12650 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 51 / Monday, March 17, 1997 / Notices

However, given the limited resources

available for support of this program, we

decided not to expand eligibility beyond

the 15 areas of greatest need as

measured by the Census data. Therefore

the 5 MSAs that were incorrectly

included in the Federal Register of

Wednesday, February 12 (Phoenix, AZ;

Fresno, CA; Sacramento, CA; Honolulu,

HI; Seattle/Tacoma, WA) are simply

being dropped from consideration.
