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), under

section 3504(h) of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501–

3520), and assigned OMB Control

Number 2502–0267.

I. Purpose and Substantive Description

A. Authority

Section 801 of the Cranston-Gonzalez

National Affordable Housing Act

(NAHA) (Pub. L. 101–625, approved

November 28, 1990), amended section

202 of the Housing Act of 1959 (12

U.S.C. 1701q). Section 202 was also

amended by the Housing and

Community Development Act of 1992

(HCD Act of 1992) (Pub. L. 102–550,

approved October 28, 1992). The

Secretary is authorized to provide

assistance to private nonprofit

organizations and nonprofit consumer

cooperatives to expand the supply of

supportive housing for the elderly. HUD

provides the assistance as capital

advances and contracts for project rental

assistance in accordance with 24 CFR

part 889. This assistance may be used to

finance the construction or

rehabilitation of a structure, or

acquisition of a structure from the

Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), to

be used as supportive housing for the

elderly in accordance with part 889.

For supportive housing for the

elderly, the Departments of Veterans

Affairs and Housing and Urban

Development, and Independent

Agencies Appropriations Act, 1995

(Pub. L. 103–327, approved September

28, 1994) (Fiscal Year 1995

Appropriations Act) provides

$1,279,000,000 for capital advances,

including amendments to capital

advance contracts (not procurement

contracts), for housing for the elderly as

authorized by section 202 of the

Housing Act of 1959, (as amended by

the NAHA and HCD Act of 1992), and

for project rental assistance, and

amendments to contracts for project

rental assistance, for supportive housing

for the elderly under section 202(c)(2) of

the Housing Act of 1959, as amended.

The Fiscal Year 1995 Appropriations

Act further provides that $22,000,000 of

the above total shall be for service

coordinators pursuant to section 202(q)

of the Housing Act of 1959, as amended,

and subtitle E of title VI of the Housing

and Community Development Act of

1992, other than section 676 of such Act

and section 8(d)(2)(F)(i) of the Act. Any

unreserved balances provided in prior

years for such purposes are to be merged

with amounts provided in the Fiscal

Year 1995 Appropriations Act.

In accordance with an agreement

between HUD and the Administration

for Rural Housing and Economic

Development Services (ARHEDS)

(formerly the Farmers Home

Administration (FmHA), which

facilitates the coordination between the

two agencies in administering their

respective rental assistance programs,

HUD is required to notify ARHEDS of

applications for housing assistance it

receives. This notification gives

ARHEDS the opportunity to comment if

it has concerns about the demand for

additional assisted housing and possible

harm to existing projects in the same

housing market area. HUD will consider

the ARHEDS comments in its review

and project selection process.

B. Allocation Amounts

In accordance with 24 CFR part 791,

the Assistant Secretary will allocate the

amounts available for capital advances

for supportive housing for the elderly.

HUD reserves project rental assistance

funds sufficient for 20-year project

rental assistance contracts in support of

the units selected for capital advances,

consistent with current operating cost

standards.

The allocation formula for Section

202 funds consists of a measure of the

number of one- and two-person elderly

renter households with incomes at or

below the very low income limit (50

percent of area median family income,

as determined by HUD, with an

adjustment for household size) that have

housing deficiencies.

Since the allocations to some HUD

Offices are not sufficient to develop

feasible projects in both metropolitan

and nonmetropolitan areas, the funds

may be allocated to only one of the

geographical areas. HUD Offices that

have an allocation for only one area may

accept applications for the other area.

However, these applications can only be

funded by that HUD Office after all

other approvable applications submitted

in response to the advertised allocation

area have been funded by that HUD

Office.

Applicants for capital advances in the

area served by the Wisconsin State HUD

Office are hereby put on notice that the

capital advance amount available to the

Wisconsin Office, as stated in this

NOFA, may be reduced or eliminated

due to ongoing legal proceedings

between HUD and the City of
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 24, 1995 / Notices 27613

Milwaukee, and that the determination

of whether to reduce or eliminate those

funds is entirely within the discretion of

HUD. If HUD takes such action or

actions, it will publish a notice to that

effect in the Federal Register.

