SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

published its Fiscal Year (FY) 2000

Super Notice of Funding Availability

(SuperNOFA) for HUD’s Housing,

Community Development, and

Empowerment Programs and Section 8

Housing Voucher Assistance. The FY

2000 SuperNOFA announced the

availability of approximately $2,424

billion in HUD program funds covering

39 grant categories within programs

operated and administered by HUD

offices and Section 8 housing voucher

assistance. The SuperNOFA included an

published separately; the FY 1999

NOFA was not part of the FY 1999

[Docket No. FR–4570–C–03]

Notice of Funding Availability for Fair

Share Allocation of Incremental

Voucher Funding Fiscal Year 2000;

Correction to NOFA Regarding

Residency Preference and Extension

of Application Period

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian

Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of Fund Availability

(NOFA); Correction of NOFA and

Extension of Application Period.

SUMMARY: On March 10, 2000, HUD

published its FY 2000 NOFA for Fair

Share Allocation of Incremental

Voucher Funding (‘‘Fair Share NOFA’’).

The selection criteria of the NOFA were

amended by notice published on May

18, 2000, to better reflect the

appropriate weight in points that should

have been assigned to the ‘‘housing

needs’’ selection criterion so that need

is the most important basis for

allocating incremental voucher funding.

The May 18, 2000 amendatory notice

also reopened the application period for

the Fair Share NOFA. The May 18, 2000

notice provided for a new application

due date of June 19, 2000. This notice

corrects the percentage listed in the

residency preference subcategory of

Selection Criterion 2. The percentage

listed in the May 18, 2000, notice was

15% and the percentage should have

been inserted was 50%. This document

makes that correction, and also extends

the application due date further—30

days from the date of publication of this

notice.

DATES: Applications are due on July 19,

2000. Applicants that already submitted

applications need not resubmit a new

application, and need not amend their

applications. Applicants that already

submitted applications, however, may

submit new or amended applications if

they so choose.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background—March 10, 2000 NOFA

If you are interested in applying for

funding under the Fair Share NOFA,

and did not apply earlier, please review

the entire Fair Share NOFA, published

on March 10, 2000 (65 FR 13222), as

amended by the notice published on

May 18, 2000 (65 FR 31584). Except for

the additional correction made by this

document and the extension of the

application due, all other provisions of

the March 10, 2000, Fair Share NOFA,

as amended on May 18, 2000, are

unchanged and remain applicable.

The March 10, 2000 Fair Share NOFA

will provide you with detailed

information regarding the submission of

an application, Section 8 program

requirements, the application selection

process to be used by HUD in selecting

applications for funding, and other

valuable information relative to a PHA’s

application submission and

participation in the program covered by

this NOFA. The March 10, 2000 Fair

Share NOFA is also available on HUD’s

internet site at http://www.hud.gov

under ‘‘Funds Available.’’ This Federal

Register notice amending the March 10,

2000 Fair Share NOFA is also available

at the same HUD web site.

Correction Made by this Notice

This notice corrects an error made in

the publication of the May 18, 2000,

notice. The May 18, 2000 notice

amended the selection criteria in

Section IV of the March 10, 2000 Fair

Share NOFA primarily to better reflect

the appropriate weight in points that

should have been assigned to the

‘‘housing needs’’ selection criterion so

that need is the most important basis for

allocating incremental voucher funding.

Weights of other criteria were reduced

accordingly. The May 18, 2000, notice

also revised or removed two selection

criteria that do not assess a public

housing agency’s housing needs and are

otherwise problematic. The revision

made by the May 18, 2000 notice was

to the residency preference subcategory

in selection criterion 2 of the NOFA.

That subcategory was altered to provide

for the assignment of points to PHAs

that will limit applicability of residency

preferences to 15% of all new

admissions to the program, as well as to

those PHAs that do not have a residency

preference or agree to eliminate one.

This change was made in recognition

that some PHAs with legally adopted

residency preferences and great housing

needs would have been penalized by the

language provided in the March 10,

2000, Fair Share NOFA. The

applicability of residency preferences to

15% of all new admissions was

incorrect. The percentage limitation was

intended to be 50%.
