SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

The information collection

requirements contained in this NOFA

have been approved by the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

review under the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520)

under Number 2502–0485 through 5/31/

97.

Purpose and Substantive Description

A. Authority and Background

(1) Authority

(a) Section 802 of the CranstonGonzalez National Affordable Housing

Act (NAHA) (42 USC 8011) created a

new CHSP.

(b) Section 604 and 672 of the

Housing and Community Development

Act of 1992 amended the CHSP.

(c) A final common rule for the CHSP

is at 59 FR 22220, published on April

29, 1994.

(2) Background

The CHSP was originally authorized

and funded as a demonstration program

under the Congregate Housing Services

Act of 1978 (1978 Act) (42 USC 8001).

It provided congregate housing and

coordinated supportive services for

elderly handicapped or non-elderly

handicapped individuals to allow them

to maintain their independence and

avoid costly and unnecessary

institutionalization. Congress

appropriated funds for Fiscal Years

1979 through 1982, to remain available

until expended. Since then, Congress

has provided funds on an annual basis

to continue funding grantees that

previously received assistance. The

demonstration became a permanent

program in 1987.

Based upon the experience of the

grantees funded under the

demonstration, Congress created a new

CHSP as one of the components of

NAHA, which was enacted on

November 28, 1990 and amended in

1992. HUD, in coordination with the

Rural Housing and Community

Development Service (RHCDS) of the

Department of Agriculture, administers

the CHSP under a Common Rule in

accordance with the statute. This Notice

announces the availability of both HUD

and RHCDS funds for the CHSP and

invites applications from both HUD and

RHCDS applicants.

The CHSP is a program with two

components: a retrofit and renovation

component which has not yet been

implemented and a supportive services

component. Retrofitting and renovation

of facilities are not eligible for funding

under this NOFA.

Funds are available under the

supportive services component for fiveyear, renewable, congregate services

grants for frail elderly persons, persons

with disabilities, and temporarily

disabled individuals living in eligible

housing for the elderly. The program

serves as a means of preventing
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 1995 / Notices 25093

unnecessary institutionalization and

encouraging deinstitutionalization of

those potentially eligible residents who

do not need an institutionalized setting.

It also improves the capacity of

management to assess the supportive

service needs of eligible residents, and

to either ensure the coordination and

delivery of supportive services from

third party providers or provide the

services directly in order to meet the

minimum needs of eligible residents.

HUD and RHCDS are interested in

using the services funds in the most

cost-efficient manner. Thus, a number of

program items are highlighted. Both

Departments continue to:

(a) stress the service coordination/

case management aspects of the program

by making the service coordinator a

clearly mandated function, whether

funded wholly or in part by CHSP, or

funded by a third party. (The more

coordinators that are funded, the larger

the number of projects whose residents

will ultimately benefit from supportive

services in the community.)

(b) focus on projects nearly fully

occupied. (Occupied projects more

readily are able to plan programs for

existing needs and get them operational

in the most effective manner and the

shortest time. Thus, CHSP is offered this

year only to projects which are at least

85 percent occupied as of the date of the

CHSP application to HUD.)

(c) clarify the meals requirement.

While the current requirement that each

CHSP provide at least one hot meal per

day in a group setting for some or all of

the participants who are assessed as

needing such assistance is not changed,

additional meals can be available for

frail elderly or non-elderly disabled

participants who are assessed with a

need for them. Such additional meals

can be either hot or cold and may be

home delivered.

The CHSP will ensure the long-term

provision of supportive services in a

manner which insures the program

participant’s freedom of choice and

which respects the dignity of the

persons served. It will also provide

readily available and efficient services

with emphasis on providing only those

services minimally necessary to

maintain independent living, but

maintaining a continuum of support for

individual program participants over

time.

B. Allocation Amounts

The Departments of Veterans Affairs

and Housing and Urban Development,

and Independent Agencies

Appropriations Act, 1994 (P.L. 103–124)

appropriated $25,000,000 in FY 1994.

Approximately $18,700,000 of these

funds remained after the FY 1994

competition and the refunding of the 52

existing grantees through July 12, 1997.

