Fiscal Year 2007 SuperNOFA for HUD's Discretionary Programs; 
Supplementary Information and Technical Corrections

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of Supplementary Information and Technical Corrections 
to Fiscal Year 2007 SuperNOFA for HUD's Discretionary Programs.

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

SUMMARY: On January 18, 2007, HUD published its Notice of HUD's Fiscal 
Year (FY) 2007 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) Policy 
Requirements and General Section to the FY 2007 SuperNOFA for HUD's 
Discretionary Programs (General Section). On March 13, 2007, HUD 
published its FY 2007 SuperNOFA for HUD's Discretionary Programs (FY 
2007 SuperNOFA). In this notice published in today's Federal Register, 
HUD announces that it has posted corrected materials to Grants.gov, 
extends deadline dates for submission of applications, and clarifies 
requirements for submitting faxed documents. HUD is also providing 
supplemental information for and making technical corrections to the 
General Section and several individual program NOFAs.
    HUD has found that the Logic Models posted to Grants.gov included 
an error in the instructions and programming errors that could lead 
applicants to submit deficient or less competitive applications. HUD is 
posting corrected Logic Models to Grants.gov. Applicants who have 
signed up for the Grants.gov notification services will be 
automatically notified when the corrected Logic Models and these 
technical corrections are posted to Grants.gov. Applicants that have 
not signed up for the notification services should check the Grants.gov 
Web site for the modification to the announcement posting following 
publication of this Notice. In order to give applicants the opportunity 
and time to submit or resubmit their applications with the corrected 
Logic Models, HUD is reopening competition for program NOFAs whose 
deadline dates have already passed and extending the deadline dates for 
all NOFAs. Applicants that wish to resubmit their applications must 
submit an entire, complete application. Applicants that submit more 
than one electronic copy of the same application must resubmit all 
faxed documents after receipt and validation by Grants.gov of each 
revised application. This will ensure that the faxes are associated 
with the revised application.
    Finally, this document provides supplementary information for and 
makes corrections to the General Section and the individual NOFAs for 
the following programs, which were included in the FY 2007 SuperNOFA: 
Community Development Technical Assistance Programs (CD-TA), Lead-Based 
Paint Hazard Control Grant Program, Lead Hazard Reduction Grant 
Program, Operation Lead Elimination Action Program, Technical Studies 
Programs (Lead Technical Studies and Healthy Homes Technical Studies), 
Lead Outreach Program, Healthy Homes Demonstration Grants Program, 
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program 
Coordinators, Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS)--
Elderly/Persons with Disabilities, ROSS--Family-Homeownership, Self-
Help Homeownership Opportunity Program, Housing Opportunities for 
Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), Section 202 Supportive Housing for the 
Elderly Program, Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with 
Disabilities Program, Early Doctoral Student Research Program, and 
Doctoral Dissertation Research Grant Program. Applicants who have 
submitted their applications prior to this publication should resubmit 
a complete, updated application that reflects any applicable 
corrections and clarifications, along with the corrected Logic Model 
described below in section II. The last application received and 
validated by Grants.gov by the deadline date will be the application 
that is reviewed, rated, and ranked.
    The supplementary information and technical corrections in this 
notice are reflected in the instruction packages but do not affect the 
application packages on Grants.gov.

DATES: The application deadline dates for the all program NOFAs are 
extended to the dates provided in Appendix A of this notice published 
in today's Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions regarding the General 
Section of the SuperNOFA published January 18, 2007, should be directed 
to the Office of Departmental Grants Management and Oversight, Office 
of Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street, SW., Room 3156, Washington, DC 20410-5000; telephone 
number (202) 708-0667. Persons with hearing or speech impairments may 
access this number via TTY by calling the Federal Information Relay 
Service at (800) 877-8339. For the programs listed in this notice, 
please contact the office or individual listed under Section VII of the 
individual program sections of the SuperNOFA, published on March 13, 
2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    On January 18, 2007 (72 FR 2396), HUD published the General Section 
in advance of the FY 2007 SuperNOFA to provide prospective applicants 
additional time to become familiar with and address provisions that 
apply to almost every application. On March 13, 2007 (72 FR 11434), HUD 
published the FY 2007 SuperNOFA, which announced the availability of 
approximately $2 billion in HUD assistance. In this notice published in 
today's Federal Register, HUD announces that it has posted corrected 
materials to Grants.gov, extends deadline dates for submission of 
applications, and clarifies requirements for submitting faxed 
documents. HUD is also providing supplemental information for and 
making technical corrections to the General Section and several 
individual program NOFAs.