Based on the allocation formula, HUD

has allocated the available capital

advance funds as shown on the

following chart:

C. Eligibility

Private, nonprofit organizations and

nonprofit consumer cooperatives are the

only eligible applicants under this

program. Neither a public body nor an

instrumentality of a public body is

eligible to participate in the program.

No organization shall participate as

Sponsor or Co-sponsor in the filing of

application(s) for a capital advance in a

single geographical region in this fiscal

year in excess of that necessary to

finance the construction, rehabilitation,

or acquisition (acquisition permitted

only with RTC properties) of 300 units

of housing and related facilities for the

elderly. This limit shall apply to

organizations that participate as Cosponsors regardless of whether the Cosponsors are affiliated or nonaffiliated

entities. In addition, the national limit

for any one applicant is 10 percent of

the total units allocated in all HUD

Offices. Affiliated entities that submit

separate applications shall be deemed to

be a single entity for the purposes of

these limits. No single application may

propose more than the number of units

allocated to a HUD Office or 125 units,

whichever is less. Reservations for

projects will not be approved for less

than 5 units.

D. Initial Screening, Technical

Processing, and Selection Criteria

1. Initial Screening

HUD will review applications for

Section 202 capital advances that are

received by HUD at the appropriate

address by 4 p.m. local time on July 24,

1995, to determine if all parts of the

application are included. HUD will not

review the content of the application as

part of initial screening. HUD will send

deficiency letters, by certified mail,

informing Sponsors of any missing parts

of the application. Sponsors must

correct such deficiencies within 14

calendar days from the date of the

deficiency letter. Any document

requested as a result of the initial

screening may be executed or prepared

within the deficiency period, except for

Forms HUD–92015–CAs, Articles of

Incorporation, IRS exemption rulings,

Forms SF–424, Board Resolution

committing the minimum capital

investment, and site control documents

(all of these excepted items must be

dated no later than the application

deadline date).

Note: SPONSORS OF PROJECTS IN

OKLAHOMA MAY SUBMIT THE

CERTIFICATION OF CONSISTENCY WITH

THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN AFTER THE

APPLICATION DEADLINE DATE BUT NO

LATER THAN AUGUST 25, 1995. If this is

the only deficiency discovered during initial

screening, affected Sponsors will not receive

a deficiency letter.

2. Technical Processing

All applications will be placed in

technical processing upon receipt of the

response to the deficiency letter or at

the end of the 14-day period. These

applications will undergo a complete

analysis. If a reviewer finds that

clarification is needed to complete the

review, or an exhibit is missing that was

not requested after initial screening, the

reviewer shall immediately advise the

Multifamily Housing Representative,

who will: (a) Request, by telephone, that

the Sponsor submit the information

within five (5) working days; and (b)

follow up by certified letter.

Communications must be attached to

the technical review and findings

memorandum. As part of this analysis,

HUD will conduct its environmental

review in accordance with 24 CFR part

50.

Examples of reasons for technical

processing rejection include an

ineligible Sponsor, ineligible population

to be served, lack of legal capacity, lack

of site control, and unacceptable site

based upon a site visit. The Secretary

will not reject an application based on

technical processing without giving

notice of that rejection with all rejection

reasons, and affording the applicant an

opportunity to appeal. HUD will afford

an applicant 14 calendar days from the

date of HUD’s written notice to appeal

a technical rejection to the HUD Office.

The HUD Office must respond within

five working days to the Sponsor. The

HUD Office shall make a determination

on an appeal prior to making its

selection recommendations. All

applications will be either rated or

technically rejected at the end of

technical processing.

Technical processing will also assure

that the Sponsor has complied with the
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 24, 1995 / Notices 27615

requirements in the civil rights

certification (24 CFR 890.265(b)(9)(i)).

