the category and maximum amounts for which 
tribes are eligible. The amendment also makes clear that Tribes/TDHEs 
may serve a single tribal group.
    In paragraph (3)(a)(i) (Maximum grant amount) of Section II (Amount 
Allocated) on page 14208, the reference to section III(e) is corrected 
to read II(C)(3)(e).
    In paragraph (C)(3)(e) of Section II on page 14208, the reference 
to the fiscal year is corrected to read 2002, not 2001.
    Paragraph (D)(1)(a) of Section III on page 14213 is corrected to 
add ``and tribes/TDHEs'' immediately after ``(IROs)''.
    In paragraph (ii) of Section (II)(C)(5), the introductory phrase is 
amended by removing the words ``new and''. (See page 14209).
    In Section V(D)(2) (Factors for Award Used to Evaluate and Rate HSS 
Applications) in the second sentence, HUD corrects a typographical 
error to change the maximum number of points available to read 102, not 
1024 (See page 14221).
    Paragraph (i) of Section II(C)(4) is amended to add ``/or'' 
immediately after ``and'' in the first sentence. (See page 14208).
    Paragraph (E) (Number of Applications Permitted) of Section II is 
amended to add a new sentence before the last sentence in the paragraph 
to read as follows: ``A PHA, RA, RO, or nonprofit may not submit an 
application to serve the same development.'' (See page 14209).
    In Section III (Program Description; Eligible Applicants; Eligible 
Activities) paragraph (F)(1) (Eligible Applicants) is amended by adding 
``/or'' immediately after ``and'' and by adding ``or participated'' 
immediately after ``participates''. Also in Section III, paragraph 
(F)(2)(a) is amended by adding ``/or'' immediately after ``and'' and by 
adding ``or participated'' immediately after ``participates''. (See 
page 14215).
    Paragraph (E)(2)(b) in Section VI (Application Submission 
Requirements) is revised to read ``(b) and/or participates or 
participated in a public housing family self-sufficiency program funded 
from operating subsidies,'' (See page 14229).

Section 202  Supportive Housing for the Elderly [Page 14375]

    In Section I (Application Due Date, Application Kits, Further 
Information, and Technical Assistance), HUD corrects the first 
paragraph to provide that all mailed applications must be postmarked on 
or before midnight of June 5, 2002 and received by HUD within 15 days 
of the due date. (See page 14377).
    Also in Section I, HUD is adding a paragraph 5 to state that 
``Applications for projects proposed to be located within the 
jurisdiction of the Grand Rapids, Michigan Office must be submitted to 
the Detroit, Michigan Office.'' (See middle column, page 14377). 
Further, HUD is notifying applicants of address changes to several 
local HUD offices. See the Section 811 technical corrections involving 
page 14439 of the Section 811 program NOFA.
    The Note at the end of Section III(D) (Ineligible Activities) is 
amended to clarify that existing Federally funded or assisted projects 
or projects insured or guaranteed by a Federal agency involving 
refinancing are not permissible activities under this Section 202 NOFA. 
This clarification is necessary because HUD does not consider it 
appropriate to utilize scarce program resources to refinance projects 
that have already received some form of assistance under a Federal 
program. For example, Section 202 or Section 202/8 direct loan projects 
cannot be refinanced with capital advances and project rental 
assistance. (See middle column, page 14383).
    Section V(C) on page 14385, middle column, is amended to add 
Renewal Communities (RC) to the other two federally designated areas 
appearing in the section. Identical amendments are made to Section 
V(D), first column (see page 14386), Section V(D), Bonus Points, third 
column (see page 14387), and the Table of Contents in Appendix B (see 
page 14396). The reference in Section V(C), Section V(D) and in the 
Table of Contents in Appendix B now reads RC/EZ/EC, making it 
consistent with the reference used in Section III(C)(1) of the General 
Section of the SuperNOFA. (See page 13839). The amendment clarifies 
that projects that are located in an RC/EZ/EC area are eligible to 
receive the two bonus points in the rating of their application.
    HUD amends paragraph (B)(7)(i) of Section VI (Application 
Submission Requirements) to correct the title of Form HUD-2990 to read 
Certification of Consistency with the RC/EZ/EC Strategic Plan (HUD-
2990). (See page 14391).
    In Section VI (Application Submission Requirements), paragraph 
(B)(4)(c)(iv) is amended to read ``Describe your plan for getting your 
project to initial closing and start of construction within the initial 
18-month term of the fund reservation (optional).'' (See page 14389). 
In making the revision, HUD is not asking applicants to describe their 
plans to complete construction and finally close the project within the 
initial 18-month fund reservation term because HUD recognizes that such 
an event would be unlikely.
    Under Rating Factor 3 (Soundness of Approach), paragraph (h) is 
amended to read ``(-1 point) Your application did not include a plan 
for getting your project to initial closing and start of construction 
within the initial fund reservation period of 18-months.'' (See page 
14387). The amendment here is consistent with the change made to 
Section VI(B)(4)(c)(iv).
    Paragraph (B)(4)(d)(i)(A) (pertaining to HUD's site control 
requirements) of Section VI (Application Submission Requirements) is 
amended to require a lease with a term of 50 years with renewable 
provisions for 25 years in cases where the form of site control is a 
leasehold. HUD recognizes that in some areas, applicants are unable to 
obtain a lease on sites for an initial term of 75 years due to, for 
example, state, local or tribal laws prohibiting such long-term leases. 
This restriction has the effect of excluding such sites from the 
Section 202 program. HUD has determined to make the change to require 
50-year leases with renewable provisions for 25 years to expand the 
supply of housing for the elderly in those areas that otherwise would 
be denied the benefit of such housing.
    In Appendix B, HUD corrects the Application Form needed to file 
your Section 202 application with HUD and replaces it with Form HUD-
92015-CA, Supportive Housing for the Elderly, Section 202, Application 
for Capital Advance Summary Information. (See page 14397) This 
correction is necessary because Form HUD-92016-CA, Section 811, 
Application for Capital Advance Summary Information, which was

[[Page 35556]]

inadvertently included in Appendix B of the Section 202 program NOFA, 
is not used in filing a Section 202 application.

Section 811  Supportive Housing for Persons With Disabilities [Page 
14421]

    In Section I (Application Due Date, Application Kits, Further 
Information, and Technical Assistance), HUD corrects the first 
paragraph to provide that all mailed applications must be postmarked on 
or before midnight of June 5, 2002 and received by HUD within 15 days 
of the due date. (See page 14423).
    Also in Section I, HUD is adding a paragraph 5 to state that 
``Applications for projects proposed to be located within the 
jurisdiction of the Grand Rapids, Michigan Office must be submitted to 
the Detroit, Michigan Office''. (See middle column, page 14423). 
APPENDIX A: Local HUD Offices in the section captioned Notes similarly 
is amended to reflect the addition of paragraph 5 and corrections to 
addresses and/or telephone numbers of several local HUD Offices (listed 
as paragraph 6 in APPENDIX A). (See page 14439).
    HUD amends the Fiscal Year 2002 Section 811 Allocations chart on 
page 14427 to add the following footnote to the Los Angeles Hub total 
(the footnote is indicated by an asterisk): ``This amount includes 
$518,500 in capital advance authority to fund Therapeutic Living 
Centers for the Blind of West Hills, California. Since this 6-unit 
project was not selected in FY 2001 due to HUD error, the application 
will be funded from the FY 2002 allocation to the Los Angeles Office.''
    The Note at the end of Section III(C) (Eligible Activities) is 
amended to clarify that existing Federally funded or assisted projects 
or projects insured or guaranteed by a Federal agency involving 
refinancing are not permissible activities under this Section 811 NOFA. 
This clarification is necessary because HUD does not consider it 
appropriate to utilize scarce program resources to refinance projects 
that have already received some form of assistance under a Federal 
program. For example, Section 202, Section 202/8, or 202/PAC direct 
loan projects cannot be refinanced with capital advances and project 
rental assistance. (See middle column, page 14428).
    Section V(C) on page 14431 is amended to add Renewal Communities 
(RC) to the other two federally designated areas appearing in the 
section. Identical amendments are made to Section V(D), first column, 
(see page 14432), Section V(D), Bonus Points, third column, (see page 
14433), and the Table of Contents in the Appendix to the NOFA (see page 
14446). The reference in Section V(C), V(D), and in the Table of 
Contents in the Appendix now reads RC/EC/EZ, making it consistent with 
the reference used in Section III(C)(1) of the General Section of the 
SuperNOFA. (See page 13839). The amendment clarifies that projects that 
are located in an RC/EZ/EC area are eligible to receive the two bonus 
points in the rating of their application.
    HUD amends paragraph (B)(7)(i) of Section VI (Application 
Submission Requirements) to correct the title of Form HUD-2990 to read 
Certification of Consistency with the RC/EZ/EC Strategic Plan (HUD-
2990). (See page 14438).
    Paragraph (B)(4)(c)(iv) in Section VI is amended to read ``Describe 
your plan for getting your project to initial closing and start of 
construction within the initial 18-month term of the fund reservation 
(optional).'' (See page 14435). The amendment makes it clear that HUD 
is not asking applicants to describe their plans to complete 
construction and finally close the project within the initial 18-month 
fund reservation term because HUD recognizes that such an event would 
be unlikely.
    Under Rating Factor 3 (Soundness of Approach), paragraph (f) is 
amended to read ``(-1 point) Your application did not include a plan 
for getting your project to initial closing and start of construction 
within the initial fund reservation period of 18-months.'' (See page 
14433). The amendment here is consistent with the change made to 
Section VI(B)(4)(c)(iv).
    Paragraph (B)(4)(d)(i)(A) (pertaining to HUD's site control 
requirements) of Section VI(Application Submission Requirements) is 
amended to require a lease with a term of 50 years with renewable 
provisions for 25 years in cases where the applicant submits an 
application with site control and the form of site control is a 
leasehold. HUD recognizes that in some areas, applicants are unable to 
obtain a lease on sites for an initial term of 75 years due to, for 
example, state, local or tribal laws prohibiting such long-term leases. 
This restriction has the effect of excluding such sites from the 
Section 811 program. HUD has determined to make the change to require 
50-year leases with renewable provisions for 25 years to expand the 
supply of housing for persons with disabilities in those areas that 
otherwise would be denied the benefit of such housing.
    Accordingly, in the Super Notice of Funding Availability 
(SuperNOFA) for HUD's Discretionary Grant Programs for Fiscal Year 2002 
[Docket No. FR-4723-N-01], beginning at 67 FR 13826, in the issue of 
Tuesday, March 26, 2002, the following corrections are made.
1. General Section of SuperNOFA, Beginning at 67 FR 13826
    Appendix A-1 List of HUD Field Offices beginning on page 13844 and 
continuing through page 13859 is removed and replaced with a corrected