II. Submission or Resubmission of Applications With Corrected Logic 
Model

    HUD has found that the Logic Models posted to Grants.gov included 
an error in the instructions regarding the references to the Standard 
Form (SF) 424 Box 8a (Applicant Legal Name) and Box 15 (Descriptive 
Title of Applicant's Project). The Logic Models also had some 
programming errors which caused the drop down menus to operate 
improperly. In addition, the Lead Outreach Grant Program (LOGP) Logic 
Model was corrected to delete references to technical assistance 
activities which are no longer eligible activities under the 2007 LOGP 
NOFA. Finally, the Continuum of Care, Housing Choice Voucher Family 
Self Sufficiency, and Public Housing Family Self Sufficiency Logic 
Models have been updated to include an additional management question. 
HUD is posting corrected Logic Models to the Grants.gov instructions 
download for all 2007 NOFAs. For Continuum of Care applicants, the 
revised Logic Model will be posted to HUD's funding available page at 
http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/nofa07/grpcoc.cfr. All applicants 
should use the corrected version of each program Logic Model. For 
applicants filing electronically, when resubmitting your revised 
application, please use the same application and facsimile transmittal

[[Page 27033]]

cover page that you used to submit your original application. Continuum 
of Care applicants should resubmit their revised application in paper 
format following the NOFA instructions. HUD recommends that any 
applicants that already submitted an application resubmit a revised 
application using the corrected version of the program Logic Model. HUD 
will rate and rank the latest version of each application submitted. 
Applicants who fail to submit a revised application and use the 
incorrect version of the Logic Model might inadvertently select 
ineligible or less desirable options and be rated less favorably as a 
result.

III. Reopening of NOFAS and Extensions of Deadline Dates

    To provide applicants the opportunity and time to submit or 
resubmit their complete applications with the corrected Logic Models, 
HUD is reopening competition for program NOFAs whose deadline dates 
have passed and extending the deadline dates for all other NOFAs. 
Applicants may submit applications for NOFAs to meet the new extended 
deadline dates, whether or not they submitted an application prior to 
today's notice. The new deadline dates are provided in Appendix A to 
this notice published in today's Federal Register. The new deadline 
dates are also reflected in the technical corrections to individual 
program NOFAs below. In the event of a discrepancy between a deadline 
date in Appendix A to this notice and the deadline date in the 
individual program NOFAs after the amendments made below, the deadline 
date in Appendix A to this notice prevails.

IV. Faxing Documents to HUD

    Applicants submitting an application in response to this notice 
must follow the instructions for submitting faxed documents in the 
General Section. HUD will only accept complete applications. Subsequent 
submissions of the same application must comply with the following, 
additional instructions. Submissions must include all faxes. Faxes must 
be submitted following validation of each revised application by 
Grants.gov to ensure faxes are matched to the latest application 
submission.
    In addition, HUD is taking the opportunity in this technical 
correction to clarify its policy for applicants to follow when 
submitting technical cures to an application submission following HUD 
review and request for a technical cure to an application submission. 
For electronic application submitters only, HUD will be requesting that 
technical cures be submitted using the fax transmittal form and faxed 
to the facsimile solution number used when submitting faxes with your 
application submission. This policy ensures that a complete 
application, including any technical cures requested by HUD staff 
during the review and evaluation process, will be available in 
electronic format in HUD's grants system. Beginning in FY 2007 with 
funding announcements, it is HUD's intent to make available the highest 
rated application available for public view on HUD's Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA) Web site. Therefore, applicants submitting 
technical cures requested by HUD staff should submit the material using 
the same form HUD-96011 cover sheet used to submit faxes with your 
application submission. The material should be sent using the facsimile 
solution fax numbers found in the General Section. Prior to placing an 
application on the FOIA Web site, HUD will conduct a privacy review and 
redact private information. However, if applicants submit applications 
with proprietary information they should note the information is 
proprietary in their application submission.

