community building academic program.

The Hispanic-serving Institutions Work

Study Program (HSI–WSP) is authorized

by section 107(c) of the Housing and

Community Development Act of 1974,

as amended. 42 U.S.C. § 5307(c).

Available Funds. Up to $1.5 million

in grants from FY 1997 appropriations

to fund HSI–WSP to be carried out from

August 1997 to August 1999.

Eligible Applicants. Certain

institutions of higher education, i.e.,

public and private non-profit Hispanicserving community colleges.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 9, 1997.

DATES: Applications must be physically

received by the Office of University

Partnerships, in care of the Division of

Budget, Contracts, and Program Control,

in Room 8230, Department of Housing

and Urban Development, 451 Seventh

Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410, by

4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on June 5, 1997.

Facsimiles of the application will not be

accepted. This deadline is firm as to

date, hour, and place. In the interest of

fairness to all competing applicants, the

Department will treat as ineligible for

consideration any application that is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Information Collection Requirements

The information collection

requirements contained in this NOFA

have been submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

review under the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520) and

have been assigned OMB control

number 2528–0182. An agency may not

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not

required to respond to, a collection of

information unless the collection

displays a valid control number.

Promoting Comprehensive Approaches

to Housing and Community

Development

HUD is interested in promoting

comprehensive, coordinated approaches

to housing and community

development. Economic development,

community development, public

housing revitalization, homeownership,

assisted housing for special needs

populations, supportive services, and

welfare-to-work initiatives can work

better if linked at the local level.

Toward this end, HUD in recent years

has developed the Consolidated

Planning process designed to help

communities undertake such

approaches.

In this spirit, it may be helpful for

applicants under this NOFA to be aware

of other related HUD NOFAs that have

recently been published or are expected

to be published in the near future. By

reviewing these NOFAs with respect to

their program purposes and the

eligibility of applicants and activities,

applicants may be able to relate the

activities proposed for funding under

this NOFA to the recent and upcoming

NOFAs and to the community’s

Consolidated Plan.

With respect to education programs,

HUD published on March 4, 1997, at 62

FR 9898, a NOFA for the Community

Development Work Study Program for

FY 1997.

To foster comprehensive, coordinated

approaches by communities, HUD

intends for the remainder of FY 1997 to

continue to alert applicants to upcoming

and recent NOFAs as each NOFA is

published. In addition, a complete

schedule of NOFAs to be published

during the fiscal year and those already

published appears under the HUD

Homepage on the Internet, which can be

accessed at http://www.hud.gov/

nofas.html. Additional steps on NOFA

coordination may be considered for FY

1998.

For help in obtaining a copy of your

community’s Consolidated Plan, please

contact the community development

office of your municipal government.

A. Background

The Hispanic-serving Institutions

Work Study Program is authorized by

section 107(c) of the Housing and

Community Development Act of 1974,

as amended. 42 U.S.C. § 5307(c). This

section, which was added by section

501(b)(2) of the Housing and

Community Development Act of 1987,

has served as authorization for the

Department’s Community Development

Work Study Program (CDWSP) since

that program’s inception. It provides

authority to, ‘‘* * * make grants to

institutions of higher education, either

directly or through areawide planning

organizations or States, for the purpose

of providing assistance to economically

disadvantaged and minority students

who participate in community

development work study programs and

are enrolled in full-time graduate or

undergraduate programs in community

and economic development, community

planning, or community management.’’

Since Fiscal Year 1996, legislative

history accompanying the Department’s

appropriations acts has earmarked a

portion of its section 107(c) work study

funds for Hispanic-serving institutions.

This final rule establishes regulations

governing the award of those funds
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 68 / Wednesday, April 9, 1997 / Notices 17499

under the Hispanic-serving Institutions

Work Study Program (HSI–WSP). While

CDWSP and HSI–WSP are subject to the

same statutory requirements, they are

implemented by different regulatory

provisions.

Under HSI–WSP, Hispanic-serving

community colleges may apply for

funding to provide tuition support,

stipends and other support to full-time

students seeking two-year associate

degrees in community building

academic programs. HSI–WSP students

are required to devote 12–20 hours per

week during the regular school year and

35–40 hours per week during the

summer, to a work placement

assignment that complements the field

of study the student is pursuing. Only

economically disadvantaged students,

as determined by the HSI’s financial aid

guidelines, may be assisted, and eligible

students must not have attained more

than half of the credits needed to

graduate at the time they enter HSI–

WSP. The amount of assistance to be

provided is limited to a maximum of

$13,200 per student, which includes an

administrative allowance of $1,000 per

student to cover the institution’s costs

for administration of the program

(subject to the 20% limitation described

at 24 CFR 570.416(c)(4)). Potential

applicants should refer to 24 CFR

570.416, which appears elsewhere in

today’s Federal Register as the HSI–

WSP final rule, for more specific

information about program

requirements not described herein.

