Notice of HUD’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 

Notice of Funding Availability, Policy 

Requirements and General Section to 

SuperNOFA for HUD’s Discretionary 

Grant Programs; Lead Hazard 

Reduction Demonstration Program 

NOFA; Competition Reopening 

Announcement 

AGENCY: Department of Housing and 

Urban Development, Office of Healthy 

Homes and Lead Hazard Control, HUD. 

ACTION: Super Notice of Funding 

Availability (SuperNOFA) for HUD 

Discretionary Grant Programs; 

reopening of competition 

announcement for Lead Hazard 

Reduction Demonstration Program 

NOFA (CFDA number 14.905). 

SUMMARY: On January 20, 2006, HUD 

published its Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 

Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) 

Policy Requirements and General 

Section to the SuperNOFA for HUD’s 

Discretionary Grant Programs. On 

March 8, 2006, HUD published its FY 

2006 SuperNOFA for HUD’s 

Discretionary Grant Programs, which 

included a Program Section addressing 

three Lead Hazard Programs. That 

NOFA closed on June 7, 2006; awards 

are being announced concurrently with 

today’s Notice. Today’s Notice 

announces the reopening of the Lead 

Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant 

Program NOFA competition (CFDA 

number 14.905) only. Applicants 

announced today as award recipients 

under the 2006 Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program are 

ineligible for the reopened competition. 

Further, as previously stated in the 

initial March 8, 2006, Lead Hazard 

Reduction Demonstration NOFA, 

applicants awarded grants under the FY 

2005 Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program, 

Operation Lead Elimination Action 

Program, or Lead-Based Paint Hazard 

Control Program are still ineligible 

under this reopening. 

Additional Items of Note to Applicants 

• This document revises the 

methodology for determining the pre1940 housing eligibility criterion to the 

Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration 

Grant Program NOFA. 

• Only applications submitted for the 

Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration 

Grant Program will be reviewed. 

In order to provide equitable review 

of applications from both unsuccessful 

applicant jurisdictions under the 

original FY 2006 Lead Hazard 

Reduction Demonstration Grant 

Program and Lead-Based Paint Hazard 

Control Grant Program NOFAs, as well 

as those jurisdictions who did not apply 

previously, HUD will provide a 

debriefing for the original NOFA only 

after the application deadline date for 

this NOFA shown in the DATES section, 

below. The procedures for requesting a 

debriefing are outlined in the General 

Section. HUD is providing comments on 

important issues regarding this NOFA, 

such as common problems identified 

during review of the original FY 2006 

Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration 

NOFA applications, in order to provide 

information equitably to all applicants 

for this NOFA. HUD’s comments are in 

Appendix B of this NOFA. 

• Applicants under this Notice 

should carefully review the 

requirements, including Appendices A 

and B, to ensure that their submission 

is complete and addresses all elements 

of the competition. 

DATES: The new application deadline 

date for the Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program NOFA is 

Tuesday, October 31, 2006. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Management and Assurance Division, 

Office of Healthy Homes and Lead 

Hazard Control, 451 Seventh Street,

may access this number via TTY by 

calling the Federal Information Relay 

Service at (800) 877–8339. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 20, 2006, HUD published its 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 Notice of Funding 

Availability (NOFA) Policy 

Requirements and General Section 

(General Section) to the SuperNOFA for 

HUD’s Discretionary Programs (71 FR 

3382). On March 8, 2006, HUD 

published its FY 2006 SuperNOFA for 

HUD’s Discretionary Grant Programs (71 

FR 11812); the Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program NOFA 

included in the SuperNOFA closed on 

June 7, 2006. On April 28, 2006, HUD 

published a technical correction to the 

General Section, which clarified that 

HUD would only review file 

attachments that were in certain formats 

(71 FR 25208). The technical correction 

Notice also made corrections to the Lead 

Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant 

Program section. 