    On page 13915, in the table under paragraph (J) (Factors for Award 
Used to Evaluate and Rate Applications), HUD makes the following 
corrections:
    (a) the number of points under Rating Factor 3, Subfactor (1) is 
corrected to read 14.
    (b) the number of points under Rating Factor 3, Subfactor (2) is 
corrected to read 5.
    (c) Under the heading ``Project Type'', for Rating Factor 2 the 
entry ``All Project Types'' is removed.

* The first number listed indicates the maximum number of points available to current ICDBG grantees under this
  sub-factor. The second number indicates the maximum number of points available to new applicants.

    On page 13916, under Rating Factor 2 (Need/Extent of the Problem), 
HUD adds the following language to the end of paragraph (2)--
    For documenting persons employed by the project, you do not need to 
submit a demographic data certification and corresponding 
documentation. However, you do need to submit information that 
describes the nature of the jobs created or retained. Such information 
includes but is not limited to proposed job descriptions, salaries and 
the number of full-time equivalent positions. If you believe jobs will 
be retained as a result of the ICDBG project, include information that 
shows clearly and objectively, that jobs will be lost without the ICDBG 
project. Jobs that are retained only for the period of the grant will 
not count under this Rating Factor.
    On page 13919, paragraph (C)(6) of Section VI (Application 
Submission Requirements) is removed.
    On page 13919, existing paragraphs (C)(7) and (C)(8) of Section VI 
(Application Submission Requirements) are renumbered (C)(6) and (C)(7), 
respectively.
3. Community Outreach Partnership Centers (COPC), Beginning at 67 FR 
13929
    On page 13929, Section I, HUD corrects the caption (the text of the 
paragraph remains unchanged) that reads ``Address for Submitting 
Applications'' to read ``Application Submission Procedures''.
    On page 13929 in Section I (Application Due Date, Application Kits, 
Further Information, and Technical Assistance), HUD adds a new section 
to follow the paragraph captioned ``Mailed Applications'' to read as 
follows:
    Address for Submitting Applications. Your completed application 
consists of one original and two copies of your application. Submit the 
original and two copies to the following address: Processing and 
Control Branch, Office of Community Planning and Development, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, 
Room 7251, Washington, DC, 20410. When submitting your application, 
please refer to the COPC program, and include your name, mailing 
address (including zip code) and telephone number (including area 
code).
    On page 13931, HUD amends Section IV(D) (Match) by adding a new 
sentence at the end of the section to read as follows:
    You should use HUD-30001 Community Outreach Partnership Centers 
Matching Requirements to show how you have met the match requirements.
    On page 13931, HUD amends Section IV(D)(1)(b) by removing the last 
two sentences in the second paragraph and adding new language in their 
place. As amended, the new paragraph now reads:
    (b) Outreach Activities. 35% of the total project costs of 
establishing and operating outreach activities.
    In previous competitions, some applicants incorrectly based their 
match calculations on the Federal grant amount, not on the total 
project costs. An example of how you should calculate match correctly, 
and Forms 30011 (New Directions) and 30012 (New Grants) are included in 
the Application Kit. The completed form should be included with your 
application.
    On page 13935, paragraph (C) (Application Checklist) of Section VI 
(Application Submission Requirements) is removed.
4. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), Beginning at 67 
FR 13951
    On page 13956, in paragraph (A)(3) of Section VI (Application 
Submission Requirements), HUD corrects the form number to read SF-424D, 
Assurances for Construction Programs.
5. Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) Program, 
Beginning at 67 FR 13971
    On page 13972, HUD amends Section III(B) (Eligible Applicants) by 
adding an introductory sentence to read as follows:
    ``Eligible applicants are public or private nonprofit institutions 
of higher education granting two- or four-year degrees and accredited 
by a national or regional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. 
Department of Education.'' With the addition of the sentence, paragraph 
(B) now reads as follows:
    (B) Eligible Applicants. Eligible applicants are public or private 
nonprofit institutions of higher education granting two- or four-year 
degrees and accredited by a national or regional accrediting agency 
recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Only if your 
institution is a nonprofit institution of higher education and meets 
the statutory definition of an HSI in Title V of the 1998 Amendments to 
the Higher Education Act of 1965 (Pub. L. 105-244) are you eligible to 
apply. In order for you to meet this definition, at least 25 percent of 
the full-time undergraduate students enrolled in your institution must 
be Hispanic and not less than 50 percent of these Hispanic students 
must be low-income individuals. You are not required to be on the list 
of eligible institutions prepared by the U.S. Department of Education. 
However, if you are not, you will be required to certify in the 
application that you meet the statutory definition. If you are one of 
several campuses of the same institution, you may apply separately from 
the other campuses as long as your campus has a separate administrative 
structure and budget from the other campuses. In addition, in order to 
fund as many different HSIs as possible, you can only apply if you did 
not receive an HSIAC grant in FY 2001. If you received an HSIAC grant 
in FY 2000, you may reapply as long as: (1) you propose an

[[Page 35562]]