B. Eligible Institutions

Public or private nonprofit Hispanicserving Institutions offering only twoyear degrees, including degrees in at

least one community building academic

program, are eligible for assistance

under HSI–WSP. A community building

academic program means an

undergraduate associate degree program

whose purpose and focus is to educate

students in community building. The

terms ‘‘community building academic

program’’ or ‘‘academic program’’ refer

to the types of academic programs

encompassed in the statutory phrase

‘‘community or economic development,

community planning or community

management.’’ For purposes of HSI–

WSP, such programs include but are not

limited to associate degree programs in

community and economic development,

community planning, community

management, public administration,

public policy, urban economics, urban

management, urban planning, land use

planning, housing, and related fields of

study. Related fields of study that

promote community building, such as

administration of justice, child

development, and human services are

eligible, while fields such as natural

sciences, computer sciences,

mathematics, accounting, electronics,

engineering, and the humanities (such

as English or history) would not be. A

transfer program (i.e., one that leads to

transfer to a four-year institution of

higher education for the student’s junior

year) in a community building academic

discipline is eligible only if the student

is required to declare his/her major in

this discipline while at the community

college.

Hispanic-serving institutions are

those institutions of higher education

that the U.S. Department of Education

has determined meet the criteria set out

in Title III of the Higher Education Act

of 1965. Title III of the Higher Education

Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1059c(b)(1))

defines an HSI generally as an eligible

institution of education that has an

enrollment of undergraduate full-time

students that is at least 25 percent

Hispanic; in which not less than 50

percent of the Hispanic students are

low-income individuals (i.e., their

families’ taxable income for the

preceding year did not exceed 150

percent of the poverty level) who are

first generation college students; and in

which another 25 percent of the

Hispanic students are either low-income

individuals or first generation college

students. Further, the U.S. Department

of Education has issued a list of all

institutions meeting the statutory HSI

definition and HUD uses this list to

determine eligibility for HSI–WSP.

However, eligibility for HSI–WSP is

further limited to community colleges

offering two-year associate degrees in

community building fields. Institutions

offering both two-year and four-year

degrees are not eligible for HSI–WSP. A

list of the community colleges on the

Department of Education’s list of HSIs

appears as Appendix A to this Notice of

Funding Availability. Only institutions

on this list, or HSI–WSP-eligible

institutions subsequently added to the

U.S. Department of Education’s list of

qualified HSI’s, prior to the application

deadline, are eligible to apply for HSI–

WSP funds under this Notice.

C. Number of Students To Be Assisted

Although the HSI–WSP final rule

published elsewhere in today’s Federal

Register allows up to 10 students to be

assisted by each recipient, the

Department has decided to limit the

number of students to be assisted under

this NOFA by any one school to five

students. Funds available for FY 1997

are substantially less than in FY 1996

and the Department would like to

ensure that almost as many schools are

funded in FY 1997 as were funded in

FY 1996. However, HUD may still

provide assistance to support a number

of students that is less than the number

requested under an application in order

to provide assistance to as many highly

ranked applications as possible.

D. Threshold

To be eligible for rating and ranking,

an applicant must meet all of the

following threshold requirements:

(1) The application must be filed in

the application form prescribed by

HUD, must not be inconsistent with the

requirements of this NOFA or 24 CFR

570.416, which is published elsewhere

in today’s Federal Register as the HSI–

WSP final rule, and must be physically

received at the appropriate location by

the required due date;

(2) The applicant must demonstrate

that it is eligible to participate in HSI–

WSP, by demonstrating that it is a

public or private nonprofit Hispanicserving Institution offering only twoyear degrees, including degrees in at

least one community building academic

program.

E. Selection Factors (100 Points)

All applications that meet the

threshold requirements will be rated

according to the following selection

factors.

1. Quality of the Academic Program (40

Points)

In rating this factor, HUD will

evaluate:

(i) the quality of the academic

program in terms of the community

building course offerings and academic

requirements for students, including the

likelihood of the academic program to

prepare students to work with the

designated populations in their

community building careers (25 points).

Applicants should describe the specific

courses offered in the academic

program, the populations to be served in

the careers these academic programs

lead to, and how the courses will equip

the students to work with these

designated populations.

(ii) the qualifications of the faculty

members and the percentage of time

they will teach in the academic program

and the qualifications of the academic

supervisor to direct and manage the

program (15 points).

2. Quality of the Proposed Student Work

Placement Assignments (20 Points)

In rating this factor, HUD will

evaluate the extent to which the

participating students will receive a

sufficient number and variety of work

placement assignments that will provide
17500 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 68 / Wednesday, April 9, 1997 / Notices

practical and useful experience and

further the participating students’

preparation for professional careers in

community building. In assessing the

number and variety of assignments,

HUD will consider both the number and

variety of placement sites available to

each student and the number and

variety of work assignments available to

a student working at any site.

3. Likelihood of Fostering Students’

Permanent Post-Graduation

Employment in Community Building or

Transfer to a Four-Year Institution of

Higher Education to Obtain a Bachelor’s

Degree in a Community Building

Academic Discipline (10 Points)

In rating this factor, HUD will

evaluate the extent to which the

institution’s educational program (based

on past experience), including the

assistance it provides to its students in

finding post graduation permanent

employment or transfer to a four-year

institution for a bachelor’s degree in a

community building academic

discipline, has led to career

opportunities in community building

fields.

4. Effectiveness of Program

Administration (20 Points)

In rating this factor, HUD will

evaluate:

(i) the degree to which the Program

Director has clear responsibility, ample

percentage of time, and sufficient

institutional or academic authority to

coordinate the overall administration of

the program; and

(ii) the adequacy of the applicant’s

plan for placing students in work

placement assignments and keeping

track of students during the two-year

academic period and work placement

assignments.

5. Demonstrated Commitment of the

Applicant to Meeting Economically

Disadvantaged and Minority Students’

Needs (10 Points)

In rating this factor, HUD will

evaluate the extent to which the

applicant’s recruitment activities,

special education programs, and other

means, including the provision of

reasonable accommodations for students

with disabilities, demonstrates an

active, aggressive, and imaginative effort

to identify, attract, and retain qualified

minorities and economically

disadvantaged students, including

students with disabilities; and the

extent to which the HSI–WSP award

will not result in a decrease in the

amount of the institution’s own

financial support available for minority

and economically disadvantaged

students, including students with

disabilities, in the academic areas or the

institution as a whole.

F. Application Content and Review

Procedures

Applicants must complete and submit

applications in accordance with

instructions contained in the

application kit, and must include all

certifications, assurances, and budget

information requested in the kit.

Following the expiration of the

application submission deadline, HUD

will review, rate, and rank applications

in a manner consistent with the

procedures described in this Notice and

the provisions of the program

regulations at 24 CFR 570.416, which

are published elsewhere in today’s

Federal Register.

G. Corrections to Deficient Applications

After the submission deadline date,

HUD will screen each application to

determine whether it is complete. If an

application lacks certain technical items

or contains a technical error, such as an

incorrect signatory, HUD will notify the

applicant in writing that it has 14

calendar days from the date of HUD’s

written notification to cure the technical

deficiency. If the applicant fails to

submit the missing material within the

14-day cure period, HUD may disqualify

the application.

This 14-day cure period applies only

to non-substantive deficiencies or

errors. Any deficiency capable of cure

will involve only items not necessary

for HUD to assess the merits of an

application against the factors specified

in this NOFA. Substantive deficiencies

or errors may not be corrected.

H. Final Selection

All applications that are rated will be

rank ordered based on their total scores

on the selection factors. Applications

will be considered for selection based

on their rank order. HUD may make

awards out of rank order to achieve

geographic diversity, and may provide

assistance to support a number of

students that is less than the number

requested under an application in order

to provide assistance to as many highly

ranked applications as possible.

If there is a tie in the point scores of

two applications, the rank order will be

determined by the applicants’ scores on

selection factor (1). The application

with the most points on selection factor

(1) will be given the higher rank. If there

is still a tie, the rank order will be

determined by the applicants’ scores on

selection factor (5). The application

with the most points for selection factor

(5) will be given the higher rank.

I. Findings and Certifications

1. Federalism Impact

The General Counsel, as the

Designated Official under section 6(a) of

Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has

determined that the policies and

procedures contained in this notice will

not have substantial direct effects on

States or their political subdivisions, or

the relationship between the federal

government and the States, or on the

distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. This notice

merely invites applications from certain

institutions of higher education for

grants under the Hispanic-serving

Institutions Work Study Program. As a

result, the notice is not subject to review

under the Order.

2. Impact on the Family

The General Counsel, as the

Designated Official under Executive

Order 12606, The Family, has

determined that this notice will likely

have a beneficial impact on family

formation, maintenance, and general

well-being. This notice invites

applications from certain institutions of

higher education for grants under the

Hispanic-serving Institutions Work

Study Program. Accordingly, since the

impact on the family is beneficial, no

further review is considered necessary.