HUD did not receive a sufficient 

number of eligible applications that met 

the funding criteria for the Lead Hazard 

Reduction Demonstration Grant 

Program. Therefore, HUD is providing 

jurisdictions with the most need (as 

identified by the documented number of 

pre-1940 occupied rental units and by 

children under six with elevated blood 

lead levels), the opportunity to apply for 

funding in order to address lead hazards 

in their communities. This Notice 

reopens the Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program NOFA 

competition. The reopened competition 

makes available approximately 

$39,079,831 in FY 2006 funds for 

approximately 10 to approximately 15 

new awards. 

On August 8, 2006, HUD published 

additional information regarding 

changes made to the Central Contractor 

Registration (CCR) that will impact 

applicants that are starting the 

registration process or updating their 

registration (71 FR 45063). The notice 

stated that as of August 1, 2006, CCR 

would obtain certain data fields from 

Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) to prepopulate the CCR registration. CCR also 

recently announced that it would check 

these records against Internal Revenue 

Service records to ensure the 

registration is accurate and matches 

what was provided to the IRS. If there 

is a discrepancy in the data between 

what is contained in the D&B 

registration, and what you have 

provided to the IRS, your registration 

cannot be completed until the 

discrepancy is resolved. Applicants 

should review their D&B registration for 

accuracy and allow sufficient time to 

make any required changes. This 

process is part of a government-wide 

eAuthentication process. For further 

information regarding your D&B 

registration, you can contact the D&B 

Government Helpdesk at: 

govt@dnb.com. For information 

regarding the CCR policy change, see 

the ‘‘Frequently Asked Questions’’ at: 

http://www.ccr.gov/ 

newsdetail.asp?id=55&type=N or the 

CCR Assistance Center at: http:// 

www.dlis.dla.mil/cust.asp. Applicants 

with current registrations that are not 

expiring during the application period 

are not affected. 

Applications must be received and 

validated by Grants.gov by 11:59:59 

p.m. on Tuesday, October 31, 2006. 

Applicants that applied under the initial 

NOFA competition but did not receive 

awards may submit a new application 

under this competition if otherwise 

eligible. 

The Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program NOFA 

has a threshold requirement for the 

number of pre-1940 occupied rental 

housing units in the applicant’s 

jurisdiction(s). Appendix A lists the 


ycherry on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 179 / Friday, September 15, 2006 / Notices 54555 

local governments, States and Tribes 

that are eligible to apply (part A of 

Appendix A), as well as the other 

jurisdictions within the same 

metropolitan area that may participate 

with them as sub-applicants or 

consortium members (part B of 

Appendix A). A State with an EPAauthorized lead-based paint training and 

certification program may apply on 

behalf of one or more of the eligible 

jurisdictions. A Tribe with an EPAauthorized lead-based paint training and 

certification program meeting the unit 

requirement may also apply on its own 

behalf. Appendix B lists HUD’s 

comments on selected issues related to 

this NOFA. The identification of eligible 

jurisdictions is based upon 2000 Census 

data available at http:// 

www.census.govPress-Rlease/www/ 

2002/sumfile3.html. HUD used Census 

data to identify metropolitan areas with 

3,500 or more housing units of occupied 

rental housing built in 1939 or earlier. 

Form HUD 96013, ‘‘Need/Extent of the 

Problem,’’ includes instructions on how 

to obtain housing information for 

individual areas. Form HUD 96013 is 

included in the application download at 

Grants.gov. 

Applicability of SuperNOFA General 

Section and the Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program NOFA 

Requirements to Reopened Competition 

Please note that all the requirements 

contained in the General Section and 

Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration 

Grant Program Section previously 

published remain the same, with the 

exception of the revised methodology 

for determining pre-1940 housing 

eligibility noted below, and the 

additional ineligibility requirement of 

2006 Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration grantees as mentioned 

above in this Notice. 

Modification to Threshold Requirement 

for Determining the Pre-1940 Housing 

Eligibility Criterion 

1. Housing Eligibility Criterion 

HUD has modified its threshold 

eligibility criterion for the number of 

pre-1940 occupied rental housing units 

under this re-opened NOFA for the Lead 

Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant 

Program. HUD is replacing section 

III.C.3.b, in the first column on page 

11819 of the original Lead Hazard 

Reduction Demonstration Grant 

Program NOFA, with the following: ‘‘b. 