V. Supplemental Information and Technical Corrections

    This notice also provides supplemental information and makes 
technical corrections to the General Section and to the individual 
NOFAs for the following programs, which were included in the FY 2007 
SuperNOFA: Community Development Technical Assistance Programs (CD-TA), 
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program, Lead Hazard Reduction 
Grant Program, Operation Lead Elimination Action Program, Technical 
Studies Programs (Lead Technical Studies and Healthy Homes Technical 
Studies), Lead Outreach Program, Healthy Homes Demonstration Grants 
Program, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) 
Program Coordinators, Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency 
(ROSS)--Elderly/Persons with Disabilities, ROSS-Family-Homeownership, 
Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program, Housing Opportunities for 
Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), Section 202 Supportive Housing for the 
Elderly Program, Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with 
Disabilities Program, Early Doctoral Student Research Program, and 
Doctoral Dissertation Research Grant Program.
    Summaries of the technical corrections made by this document are 
provided below. The Federal Register page number shown in brackets 
identifies where the individual funding availability announcement that 
is being corrected can be found either in the January 18, 2007, General 
Section or the March 13, 2007, SuperNOFA. The technical corrections 
described in today's Federal Register are also reflected in the updated 
application instructions download for the funding opportunity located 
on Grants.gov. HUD recommends that applicants who have submitted their 
applications prior to this publication should resubmit an entire, 
complete, revised application that reflects any applicable corrections 
and clarifications, along with the corrected Logic Model described 
above in section II. The last application received and validated by 
Grants.gov by the deadline date will be the application that is 
reviewed, rated, and ranked. For Continuum of Care applicants, HUD will 
review the last complete paper application received in accordance with 
the Continuum of Care NOFA instructions.

A. General Section [2396]

    On page 2409, section V.A.1.b., first column, HUD is adding the 
instruction that when responding to Rating Factor 1, Capacity, 
applicants should not include social security numbers on any resumes 
submitted to HUD.
    On page 2416, section VIII.F., second column, HUD is adding a new 
section VIII.F.3. describing the statutory limitation on the use of HUD 
grant funds to support projects that seek to use the power of eminent 
domain. Congress made the limitation applicable to funds under the FY 
2007 SuperNOFA after HUD published the General Section. Recipients may 
use HUD funds to seek a government's use of its power to take property 
only if the power is employed for public use. Economic development that 
primarily benefits private entities is not considered a public use. 
However, transportation and utility projects that serve the general 
public, as well as projects that remove threats to public health and 
safety or clean up brownfields, are considered examples of public use.
    On page 2416, section VIII., third column, HUD is adding a new 
section VIII.I., which summarizes guidance from the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) that applies to the cost sharing and 
matching requirements in the FY 2007 SuperNOFA. This section notes the 
importance of complying with applicable OMB circulars, particularly 
with respect to funds used or proposed to be used to satisfy cost 
sharing or matching requirements. OMB Circulars A-102 (as implemented 
by 24 CFR part 85), A-110 (as implemented by 24 CFR

[[Page 27034]]

part 84), A-87, and A-122 set forth administrative standards and cost 
principles, including requirements that apply to cost sharing and 
matching, organized according to the status of the entity receiving a 
grant or cooperative agreement.

