AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity, HUD.

ACTION: Notice: Update of Web site reference.

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

SUMMARY: This notice updates an obsolete Web site reference that was 
included in HUD's final ``Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance 
Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin 
Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons,'' as 
required by Executive Order (EO) 13166, published in the Federal 
Register on January 22, 2007, and which became effective on March 7, 
2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pamela D. Walsh, Director, Program 
Standards and Compliance Division, Office of Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 22, 2007, HUD published in the 
Federal Register (72 FR 2732) final guidance to help recipients of 
federal financial assistance take reasonable steps to meet their 
regulatory and statutory obligations to ensure that LEP persons have 
meaningful access to HUD programs and activities (LEP Final Guidance). 
Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) and its 
implementing regulations, recipients of federal financial assistance 
have a responsibility to ensure meaningful access to programs and 
activities by LEP persons.
    In the preamble to the Final Guidance, which provided responses to 
public comments received on the proposed guidance, HUD provided the Web 
site to demographic information based on 2000 Census or other data (see 
page 2736, third column and continuing on page 2737, first column). 
Since publication of the Final Guidance, HUD has been advised that the 
Web site provided in the Final Guidance is no longer active. This 
notice provides the updated Web site. The demographic information based 
on 2000 Census or other data can be found at the following Web site: 
http://www.census.gov/cac/www/007578.html.
    In addition to this correction, on February 14, 2007, the Office of 
the Federal Register (OFR) published in the Federal Register a 
correction to HUD's Final Guidance that corrected a printing error made 
by the OFR in publishing HUD's Final Guidance on January 22, 2007 (See 
72 FR 7134.) On February 16, 2007, HUD published a notice that moved 
the effective of the Final Guidance from February 21, 2007, to March 7, 
2007.
    HUD's Final Guidance, which incorporates these corrections, can be 
found at: http://www.hud.gov/offices/fheo/promotingfh/lep.cfm.

    Dated: March 7, 2007.
Kim Kendrick,
Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.