3. Accountability in the Provision of

HUD Assistance

Section 102 of the Department of

Housing and Urban Development

Reform Act of 1989 (HUD Reform Act)

and the final rule codified at 24 CFR

part 4, subpart A, published on April 1,

1996 (61 FR 1448), contain a number of

provisions that are designed to ensure

greater accountability and integrity in

the provision of certain types of

assistance administered by HUD. On

January 14, 1992, HUD published, at 57

FR 1942, a notice that also provides

information on the implementation of

section 102. The documentation, public

access, and disclosure requirements of

section 102 are applicable to assistance

awarded under this NOFA as follows:

Documentation and public access

requirements. HUD will ensure that

documentation and other information

regarding each application submitted

pursuant to this NOFA are sufficient to

indicate the basis upon which

assistance was provided or denied. This

material, including any letters of

support, will be made available for

public inspection for a five-year period

beginning not less than 30 days after the

award of the assistance. Material will be

made available in accordance with the
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 68 / Wednesday, April 9, 1997 / Notices 17501

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.

552) and HUD’s implementing

regulations at 24 CFR part 15. In

addition, HUD will include the

recipients of assistance pursuant to this

NOFA in its Federal Register notice of

all recipients of HUD assistance

awarded on a competitive basis.

Disclosures. HUD will make available

to the public for five years all applicant

disclosure reports (HUD Form 2880)

submitted in connection with this

NOFA. Update reports (also Form 2880)

will be made available along with the

applicant disclosure reports, but in no

case for a period less than three years.

All reports—both applicant disclosures

and updates—will be made available in

accordance with the Freedom of

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and

HUD’s implementing regulations at 24

CFR part 15.

4. Prohibition Against Advance

Information on Funding Decisions

HUD’s regulation implementing

section 103 of the HUD Reform Act,

codified as 24 CFR part 4, applies to the

funding competition announced today.

The requirements of the rule continue to

apply until the announcement of the

selection of successful applicants.

HUD employees involved in the

review of applications and in the

making of funding decisions are

restrained by part 4 from providing

advance information to any person

(other than an authorized employee or

other authorized representative of HUD)

concerning funding decisions, or from

otherwise giving any applicant an unfair

competitive advantage. Persons who

apply for assistance in this competition

should confine their inquiries to the

subject areas permitted under 24 CFR

part 4.

Applicants or employees who have

ethics related questions should contact

the HUD’s Ethics Law Division (202)

708–3815 (voice), (202) 708–1112

(TTY). (These are not toll-free numbers.)

For HUD employees who have specific

program questions, such as whether

particular subject matter can be

discussed with persons outside the

Department, the employee should

contact the appropriate Field Office

Counsel or Headquarters Counsel for the

program to which the question pertains.

5. Prohibition Against Lobbying

Activities

The use of funds awarded under this

NOFA is subject to the disclosure

requirements and prohibitions of

Section 319 of the Department of

Interior and Related Agencies

Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1990

(31 U.S.C. 1352) and the implementing

regulations at 24 CFR part 87. These

authorities prohibit recipients of Federal

contracts, grants, or loans from using

appropriated funds for lobbying the

Executive or Legislative branches of the

Federal Government in connection with

a specific contract, grant, or loan. The

prohibition also covers the awarding of

contracts, grants, cooperative

agreements, or loans unless the

recipient has made an acceptable

certification regarding lobbying. Under

24 CFR part 87, applicants, recipients,

and subrecipients of assistance

exceeding $100,000 must certify that no

Federal funds have been or will be spent

on lobbying activities in connection

with the assistance. In addition,

applicants subject to the Byrd

Amendment must disclose, using

Standard Form LLL, ‘‘Disclosure of

Lobbying Activities,’’ any funds, other

than federally appropriated funds, that

will be or have been used to influence

federal employees, members of

Congress, and congressional staff

regarding specific grants or contracts.

6. Environmental Review

This NOFA does not direct, provide

for assistance or loan and mortgage

insurance for, or otherwise govern or

regulate property acquisition,

disposition, lease, rehabilitation,

alteration, demolition, or new

construction, or set out or provide for

standards for construction or

construction materials, manufactured

housing, or occupancy. Accordingly,

under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(1), this NOFA is

categorically excluded from

environmental review under the

National Environmental Policy Act of

1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321). In

addition, the provision of assistance

under this NOFA is categorically

excluded from environmental review

under § 50.19(b)(3) and (b)(9).