B. Community Development Technical Assistance (CD-TA) Program NOFA 
[11449]

    HUD is amending the CD-TA program to implement two revisions. The 
first revision will assist applicants to distinguish between TA 
priorities for applicants who submit an application for a national 
homeless TA program and applicants that submit an application for a 
local (i.e., within the jurisdiction of a HUD field office) homeless TA 
program.
    HUD inadvertently omitted from the CD-TA NOFA language that 
referenced priorities to be carried out by TA providers that work on 
the local level within the jurisdiction of specific HUD field offices. 
Without guidance for applicants on the local level, homeless TA 
applicants, regardless of whether they apply for national TA or local 
TA in the field offices, would be required to submit applications 
focused on Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) activities.
    With the revisions presented in this notice, applicants must, in 
response to Rating Factors 2 through 5, discuss the specific TA 
activities that will be carried out during the term of the grant. These 
activities need to relate to the eligible activities listed in Section 
III.C. of the CD-TA program NOFA. Because the NOFA, as published on 
March 13, 2007, inadvertently requires applicants for local TA to 
relate activities to the national HMIS priorities, HUD is clarifying 
the local TA priorities in this notice.
    The second revision implemented by this notice clarifies the HOME 
TA funds that are available under the CD-TA NOFA. In the NOFA, HUD 
inadvertently stated that a single applicant organization is limited to 
20 percent of the $18,000,000 made available for HOME and CHDO TA in FY 
2007. However, by statute, this amount is limited to amounts that are 
appropriated and does not include other available funds. As a result, 
HUD is revising the CD-TA NOFA to state that a single applicant 
organization is limited to 20 percent of the $9.9 million appropriated 
in FY 2007.
    This amendment contains information that applicants for local 
homeless TA and HOME TA need to complete adequately their applications. 
Those applicants who have already submitted an application are 
encouraged to review this notice and resubmit a revised application.
    These corrections are reflected in the instructions found on 
Grants.gov. Applicants must download the instructions to receive all 
forms and instructions related to this NOFA. Applicants are encouraged 
to read the instructions on Grants.gov prior to submitting their 
applications.

C. Indian Community Development Block Grant Program for Indian Tribes 
and Alaska Native Villages [11449]

    On page 11456, section IV.C.1., first column, HUD is deleting a 
sentence describing submission requirements for applicants that are 
granted a waiver of electronic submission requirements. Any such 
applicants will receive submission requirements once a waiver is 
granted.
    This correction is reflected in the instructions found on 
Grants.gov. Applicants must download the instructions to receive all 
forms and instructions related to this NOFA. Applicants are encouraged 
to read the instructions on Grants.gov prior to submitting their 
applications.

D. Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program; Lead Hazard Reduction 
Demonstration Grant Program; and Operation Lead Elimination Action 
Program [Page 11539]

    On page 11548, section V.A.1.b.(2), third column, HUD is clarifying 
the term ``current or previous grantee'' by adding ``awarded funds in 
FY 2002 or later.''
    On page 11549, section V.A.2., first column, first full paragraph, 
HUD is correcting the HUDuser Web site address, which may be used to 
verify income data submitted to HUD.
    On page 11552, section V.A.4., second column, third full paragraph, 
first sentence, HUD is correcting the minimum match requirement for the 
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control and Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration 
programs to be 10 percent. This correction makes this statement 
consistent with other statements in the NOFA (e.g., page 11540, section 
I.B.3, left column; page 11541, section III.B., left column; and page 
11543, section III.C.3.a., left column).
    On page 11552, section V.A.4., third column, HUD is correcting the 
table header to read ``LEAP.'' This correction makes the header of the 
table at the top of the third column consistent with the last header of 
the table in second column, which continues in the third column.
    On page 11553, section V.B.2.b., column 3, HUD is correcting the 
description of the factors for award by stating that a minimum of 75 
points is required for award. This corrects the inadvertent omission of 
the minimum rating score for award among eligible applicants, which is 
the same as in the FY 2006 combined Lead Hazard Control NOFA.
    These corrections are reflected in the instructions found on 
Grants.gov. Applicants must download the instructions to receive all 
forms and instructions related to this NOFA. Applicants are encouraged 
to read the instructions on Grants.gov prior to submitting their 
applications.