entirely new project for a different activity; (2) you propose a 
different project director; and (3) you have drawn down at least 75% of 
your previous grant by the application due date.
6. Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Assisting Communities (AN/NHIAC) 
Program, Beginning at 67 FR 13983
    On page 13983, HUD amends the paragraph entitled ``Application 
Deadline'' in the Program Overview Section to read as follows:
    Application Deadline: July 20, 2002.
    On page 13983, HUD amends Section I, second column, last paragraph, 
second sentence, to read as follows: ``For ANIs, HUD only will accept 
one application per campus. Similarly, for NHIs HUD will only accept 
one application per campus.'' HUD also removes the balance of this 
paragraph.
    On page 13984, HUD amends Section III(B) by adding a new 
introductory sentence to read as follows: ``Eligible applicants are 
public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education granting 
two- or four-year degrees and accredited by a national or regional 
accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.'' 
Also, HUD corrects the first sentence in the second paragraph of 
Section III(B) to read as follows: ``If you are an NHI and your 
institution has multiple campuses, each one is eligible to apply 
separately, as long as it meets the above-described enrollment 
threshold. You may undertake as many projects and activities as you 
want, as long as you do not exceed the $600,000 cap for an 
application.''
    As amended, Section III(B) now reads as follows:
    (B) Eligible Applicants. Eligible applicants are public or private 
nonprofit institutions of higher education granting two- or four-year 
degrees and accredited by a national or regional accrediting agency 
recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Only if your 
institution is a nonprofit institution of higher education and meets 
the statutory definition of either an Alaska Native institution of 
higher education or a Native Hawaiian institution of higher education, 
as contained in Title III, Part A, Section 317 of the Higher Education 
Act of 1965, as amended by the Higher Education Amendments of 1998 
(Pub. L. 105-244) are you eligible to apply. If you are an Alaska 
Native institution of higher education, in order for you to meet this 
definition, at least 20 percent of your undergraduate headcount 
enrollment must be Alaska Native students. If you are a Native Hawaiian 
institution of higher education, in order to meet this definition at 
least 10 percent of your undergraduate headcount enrollment must be 
Native Hawaiian students. You are not required to be on a list of 
eligible AN/NHIs prepared by the U.S. Department of Education. However, 
if you are not, you will be required to certify in the application that 
you meet the statutory definition. If you are an ANI and received a 
grant in FY 2001, you are not eligible to submit an application in FY 
2002. If you are an NHI and received a grant in FY 2001, you are not 
permitted to submit an application for the same specific project in a 
different neighborhood, another project in the same neighborhood, or 
another project with the same project director as the project funded in 
FY 2001.
    If you are an NHI and your institution has multiple campuses, each 
one is eligible to apply separately, as long as it meets the above-
described enrollment threshold. You may undertake as many projects and 
activities as you want, as long as you do not exceed the $600,000 cap 
for an application.
7. Tribal Colleges and Universities Program, Beginning at 67 FR 13995
    On page 13995, HUD amends Section III(B) by adding a new 
introductory sentence to read as follows:
    ``Eligible applicants are public or private nonprofit institutions 
of higher education granting two- or four-year degrees and accredited 
by a national or regional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. 
Department of Education.'' As amended, Section III(B) now reads as 
follows:
    (B) Eligible Applicants. Eligible applicants are public or private 
nonprofit institutions of higher education granting two- or four-year 
degrees and accredited by a national or regional accrediting agency 
recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Only if your 
institution is a nonprofit institution of higher education and meets 
the statutory definition of a TCU in Title III of the 1998 Amendments 
to the Higher Education Act of 1965 (Pub. L. 105-244) are you eligible 
to apply. If you are one of several campuses of the same institution, 
you may apply separately from the other campuses as long as your campus 
has a separate administrative structure and budget from the other 
campuses.
    On page 13999, in paragraph (E)(3) of Section V (Application 
Submission Requirements), HUD corrects the number of factors for award 
to read five, instead of four. As amended, paragraph (E)(3) now reads 
as follows:
    (3) Your narrative statement addressing the factors for award 
should address each of the five factors for award. (Please note that 
although submitting pages in excess of the page limit will not 
disqualify your application, HUD will not consider the information on 
any excess pages, which may result in a lower score or failure to meet 
a threshold.)
    In addressing Factor 4, for each leveraging source, cash or in-
kind, you must submit a letter, dated no earlier than the date of this 
NOFA, from the provider on the provider's letterhead that addresses the 
following:
8. Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program, Beginning at 67 FR 
14067
    On page 14070, HUD amends Section IV(B) (Period of Performance) to 
add a sentence at the end of paragraph (B) to read as follows: HUD 
reserves the right to approve no-cost time extensions based upon the 
submission of adequate justification by the grantee. As amended, 
paragraph (B) now reads:
    (B) Period of Performance. The period of performance is 36 months 
for first-time grant recipients. The period of performance for current 
and prior grantees is 30 months, except grantees receiving an award 
under a ``Request for Renewal,'' for which there is a 24-month period 
of performance. HUD reserves the right to approve no-cost time 
extensions for a period of up to 36 months based upon the submission of 
adequate justification by the grantee.
    On page 14074, HUD amends paragraph (c)(ii) under Rating Factor 3 
(Soundness of Approach) to correct the unit of measurement to read 
g with respect to the standard for testing lead in dust. The 
corrected paragraph (c)(ii) now reads:
    (ii) Describe your testing methods, schedule, and costs for 
performing blood lead testing, risk assessments, inspections and 
clearance examinations to be used. If you propose to use a more 
restrictive standard than the HUD/EPA thresholds (e.g., less than 0.5% 
or 1.0 mg/ square centimeter for lead in paint, or less than 40, 250, 
400 g/square foot for lead in dust on floors, sills and 
troughs respectively); or 400 ppm in bare soil in children's play areas 
and 1200 ppm for bare soil in the rest of the yard), identify the 
standard(s) that will be used. All testing shall be performed in 
accordance with applicable regulations.
9. Healthy Homes and Lead Technical Studies, Beginning at 67 FR 14093
    On page 14096, HUD amends paragraph (E) (Period of Performance) of 
Section IV by removing the existing language and substituting new 
language.

