[Docket No. FR-5321-C-02]


Notice of Availability: Notice of Fund Availability (NOFA) for 
Fiscal Year 2009 Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 Under the 
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009; Correction

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

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: On May 7, 2009, HUD posted on its Web site its Notice of 
Funding Availability (NOFA) for competitive grants for the Neighborhood 
Stabilization Program 2 (NSP2), authorized under the American Recovery 
and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111-5, approved 
February 17, 2009). The purpose of the NSP2 program is to stabilize 
neighborhoods whose viability has been and continues to be damaged by 
the economic effects of properties that have been foreclosed upon and 
abandoned. Today's Federal Register publication announces that HUD has 
posted a notice correcting the NSP2 NOFA on its Web site. Specifically, 
the notice corrects the NSP2 NOFA to, among other things, permit NSP2 
applicants to use a combined index score to determine whether they meet 
the geographic targeting threshold requirement, correct section (C) of 
the eligible activities table, and rescind the aggregate 5 percent 
purchase discount while leaving the 1 percent discount on individual 
purchases intact. The notice correcting the NSP2 NOFA is available on 
the HUD Web site at http://www.hud.gov/recovery.
