Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) Inviting Applications for the 
Rural Community Development Initiative (RCDI); Correction

AGENCY: Rural Housing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Rural Housing Service (RHS) is correcting a notice 
published July 30, 2003 (68 FR 44729-44738). This action is taken to 
correct the contents of the application package requiring that 
applicants submit a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System 
(DUNS) number. This amendment is required by an Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) policy directive issued in the Federal Register on 
June 27, 2003 (68 FR 38402). The policy directive requires all grant 
applicants to provide a DUNS number when applying for Federal grants or 
cooperative agreements on or after October 1, 2003. This correction 
provides instructions to grant applicants on how to obtain the DUNS 
number.
    Accordingly, the notice published on July 30, 2003 (68 FR 44729-
44738), is corrected as follows:
    On page 44731 in the third column under the heading ``Contents of 
Application Package,'' Number 1 should read: ``1. A summary page, 
double spaced between items, listing the following: (This information 
should not be presented in narrative form.)
    a. Applicant's name,
    b. Applicant's address,
    c. Applicant's telephone number,
    d. Name of applicant's contact person and telephone number,
    e. Applicant's fax number,
    f. County where applicant is located,
    g. Congressional district number where applicant is located,
    h. Amount of grant request,
    i. Applicant's Tax Identification Number,
    j. Number of recipients,
    k. Source and amount of matching funds, and
    l. Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number--Applicants should 
verify that they have a DUNS number or take the steps needed to obtain 
one. A DUNS number can be obtained at no cost by calling the dedicated 
toll-free DUNS number request line at 1-866-705-5711.''
    On page 44735 in the second column under the heading ``Grantee 
Requirements,'' add a new Number 11 to read:
    ``11. Provide the applicant's Data Universal Numbering System 
(DUNS) number obtained from Dun and Bradstreet. The DUNS number can be 
obtained by the applicant at no cost by calling the dedicated toll-free 
DUNS number request line at 1-866-705-5711.''

    Dated: September 17, 2003.