There must not have been an

adjudication of a civil rights violation in

a civil action brought against the

Sponsor by a private individual, unless

the Sponsor is operating in compliance

with a court order, or implementing a

HUD-approved compliance agreement

designed to correct the areas of

noncompliance. There must be no

pending civil rights suits against the

Sponsor instituted by the Department of

Justice, and no pending administrative

actions for civil rights violations

instituted by HUD (including a charge of

discrimination under the Fair Housing

Act). There must be no outstanding

findings of noncompliance with civil

rights statutes, Executive Orders, or

regulations, as a result of formal

administrative proceedings, nor any

charges issued by the Secretary against

the Sponsor under the Fair Housing Act,

unless the Sponsor is operating under a

conciliation or compliance agreement

designed to correct the areas of

noncompliance. Moreover, there must

not be a deferral of the processing of

applications from the Sponsor imposed

by HUD under Title VI of the Civil

Rights Act of 1964, HUD’s

implementing regulations (24 CFR 1.8),

procedures (HUD Handbook 8040.1),

and the Attorney General’s Guidelines

(28 CFR 50.3); or under section 504 of

the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and

HUD’s implementing regulations (24

CFR 8.57), and the Americans with

Disabilities Act.

Upon completion of technical

processing, all acceptable applications

will be rated according to the selection

criteria in § 889.300(d) (also below in

section I.D.3. of this NOFA).

Applications, submitted in response to

the advertised allocation (metropolitan

and/or nonmetropolitan), which have a

total score of 50 points or more will be

eligible for selection and will be placed

in rank order. These applications will be

selected based on rank order, to and

including the last application that can

be funded out of the local HUD Office’s

allocation. Local HUD Offices will no

longer skip over any applications in

order to select one based on the funds

remaining. HUD Offices that have an

allocation for only one area

(metropolitan or nonmetropolitan, due

to limited allocations) may fund

applications in rank order from other

areas in that Office that did not receive

an allocation. These selections would be

made only after funding all applications

eligible in the advertised allocation area,

and only for any remaining funds.

Funds remaining after these two

processes are completed will be

returned to Headquarters for selecting

applications on a national rank order.

3. Selection Criteria

Applications for Section 202 capital

advances that successfully complete

technical processing will be rated using

the following selection criteria:

(a) The Sponsor’s ability to develop

and operate the proposed housing on a

long-term basis, considering the

following (60 points maximum—55 base

points plus 5 bonus points):

the Sponsor’s experience in providing

housing or related services to those

proposed to be served by the project,

and the scope of the proposed project

(i.e., number of units, services,

relocation costs, development, and

operation) in relationship to the

Sponsor’s demonstrated development

and management capacity. (30 points);

(2) The scope, extent, and quality of

the Sponsor’s experience in providing

housing or related services to minority

persons or families (8 points);

(3) The scope, extent, and quality of

the Sponsor’s experience in providing

opportunities for minority- and womenowned business enterprises

participation (5 points); and

(4) The extent of local community

support for the project and for the

Sponsor’s activities, including previous

experience in serving the area where the

project is to be located, and Sponsor’s

demonstrated ability to enlist volunteers

and raise local funds (12 points);

(5) The Sponsor’s involvement of

elderly persons, including minority

elderly persons, in the development of

the application and its intent to involve

elderly persons, including minority

elderly persons, in the development of

the project (5 bonus points);

(b) The need for supportive housing

for the elderly in the area to be served

and the suitability of the site,

considering (25 points maximum):

project in the area based on a

determination by the HUD Office. HUD

will make this determination by

considering the Sponsor’s evidence of

need in the area based on the guidelines

in § 889.270(b)(17), as well as other

economic, demographic, and housing

market data available to the HUD Office.

The data could include the availability

of existing Federally assisted housing

(HUD and ARHEDS) (e.g., considering

availability and vacancy rates of public

housing) for the elderly and current

occupancy in such facilities, Federally

assisted housing for the elderly under

construction or for which fund

reservations have been issued, and in

accordance with an agreement between

HUD and the ARHEDS, comments from

the ARHEDS on the demand for

additional assisted housing and the

possible harm to existing projects in the

same housing market area (8 points).

(2) The proximity or accessibility of

the site to shopping, medical facilities,

transportation, places of worship,

recreational facilities, places of

employment, and other necessary

services to the intended occupants;

adequacy of utilities and streets;

freedom of the site from adverse

environmental conditions; compliance

with site and neighborhood standards

(10 points); and

(3) Suitability of the site from the

standpoint of promoting a greater choice

of housing opportunities for minority

elderly persons/families (7 points).