E. Lead Technical Studies NOFA (Combined) Grant Program [Page 11556]

    On page 11557, Overview Information, section G.2., left column, HUD 
is correcting the amount of available funding for the combined 
Technical Studies grant programs from $5.6 million to $5.0 million, and 
the Lead Technical Studies grant program from $3.6 million to $3.0 
million. This reflects a more accurate assessment of the amount of 
funds available for the Lead Technical Studies grant program.
    On page 11558, section II.A., center column, HUD is correcting the 
amount of available funding for the Lead Technical Studies grant 
program from $3.6 million to $3.0 million. This reflects a more 
accurate assessment of the amount of funds available for this grant 
program.
    On page 11562, section IV.B.1.g.(5)(b), right column, HUD is 
correcting the checklist for the budget to include the budget 
narrative, which was inadvertently omitted from the checklist. This 
correction makes the checklist consistent with the requirement on page 
11565, section V.A.3.c.(5)(b), second column.
    These corrections are reflected in the instructions found on 
Grants.gov. Applicants must download the instructions to receive all 
forms and instructions related to this NOFA. Applicants are encouraged 
to read the instructions on Grants.gov prior to submitting their 
applications.

F. Lead Outreach Program [Page 11568]

    On page 11568, HUD is correcting the title by deleting line 5, 
``Technical Studies NOFA''. Mentioning the Technical Studies NOFA in 
the title implies that the Lead Outreach NOFA and Technical Studies 
NOFA are connected, which is not the case.
    This correction is reflected in the instructions found on 
Grants.gov. Applicants must download the

[[Page 27035]]

instructions to receive all forms and instructions related to this 
NOFA. Applicants are encouraged to read the instructions on Grants.gov 
prior to submitting their applications.

G. Healthy Homes Demonstration Grant Program [Page 11578]

    On page 11578, HUD is correcting the header by deleting line 5, 
``Technical Studies NOFA''. Mentioning the Technical Studies NOFA 
implies that the Healthy Homes Demonstration NOFA and Technical Studies 
NOFA are connected, which is not the case.
    On page 11584, section IV.B.7., first column, second bullet, second 
listed submission requirement, HUD is correcting the checklist's 
identification of the detailed budget worksheet from Form HUD-424-CB, 
``Grant Application Detailed Budget,'' to Form HUD-424-CBW, ``Grant 
Application Detailed Budget Worksheet''. This correction makes the 
checklist consistent with rating factor 3 (page 11588, section 
V.A.2.c.(3), left column), in which the applicant is asked to provide 
the worksheet.
    On page 11584, section IV.B.7., first column, second bullet, HUD is 
correcting the checklist by adding the budget narrative to the list of 
materials required to be submitted in response to rating factors. This 
correction makes the checklist consistent with Rating Factor 3 (page 
11588, section V.A.2.c.(3), center column), in which the applicant is 
asked to provide the 4-page (maximum) budget narrative.
    On page 11588, section V.A.2.c.(3), second column, HUD is 
clarifying the requirement for the budget package to include a budget 
narrative, as well as the budget itself, for any sub-grantee proposed 
to receive more than 10 percent of the total federal budget request. 
This will clarify the requirement on page 11583, section IV.B.6.c., 
right column, and inform applicants that a separate budget proposal 
should be provided for certain sub-recipients.
    These corrections are reflected in the instructions found on 
Grants.gov. Applicants must download the instructions to receive all 
forms and instructions related to this NOFA. Applicants are encouraged 
to read the instructions on Grants.gov prior to submitting their 
applications.

H. Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program 
Coordinators [Page 11593]

    On page 11595, section IV.B.1., third column, HUD is clarifying 
applicants' obligation to submit form HUD-2991, Certification of 
Consistency with the Consolidated Plan. Applicants may satisfy this 
requirement by submitting a copy of the signed PHA Certification of 
Compliance for their current Annual PHA Plan.
    This correction is reflected in the instructions found on 
Grants.gov. Applicants must download the instructions to receive all 
forms and instructions related to this NOFA. Applicants are encouraged 
to read the instructions on Grants.gov prior to submitting their 
applications.

I. ROSS--Elderly/Persons With Disabilities Program [Page 11610]

    On page 11614, section III.C.1., second column, HUD is adding 
``program outreach to participants'' to the list of eligible 
activities.
    On page 11614, section III.C.2.a., third column, HUD is removing 
the requirement for match-related letters of commitment, memoranda of 
understanding, and tribal resolutions to be on letterhead. HUD is also 
deleting the duplicative statement in the same sentence that such 
documents must be signed by a person authorized to commit the matching 
resources. The signature requirement is set forth in the immediately 
preceding sentence and is not affected by this change. The requirement 
that letters of support from Resident Associations and PHAs must be on 
letterhead is also unaffected by this change.
    On page 11616, section III.C.4.c.(3), second column, HUD is 
deleting the repetitive statements that joint applications involving 
nonprofit organizations must include evidence of resident support for 
the nonprofit organization. The requirement for nonprofit non-lead 
applicants to submit letters of support is already stated in section 
III.C.4.c.(1).
    These corrections are reflected in the instructions found on 
Grants.gov. Applicants must download the instructions to receive all 
forms and instructions related to this NOFA. Applicants are encouraged 
to read the instructions on Grants.gov prior to submitting their 
applications.

J. ROSS Family and Homeownership Program [Page 11625]

    On page 11628, section II.A.5., first column, HUD is correcting the 
misstatement that the total funding amounts described are for ROSS--
Elderly/Persons with Disabilities grants. The correction clarifies that 
the total funding amounts are for ROSS--Family and Homeownership 
grants.
    On page 11629, section II.C.1.a., first column, first partial 
paragraph, HUD is correcting the reference to HUD's policy priority to 
provide the complete title of the policy priority, which is ``Providing 
Increased Homeownership and Rental Opportunities for Low- and Moderate-
Income Persons, Persons with Disabilities, the Elderly, Minorities, and 
Families with Limited English Proficiency.''
    On page 11630, section II.C.b.(10), second column, HUD is deleting 
``program outreach'' from the list of administrative costs and adding 
it to the list of eligible activities in section II.C.b.(11).
    On page 11630, section III.C.2.a., third column, HUD is removing 
the requirement for match-related letters of commitment, memoranda of 
understanding, and tribal resolutions to be on letterhead. HUD is also 
deleting the duplicative statement in the same sentence that such 
documents must be signed by a person authorized to commit the matching 
resources. The signature requirement is set forth in the immediately 
preceding sentence and is not affected by this change. The requirement 
that letters of support from Resident Associations and PHAs must be on 
letterhead is also unaffected by this change.
    On page 11632, section III.C.4.c.(3), second column, HUD is 
deleting the statement that joint applications involving nonprofit 
organizations must include evidence of resident support for the 
nonprofit organization. The requirement for nonprofit non-lead 
applicants to submit letters of support is already stated in section 
III.C.4.c.(1).
    On page 11634, section IV.E.3., first column, HUD is deleting 
``program outreach'' from the list of administrative costs.
    On page 11636, section V.A.1.c.(1)(a)(i), third column, HUD is 
increasing the total number of points available for involving community 
partners in the delivery of services from 4 to 6. HUD is making this 
change so that the total points available for the criterion, Specific 
Services and/or Activities, will correctly add up to 12.
    These corrections are reflected in the instructions found on 
Grants.gov. Applicants must download the instructions to receive all 
forms and instructions related to this NOFA. Applicants are encouraged 
to read the instructions on Grants.gov prior to submitting their 
applications.

K. Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program [Page 11649]

    On page 11656, section V.A., first column, under paragraph d. of 
Submission Requirements for Rating Factor 3, HUD is adding a 
requirement that applicants must state how the sales

[[Page 27036]]

price for SHOP-assisted units is established. HUD is also modifying an 
existing, related requirement. With this change, applicants must 
demonstrate how, rather than simply the extent to which, SHOP funds, 
sweat equity, and other contributed resources reduce the average sales 
price below the appraised value of the home or the market value of 
comparable housing in the neighborhood.
    On page 11659, section VI.A.1., second column, HUD is adding an 
additional basis on which it may fund less than the amount requested by 
an applicant.
    These corrections are reflected in the instructions found on 
Grants.gov. Applicants must download the instructions to receive all 
forms and instructions related to this NOFA. Applicants are encouraged 
to read the instructions on Grants.gov prior to submitting their 
applications.

L. Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS

    On page 11663, section II.A., first column, HUD is reducing to $2.3 
million its estimate of funds that will be available after it makes 
awards based on renewal applications for existing projects. HUD has 
received more applications for renewal than it had anticipated.

M. Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program [Page 11697]

    On page 11702, section III.C.2.b.(3)(c)(ii), third column, HUD is 
extending the deadline for receipt by the local HUD office of Phase II 
Environmental Site Assessments to July 16, 2007.
    On page 11702, section III.C.2.b.(3)(c)(iii), third column, HUD is 
extending the deadline for receipt by the local HUD office of the 
description of the extent of the contamination and the plan for clean-
up of the site to July 16, 2007.
    On page 11712, section V.A.1., first column, HUD is increasing the 
number of points available under Rating Factor 1, Capacity of the 
Applicant and Relevant Organizational Staff, from 23 to 25 points.
    On page 11712, section V.A.1.a., second column, HUD is increasing 
the number of points available for the experience and capacity criteria 
described from 13 to 15.
    On page 11713, section V.A.3., second column, HUD is decreasing the 
number of points available under rating Factor 3, Soundness of

3. Eminent Domain
    The Revised Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007 (Pub. L. 
110-5, approved February 15, 2007) was enacted after publication of the 
General Section and made HUD's FY 2007 appropriated funds subject to 
the same conditions imposed on its FY 2006 funds. Section 726 of the 
Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, 
and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 (Pub. L. 109-115, 
approved November 30, 2005) states that no funds made available under 
the Act may be used to support any federal, state, or local projects 
that seek to use the power of eminent domain, unless eminent domain is 
employed only for a public use. This limitation applies to FY 2007 
appropriated funds.
    For purposes of this provision, public use shall not be construed 
to include economic development that primarily benefits private 
entities.
    Further, any use of funds for mass transit, railroad, airport, 
seaport or highway projects, as well as utility projects which benefit 
or serve the general public (including energy-

[[Page 27037]]

