Community Planning and

Development

[Docket No. N–95–3888; FR–3886–N–01]

HOPE for Homeownership of Single

Family Homes Program (HOPE 3);

Notice of Fund Availability

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of fund availability.

SUMMARY: This NOFA announces the

availability of approximately $22

million in funding for implementation

grants for the HOPE for Homeownership

of Single Family Homes Program (HOPE

3). The Notice contains information

concerning eligible applicants, funding

available for implementation grants, and

application requirements and

procedures. The NOFA is issued under

the final rule for the HOPE 3 Program

published July 7, 1993 (58 FR 36518)

and codified at 24 CFR part 572. The

rule contains detailed programmatic

information and the requirements for

the HOPE 3 program. Applicants are

advised to consult the regulation in

order to prepare an application in

compliance with the requirements of the

final rule, many of which are not

repeated in this NOFA. Failure to follow

the rule will result in applications being

rejected by HUD.

DATES: Applications for implementation

grants for the HOPE 3 program must be

physically received in the appropriate

HUD Field Office by 4:30 p.m. local

time on April 25, 1995. Applications

may be hand delivered to the

appropriate HUD Field Office no later

than 4:30 p.m. local time on the

deadline date. It is not sufficient for an

application to bear a postmark within

the deadline. Applications sent by

facsimile (FAX) will not be accepted.

HUD will not waive this deadline for

actual submission for any reason. The

application deadline is firm as to date

and hour. In the interest of fairness to

all competing applicants, the

Department will treat as ineligible for

consideration any application that is

received after the deadline. Applicants

should take this policy into account and

consider early submission to avoid any

risk of loss of eligibility brought about

by any unanticipated or delivery-related

problems.

ADDRESSES: An original and two copies

of the completed application must be

submitted to the HUD Field Office

having jurisdiction over the locality or

areas in which the proposed program is

located. Applications should be

addressed to the attention of: Director,

Community Planning and Development

Division. A list of HUD Field Offices

appears at the end of this NOFA.

Applicants must submit their

applications to the CPD Division in the

correct Field Office, including

applicants in States with more than one

Field Office. For applications submitted

by Indian tribes and IHAs, the correct

Field Office is the CPD Division in the

office listed at the end of the NOFA

with jurisdiction over the geographic

area covered by the application. Indian

tribes and IHAs should not submit their

applications to the Office of Native

American Programs. Applicants should

contact their local office to confirm the

appropriate place for submission.

Failure to submit an application to the

correct Field Office in accordance with

the above procedures will result in

disqualification of the application.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

The information collection

requirements contained in this NOFA

have been submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) under

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980,

and have been assigned OMB control

number 2506–0128.

I. Purpose and Substantive Description

A. Authority

The funding made available under

this NOFA is authorized by title IV of

the National Affordable Housing Act (42

U.S.C. 12891–12898), which created the

HOPE 3 Program. The final rule for the

program, published in the Federal

Register on July 7, 1993, is codified at

24 CFR part 572. If there is any conflict

between this NOFA and the regulation,

the regulation shall be controlling. HUD

may also issue additional issuances

containing more detailed policy with

respect to various aspects of the

program, application processing

instructions for Field Offices, operation

of the Cash and Management

Information System, obtaining

environmental clearance, and similar

matters, which shall be subject to the

regulations and will be available to the

public upon request to the applicable

Field Office.

B. Allocation Amounts

The purpose of this NOFA is to

announce the availability of

approximately $22 million in funds for

implementation grants, appropriated by

the HUD Appropriations Act for Fiscal

Year 1995 (Pub. L. 103–327, approved

September 28, 1994). The amount made

available for implementation grants has

been allocated to each of the 10 HUD

geographical areas (formerly Regions) by

a formula described in the final rule (24

CFR 572.210(b)). However, no former

Region has been allocated less than $1.0

million in order to ensure that national

geographic diversity is maintained. The

formula results in the following

allocations based upon 1993 data.

Should more recent data become

available during the application

solicitation period, revised allocations

will be published in the Federal

Register. (The numbered geographical

areas correspond to the number of the

former HUD Region; e.g, 1=former

Region I).