(c) Adequacy of the provision of

supportive services and of the proposed

facility, considering (20 points

maximum):

(1) The extent to which the proposed

design will meet the special physical

needs of elderly persons (3 points);

(2) The extent to which the proposed

size and unit mix of the housing will

enable the Sponsor to manage and

operate the housing efficiently and

ensure that the provision of supportive

services will be accomplished in an

economical fashion (4 points);

(3) The extent to which the proposed

design of the housing will accommodate

the provision of supportive services that

are expected to be needed, initially and

over the useful life of the housing, by

the category or categories of elderly

persons the housing is intended to serve

(3 points);

(4) The extent to which the proposed

supportive services meet the identified

needs of the residents (5 points); and

(5) The extent to which the Sponsor

demonstrated that the identified

supportive services will be provided on

a consistent, long-term basis (5 points);

and

(d) The project will be located within

the boundaries of a Federally-designated

Empowerment Zone, Urban

Supplemental Empowerment Zone,

Enterprise Community, or Urban

Enhanced Enterprise Community (5

bonus points). The maximum number of

points an application can earn without

bonus points is 100. An application can

earn an additional bonus points for a

maximum total of 125 points.

II. Application Process

All applications for Section 202

capital advances submitted by eligible

Sponsors must be filed with the

appropriate HUD Office receiving an

allocation and must meet the
27616 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 24, 1995 / Notices

requirements of this NOFA. No

application will be accepted after 4 p.m.

local time on July 24, 1995, unless that

date and time is extended by a Notice

published in the Federal Register.

Applications received after that date

and time will not be accepted, even if

postmarked by the deadline date.

Applications submitted by facsimile are

not acceptable.

Immediately upon publication of this

NOFA, if names have not already been

provided to the Multifamily Housing

Clearinghouse, HUD Offices shall notify

elderly and minority media, all persons

and organizations on their mailing lists,

minority and other organizations within

their jurisdiction involved in housing

and community development, and

groups with special interest in housing

for elderly households.

Organizations interested in applying

for a section 202 capital advance should

contact the Multifamily Housing

Clearinghouse at 1–800–685–8470 for a

copy of the application package, and

advise the HUD Office whether they

wish to attend the workshop described

below. HUD encourages minority

organizations to participate in this

program as Sponsors. HUD Offices will

advise all organizations on their mailing

list of the date, time, and place of

workshops at which HUD will explain

the Section 202 program.

HUD strongly recommends that

prospective applicants attend the local

HUD Office workshop. Interested

persons with disabilities should contact

the HUD Office to assure that any

necessary arrangements can be made to

enable their attendance and

participation in the workshop. While

strongly urged to do so, if Sponsors

cannot attend a workshop, they can

obtain Application Packages from the

Multifamily Housing Clearinghouse (see

address and telephone number in the

‘‘Application Package’’ section of this

NOFA, above). Contact the appropriate

HUD Office with any questions

regarding the submission of

applications.

At the workshops, HUD will explain

application procedures and

requirements. HUD will also address

concerns such as local market

conditions, building codes, historic

preservation, floodplain management,

displacement and relocation, zoning,

and housing costs.

III. Application Submission

Requirements

A. Application

Each application shall include all of

the information, materials, forms, and

exhibits listed in section III.B., below

(with the exception of applications

submitted by Sponsors selected for a

Section 202 fund reservation within the

last three funding cycles), and must be

indexed and tabbed. Previously selected

Section 202 Sponsors are not required to

submit the information described in

B.2.(a), (b), and (c), below (Exhibits 2.a.,

b., and c. of the application), which are

the articles of incorporation, (or other

organizational documents), by-laws, and

the IRS tax exemption, respectively. If

there has been a change in any of the

eligibility documents since its previous

HUD approval, the Sponsor must submit

the updated information in its

application. The local HUD Office will

base its determination of the eligibility

of a new Sponsor for a reservation of

Section 202 capital advance funds on

the information provided in the

application. HUD Offices will verify a

Sponsor’s indication of previous HUD

approval by checking the project

number and approval status with the

appropriate HUD Office.