To be eligible to apply for the Lead 

Hazard Reduction Demonstration 

Program, the applicant must be a city, 

county, or other unit of local 

government. The applicant must have at 

least 3,500 pre-1940 occupied rental 

housing units, as listed at the 2000 

Census Web site identified in Form 

HUD 96013, ‘‘Need/Extent of the 

Problem.’’ In addition, a State may 

apply on behalf of one or more of the 

eligible local jurisdictions if it has an 

EPA-authorized lead-based paint 

training and certification program. 

Under a State application, at least one 

local government in each different 

metropolitan area covered by the 

application must meet the 3,500-unit 

threshold. In addition, a consortium of 

local governments within a single 

metropolitan area may apply. The local 

government identified as the primary 

applicant must meet the 3,500-unit 

threshold.’’

2. Applicant Eligibility 

Only applicants that did not receive 

an award from HUD under the FY 2005 

Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration 

Grant Program, Operation Lead 

Elimination Action Program, LeadBased Paint Hazard Control Program, or 

the FY 2006 Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program are 

eligible to apply under this Notice. HUD 

provides a listing of applicants awarded 

funds at HUD’s Web site at http:// 

www.hud.gov/grants/index.cfm, under 

the header ‘‘Funding Announcements.’’

3. Single Application 

HUD will review only one application 

for each jurisdiction. If HUD receives 

more than one application from a 

jurisdiction, HUD will contact the chief 

executive officer for the jurisdiction 

(e.g., the mayor, county executive, etc.) 

to determine which application is to be 

considered. If the executive does not 

select one applicant to be considered 

under this NOFA, HUD will not review 

any of the applications. 

A jurisdiction where lead hazard 

control work will be done can appear in 

only one application. If the jurisdiction 

appears in more than one application, 

none of the applications in which the 

jurisdiction appears will be reviewed. 

Submission Instructions 

Applicants must follow application 

submission procedures published in 

HUD’s FY 2006 General Section to the 

SuperNOFA for HUD’s Discretionary 

Programs. HUD encourages eligible 

applicants that previously applied in FY 

2006 under the Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program but were 

not awarded a grant to submit new 

applications. To assist applicants in 

revising applications, Appendix B 

provides ‘‘HUD’s Comments on Selected 

Issues’’ regarding the Lead Hazard 

Reduction Demonstration Grant 

Program, as well as the most frequent 

deficiencies identified in first round 

applications in order to ensure that 

under this funding round, all applicants 

submit the best quality application. 

Applications submitted for programs 

other than the Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program (CFDA 

number 14.905) will not be reviewed 

and cannot receive an award. 

Applicants interested in applying for 

funding under this competition must 

download an application from 

Grants.gov and submit a new 

application in its entirety. HUD will not 

accept a partial or amended application 

submission. If you submit your old 

application, Grants.gov will reject it. 

Applicants need to read the submission 

requirements carefully. 

Waiver of Electronic Submission 

Requirement 

You must submit your application 

electronically, unless you obtain a 

waiver as noted below. You may request 

a waiver from the electronic submission 

requirement. HUD’s waiver regulations 

require that a request for a waiver be 

based upon cause. Therefore, if you 

request a waiver to the electronic 

submission requirement your waiver 

request must be in writing. It must state 

the basis for the request and explain 

why electronic submission is not 

possible. The basis for waivers for cause 

may include, but are not limited to: (a) 

Lack of available Internet access in the 

geographic location in which the 

applicant’s business office is located, or 

(b) physical disability of the applicant 

that prevents the applicant from 

accessing or responding to the 

application electronically. 

In order to ensure your waiver request 

is received, you must submit your 

waiver request by e-mail, fax, or letter 

(return receipt requested) at least 15 

days prior to the deadline date to allow 

sufficient time for HUD to review the 

request and respond. Applicants should 

send e-mails with a return receipt and 

retain the receipt for their records. 