Additionally, the Departments of

Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban

Development, and Independent

Agencies Appropriations Act, 1995 (P.L.

103–327) made available $25,000,000

for the CHSP, all of which is included

in this NOFA. Up to $6,267,000 will be

used to correct extensions and provide

further extensions to pre-1992 grantees.

Together with carryover funds,

$38,480,150 is available for new grants.

In consultation with RHCDS, the dollars

are allocated as follows:

—Approximately 20 percent

($7,696,030) of the total funds are

available to applicants with RHCDS

projects.

—The remainder, approximately 80

percent ($30,784,120) is for applicants

with HUD projects.

1. HUD Projects

Applicants for HUD projects may

apply for grants from the available

$30,784,120. The formula for the HUD

allocation is stated below:

a. Compute the total number of

section 8 New Construction/substantial

rehabilitation elderly, Section 202,

section 221(d) elderly, section 236

elderly and PIH/IHA elderly units in

each geographic area for the nation as a

whole.

b. Calculate the proportion of the

national total represented by each

geographic area’s share.

c. Divide the available dollars

proportionally in accordance with the

geographic area’s share of the elderly

housing inventory, as follows:

Geographic area No. of units Dollars Percentage

New England ...................................................................................................................................... 102,257 $2,770,571 9

New York/New Jersey ........................................................................................................................ 127,124 3,386,253 11

Total ......................................................................................................................................... 1,175,235 30,784,120 *100

*Percentages are rounded to equal 100%.

The funds for the CHSP will be

awarded by HUD through 10

geographical area competitions, in

which applicants are selected to receive

supportive services grants by HUD. The

funding process is further described in

Section II of this NOFA.

2. RHCDS Projects

Applicants for RHCDS projects may

apply for grants from the available

$7,696,030.

The funds for the CHSP will be

awarded by RHCDS through a national

competition, in which applicants are

selected to receive supportive services

grants by RHCDS Headquarters. HUD

will fund the grants, and administer

them with RHCDS assistance. The

funding process is further described in

Section II. of this NOFA.

C. Packaging of Applications

Applications must be submitted on

the basis of ‘‘one application—one

project.’’ A HUD PHA/IHA project is

defined either by number or by distinct

building name; HUD Multifamily and

RHCDS projects are defined by a project

number and/or a Section 8 contract
25096 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 1995 / Notices

number. The applicant’s portion of the

application submission is ‘‘Part A’’ and

the project’s portion of the application

with project and program information is

‘‘Part B.’’

RHCDS applicants must submit an

original ‘‘Part A and one or more Part

Bs’’ to RHCDS Headquarters; a copy of

each Part A and Part B must be

submitted to the appropriate RHCDS

State Offices.

An applicant submitting one

application for one project only must

submit one Part A and one Part B. (For

example, the Smalltown Housing and

Redevelopment Authority submits one

application for one project ‘‘Pleasant

Valley Towers’’ to the HUD Omaha

State Office. That application must

contain one Part A and one Part B.)

Applicants submitting applications

for multiple projects must submit a

separate application for each project, in

each jurisdiction in which it is

submitting applications.

However, for multiple applications

from the same applicant in the same

jurisdiction, only one copy of Part A is

submitted. Thus, an applicant

submitting three applications in one

jurisdiction must submit one Part A and

three Part Bs (e.g., the North Carolina

Office on Aging is submitting three

applications for three HUD projects to

the HUD Greensboro Office. It submits

one Part A to that office, with a Part B

for each of the three separate projects.)

However, if an applicant is submitting

applications to more than one HUD

State or Area Office or RHCDS State

Office or to both HUD and RHCDS, it

must submit one ‘‘Part A’’ and the

appropriate number of ‘‘Part Bs’’ in each

jurisdiction. For example, the Ohio

Office of Aging is submitting two

applications for two HUD projects to the

Cleveland HUD Office, one application

for one HUD project to the Columbus

HUD Office and one RHCDS application

to the RHCDS Columbus State office. An

original Part A must be submitted to

each of the three Offices, with two Part

Bs to the Cleveland Office, one Part B

to the HUD Columbus Office and one

Part B to the RHCDS Columbus Office.

