NOFA for Lead-Based Paint Hazard

Control in Privately-Owned Housing,

Fiscal Year 1997; Notice of Extension

of Application Deadline Date Due to

United Parcel Service (UPS) Labor

Strike

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary—Office

of Lead Hazard Control, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of funding availability

for FY 1997; extension of application

deadline date.

SUMMARY: On June 3, 1997 (62 FR

30380), HUD published a notice

announcing the availability of

approximately $50 million for two

categories of lead hazard control

activities in privately-owned housing.

The June 3, 1997 notice of funding

availability (NOFA) provided that

applications had to be received by HUD

no later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Time)

on August 5, 1997. Due to the United

Parcel Service (UPS) labor strike, HUD

is retroactively extending the

application deadline date to 5:00 p.m.

(Eastern Time), August 5, 1997. HUD

will also accept late applications which

are either postmarked on or contain a

receipt of delivery to a private express

mail carrier by midnight (Eastern Time)

on August 5, 1997. HUD is extending

the application due date in order to

prevent the unfair rejection of NOFA

applications which, although completed

on a timely basis, could not be delivered

to HUD by the original deadline date

due to the UPS strike.