[[Page 35563]]

As amended, Section IV(E) now reads as follows:
    (E) Period of Performance. The period of performance is 36 months. 
HUD reserves the right to approve no-cost time extensions for up to an 
additional 3 years based upon the submission of adequate justification 
by the grantee.
    On page 14096, HUD amends Section V(A) (Submitting Applications for 
Grants) to remove the parenthetical phrase--``(e.g., 12 to 24 months 
from the date of award)''. (The parenthetical phrase appears in the 
fourth paragraph in Section V(A). As amended, Section (V)(A) now reads:
    (A) Submitting Applications for Grants. Applications that meet all 
of the threshold requirements will be eligible to be scored and ranked, 
based on the total number of points allocated for each of the rating 
factors described below in Section V(B) of this program section of the 
SuperNOFA. Your application must receive a total score of at least 70 
points to remain in consideration for funding.
    Awards will be made separately in rank order for Healthy Homes 
Technical Studies applications and Lead Technical Studies applications, 
within the limits of funding availability for each program.
    Within each of the two technical studies programs, you may address 
more than one of the technical study topic areas within your proposal 
(e.g., a HH technical studies applicant can address multiple topics 
consistent with the HHI program objectives), or submit separate 
applications for different topic areas. Projects need not address all 
of the objectives within a given topic area. While you will not be 
penalized for not addressing all of the specific objectives for a given 
topic area, if two applications for technical study in a given topic 
have equal scores, HUD will select the applicant whose project 
addresses the most objectives.
    Regarding the amount to be awarded to the selected applicants, 
please refer to the Negotiations section in the General Section of the 
SuperNOFA.
    Grants will be awarded in amounts ranging in size from $250,000 to 
$1 million. Final dollar amounts will be negotiated based upon the 
initial application submission, elimination of duplicative programs or 
activities based upon previously funded awards or selected applicants 
and ineligible activities.

HUD reserves the right to approve no-cost time extensions for up to an 
additional 3 years based upon the submission of adequate justification 
by the grantee.
11. Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI), Beginning at 67 
FR 14137
    HUD amends paragraph (G)(4) of Section VI (Application Submission 
Requirements) on page 14147, first column, to add the requirement that 
Form HUD 40122, Section 8 Loan Guarantee, State Certifications Related 
to Nonentitlement Entities be submitted to HUD as part of the BEDI 
application package, along with the requirement to submit Form HUD-
40076-EDI/BEDI, Rating Factor 4: Leveraging Resources/Financial Need

units for the maximum grant amount.
    On page 14208, HUD amends paragraph (C)(3)(e) of Section II to read

in their housing inventory as of September 30, 2001 for either family 
or elderly/disabled units.

as follows:
    (i) This funding category provides grants for a targeted group of 
public housing residents who were beneficiaries of previously awarded

funded through operating subsidy. This funding category recognizes the 
improved earning capacity of residents participating in self-
sufficiency programs and provides the support necessary to achieve 
increased opportunities for homeownership for public housing residents 
through housing choice vouchers. Under this funding category, PHAs will 
receive grants for counseling and other supportive services to achieve 
homeownership for public housing residents. PHAs will design and 
develop homeownership supportive services for public housing residents. 
These supportive services shall comprehensively address the needs 
identified by the PHA for public housing families to obtain 
homeownership.
    On page 14209, HUD amends paragraph (ii) of Section II(C)(5) to 
read as follows:
    (ii) To update and expand existing technology centers, PHAs must 
use the number of occupied conventional family public housing units to 
determine the maximum grant amount in accordance with the categories 
listed below for families:

--For PHAs with 1 to 780 occupied family units, the maximum grant award 
is $50,000.
--For PHAs with 781 to 7,300 occupied family units, the maximum grant 
award is $100,000.

two applications for RMBD and RSDM, but not more than one application 
in any one funding category. Nonprofit applicants may submit a total of 
two applications for CB and RSDM, but not more than one application in 
any one funding category under this ROSS competition. A PHA, RA, RO, or 
nonprofit may not submit an application to serve the same development. 
Please read each funding category carefully for additional limitations.