Each Part A and each Part B must be

in separate folders. Each Part must be

appropriately tabbed and numbered

according to the instructions in the

Application Package.

D. Submission of Applications

1. Submission of Applications to HUD

All applicants shall submit an original

and three copies (a FAX copy of the

application is NOT acceptable) of the

CHSP application to the Director of

Multifamily Housing in the HUD State

or Area Office which has jurisdiction

over the project at the address noted in

Attachment 1 of the NOFA by 3 P.M.,

Local Time, on or before July 10, 1995.

In the case of IHAs, the submission is

to the Director of Multifamily Housing

in the HUD State or Area Office in

which is located the Office of Native

American Programs which has

jurisdiction over that project. The

deadline date is firm as to date and

hour.

In the interest of fairness to all

applicants requesting CHSP funds, HUD

will treat as ineligible for consideration

any request which is received after the

deadline.

Applicants making requests for CHSP

funds should take this practice into

account and make early submission of

their materials to avoid any risk of lost

eligibility brought about by

unanticipated delivery-related

problems.

Applications received after the date

and time stated herein will not be

accepted, and will be returned to the

applicant.

Each application package must be

identified on the envelope or wrapper as

follows:

Director of Housing/Director of

Multifamily CHSP FY 1995 Application

Package, Due by 3 P.M., Local Time,

July 10, 1995.

Determination whether an application

is received in a timely manner is solely

the responsibility of the receiving HUD

State or Area Office.

2. Submission of Applications to

RHCDS

All applicants shall submit an original

and TWO copies (a FAX copy of the

application is NOT acceptable) of the

CHSP application to RHCDS

Headquarters by 3 P.M., Eastern

Daylight Time, on or before July 10,

1995. The deadline date is firm as to

date and hour. The address is: U.S.

Department of Agriculture, Rural

Housing and Community Development

Service, Attn: Sue M. Harris-Green,

South Building, Room 5343, 14th and

Independence Avenue SW.,

Washington, DC 20250.

One copy of the application must also

be submitted to the RHCDS State Office

which has jurisdiction over the project.

In the interest of fairness to all

applicants requesting CHSP funds, the

RHCDS will treat as ineligible for

consideration any request which is

received by RHCDS Headquarters after

the deadline.

Applicants making requests for CHSP

funds should take this practice into

account and make early submission of

their materials to avoid any risk of lost

eligibility brought about by

unanticipated delivery-related

problems.

Applications received after the date

and time stated herein will not be

accepted, and will be returned to the

applicant.

Each application package must be

identified on the envelope or wrapper as

follows:

CHSP FY 1995 Application Package,

Due by 3 P.M., Eastern Daylight Time

July 10, 1995.

Determination whether an application

is received in a timely manner is solely

the responsibility of RHCDS

Headquarters. The decision of that

Office is not subject to appeal.

E. Eligibility Review

HUD State and Area Office/RHCDS

State Office staff will review all timely

applications for eligibility. Both

applicants and projects will be reviewed

to determine that the applicant entity

and the project included in the

application, if different, are eligible

under the terms of this NOFA and the

common rule to participate in the FY

1995 CHSP.

Applicants must submit a copy of

their charter or by-laws as evidence of

their legal status and of their authority

to run a CHSP, or evidence of non-profit

status as a local non-profit housing

sponsor. Applicants that are applying as

local non-profit housing sponsors or

PHA/IHAs must ALSO submit proof of

ownership of the project submitted in

the application.

Applicants must also submit proof of

project eligibility. The regulatory

agreement or the HAP contract may be

submitted as evidence of the project’s

eligibility.

All documentation of eligibility or

ownership must have been executed

and dated on or before the application

deadline.

Eligibility will also include

determination that the application was

submitted to the appropriate HUD or

RHCDS Office.

