Deadline

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of funding availability (NOFA); notice of extension of 
application deadline.

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

SUMMARY: On September 24, 2007, HUD published its NOFA for the 
Brownfields Economic Development Initiative. Because the initial 
deadline falls on December 24, 2007, a day on or near a holiday, HUD 
has determined to extend the deadline.

DATES: The application deadline date for the BEDI NOFA competition is 
December 28, 2007 at 11:59:59 p.m.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Kaminsky, Office of Economic 
Development, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 24, 2007, HUD published its 
NOFA for the Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI) for 
Fiscal Year 2007 (72 FR 54324). The competition was stated to close on 
December 24, 2007. In order to avoid any problems or added difficulties 
that might arise from the close date falling on or near a holiday, HUD 
has determined to extend the deadline date by three days, to December 
28, 2007, in order to facilitate the application process. Extending the 
deadline date will also permit applicants to have an additional three 
days to obtain assistance from the Grants.gov desk help at 800-518-
GRANTS (this is a toll free number).
    Potential applicants are advised that the provisions of the BEDI 
NOFA that discuss timely receipt of applications continue to apply. 
Specifically, section IV.F. of the BEDI NOFA (72 FR 54330) provides 
that all applications must be received and validated by Grants.gov; or 
received no later than 11:59:59 on the deadline date. In order to 
ensure timely receipt, HUD strongly recommends applicants submit their 
electronic applications 48-72 hours prior to the deadline to ensure the 
application validation is processed prior to the deadline.

    Dated: October 23, 2007.
Nelson R. Breg[oacute]n,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development.
