SuperNOFA for HUD's Discretionary Grant Programs, beginning at 73 FR 
27032, in the issue of May 12, 2008, the following corrections are 
made.

1. Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program

    On page 27296, Overview Information, Section D, first column, the 
Funding Opportunity Number is corrected to read as follows:
    D. Funding Opportunity Number: FR-5200-N-26; OMB Approval Number is 
2502-0267.
    On page 27310, Section IV.E.5., HUD is correcting the second 
sentence of this paragraph to read as follows:

``Under 31 U.S.C. Section 1551, no funds can be disbursed fro the 
account after September 30, 2016.''

    On page 27313, Section V.A.3. Rating Factor 3, Soundness of 
Approach, HUD is adding the following rating factor:
    m. (-1). The site(s) is not permissively zoned for the intended 
use.
    On page 27316, Section VI.C.1., second and third paragraphs, center 
column, HUD is clarifying the recording requirements using the Logic 
Model to read as follows:
    ``1. The Program Outcome Logic Model (Form HUD-96010) must be 
completed indicating the proposed measures against the proposed 
activities/output and proposed outcome(s) for the appropriate year. The 
proposed measures should be entered in the ``Pre'' column of the form. 
The Logic Model has been designed to clearly identify the stages of the 
development process and it must present a realistic annual projection 
of outputs and outcomes that demonstrates your full understanding of 
the development process. Using the ``Year One'' through ``Year Three'' 
tabs on the Logic Model, you must demonstrate your ability to ensure 
that the proposed measures will result in the timely development of 
your project. To provide for greater consistency in reporting, you must 
include all activities and outcomes excepted per year of the period of 
performance. Note: The reported outcome of an identified activity/
output may be realized in a different year.
    The Logic Model will capture information in two stages. Stage one 
will demonstrate your ability to develop the project within the 
required timeframe. This stage will capture data that relates to 
initial closing, construction, and final closing. Stage one will 
require the submission of a completed form HUD-96010, Logic Model on an 
annual basis, beginning with the date of the Agreement Letter and 
concluding with the date of Final Closing. At the time of the Project 
Planning Conference, HUD and the applicant will finalize the services 
and activities in association with this Logic Model and the development 
timeline. On an annual basis, applicants will report against the 
finalized logic model by documenting the achieved measures in the 
``Post'' column. (Note: Applicants are not required to complete the YTD 
(year-to-date) column.) The final reporting requirement for the Logic 
Model will require that the applicant use the ``Total'' worksheet to 
fully document the activities and outcomes as well as the associated 
measures that have occurred during the period of performance. In 
addition, a response to each of the program management evaluation 
questions is required at time of final report.
    The second stage will require the Owner to submit a completed form 
HUD-96010, Logic Model on an annual basis, beginning one year after the 
date of the final logic model submission that was required in stage one 
and concluding at the conclusion of the mortgage. Stage two will 
require the Owner to document the services/activities that are made 
available to

[[Page 32594]]

tenants and the expected outcomes and measures of such services.''

2. Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons With Disabilities 
(Section 811 Programs), Beginning at Page 27319

    On page 27340, section V.A.5., first column, HUD is deleting 
paragraphs c and d.
    On page 27342, Section VI.C.1., second and third paragraphs, center 
column, center column, HUD is clarifying the recording requirements 
using the Logic Model to read as follows:
    ``1. The Program Outcome Logic Model (Form HUD-96010) must be 
completed indicating the proposed measures against the proposed 
activities/output and proposed outcome(s) for the appropriate year. The 
proposed measures should be entered in the ``Pre'' column of the form.

date of the final logic model submission that was required in stage one 
and concluding at the conclusion of the mortgage. Stage two will

available to tenants and the expected outcomes and measures of such 
services.''