Applicants and/or projects which are

not eligible or have been submitted to

the incorrect HUD State or Area Office/

RHCDS State Office will be rejected and

so notified by the appropriate office at

this time. Applications which pass

eligibility review will proceed to

threshold/technical deficiency review. If

eligibility material is missing, it will be

treated as a deficiency, subject to

Sections II.F(4) and III below.

F. Threshold and Technical Deficiency

Review

1. General: HUD State or Area Offices/

RHCDS Headquarters staff will review
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 1995 / Notices 25097

applications for threshold and technical

acceptability concurrently.

2. First, each application will be

checked for completeness. Any

application missing three or more

exhibits other than certifications will be

rejected by the HUD State or Area

Office/RHCDS Headquarters, with the

applicant being notified.

3. Second, the applications will be

checked for threshold eligibility. During

this review, an applicant (or project in

the case of an application from a

governmental jurisdiction) will be

rejected if:

a. The project is not 85 percent

occupied;

b. It has not met the match

requirement (i.e., there is a lack of clear

and documented evidence of a

commitment for funds equal to no less

than 50 percent for the supportive

services from the applicant or project

owners, or from third party providers,

for the first year of the five-year grant).

Indicators of clear and documented

evidence are: (i) there is a separate

match letter on letterhead of the

provider of the matching funds; (ii)

match letters show committed dollar

levels at least equal to the dollar level

in the first year budget; (iii) the match

items provided are firm commitments

not contingent upon any other action

(e.g., state or county legislation, board of

directors or local county legislation/

approval); and (iv) for match other than

in-kind (see 59 FR 22220, published

April 29, 1994, sections

700.235(d)(2)(iii) or 1944.260(d)(2)(iii)),

the required certification for new or

expanded services is included.

c. It has not submitted a participant

fee-collection plan that proposes to

collect at least 10 percent of the cost of

the CHSP (up to 20 percent of the

adjusted incomes of the participants or

the cost of providing the services,

whichever is less).

d. The proposal includes a retrofit or

renovation component in the budget

subject to section 802(a)(2) of the Act.

e. The meals program does not

provide at least one hot meal a day in

a group setting SEVEN days a week, for

some or all of the participants. (The

meals program may be an existing

program; it may be funded fully or in

part with funds other than the CHSP.)

f. A service coordinator is NOT

included as part of the services program.

(The coordinator may be paid fully or in

part from funds other than the CHSP.)

g. There is:

—a pending civil rights suit against the

applicant (or project owner, if

different) brought by the Department

of Justice;

—an outstanding finding of noncompliance as a result of formal

administrative proceedings under any

of the statutes, regulations, or other

requirements listed in the civil rights

certification, unless the applicant is

operating under a HUD-approved

compliance agreement designed to

correct the area(s) of noncompliance,

or, in cases of noncompliance with

state or local statutes, regulations or

other requirements, is operating under

a compliance agreement approved by

the appropriate state or local agency

designed to correct the area(s) of noncompliance.

—a charge issued by the Secretary

concerned against the applicant (or

project owner, if different) under

Section 810(g) of the Fair Housing Act

as implemented by 24 CFR 103.400.

—a pending denial of application

processing by HUD or by RHCDS

under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act

of 1964, under the Attorney General’s

guidelines (28 CFR 50.3), or the HUD

Title VI regulations (24 CFR 1.8) and

procedures (HUD Handbook 8040.1),

or under Section 504 of the

Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the

HUD Section 504 regulations (24 CFR

8.57); or,

—an adjudication adverse to the

applicant (or the project owner, if

different) of a civil rights violation in

a civil action brought against it under

any of the statutes, regulations or

other requirements listed in the civil

rights certification, unless the sponsor

is operating in compliance with a

court order designed to correct the

area(s) of noncompliance.

h. There exist serious, unaddressed or

outstanding Inspector General audit

findings or HUD Headquarters/State or

Area Office/RHCDS State Office

management monitoring review findings

for any of the applicant’s (or project’s,

if different) ongoing management

operations or in connection with its

administration of existing grants;

i. There exist serious, unaddressed or

outstanding Inspector General audit

findings or HUD Headquarters/State or

Area Office/RHCDS State Office FH&EO

monitoring review findings for any of

the applicant’s (or project’s, if different)

ongoing management operations or in

connection with its administration of

existing grants; or,

j. The applicant (or project owner, if

different) is involved with litigation

which could seriously jeopardize its

ability to administer the CHSP.