1. $1,018,000

2. $1,934,000

3. $1,989,000

4. $4,311,000

5. $3,171,000

6. $3,084,000

7. $1,000,000

8. $1,000,000

9. $3,493,000

10. $1,000,000

C. Reallocation of Funds

If funds remain after HUD has

approved all approvable

implementation grant applications in a

HUD geographical area (formerly

Region) or if any funds become available

due to deobligation of grant amounts,

the remaining amounts from each

former Region may be combined and

HUD may use them in accordance with

§ 572.310(f) of the regulation.

D. Implementation Grant Cap

1. For FY 1995, the maximum total

grant amount for a single application is

$1.0 million. A single applicant may

apply for more than one implementation

grant, but HUD will not approve grants

for any one applicant that total more

than $1.0 million.

2. Applicants should refer to 24 CFR

572.210(c) for overall limitations on

implementation grants.

E. Eligible Applicants

An eligible applicant is a private

nonprofit organization; a cooperative

association; or a public body (including

a PHA, an IHA, Indian tribe or an

agency or instrumentality of a public
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 37 / Friday, February 24, 1995 / Notices 10447

body) in cooperation with a private

nonprofit organization, all as further

defined in the regulations.

II. Implementation Grant Applications

A. Application Process

Application packages for

implementation grants, including SF

424, other forms, and instructions for

preparing applications, are available

from HUD’s Processing and Control Unit

(PCU). Applicants should FAX their

written requests for an application to

the PCU at (202) 708–3363. The request

should include the name and address of

the applicant, the name of the

competition (HOPE 3), and the Federal

Register number of this NOFA. Only

timely applications received in the

appropriate Field Office will be

considered for funding. Applications

(original and two copies) must be

physically received no later than 4:30

p.m. on the deadline (see DATES at the

beginning of this NOFA) at the

appropriate HUD Field Office,

Attention: Director, Community

Planning and Development Division. It

is not sufficient for an application to

bear a postmark within the deadline.

Applications sent by facsimile (FAX)

will not be accepted.

B. Application Submission

Requirements

Complete application submission

requirements are contained in the

application package. All potential

applicants are urged to contact their

HUD Field Office for information and

guidance from HUD about program

requirements and for the time and place

of any workshops or training sessions to

be held within the Field Office’s

jurisdiction. If an application is being

submitted by an organization that is a

current HOPE 3 grant recipient, the

applicant may submit information from

the previous year’s application as long

as the information is still current and

accurate.

C. Consolidated Plan/Comprehensive

Housing Affordability Strategy

On January 5, 1995, the final

consolidated plan regulation (to be

codified in 24 CFR part 91) was

published. The consolidated plan

combines into a single plan the

requirements of the comprehensive

housing affordability strategy, the

community development plan required

for the Community Development Block

Grant program, and the submission

requirements for the Community

Development Block Grant, HOME,

Emergency Shelter Grant, and Housing

Opportunities for Persons with AIDS

formula programs. Changes to the HOPE

3 program regulations to substitute

‘‘consolidated plan’’ for

‘‘comprehensive housing affordability

strategy’’ will be published shortly.

As provided in § 572.400, the

application must contain a certification

from the State or local government that

the proposed activities are consistent

with the HUD-approved comprehensive

housing affordability strategy of the

applicable state or local government.

During FY 1995, jurisdictions will be

making the transition from the

comprehensive housing affordability

strategies to the consolidated plans. If

the jurisdiction has an approved

consolidated plan, the certification of

consistency must be made with respect

to the consolidated plan. If the

jurisdiction still has a comprehensive

housing affordability strategy in effect,

the certification of consistency must be

made with respect to the comprehensive

housing affordability strategy. The

requirements in § 572.400 regarding the

various types of applicants and the

timing for submission of the

certification of consistency remain in

effect.

D. Selection Process

The selection process for

implementation grants under the HOPE

3 Program consists of a screening

review, and then, for those applications

meeting all screening requirements,

rating and ranking under substantive

rating criteria. Rating and ranking will

only occur if there are more applications

that meet screening requirements than

funds available in that former Region.

E. Screening Process/Corrections to

Deficient Applications

(1) HUD will screen each application

submitted on or before the deadline to

determine if it is complete, is internally

consistent, contains correct

computations, and complies will all

requirements of this NOFA and the

regulation. In addition, HUD will

determine whether there appear to be a

sufficient number of suitable, available

properties in the general locations

identified in the application for the

proposed activities. For this purpose, at

least ten suitable units in eligible

properties must be currently available or

have been available in the 12-month

period prior to application submission.

