DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND

URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR–4228–C–02]

Notice of Funding Availability for

HOPE VI Public Housing Demolition for

Fiscal Year 1997; Correction

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian

Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of funding availability;

correction.

SUMMARY: This notice corrects and

clarifies information that was provided

in the notice of funding availability

(NOFA) for fiscal year (FY) 1997 for

Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) under

the HOPE VI funding for the demolition

of obsolete Public Housing units

without revitalization, where the

demolition would otherwise not occur

due to lack of available resources.

Specifically, this notice (1) clarifies the

meaning of the phrase ‘‘capital reserves’’

and removes reference to the operating

reserves in the description of the

threshold factor III. C., Need for

Demolition Funding, and in the rating

factor IV. A., Extent of PHA Need for

Funding for the Demolition; (2) corrects

the references to the modernization

indicator in the PHMAP regulation and

the rating for factor IV. D., Extent of

PHA’s Capability and Readiness to

Perform the Demolition; and (3) clarifies

that there are two 10 point elements in

rating factor IV.B., Extent of Impact of

Demolition of Building on PHA and

Surrounding Neighborhood.

DATES: This notice does not affect the

deadline date provided in the June 3,

1997 NOFA. Applications must still be

received in Headquarters on or before

August 4, 1997, by 4 p.m. eastern time.

Applicants that have already submitted

applications before the publication of

this notice may, however, submit

changes to the amount used for ‘‘capital

reserves’’ in factors III C and IV A (now

‘‘leftover CIAP funds’’) to respond to the

clarification provided in this notice,

within 14 days of the publication of this

notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 3,

1997, (62 FR 30402), HUD published in

the Federal Register the Notice of

Funding Availability for Fiscal Year

1997 for HOPE VI funding for the

demolition of obsolete public housing

units. The NOFA announced the

availability of up to $30 million in

HOPE VI for funding the demolition

only. This notice amends the June 3,

1997 NOFA for the following reasons:

(1) The Department wants to clarify

what was intended by the term ‘‘capital

reserves’’, which was used in the

description of the threshold and rating

factors, since it is not a defined term

used in either the regulations or

handbooks for the Comprehensive

Improvement Assistance Program

(CIAP) or the Comprehensive Grant

program (CGP). This correction uses a

different term—‘‘leftover CIAP funds’’—

which it defines.

(2) The chart published in the NOFA

for factor IV. D., Extent of PHA’s

Capability and Readiness to Perform the

Demolition, on how the Department

would rate the PHMAP score for

timeliness of modernization, a

subindicator of the modernization

indicator, was ambiguous. In PHMAP,

the subindicator timeliness of

modernization can only be rated A for

pass, or F for fail. However, the chart

published in the NOFA assigned points

based on range of ratings—A, B, C or D.

Subsequently, the Department has

decided to use the complete PHMAP

indicator for modernization, which

more accurately measures all aspects of

a PHA’s capability to manage its

modernization program. In PHMAP, the

modernization indicator can be scored

A, B, C, D, E or F. This wider range of

ratings will provide a larger number of

PHAs the opportunity to receive points

for the factor in the NOFA and will

correspond to the range of ratings

published in the NOFA chart. (For the

purposes of this NOFA, only PHAs with

scores of A, B, C, or D will be given

points.)

In addition, we have eliminated

references to rating the PHA’s

management of its public housing

development funds. The chart