related, communication-related, water-related and wastewater-related 
infrastructure), other structures designated for use by the general 
public or which have other common-carrier or public-utility functions 
that serve the general public and are subject to regulation and 
oversight by the government, and projects for the removal of an 
immediate threat to public health and safety or brownfield as defined 
in the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization 
Act (Pub. L. 107-118) shall be considered a public use for purposes of 
eminent domain.
    On page 2416, section VIII., third column, add the following new 
section VIII.I.:
I. Office of Management and Budget Circular Compliance
    On February 15, 2007, President Bush signed into law the Revised 
Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007 (Pub. L. 110-5, approved 
February 15, 2007) (CR), which provided FY 2007 appropriations for the 
majority of federal departments and agencies. For the federal 
departments and agencies funded by this CR, the CR restricts the 
programs and activities of these departments and agencies largely to FY 
2006 funding levels. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has 
issued guidance to federal departments and agencies regarding 
administration of funds appropriated by the CR. (See OMB Memorandum (M-
07-10) issued February 15, 2007.)
    In this guidance, OMB emphasizes the importance of agencies 
adhering to existing statutes, regulations, and Administration policy 
with respect to promoting and providing for competition in soliciting 
offers and awarding contracts and competitive grants. With respect to 
HUD's FY 2007 SuperNOFA, it is important to note that the following OMB 
circulars are applicable, and particular note should be given to the 
provisions concerning the use of federal funds for matching 
requirements.
    OMB Circular A-102 (Grants and Cooperative Agreements with State 
and Local Governments) establishes consistency and uniformity among 
federal agencies in the management of grants and cooperative agreements 
with state, local, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments. 
The circular provides that state and local administration of federal 
funds must include fiscal and administrative requirements that are 
sufficiently specific to ensure that: Funds are used in compliance with 
all applicable federal statutory and regulatory provisions, costs are 
reasonable and necessary for operating these programs, and funds are 
not to be used for general expenses required to carry out other 
responsibilities of a state or its subrecipients.
    OMB Circular A-110 (Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants 
and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and 
Other Non-Profit Organizations) sets forth standards for obtaining 
consistency and uniformity among federal agencies in the administration 
of grants to and agreements with institutions of higher education, 
hospitals, and other non-profit organizations. This circular specifies 
the conditions for which funds may be used for cost sharing or matching 
and provides that federal funds shall not be accepted as cost sharing 
or matching except where authorized by federal statute to be used for 
cost sharing or matching.
    OMB Circular A-87 (Cost Principles for State, Local, and Indian 
Tribal Governments) establishes principles and standards for 
determining costs for federal awards carried out through grants, cost 
reimbursement contracts, and other agreements with states and local 
governments and federally-recognized Indian tribal governments 
(governmental units). This circular provides that an allowable cost 
under a federal award does not include a cost sharing or matching 
requirement of any other federal award in the applicable funding 
period, except as specifically provided by federal law or regulation.
    OMB Circular A-122 (Cost Principles for Non-Profit Organizations) 
establishes principles for determining costs of grants, contracts, and 
other agreements with non-profit organizations. This circular provides, 
similar to OMB Circular A-87, that an allowable cost under a federal 
award does not include a cost sharing or matching requirement of any 
other federally-financed program in the applicable funding period.
    Applicants for funding under HUD's FY 2007 SuperNOFA are reminded 
of the importance of confirming that any federal grant funds that they 
intend to use as a matching share are available to be used as matching 
funds under applicable statutes and regulations.
    In the Notice of HUD's FY 2007 SuperNOFA, beginning at 72 FR 11433, 
in the issue of March 13, 2007, the following corrections are made.

    (2) Additionally, local TA activities are focused on these 
priorities:

of information that would help CoCs, grantees and project sponsors 
carry out the purposes of the McKinney-Vento Act homeless assistance 
programs, and assisting in identifying and overcoming barriers to the 
CoC's success in doing so. Deliverables for this technical assistance 
should include agenda(s), meeting minutes, written summary report(s) 
including reports on the barriers and methods of overcoming them, next 
steps with responsible party(ies) identified, and time lines.
    (b) Assisting CoCs, grantees and project sponsors to improve access 
to mainstream systems of care for homeless persons. Deliverables for 
this technical assistance should include agenda(s), meeting minutes, 
written summary report(s), next steps with responsible party(ies) 
identified, and time lines.
    (c) Assisting grantees and project sponsors with understanding 
program requirements and monitoring standards, including sound fiscal 
and financial management practices, assessment of sub-recipients and 
providing TA to help CoCs assess grantees, project sponsors and 
individual projects.
    (d) Presenting curriculums, in person or via interactive web 
presentations, that were developed for HUD Headquarters.
    Materials developed for a single-use technical assistance 
engagement (e.g. agenda, CoC strategic planning, etc.) do not need HUD 
Headquarters review. However, any materials developed as part of a 
curriculum or developed to serve more than one CoC, must receive HUD 
Headquarters review and approval before being used.
