The Registration Notice provides important information to assist 
applicants for Sustainable Communities Planning Grants to better 
understand the registration and electronic submission process for HUD

Registration Notice also requests that potential applicants notify HUD 
of their intent to submit an application no later than May 14, 2010. 
HUD is requesting this information to better assess the workload 
anticipated during the review process and plan accordingly. Finally,