If an applicant (or project within an

application) is determined to be the

subject of a rejection on the basis of one

or more of the above criteria, the HUD

State or Area Office or RHCDS

Headquarters staff shall reject the

application; the review cannot be

completed nor the application scored.

If the applicant agency is a

governmental jurisdiction supporting

one or more projects in multiple

applications and the applicant agency is

rejected, all projects submitted by that

applicant agency will be disqualified.

However, any individual project may be

rejected without disqualifying the

applicant agency, if it is a different legal

entity. For example, ‘‘River Homes’’ (a

section 202 project) and ‘‘Tower House’’

(a section 236 project) are the two

projects in two applications submitted

by the Westchester County, NY, Area

Agency on Aging. ‘‘River House’’ is

rejected for insufficient match. As the

project is a different legal entity than the

applicant, the other application

submitted by that same applicant may

still be processed.

All applicants whose application(s)

have been rejected by HUD State or Area

Offices or RHCDS Headquarters will be

notified that they have been rejected, in

writing, at the time the decision to reject

is made.

4. Third, applicants will be reviewed

for technical completeness (deficiency

review).

During the technical review process,

if HUD or RHCDS determines that an

application is missing up to two

exhibits (other than certifications), or

has certain technical deficiencies, the

applicant will be given 14 calendar days

from the date of written notification in

which to correct such deficiencies.

The purpose of this process is to assist

an applicant in completing a fundable

proposal, and not to provide an

opportunity for an application to be

substantively improved, once it has

been submitted. Curable, technical

deficiencies relate to submission of a

limited number of missing items,

submission of items that are not

necessary for HUD review under

threshold review or selection criteria/

ranking factors, e.g., a missing

certification, inadvertent blank spot in

certain forms and certifications or

missing signature; substantive items for

which information exists elsewhere in

the application showing that the items

have been created (e.g., an annual first

year budget summary is missing, but

there are sufficient program budgets to

determine what the annual budget is; or

revision of match letters to include

missing data, when the amount of

resources is clearly indicated); or,

missing match letters in certain

instances (see next paragraph).

Submission of missing items or

correction of technical deficiencies does

not allow additional time to complete,
25098 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 1995 / Notices

amend or correct the application to

overcome any substantive defects in the

original submission. Thus, missing

match letters, or corrected match letters

adding the required certification of new

or expanded qualifying resources must

be submitted together with proof that

the match was available to the applicant

on or before the application deadline

(e.g., copy of dated Board resolution

approving the allocation of the match

dollars). Also, missing documents

dealing with applicant or project

eligibility (e.g., articles of incorporation)

must be dated on or before the

application deadline date.

The HUD State or Area Office or

RHCDS Headquarters will request

documents as necessary to correct

technical deficiencies in any CHSP

application. (A FAX copy of an original

document may NOT be submitted to

meet any technical deficiency correction

request.) A response to a letter request

from HUD or RHCDS to an applicant for

correction of technical deficiencies must

be received by the requesting HUD State

or Area Office/RHCDS Headquarters, by

3:00 P.M., Local Time on the 14th

calendar day following the date on the

request letter to the applicant. This

means (for example) that if the

deficiency letter to the applicant is

dated July 30, 1995, the response must

be received by 3:00 P.M., Local Time, in

the HUD State or Area Office or RHCDS

Headquarters on August 13, 1995.

Information provided after 3:00 P.M. on

the fourteenth day of the correction

period will be rejected as nonresponsive. In any such situation, the

application, or the appropriate project,

will be rejected.

All applicants are encouraged to

review the Table of Contents provided

in the application package. The Table of

Contents identifies all technical exhibits

needed for application processing.

Filling in the appropriate page number

indicates that the exhibit has been

prepared.