as follows:
    (D) Capacity Building.
    (1) Eligible applicants. (a) Intermediary Resident Organizations 
(IROs) and tribes/TDHEs on behalf of public or Indian housing

Organizations, Statewide Resident Organizations, Regional Resident 
Organizations, City-Wide Resident Organizations, and Jurisdiction-Wide 
Resident Organizations.
    On page 14215, HUD amends paragraphs (F)(1) and (F)(2)(a) of 
Section III(F) to read as follows:
    (1) Eligible Applicants. This funding category provides grants to 
PHAs for homeownership supportive services for public housing residents

funded from the operating fund.
    On page 14221, HUD amends paragraph (2) of Section V(D) to read as 
follows:
    (2) Factors for Award Used to Evaluate and Rate HSS Applications. 
The factors for rating and ranking applicants and maximum points for 
each factor are provided below. The maximum number of points available 
for this program is 102. This includes two RC/EZ/EC bonus points, as 
described in the General Section of the SuperNOFA. The application kit 
contains a certification that must be completed for the applicant to be 
considered for RC/EZ/EC bonus points and a listing of federally 
designated RCs, EZs and ECs. In addition, a list of RCs, EZs, and ECs 
is attached to the General Section of the SuperNOFA as Appendix A-2 and 
is also available from the SuperNOFA Information Center, and the HUD 
web site, www.hud.gov. A HSS application must receive a total of 70 
points out of 100 to be eligible for funding.

14. Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs, Beginning at 67 FR 
14363
    On page 14364, HUD corrects the final paragraph in Section II 
(Amount Allocated) to read as follows:
    Under the FY 2002 HUD Appropriations Act, eligible Shelter Plus 
Care Program grants whose terms are expiring in calendar year 2003 and 
Shelter Plus Care Program grants that have been extended beyond their 
original five-year terms but which are projected to run out of funds in 
calendar year 2003 will be renewed for one year provided that they are 
determined to be needed by the Continuum of Care as evidenced by their 
inclusion on the priority chart. These projects must also meet the 
applicant and sponsor eligibility and capacity requirements described 
in Section V(A)(1) of this NOFA. However, these S+C renewal projects 
will not count against a continuum's pro rata need amount. On the other 
hand, no S+C renewal adjustment will be made to a Continuum of Care's 
pro rata need amount since these projects are being funded outside of 
the competition. Please be advised that Shelter Plus Care renewal 
applications which are not submitted as part of either a 
``consolidated'' or ``associated'' Continuum of Care application will 
not be considered as eligible for funding. (See Section VI for a 
description of the three options for submitting applications.)
    On page 14365, HUD corrects the first paragraph of Section 
III(A)(3) (Project Renewals) to read as follows:
    (3) Project renewals. If your Supportive Housing or Shelter Plus 
Care grant will be expiring in calendar year 2003, or if your Shelter 
Plus Care Program grant has been extended beyond its original five-year 
term and is projected to run out of funds in calendar year 2003, you 
must apply under this Continuum of Care program section of the 
SuperNOFA to get continued funding.

Application Kits, Further Information, and Technical Assistance) to 
read as follows:
    Application Due Date. All mailed applications must be postmarked on 
or before midnight, local time, on June 5, 2002, and received by HUD 
within 15 days of the due date.
    On page 14377, HUD amends Section I to add a new paragraph 5 under 
Address for Submitting Applications to read as follows:
    5. Applications for projects proposed to be located within the 
jurisdiction of the Grand Rapids, Michigan Office must be submitted to 
the Detroit, Michigan Office.
    On page 14383, middle column, the Note at the end of paragraph 
III(D) is amended to read as follows:

    Note: You may propose to rehabilitate an existing currently 
owned or leased structure that may or may not already serve elderly 
persons, except that the refinancing of any Federally funded or 
assisted project or project insured or guaranteed by a Federal 
agency is not permissible under this Section 202 NOFA. HUD does not 
consider it appropriate to utilize scarce program resources to 
refinance projects that have already received some form of 
assistance under a Federal program. For example, Section 202 or 
Section 202/8 direct loan projects cannot be refinanced with capital 
advances and project rental assistance.