In addition to this relief of paperwork

burden in preparing applications,

applicants will be able to use

information and exhibits previously

prepared for prior applications under

Section 202, Section 811, or other

funding programs. Examples of exhibits

that may be readily adapted or amended

to decrease the burden of application

preparation include, among others,

those on previous participation in the

Section 202 or Section 811 programs,

applicant experience in provision of

housing and services, supportive

services plan, community ties, and

experience serving minorities.

B. General Application Requirements

1. Form HUD–92015–CA, Application

for Section 202 Supportive Housing

Capital Advance.

2. Evidence of each Sponsor’s legal

status as a private, nonprofit

organization or nonprofit consumer

cooperative, including the following:

(a) Articles of Incorporation,

constitution, or other organizational

documents;

(b) By-laws;

(c) IRS tax exemption ruling (this

must be submitted by all Sponsors,

including churches). A consumer

cooperative that is tax exempt under

State law, has never been liable for

payment of Federal income taxes, and

does not pay patronage dividends may

be exempt from the requirement set out

in the previous sentence if it is not

eligible for tax exemption. Under

previous funding rounds, the above

provision was also true for nonprofit

organizations organized in Puerto Rico

and Guam. HUD has now learned that

nonprofits in Puerto Rico and Guam

may apply and be granted IRS section

501(c)(3) tax exemption rulings.

Therefore, to the extent permitted

within the application period for this

NOFA, Sponsors should pursue a tax

exemption ruling under 501(c)(3). If a

Sponsor is unable, after using its best

efforts, to secure such a ruling, it may

use the regulatory exemption described

in this paragraph (c), above.

Note: SPONSORS WHO HAVE RECEIVED

A SECTION 202 FUND RESERVATION

WITHIN THE LAST THREE FUNDING

CYCLES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SUBMIT

THE DOCUMENTS DESCRIBED IN (a), (b),

and (c), ABOVE. INSTEAD, SPONSORS

MUST SUBMIT THE PROJECT NUMBER OF

THE LATEST APPLICATION AND THE HUD

OFFICE TO WHICH IT WAS SUBMITTED. IF

THERE HAVE BEEN ANY MODIFICATIONS

OR ADDITIONS TO THE SUBJECT

DOCUMENTS, INDICATE SUCH, AND

SUBMIT THE NEW MATERIAL.

(d) Resolution of the board, duly

certified by an officer, that no officer or

director of the Sponsor or Owner has or

will have any financial interest in any

contract with the Owner or in any firm

or corporation that has or will have a

contract with the Owner and that

includes a current listing of all duly

qualified and sitting officers and

directors by title, and the beginning and

ending date of each person’s term.

3. Sponsor’s purpose, community ties,

and experience, including the following:

(a) A description of Sponsor’s

purposes and activities, ties to the

community, and minority support, and

how long the Sponsor has been in

existence (include any additional

related information);

(b) A description of Sponsor’s housing

and/or supportive services experience.

The description should include any

rental housing projects and/or medical

facilities, sponsored, owned, and

operated by the Sponsor, the Sponsor’s

past or current involvement in any

programs other than housing that

demonstrates the Sponsor’s

management capabilities and

experience, and the Sponsor’s

experience in serving the elderly and/or

families and minorities;

(c) A description of Sponsor’s

experience in contracting with minorityand women-owned businesses

including a summary of the total

amount awarded in each of the two

categories for the preceding three years,

and the percentage that amount

represents of all contracts awarded by

the Sponsor in the relevant time period;

(d) A certified Board Resolution,

acknowledging responsibilities of

sponsorship, long-term support of the

project(s), willingness of Sponsor to
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 24, 1995 / Notices 27617

assist the Owner to develop, own,

manage, and provide appropriate

services in connection with the

proposed project, and that it reflects the

will of its membership. Also, evidence,

in the form of a certified Board

Resolution, of the Sponsor’s willingness

to fund the estimated start-up expenses,

the Minimum Capital Investment (onehalf of one percent of the HUDapproved capital advance, not to exceed

$10,000, if nonaffiliated with a National

Sponsor; one-half of one percent of the

HUD-approved capital advance, not to

exceed $25,000, for all other Sponsors;

see § 889.250), and the estimated cost of

any amenities or features (and operating

costs related thereto) that would not be

covered by the approved capital

advance.