5. HUD/RHCDS reserves the right to

reduce the amount of funding requested

in any application. Examples of reasons

to reduce initial funding requests during

HUD State or Area Office/RHCDS

Headquarters review include, but are

not limited to:

(a) Activities proposed in any project

are not eligible or not approved by HUD

or RHCDS; (b) HUD or RHCDS

determines that the cost of any

particular component of a proposed

program is more than necessary to make

the activity feasible; and, (c) the cost of

the grant is reduced to meet the funding

limits of Section I.C(5).

Reductions may take place in the

State or Area Offices as part of the

review process.

6. Once threshold and technical

reviews have been completed, HUD

State or Area Offices, or the RHCDS

Headquarters (as appropriate) will score

all selection criteria.

HUD State or Area Offices will rankorder all applications by score and

submit the scores and other required

information to HUD Headquarters.

G. Final Selection

1. All eligible applications, other than

those noted as rejects, will be rankordered by score in either the RHCDS

Headquarters or by HUD Headquarters,

within the geographic areas.

2. Final Reductions in Funding Within

Applications

HUD/RHCDS reserves the right to

additionally reduce the amount of

funding requested in any application at

time of selection to reduce the cost of

the grant to meet the funding limits of

Section I.C(5).

Reductions may also take place after

selection and announcement of award,

as part of final negotiations.

3. Ranking of Projects

a. Ranking of RHCDS Projects

RHCDS Headquarters will select

applicants by rank-order until all CHSP

funds allocated have been exhausted. If

there is more than one unfunded

application at the next-highest score (in

a tie) and there are insufficient funds to

cover both, funding will be decided

subject to section II.F.4, below. Further

selections will be made until any

residual funds are insufficient to fund

another RHCDS project.

If there is a residual amount after all

eligible applications in rank order are

funded, the next application(s) on the

list which contain funding requests

above the level of the residual may be

skipped over to reach a fundable project

lower down on the list which is within

the level of the residual amount. The

first remaining fundable but unfunded

project on the list which is within the

residual limit must be funded, as well

as any subsequent projects which are

still within any remaining residual.

If funds remain available after ranking

all the approvable RHCDS projects,

these funds will be utilized by HUD

Headquarters for reallocation to HUD

projects which were approvable but

unfunded (see subsection II.G(3)(b),

below). The RHCDS Headquarters

reserves the right to reduce any

proposed amount of CHSP funds

requested.

b. Ranking of HUD projects

HUD Headquarters will integrate all

scored applications within each

designated geographic area by rankorder and select applicants in score

order in each geographic area until the

funds allotted to that geographic area

are exhausted.

If there is more than one unfunded

application at the next-highest score (in

a tie) and there are insufficient funds to

cover both, funding will be decided

subject to section II.G.4, below. Further

selections will be made until any

residual funds are insufficient to fund

another HUD project.

If there is a residual amount after

most eligible applications are funded in

rank order, the next application(s) on

the list which contain funding requests

above the level of the residual may be

skipped over to reach a fundable project

lower down on the list which is within

the level of the residual amount. The

first remaining fundable but unfunded

project on the list which is within the

residual limit must be funded, as well

as any subsequent projects which are

still within any remaining residual.

If there are excess funds in one or

more geographic areas, Headquarters

will fund in score order additional

eligible but unfunded projects from

other geographic areas in which there

were too many projects to fund from

within the initial allocation, consistent

with Section II.G(4), below.

If there are insufficient fundable

applications, any excess funds will be

made available to approvable but

unfunded RHCDS applicants.

4. Tie Scores

In the event of a tie score among the

last-to-be-considered applications in

either RHCDS Headquarters or in a HUD

geographic area allocation, the

application that scores higher on

Selection Criteria Numbers b, f, g, and

i will be selected, if that application is

within the limits of the remaining

dollars or can be so modified. If there is

still a tie score among two or more

applications, one of the tied

applications will be selected by lottery.

5. Multi-project Grants

HUD and RHCDS reserve the right to

aggregate into one grant award multiple

applications from a single applicant in

any jurisdiction.

