The Public Health Service (PHS) 

strongly encourages all grant and 

contract recipients to provide a smokefree workplace and promote the non-use 

of all tobacco products. In addition, 

Public Law 103–227, the Pro-Children 

Act of 1994, prohibits smoking in 

certain facilities (or in some cases, any 

portion of the facility) in which regular 

or routine education, library, day care, 

health care or early childhood 

development services are provided to 

children. This is consistent with the 

HHS mission to protect and advance the 

physical and mental health of the 

American people.

[Docket No. FR–5300–N–01A] 

Notice of HUD’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 

Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) 

Policy Requirements and General 

Section to HUD’s FY2009 NOFAs for 

Discretionary Programs; Amendment 

to Application Submission 

Requirements and Other Technical 

Corrections 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice of HUD’s FY2009 NOFA 

Policy Requirements and General 

Section to HUD’s FY2009 NOFAs for 

Discretionary Grant Programs; 

amendments and technical corrections. 

SUMMARY: On December 29, 2008, HUD 

published its Notice of Fiscal Year (FY) 

2009 Notice of Funding Availability 

(NOFA); Policy Requirements and 

General Section to HUD’s FY2009 

NOFAs for Discretionary Programs 

(General Section). As in years past, 

HUD’s FY2009 General Section provides 

the policy requirements applicable to all 

of the NOFAs that HUD will publish in 

FY2009. The General Section also 

provides important information 

regarding the application submission 

requirements. In the December 29, 2008, 

General Section, HUD noted that 

applicants would continue to be 

required to submit their applications 

electronically through Grants.gov. 

Today’s publication amends this 

requirement to provide that application 

submission requirements will be 

provided in the individual program 

NOFAs that HUD will publish 

throughout FY2009. Today’s publication 

also amends the December 29, 2008, 

General Section to reflect Executive 

Order 13502, entitled ‘‘Use of Project 

Labor Agreements for Federal 

Construction Projects.’’ Finally, today’s 

publication announces changes in how 

HUD will notify the public of the 

issuances of NOFAs and makes minor 

technical corrections to instructions 

regarding registration with the Central 

Contractor Registration (CCR). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information regarding HUD’s 

FY2009 General Section, contact the 

Office of Departmental Grants 

Management and Oversight, Office of 

Administration, Department of Housing 

and Urban Development, 451 7th Street, 

SW., Room 3156, Washington, DC 

20410–5000; telephone number 202– 

708–0667. This is not a toll-free number. 

Persons with hearing or speech 

impairments may access this number 

via TTY by calling the Federal 

Information Relay Service at 800–877– 

8339. Questions regarding the 

submission of applications or specific 

program requirements should be 

directed to the agency contacts 

identified in each program NOFA. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 29, 2008, HUD published its 

FY2009 NOFAs General Section (73 FR 

79548). HUD’s FY2009 General Section 

outlines the threshold, civil rights, and 

other requirements applicable to all of 

the NOFAs that HUD will publish in 

FY2009. HUD’s General Section also 

establishes application submission 

requirements. 

I. Amendment to Application 

Submission Requirements 

In the December 29, 2008, General 

Section, HUD stated that, ‘‘HUD would 

continue to require that applicants 

submit their applications electronically 

through Grants.gov’’ (page 79548). Since 

publication of the FY2009 General 

Section, the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) has requested that 

agencies identify alternative methods of 

accepting grant applications, in order to 

ensure that assistance made available 

through the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009, (Pub. L. 111– 

5, enacted February 17, 2009) (the 

Recovery Act) can be effectively 

distributed with minimal disruptions. 

Based on this request, HUD has 

reviewed the application submission 

requirements outlined in the FY2009 

General Section and has determined it 

will allow additional methods for 

applicants to submit applications. 

Moreover, in order to provide HUD’s 

program offices the maximum flexibility 

regarding developing alternative 

methods of accepting grant applications, 

HUD has determined that application 

submission requirements will be stated 

in the individual program NOFAs that 

HUD will publish throughout FY2009. 

Potential applicants are, therefore, 

directed to rely on application 

submission instructions provided in the 

program NOFA for which they seek 

funding for information. Specifically, 

each program NOFA will establish 

deadline dates and times and advise 

whether applicants will be required to 

submit their applications electronically 

or in paper form. The NOFA will also 

establish receipt requirements, should it 

provide for the submission of paper 

applications. Accordingly, HUD is 

amending its FY2009 General Section 

by removing and reserving Section 

IV.C., entitled ‘‘Receipt Dates and 

Times,’’ beginning at page 79565, first 

column. 

Since the establishment of the 

application submission requirements in 

each program NOFA is a significant 

departure from HUD’s prior practice, 

HUD encourages applicants to carefully 

read the program NOFA for which they 

intend to apply. Questions regarding the 

submission of applications may be 

directed to the agency contacts 

identified in each program NOFA, with 

sufficient time to permit receipt of your 

application by the deadline date 

established in the NOFA.