Applicants should retain the fax 

confirmation receipt, when submitting a 

fax request for a waiver. The waiver 

request should include the applicant’s 

e-mail, name, and mailing address of the 

organization where responses can be 

directed. Waiver requests must be 

submitted to Jonnette G. Hawkins, 

Director Program Management and 

Assurance Division. 

Waiver requests may be submitted by 

e-mail to 

Jonnette_G._Hawkins@hud.gov, by fax 

to (202) 755–1000, or by letter to: U.S. 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW.,

location by the deadline date and time 

contained in this Notice.

Appendix A: Metropolitan Areas 

Having at Least One Place or County 

With 3,500 or More Occupied Rental 

Housing Units Built Before 1940, and 

Eligible States and Tribes 

(Based on the 2000 Census) 

This Appendix lists States and 

jurisdictions that are eligible to apply 

under this Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program Notice of 

Funding Availability (NOFA). Part A 

lists eligible applicants, which must be 

a unit of local general government (city 

or county) or a State or Native American 

Tribe that is authorized by EPA to 

administer a lead-based paint training 

and certification program. To be an 

eligible city or county, a jurisdiction 

must have 3,500 or more occupied pre1940 rental housing units according to 

the 2000 Census. A State with an EPA 

authorized lead-based paint training and 

certification program may apply on 

behalf of one or more of its eligible local 

jurisdictions. An eligible Native 

American Tribe may apply on its own 

behalf. 

Part B of this Appendix lists 

metropolitan areas with 3,500 or more 

occupied pre-1940 rental housing units 

and their component jurisdictions. 

Jurisdictions listed in Part B have fewer 

than 3,500 occupied pre-1940 rental 

housing units. These jurisdictions in the 

same metropolitan area as an eligible 

applicant listed in Part A may 

participate in a Lead Hazard Control 

Demonstration program as a sub-grantee 

or consortium partner. 

In addition, EPA-authorized States 

and Tribes that apply on behalf of one 

or more eligible jurisdictions listed in 

Part A may include jurisdictions that are 

part of a multi-state metropolitan area in 

which the eligible city is located in a 

different State. 

Also, as described in the NOFA, 

jurisdictions that previously received 

awards under the FY 2005 Lead Hazard 

Reduction Demonstration Grant 

Program, Operation Lead Elimination 

Action Program, or Lead-Based Paint 

Hazard Control Grant Program, or the 

FY 2006 Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program, even if 

included in this Appendix, are 

ineligible to apply under this reopened 

competition.

Applicants must provide the source 

for all required match funds and other 

contributions or leveraged funds in a 

letter of commitment, in order for these 

to be considered. (The only exception is 

if the applicant itself is providing the 

match or leveraging, in which case the 

applicant’s electronic signature on the 

SF–424, Application for Federal 

Assistance, is sufficient.) Community 

Development Block Grant (CDBG) 

funds, or other federal programs that 

allow their funds to be considered local 

funds, are the only federal sources that 

can be used for the match requirement. 

A2. Some applicants provided 

inadequate letters of commitment.

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 179 / Friday, September 15, 2006 / Notices 54563 

Some applicants did not specify the 

dollar amount of the contribution, 

describe how the activity would be 

incorporated into the proposed work 

plan, indicate whether the contribution 

would be used within the period of 

performance of the proposed grant, or 

have the organization’s authorized 

person sign the letter of commitment. 

B. Eligibility 

B1. Some unsuccessful applicants 

were ineligible based on their having 

received an award under another NOFA. 

You are ineligible to apply under this 

reopened competition if you received an 

award under any of the following grant 

NOFAs: 

• FY 2005 Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program. 

• FY 2005 Operation Lead 

Elimination Action Program. 

• FY 2005 Lead-Based Paint Hazard 

Control Grant Program. 

• FY 2006 Lead Hazard Reduction 

Demonstration Grant Program. 

