17686 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 72 / Thursday, April 16, 2009 / Notices 

Order 13202, entitled ‘‘Preservation of 

Open Competition and Government 

Neutrality Towards Government 

Contractors’ Labor Relations on Federal 

and Federally Funded Construction 

Projects.’’ Specifically, section III.C.4.k. 

at page 79553, third column, provided 

that, ‘‘[c]ompliance with HUD 

regulations at 24 CFR 5.108 that 

implement Executive Order 13202 is a 

condition of receipt of assistance under 

a HUD program NOFA.’’ 

Since publication of the FY2009 

General Section, the President issued 

Executive Order 13502, entitled ‘‘Use of 

Project Labor Agreements for Federal 

Construction Projects.’’ Executive Order 

13502 specifically revokes Executive 

Order 13202. As a result of issuance of 

this Executive Order, the provision in 

HUD’s regulations at 24 CFR 5.108 is no 

longer effective, and compliance with 

these regulations is no longer a 

condition of assistance. Accordingly, 

the provision on project labor 

agreements in the December 29, 2009, 

General Section is not applicable to 

HUD’s FY2009 funding. HUD is, 

therefore, amending its FY2009 General 

Section by removing and reserving 

section III.C.4.k. at page 79553, third 

column. 

III. Change HUD’s Issuance of NOFAs 

Since 1989, HUD has notified the 

public regarding the availability of 

assistance through the publication of the 

NOFA in the Federal Register. Section 

233 of Division I, Title II of the Omnibus 

Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 111– 

8, approved March 11, 2009) authorizes 

HUD, at its discretion, to make its 

NOFAs available on HUD’s official 

government Web site, http:// 

www.hud.gov, or on other appropriate 

government Web sites, as determined by 

HUD. For FY2009, HUD intends to post 

the complete NOFA on the HUD Web 

site. For assistance made available 

through the Recovery Act, HUD will 

post funding notices at http:// 

www.hud.gov/recovery/. For assistance 

made available through the Omnibus 

Appropriations Act, 2009, HUD will 

post NOFAs at http://www.hud.gov/ 

offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm. 

HUD will also post a synopsis of all 

HUD competitive funding opportunities 

at http://www07.grants.gov/applicants/ 

find_grant_opportunities.jsp, along with 

a link to the appropriate HUD Web site. 

In addition, HUD will publish in the 

Federal Register a brief notice 

announcing the availability of NOFAs 

on the HUD Web site. By posting its 

NOFAs on the HUD Web site, HUD 

assistance should be available more 

quickly, and at an Internet location 

more familiar to the majority of the 

public. 

IV. Technical Corrections Regarding 

Registering With CCR 

Today’s publication also makes minor 

technical amendments to instructions 

regarding registering with CCR. Since 

publication of the FY2009 General 

Section, CCR has changed its log-in 

procedures from the use of a Trading 

Partner Identification Number (TPIN) to 

the use of a USER ID and Password. 

Additionally, CCR has changed the 

telephone number and hours of 

operation of its Assistance Center. These 

corrections were made to ensure that 

applicants have updated information 

when registering with CCR. 

Corrections 

1. On page 79556, section IV.B.3.e., 

third column, HUD is correcting this 

section, to read as follows: 

e. Trading Partner Identification Number 

(TPIN). A TPIN is a password that is used to 

access the applicant organization’s Central 

Contractor Registration (CCR) data. 

Organizations that become active in CCR are 

issued a TPIN (password) to access their 

record in order to make, or request, any 

changes or updates to their CCR registration. 

Because of the sensitivity of this data, CCR 

recommends that CCR registrants not 

disclose their TPIN to anyone under any 

circumstances. CCR is changing from use of 

a TPIN to use of a USER ID and Password. 

CCR is notifying registrants of this change 

one month prior to their current registration 

expiration date and providing guidance. CCR 

registrants who are registering for the first 

time, or who are updating their registration 

information, will be required to create a 

USER ID and Password. Please review the 

User Account Guide and Frequently Asked 

Questions (FAQs) found at www.ccr.gov. 

2. On page 79557, section IV.B.4.b.(2), 

second column, HUD is correcting the 

sixth sentence, to read as follows: 

If you need assistance with the CCR 

registration process, you can contact the CCR 

Assistance Center, Monday–Friday (except 

for Federal holidays), from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

eastern time, at 888–227–2423 or 269–961– 

5757. 

Dated: April 7, 2009.

Secretary.