6. Self-Monitoring

HUD and RHCDS reserve the right to

require self-monitoring of those

applications approved for States, Indian

tribes and units of general local

government (NOT PHA/IHAs). In such

cases, HUD/RHCDS will add an amount
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 1995 / Notices 25099

equal to one percent of the total HUD

grant approved, for monitoring costs,

under which certain responsibilities

will be delegated to that agency subject

to 24 CFR 700.325 or 7 CFR 1944.270.

As this is a HUD or RHCDS-directed

add-on, it may bring the total award

granted to more than the limit stated in

section I.C(5).

7. Excess Funds

In the event that funds still remain

after completion of the selection

process, such funds will be allotted to

the HUD Headquarters Reserve Fund,

subject to 59 FR 22220 (sections 700.405

or 1944.278), published on April 29,

1994.

H. Awarding of Grants

Once selections are made, the HUD

State or Area Offices will issue funding

letters to selected applicants. Each

applicant must sign and return the letter

within the indicated time period to

signify acceptance of the award.

Subsequent to receipt of the signed

acceptance, HUD State or Area Offices

or RHCDS Headquarters, as appropriate,

will negotiate the final terms, conditions

and amount of the grant with the

selected applicant. Once agreement is

reached on all issues, a grant award will

be prepared and sent to the applicant for

signature by the HUD State or Area

Office. Once the signed grant award is

returned to HUD, it will be executed by

an appropriate HUD Official.

III. Checklist of Application

Submission Requirements

The checklist specifies the required

information that must be submitted as

part of an application, and identifies

those materials necessary to pass

eligibility and threshold requirements.

Other items including forms and

certifications may be corrected during

the technical deficiency correction

period, subject to Section II.F(4) of this

Notice.

The Checklist is the Table of Contents

in the application package; the check is

done by filling in the appropriate

application page number in the blank

space.

IV. Other Matters

A. Environmental Impact

A Finding of No Significant Impact

with respect to the environment has

been made in accordance with HUD

regulations at 24 CFR part 50, which

implement section 102(2)(C) of the

National Environmental Policy Act of

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332). The Finding is

available for public inspection between

7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. weekdays in the

Office of the Rules Docket Clerk, Office

of the General Counsel, Department of

Housing and Urban Development, Room

10276, 451 Seventh Street, SW,

Washington, DC 20410.

B. Family Executive Order

The General Counsel of HUD, as the

Designated Official under Executive

order 12606, The Family, has

determined that the policies contained

in this NOFA will have some significant

impact on the maintenance and general

well-being of families. The revised

CHSP can be expected to provide

supportive services which can prevent

or postpone unnecessary or premature

institutionalization, and reduce

unnecessary stress and financial

burdens on participants’ families by

allowing them to remain in their

apartments. Because the impact on

family concerns is wholly beneficial, no

further review under the executive order

is considered necessary.

C. Federalism Executive Order

The General Counsel of HUD, as the

Designated Official under section 6(a) of

the Executive order 12612, Federalism,

has determined that the policies

contained in this NOFA do not have

Federalism implications, and, thus, are

not subject to review under the order.

These guidelines are limited to

providing the procedures under which

HUD would make rental assistance

available to applicants under a program

designed to provide housing assistance

and supportive services to frail elderly

individuals. The program involves

intergovernmental cooperation, but in

no manner will involve federal

incursion upon local or state decision

making, or the administration of local or

state law.

D. Section 102 of the HUD Reform Act—

Accountability in the Provision of HUD

Assistance

1. Documentation and Public Access

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

thirty days after the award for

assistance. Material 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. 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. (See 24

CFR 12.14(a) and 12.16(b) and the

notice published in the Federal Register

on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942) for

further information on these

requirements.)

2. Disclosures

HUD will make available to the public

for five years all applicant disclosure

reports (form HUD–2880) submitted in

connection with this NOFA. Update

reports (also form HUD–2880) will be

made available along with the applicant

disclosure reports, but in no case for a

period of less than three years. All

reports—both applicant disclosures and

updates—will be made available in

accordance with the Freedom of

Information Act (95 U.S.C. 552) and

HUD’s implementing regulations at 24

CFR part 15. (See 24 CFR part 12,

subpart C, and the notice published in

the Federal Register on January 16,

1992 (57 FR 1942) for further

information on disclosure

requirements.)

3. Subsidy-Layering Determinations

24 CFR 12.52 requires HUD to certify

that the amount of HUD assistance is

not more than necessary to make the

assisted activity feasible after taking into

account other government assistance.

HUD will make the decision with

respect to each certification available

free of charge, for a three-year period.

(See the notice published in the Federal

Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR

1942) and the guidelines published in

the Federal Register on February 25,

1994 (59 FR 9332) for further

information on this certification.)

Additional information about

applications, HUD certifications and

assistance adjustments, both before

assistance is provided or subsequently

are to be made under the Freedom of

Information Act (24 CFR part 15).

E. Section 103 of the HUD Reform Act—

Prohibition of Advance Disclosures of

Funding Decisions

HUD’s regulation implementing

section 103 of the Reform Act was

published on May 13, 1991 (56 FR

22088) and became effective on June 12,

1991. That regulation, 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. Also,

refer to (58 FR 61016), a final rule

amending part 4 regarding the

regulations of certain conduct by HUD

employees and by applicants for HUD

assistance during the selection process
25100 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 1995 / Notices

for the award of financial assistance by

HUD.

HUD and RHCDS 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 of

HUD or RHCDS) 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 who have questions

should contact the HUD Office of Ethics

(202) 708–3815. (This is not a toll-free

number.) The Office of Ethics can

provide information of a general nature

to HUD employees, as well. However, a

HUD or RHCDS employee who has

specific program questions, such as

whether particular subject matter can be

discussed with persons outside the

Department, should contact his or her

State or Area Office Counsel, or

Headquarters counsel for the program to

which the question pertains.

F. Section 112 of the HUD Reform Act

Section 13 of the Department of

Housing and Urban Development Act

(section 112 of the Reform Act) contains

two provisions dealing with efforts to

influence HUD’s decisions with respect

to financial assistance. The first imposes

disclosure requirements on those who

are typically involved in these efforts—

those who pay others to influence the

award of assistance or the taking of a

management action by the Department

and those who are paid to provide the

influence. The second restricts the

payment of fees to those who are paid

to influence the award of HUD

assistance, if the fees are tied to the

number of housing units received or are

based on the amount of assistance

received, or if they are contingent upon

the receipt of assistance.

Section 13 was implemented by final

rule published in the Federal Register

on May 17, 1991 (56 FR 22912), as 24

CFR part 86. If readers are involved in

any efforts to influence the Department

in these ways, they are urged to read the

final rule, particularly the examples

contained in Appendix A of the rule.

Any questions regarding the rule

should be directed to: Acting Director,

Office of Ethics, room 2158, Department

of Housing and Urban Development,

451 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington,

D.C. 20410. Telephone: (202) 708–3815;

TDD: (202) 708–1112. (These are not

toll-free numbers.) Forms necessary for

compliance with the rule may be

obtained from the local HUD Office.

G. 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 and 7 CFR part 1944,

Subpart G, applicants, recipients, and a

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.

Indian Housing Authorities (IHAs)

established by an Indian tribe as a result

of the exercise of the tribe’s sovereign

power are excluded from coverage of the

Byrd Amendment, but IHAs established

under State law are not excluded from

the statute’s coverage.

IHAs established by an Indian tribe as

a result of the tribe’s sovereign power

are excluded from coverage of the Byrd

Amendment, but IHAs established

under State law are NOT excluded from

the Statute’s coverage.

Required Reporting

A certification is required at the time

application for funds is made that

Federally appropriated funds are not

being or have not been used in violation

of section 319 and the disclosure will be

made of payments for lobbying with

other than federally appropriated funds.

Also, there is a standard disclosure

form, SF–LLL, ‘‘Disclosure Form to

Report Lobbying’’, which must be used

to disclose lobbying with other than

Federally appropriated funds at the time

of application.
