**FEDERAL FUNDING REPORT TABLE OF CONTENTS**

This Federal Funding Report is a weekly compilation of items published
in the Federal Register which affect Federal domestic assistance
programs. No attempt is made to include Federal Register notices not
directly related to Grants and Loans programs. The summary consists of
three parts: (1) Federal Register Summary, (2) Early Warning Grants
Report, and (3) Disaster Loan Applications.

Periodically, a Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number
will not be listed in the announcement. There are two (2) basic reasons
for this: 1) a CFDA number has been applied for and not yet received, or
2) the CFDA number has not been put in by the agency yet. Please call
the contact person listed in the Federal Register announcement for the
correct CFDA number. The new number should appear in the next edition of
the CFDA, which is published in June and December of each year.
