SUMMARY: This notice clarifies a

Initiatives Program (FHIP), published in

Kit statement which was more

expansive. In addition, this clarification

provides notice that the Department is

providing a 7-day period for any entity

an application under this NOFA

because of this variance to so advise the

Department. Any entity otherwise

eligible under the NOFA that so notifies

meets the provisions outlined in this

Notice and intends to submit an

application. Such an entity will have 30

days from today’s date, until October 2,

1997 to submit its application under the

PEI and the FHOI. Applications will be

accepted if they are received on or

before the application due date, or are

received within 7 days after the

application due date, but with a U.S.

postmark or receipt from a private

commercial delivery service (such as

Federal Express or DHL) that is dated on

or before the application due date.

statement in the Application Kit

discouraged your organization from

applying, and that you will be

submitting an application within 30

days as permitted under this

clarification, please contact Aztec Jacobs