Unsuccessful applicants for a 

previous NOFA may apply for this 

NOFA if they submit a new and revised 

application. Applicants must download 

a new application from Grants.gov and 

submit a new application in its entirety. 

HUD will not accept a partial or 

amended application submission. 

Grants.gov will reject old applications. 

HUD encourages each applicant to 

examine its earlier application and these 

comments to identify areas for 

improvement. 

B2. Some applicants for the Lead 

Hazard Reduction Demonstration 

Program did not have the minimum of 

3,500 pre-1940 occupied rental-housing 

units to be eligible to apply. 

Appendix A of this reopened LHRD 

NOFA lists the cities, counties, States 

and Native American Tribes that are 

eligible to apply. It also lists all the 

cities and counties in each metropolitan 

area that have 3,500 or more occupied 

pre-1940 rental units. Listed cities and 

counties may combine their application 

with other cities or counties within the 

same metropolitan area, but only an 

eligible city or county with 3,500 or 

more units can be the applicant 

submitting the application through 

Grants.gov. States that apply on behalf 

of one or more eligible cities or counties 

may also include additional cities or 

counties listed in Appendix A as subapplicants. 

B3. A State government or Native 

American Tribal government must have 

an EPA-authorized Lead-Based Paint 

Training and Certification Program. 

The list of EPA-authorized State and 

Native American Tribal governments is 

found at http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/ 

traincert.htm. 

B4. More than one agency from the 

same jurisdiction applies separately. 

HUD will review only one application 

from each jurisdiction. If HUD receives 

more than one application for the same 

jurisdiction, we will contact chief 

executive officer for the jurisdiction 

(e.g., the mayor, county executive, etc.) 

to determine which application is to be 

considered. If the executive does not 

select an applicant, HUD will not 

review any of the applications from the 

jurisdiction. 

B5. A city and the county in which it 

is located submit separate applications 

for work in the same jurisdiction. 

A jurisdiction where lead hazard 

control work will be done can appear in 

only one application. If the jurisdiction 

appears in more than one application, 

none of the applications in which the 

jurisdiction appears will be reviewed. 

For example, HUD will review the 

applications from a county and a city 

that is totally within the county’s 

borders if the county’s target area for 

doing lead hazard control work is 

outside the city limits, and the city’s 

target area is within the city limits. 

C. Application Technical Quality 

C1. Some applicants submitted a 

narrative response that exceeded the 20- 

page narrative response limit. 

The 20-page limit is a prerequisite to 

the application being valid and being 

rated by HUD fairly in comparison to 

other valid applications. Excess pages 

will not be reviewed, and applicants 

will not receive any points for material 

on the excess pages or referred to by 

those pages. The application will be less 

competitive, and the applicant will be 

less likely to be awarded a grant. 

The narrative responses to the Rating 

Factors should be submitted as a single 

Microsoft WordTM document file that 

does not exceed 20 pages. Resumes, 

organizational charts, and letters of 

commitment in support of the match 

and other contributions are exempt from 

the 20-page limit. Other materials in 

support of the Rating Factors are subject 

to a separate 20-page limit. 

C2. Some applicants did not label 

attachments in support of their narrative 

responses. 

Materials provided in the attachments 

should directly apply to the specific 

Rating Factor narrative response and be 

paginated and labeled to reflect this. All 

attachments must identify the related 

factor in the footer by providing the 

Rating Factor number and the page 

number (e.g., Factor 1 Attachment, page 

1), and should be submitted as a single 

compressed (zipped) file attachment to 

the electronic application. 

C3. Some applicants did not provide 

a signature on forms that required one. 

Forms HUD–2880, HUD–2990 (if 

applicable), HUD–2991 and other 

certifications must be signed and dated, 

and submitted electronically (e.g., 

scanned) or faxed using form HUD–

96011. 

D. Application Substantive Quality 

D1. Some applicants proposed to 

conduct lead hazard control in 

ineligible HUD-assisted housing. 