(e) Description, if applicable, of the

Sponsor’s efforts to involve elderly

persons, including minority elderly

persons, in the development of the

application, as well as its intent to

involve elderly persons in the

development of the project.

4. Project information, including the

following:

(a) Evidence of need for supportive

housing. Such evidence would include

a description of the category or

categories of elderly persons the

housing is intended to serve and

evidence demonstrating sustained

effective demand for supportive housing

for that population in the market area to

be served, taking into consideration the

occupancy and vacancy conditions in

existing Federally assisted housing for

the elderly (HUD and ARHEDS; e.g.,

public housing); State or local data on

the limitations in activities of daily

living among the elderly in the area;

aging in place in existing assisted

rentals; trends in demographic changes

in elderly population and households;

the numbers of income eligible elderly

households by size, tenure, and housing

condition, the types of supportive

services arrangements currently

available in the area and the use of such

services as evidenced by data from local

social service agencies or agencies on

aging.

(b) Description of the project,

including the following:

(1) Narrative description of the

building design, including a description

of any special design features and

community space, and how this design

will facilitate the delivery of services in

an economical fashion and

accommodate the changing needs of the

residents over the next 10–20 years.

(2) Describe whether and how the

project will promote energy efficiency,

and, if applicable, innovative

construction or rehabilitation methods

or technologies to be used that will

promote efficient construction.

(c) Evidence of site control and

permissive zoning.

(1) Evidence that the Sponsor has

entered into a legally binding option

agreement to buy or lease the proposed

site; or has a copy of the contract of sale

for the site, a deed, long-term leasehold,

a request with all supporting

documentation, submitted either prior

to or with the Application for Capital

Advance, for a partial release of a site

covered by a mortgage under a HUD

program, or other evidence of legal

ownership of the site (including

properties to be acquired from the

Resolution Trust Corporation). The

option agreement period must extend

through the end of the current fiscal

year and contain a renewal provision so

that the option can be renewed for at

least an additional six months. The

Sponsor must also identify any

restrictive covenants, including reverter

clauses. In the case of a site to be

acquired from a public body, evidence

that the public body possesses clear title

to the site, and has entered into a legally

binding agreement to lease or convey

the site to the Sponsor after it receives

and accepts a notice of Section 202

capital advance and identification of

any restrictive covenants, including

reverter clauses. However, in localities

where HUD determines the time

constraints of the funding round will

not permit all of the required official

actions (e.g., approval of Community

Planning Boards) that are necessary to

convey publicly-owned sites, a letter in

the application from the mayor or

director of the appropriate local agency

indicating approval of conveyance of

the site contingent upon the necessary

approval action is acceptable and may

be approved by the HUD Office if it has

satisfactory experience with timely

conveyance of sites from that public

body. In such cases, documentation

shall also include a copy of the public

body’s evidence of ownership and

identification of any restrictive

covenants, including reverter clauses.

For properties to be acquired from the

RTC, include a copy of the RTC

prepared Transaction Screen Checklist

or Phase I Environmental Site

Assessment, and applicable

documentation, per the RTC

Environmental Guidelines.

Note: A PROPOSED PROJECT SITE MAY

NOT BE ACQUIRED OR OPTIONED FROM

A GENERAL CONTRACTOR (OR ITS

AFFILIATE) THAT WILL CONSTRUCT THE

SECTION 202 PROJECT OR FROM ANY

OTHER DEVELOPMENT TEAM MEMBER.

(2) Evidence that the project as

proposed is permissible under

applicable zoning ordinances or

regulations, or a statement of the

proposed action required to make the

proposed project permissible and the

basis for belief that the proposed action

will be completed successfully before

the submission of the commitment

application (e.g., a summary of the

results of any recent requests for

rezoning on land in similar zoning

classifications and the time required for

such rezoning, preliminary indications

of acceptability from zoning bodies,

etc.).

