Subject: Revised Fiscal Year 1994 Policy for Section 202

Application Processing and Selections, Revised

Section 202 Processing Schedule.

1\. PURPOSE.

This Notice provides a revised processing schedule for

Section 202 applications and amends Attachment 3 of Notice

94-45, Section 202 Application Processing and Selection

Instructions regarding the elimination of Headquarters role

in the selection process of Fiscal Year 1994 Section 202

applications. This action is necessary in order to comply

with the amended FY 1994 Notice of Fund Availability (NOFA)

for Supportive Housing for the Elderly, published in the

Friday, April 8, 1994, Federal Register. This Notice should

be used in conjunction with the interim Rule (Part 889), the

February 2, 1994, Federal Register Notice of Fund

Availability, the Friday, April 8, 1994, Federal Register

Amended NOFA, Notice 94-45 and Handbook 4571.3 REV-1-Section 202

Supportive Housing for the Elderly.

2\. GENERAL OVERVIEW:

The modifications to Handbook 4571.3 REV-1 outlined in

Notice 94-45, Attachment 3, eliminate the need for rating

and technical review documents being forwarded to

Headquarters for review and ultimate final selection of

Section 202 applications. Paragraph 3-56 of Handbook 4571.3

REV-1 addresses the Regional Office Selection Panel and

Recommendations. Publication of the April 8, 1994 amended

NOFA permits field offices to accept applications for

projects in areas where funds were not allocated. This

amendment to the NOFA requires that the process by which

residual funds are distributed, be modified. Paragraph 3-56

A. 4. is modified as follows:
