SUMMARY: On January 20, 2006, HUD published its Fiscal Year (FY) 2006, 
Notice of Funding Availability Policy Requirements and General Section 
(General Section) to the SuperNOFA for HUD's Discretionary Programs. On 
March 8, 2006, HUD published its Fiscal Year (FY) 2006, SuperNOFA, for 
HUD's Discretionary Grant Programs. Included in the 2006 SuperNOFA 
Programs is the Lead Outreach Program. This Notice provides additional 
information on areas in which technical assistance services are 
potentially needed. It was developed in response to a question asked 
during the SuperNOFA broadcast for the FY 2006 Lead Outreach NOFA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 4, 2006, HUD held its SuperNOFA 
broadcast for the Lead Outreach Notice of Funding Availability. A 
question was asked in regard to page 11848, section II, Terms of Award, 
third column, on the number of lead grantees in each geographic area 
and the estimated number of lead grantees requiring technical 
assistance in each geographic area. This table is posted to HUD's Web 
site at http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/nofa06/grplead.cfm. The 
table provides applicants for the Technical Assistance activity 
category of the FY 2006 Lead Outreach NOFA with the number of current 
lead grantees by area and the estimated number of grantees that a 
technical assistance provider may be asked to service. In summary, in 
the Eastern United States (HUD Regions I, II, III and IV), there are 
currently 105 lead grantees, of which 22 may need technical assistance; 
in the Central United States and Midwest (HUD Regions V, VI, VII and 
VIII), there are currently 84 lead grantees, of which 5 may need 
technical assistance; in the Western United States (HUD Regions IX and 
X), there are currently 34 lead grantees, of which 6 may need technical 
assistance. Nationwide, there are currently 223 lead grantees, of which 
33 may need technical assistance.