(3) Narrative description of site and

area surrounding the site, characteristics

of neighborhood, how the site will

promote greater housing opportunities

for minorities, and any other

information that affects the suitability of

the site for the elderly.

(4) A map showing the location of the

site and the racial composition of the

neighborhood, with the area of racial

concentration delineated.

(5) A Transaction Screen Process, in

accordance with the American Society

for Testing and Material (ASTM)

Standards E 1528–93 and E 1527–93, as

amended. If the completion of the

Transaction Screen Questionnaire

results in either a ‘‘yes’’ or ‘‘unknown’’

response, further study is required, and

the Sponsor must complete a Phase I

Environmental Site Assessment in

accordance with the ASTM and submit

it with the application. If the Phase I

study indicates the possible presence of

contamination and/or hazards, further

study must be undertaken. At this point,

the Sponsor must decide whether to

continue with this site or choose

another site. Should the Sponsor choose

another site, the same environmental

site assessment procedure identified

above must be followed for that site.

Since all Transaction Screen processes

and Phase I studies must be completed

and submitted with the application, it is

important that the Sponsor start the site

assessment process as soon after the

publication of this NOFA as possible.

If the Sponsor chooses to continue

with the original site, then it must

undertake a detailed Phase II

Environmental Site Assessment by an

appropriate professional.

Note: THIS COULD BE AN EXPENSIVE

UNDERTAKING. THE COST OF THE STUDY

WILL BE BORNE BY THE SPONSOR IF THE

APPLICATION IS NOT SELECTED.

If the Phase II Assessment reveals site

contamination the extent of the

contamination, and a plan for clean-up

of the site must be submitted to the local

HUD Office. The plan for clean-up must
27618 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 24, 1995 / Notices

include a contract for remediation of the

problem(s) and an approval letter from

the applicable Federal, State, and/or

local agency with jurisdiction over the

site. In order for the application to be

considered for review under this FY

1995 funding, this information would

have to be submitted to the local HUD

Office no later than August 16, 1995.

(d) Provision of supportive services

and proposed facility.

(1) A detailed description of the

supportive services proposed to be

provided to the anticipated occupancy.

(2) Form HUD 92013E, Supplemental

Application Processing Form—Housing

for the Elderly. Identify all supportive

services, if any, to be provided to the

persons occupying such housing.

(3) A description of public or private

sources of assistance that reasonably

could be expected to fund the proposed

services.

(4) The manner in which such

services will be provided to such

persons (i.e., on or off-site), including

whether a service coordinator will

facilitate the adequate provision of such

services, and how the services will meet

the identified needs of the residents.

5. A list of the applications, if any, the

Sponsor has submitted or is planning to

submit to any other HUD Office in

response to this NOFA or the NOFA for

Supportive Housing for Persons with

Disabilities (published elsewhere in

today’s Federal Register). Indicate by

HUD Office, the proposed location by

city and State, and the number of units

requested for each application. Include

a list of all FY 1994 and prior year

projects to which the Sponsor(s) is a

party, identified by project number and

HUD Office, which have not been

finally closed.

6. HUD–2880, Applicant/Recipient

Disclosure/Update Report, including

Social Security Numbers and Employee

Identification Numbers.

7. E.O. 12372. A certification that the

Sponsor has submitted a copy of its

applications, if required, to the State

agency (single point of contact) for State

review in accordance with Executive

Order 12372.

8. A statement that (a) identifies all

persons (families, individuals,

businesses, and nonprofit

organizations), identified by race/

minority group, and status as owners or

tenants, occupying the property on the

date of submission of the application for

a capital advance; (b) indicates the

estimated cost of relocation payments

and other services; and (c) identifies the

staff organization that will carry out the

relocation activities.