Lead hazard control grant funds may 

not be used in residential properties that 

receive project-based rental assistance, 

are federally owned, or are public 

housing. Projects under certain HUD 

programs, however, may also use lead 

hazard control funding. These programs 

include: 

a. Community Planning & 

Development Programs—Housing 

Components: 

• Community Development Block 

Grants (Entitlement). 

• Community Development Block 

Grants (Non-Entitlement) for States and 

small cities. 

• Community Development Block 

Grants (Section 108 Loan Guarantee). 

• Special Purpose Grants. 

• The Home Program: HOME 

Investment Partnerships. 

• HOPE for Homeownership of Single 

Family Homes. 

• Shelter Plus Care—Tenant-based 

Rental Assistance. 

• Emergency Shelter Grants.

• Single Family Home Mortgage 

Coinsurance (Section 244). 

• Graduated Payment Mortgages 

(Section 245). 

• Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) 

(Section 251). 

• Manufactured Homes (Title I). 

c. Office of Housing—Multifamily 

Programs: 

• Multifamily Rental Housing 

(Section 207). 

• Cooperative Housing (Section 213). 

• Mortgage and Major Home 

Improvement Loan Insurance for Urban 

Renewal Areas (Section 220). 

• Multifamily Rental Housing for 

Moderate-Income Families—Section 

221(d)(4). 

• Existing Multifamily Rental 

Housing (Section 223(f)). 

• Supplemental Loans for 

Multifamily Projects (Section 241). 

d. Public and Indian Housing 

Programs: 

• Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher 

Program (Tenant-Based Rental 

Assistance). 

D2. Some applicants do not 

understand that the term ‘‘Section 8’’

covers housing that is eligible for 

assistance under the lead hazard control 

programs, and housing that is not 

eligible. 

Section 8 of the National Housing Act 

includes both project-based rental 

assistance and tenant-based rental 

assistance. Tenant-based rental 

assistance: 

• Means a program that provides 

vouchers (or public subsidies) to 

income-qualified tenants to use towards 

rent in private rental housing. 

• Is referred to as the ‘‘Housing 

Choice Voucher Program’’. 

• Is administered by public housing 

authorities or State or local housing 

agencies. 

• Is overseen by HUD’s Office of 

Public and Indian Housing. 

Project-based rental assistance: 

• Means a program that provides 

subsidies to property owners to provide 

affordable rental housing for incomequalified tenants. 

• Is administered by HUD’s Office of 

Housing—Multifamily Programs. As 

referenced in item D1 above, the 

limitation for lead hazard control grant 

assistance applies only to properties 

receiving project-based rental 

assistance. 

D3. Some applicants proposed to 

conduct lead hazard control along with 

general rehabilitation, but did not 

clearly define the lead hazard control 

portion of the project. 

Lead hazard control activities must be 

distinguished from general 

rehabilitation activities. Both should be 

clearly described in Rating Factor 3, 

‘‘Soundness of Approach,’’ and the 

budget narrative. Lead Hazard Control 

Demonstration grant funds may be used 

for lead hazard control work done in 

conjunction with other housing 

rehabilitation programs, to the extent 

practicable. HUD encourages integration 

of this grant program with housing 

rehabilitation, maintenance, 

weatherization, and other energy 

conservation activities. Applicants 

conducting lead hazard control work 

along with rehabilitation, 

weatherization, and other work other 

than lead hazard control should explain 

the coordination of these activities, 

including the management organization 

and process to ensure the costeffectiveness of intended lead hazard 

control methods, the process for 

developing the work specifications, the 

lead hazard control contractor bid and 

selection process, the number of units 

anticipated to be blended from these 

other programs and resources, and the 

delineation of funds. 

D4. Some current and past grantees 

assumed HUD reviewers would be 

familiar with their program, and did not 

fully respond to the Rating Factors. 

Each applicant should fully respond 

to each Rating Factor and sub-factor 

identified in the NOFA in order to 

receive the maximum number of points. 

Be sure that all responses are clear, 

precise, and organized by the 

appropriate Rating Factor. Applicants 

should not presume that the previous 

NOFA under which they were awarded 

is the same as the current NOFA.