    On page 14385, HUD amends the first paragraph of Section V(C) 
(Ranking and Selection Procedures) and Section V(D) (Factors for Award 
Used to Evaluate and Rate Applications) on pages 14386 and 14387 to

response to the advertised metropolitan allocations or nonmetropolitan 
allocations that have a total base score (without the addition of RC/
EZ/EC bonus points) of 70 points or more and meet all of the applicable 
threshold requirements of Section II(B) of the General Section of the 
SuperNOFA will be eligible for selection, and HUD will place them in 
rank order per metropolitan or nonmetropolitan allocation. These 
applications, after adding any bonus points for RC/EZ/EC, will be 
selected based on rank order, up to and including the last application 
that can be funded out of each HUD office's metropolitan or 
nonmetropolitan allocation. HUD Offices must not skip over any 
applications in order to select one based on the funds remaining. After 
making the initial selections in each allocation area, however, HUD may 
use any residual funds to select the next rank-ordered application by 
reducing the number of units by no more than 10 percent, rounded to the 
nearest whole number, provided the reduction will not render the 
project infeasible. For this purpose, however, HUD will not reduce the 
number of units in projects of five units or less.
    (D) Factors For Award Used To Evaluate and Rate Applications. HUD 
will rate applications that successfully complete technical processing 
using the Rating Factors set forth below and in accordance with the

VI of this program section of the SuperNOFA.
    On page 14389, HUD amends paragraph (B)(4)(c)(iv) of Section VI 
(Application Submission Requirements) to read as follows:

closing and start of construction within the initial 18-month term of 
the fund reservation (optional).
    On page 14389, paragraph (4)(d)(i)(A) of Section VI(B), is amended 
to read as follows:
    (A) Deed or long-term leasehold which evidences that you have title 
to or a leasehold interest in the site. If a leasehold, the term of the 
lease must be at least 50 years with renewable provisions for 25 years.
    On page 14391, HUD corrects paragraph (7)(i) of Section VI(B) to 
read as follows:
    (7)(i) Certification of Consistency with the RC/EZ/EC Strategic 
Plan (HUD-2990). A certification that the project is consistent with 
the RC/EZ/EC strategic plan, is located within the RC/EZ/EC, and serves

of the Table of Contents to read: ``(i) Certification of Consistency 
with the RC/EZ/EC Strategic Plan (HUD-2990)''.
    On page 14397, Appendix B, HUD replaces the Application for Capital 
Advance Summary Information form with Form HUD-92015-CA, Supportive 
Housing for the Elderly, Section 202, Application for Capital Advance 
Summary Information.

Beginning at 67 FR 14423
    On page 14423, HUD amends the first paragraph under the heading

footnote to read as follows:

    * This amount includes $518,500 in capital advance authority to 
fund Therapeutic Living Centers for the Blind of West Hills, 
California. Since this 6-unit project was not selected in FY 2001 
due to HUD error, the application will be funded from the FY 2002 
allocation to the Los Angeles Office.

    On page 14428, middle column, the Note at the end of Section III(C) 
is amended to read as follows:

    Note: You may propose to rehabilitate an existing currently

does not consider it appropriate to utilize scarce program resources 
to refinance projects that have already received some form of 
assistance under a Federal program. (For example, Section 202, 
Section 202/8 or Section 202/PAC direct loan projects cannot be 
refinanced with capital advances and project rental assistance.)

    On page 14431, HUD amends the first paragraph of Section V(C) 
(Ranking and Selection Procedures) and Section V(D) Factors for Award 
Used To Evaluate and Rate Applications to read as follows:

total base score of 70 points or more (without the addition of RC/EZ/EC 
bonus points) and meet all of the applicable threshold requirements of

for selection and will be placed in rank order. HUD will select 
applications, after adding any bonus points for RC/EZ/EC, based on rank 
order, up to and including the last application that can be funded out 
of each HUD Office's allocation. HUD Offices must not skip over any 
applications in order to select one based on the funds remaining. After

to select the next rank-ordered application by reducing the number of 
units by no more than 10 percent rounded to the nearest whole number, 
provided the reduction will not render the project infeasible. For this 
purpose, however, HUD will not reduce the number of units in projects 
of five units or less.
    (D) Factors For Award Used To Evaluate and Rate Applications. HUD 
will rate applications that successfully complete technical processing 
using the Rating Factors set forth below and in accordance with the 
application submission requirements in Section VI(B) below. The maximum 
number of points an application may receive under this program is 102. 
This includes two (2) EZ/EC/RC bonus points, as described in the 
General Section of this SuperNOFA.