Note: IF ANY OF THE RELOCATION

COSTS WILL BE FUNDED FROM SOURCES

OTHER THAN THE SECTION 202 CAPITAL

ADVANCE, THE SPONSOR MUST PROVIDE

EVIDENCE OF A FIRM COMMITMENT OF

THESE FUNDS. WHEN EVALUATING

APPLICATIONS, HUD WILL CONSIDER THE

TOTAL COST OF PROPOSALS (I.E., COST

OF SITE ACQUISITION, RELOCATION,

CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER PROJECT

COSTS).

9. SF–424. A certification on SF–424,

Application for Federal Assistance, that

the Sponsor(s) is not delinquent on the

repayment of any Federal debt.

10. Disclosure of Lobbying Activities.

If the amount applied for is greater than

$100,000, the certification with regard

to lobbying required by 24 CFR part 87

must be included. If the amount applied

for is greater than $100,000, and the

applicant has made or has agreed to

make any payment using

nonappropriated funds for lobbying

activity, as described in 24 CFR part 87,

the submission must also include SF–

LLL, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities.

The applicant determines if the

submission of the SF–LLL form is

applicable.

11. Sponsor Certifications.

use their annual plan for FY 1994 as

extended by the February 6, 1995 Federal

Register notice for the purpose of

certifications of consistency.

(2) Sponsors of projects in Oklahoma may

submit the certification of consistency with

the consolidated plan after the application

deadline date but no later than August 25,

1995.

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 that implement section

102(2)(C) of the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332). The

Finding of No Significant Impact is

available for public inspection during

business hours in the Office of the Rules

Docket Clerk, Office of General Counsel,

Room 10276, Department of Housing

and Urban Development, 451 Seventh

Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410.

B. Federalism Executive Order

The General Counsel, as the

Designated Official under section 6(a) of

Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has

determined that this NOFA does not

have substantial direct effects on States

or their political subdivisions, or on the

relationship between the Federal

government and the States, or on the

distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. This NOFA

merely notifies the public of the

availability of capital advances and

project rental assistance for supportive

housing for the elderly.

C. Family Executive Order

The General Counsel, as the

Designated Official under Executive

Order 12606, the Family, has

determined that this NOFA does not

have the potential for significant impact

on family formation, maintenance, or

general well-being. This NOFA may

have a positive though indirect effect on

families, to the extent that families will

benefit from the provision of supportive

housing for elderly persons. Since any

effect on families is beneficial, this

NOFA is not subject to review under the

Order.

D. Accountability in the Provision of

HUD Assistance

HUD has promulgated a final rule to

implement section 102 of the

Department of Housing and Urban

Development Reform Act of 1989 (HUD

Reform Act). The final rule is codified

at 24 CFR part 12. Section 102 contains

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 in the Federal

Register (57 FR 1942) additional

information that gave the public

(including applicants for and recipients

of HUD assistance) further information

on the implementation, public access,

and disclosure requirements of section

102. The documentation, public access,

and disclosure requirements of section

102 are applicable to assistance awarded

under this NOFA as follows:

1. Documentation and Public Access

HUD will ensure 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 fiveyear period beginning not less than 30

days after the award of the 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 (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. (See 24 CFR subpart C, and

the notice published in the Federal

Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR

1942), for further information on these

disclosure requirements.)

E. Documentation and Public Access

Requirements: HUD Reform Act

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 fiveyear period beginning not less than 30

days after the award of the 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 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.)

F. Section 103

HUD’s regulation implementing

section 103 of the Department of

Housing and Urban Development

Reform Act of 1989 was published 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.

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 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 who have questions

should contact the HUD Office of Ethics

(202) 708–3815 (TDD/Voice). (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 employee who

has specific program questions, such as

whether particular subject matter can be

discussed with persons outside HUD,

should contact his or her HUD Office

Counsel, or Headquarters counsel for

the program to which the question

pertains.

G. Lobbying

Section 13 of the Department of

Housing and Urban Development Act

(42 U.S.C. 3537b) contains two

provisions dealing with efforts to

influence HUD’s decisions with respect

to financial assistance. The first imposes

disclosure requirements on those who
27620 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 24, 1995 / Notices

are typically involved in these efforts—

those who pay others to influence the

award of assistance or the taking of a

management action by HUD 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.

H. 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) (the Byrd Amendment)

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.