Where HUD determines that an

application as initially submitted is

fundamentally incomplete or would

require substantial revisions, it will not

consider the application further.

(2) Where HUD determines an

application is deficient in one or more

of the areas in paragraph (E)(1) of this

section but is not fundamentally

incomplete and does not require

substantial revisions, it will notify the

applicant in writing and give it an

opportunity to correct the technical

deficiencies in its application. HUD will

not notify the applicant of any

deficiencies that relate solely to the

rating of the application.

(3) The notification will require the

applicant to submit additional or

corrected material so that it is received

in the appropriate HUD Field Office no

later than 4:30 p.m. local time on the

14th calendar day after the date of the

written notification to the applicant

giving it an opportunity to modify its

application. HUD may not extend this

deadline for actual receipt of the

material for any reason. After review of

all additional or corrected materials,

HUD will not consider further any

applications that do not comply with

the requirements of the NOFA and the

regulation.

F. Rating Criteria

All applications meeting screening

requirements will be selected for

funding if sufficient funds are available

within the allocation to each HUD

geographical area (formerly Region). If

there are more applications that meet

screening requirements than funds

available in that former Region, all

applications meeting the screening

requirements will be rated and ranked,

using the following substantive rating

criteria:

1. Capability of the Applicant—up to

25 points.

2. Demonstrated Public/Private

Support—up to 20 points.

3. Quality of Program Design—up to

30 points.

4. Efficiency—up to 10 points.

5. Inventory—up to 5 points.

6. Minority Business Enterprise/

Women-owned Business Enterprise—up

to 5 points.

7. Fair Housing Choice—up to 5

points.

Further description of the rating of

applications and of the factors

considered under each rating criterion

may be found in § 572.320 of the final

rule.

G. Ranking and Selection

After assigning points under the

selection criteria, HUD will rank

applications within the former Regions.

HUD shall examine the rankings and,

where it determines that applications

falling below a certain point total are

not suitable or not feasible for

homeownership, it may establish a

minimum number of points for
10448 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 37 / Friday, February 24, 1995 / Notices

applications to qualify to be selected for

funding.

HUD shall select for funding in rank

order all fundable applications. Further

description of the procedure for

selection is contained in § 572.310 of

the regulation.

III. Other Matters

Environmental Impact

A Finding of No Significant Impact

with respect to the environment has

been made for the program regulations

in accordance with HUD regulations at

24 CFR part 50, which implements

section 102(2)(C) of the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969. 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.

Federalism Executive Order

The General Counsel, as the

Designated Official for HUD under

section 6(a) of Executive Order 12612,

Federalism, has determined that the

provisions in this NOFA are closely

based on statutory requirements and

impose no significant additional

burdens on States or other public

bodies. This NOFA does not affect the

relationship between the Federal

Government and the States and other

public bodies or the distribution of

power and responsibilities among

various levels of government. Therefore,

the policy is not subject to review under

Executive Order 12612.

Family Executive Order

The General Counsel, as the

Designated Official under Executive

Order 12606, The Family, has also

determined that some of the policies in

this NOFA will have a potential

significant impact on the formation,

maintenance, and general well-being of

the family. Achievement of

homeownership by low-income families

in the program can be expected to

support family values, by helping

families achieve security and

independence; by enabling them to live

in decent, safe and sanitary housing;

and by giving them the skills and means

to live independently in mainstream

American society. Since the impact on

the family is beneficial, no further

review is necessary.

Section 102 of the HUD Reform Act—

Accountability in the Provision of HUD

Assistance

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) in

HUD’s implementing regulations at 24

CFR part 15. In addition, HUD publish

a Federal Register notice of all

recipients awarded assistance under this

NOFA. (See 24 CFR part 12 for further

information on these documentation

and public access requirements.)

Section 103 of the HUD Reform Act—

Prohibition against Advance

Information on Funding Decisions

Section 103 of the Housing and Urban

Development Reform Act of 1989 (HUD

Reform Act) proscribes the

communication of certain information

by HUD employees to persons not

authorized to receive that information

during the selection process for the

award of assistance. HUD’s regulations

implementing section 103 are at 24 CFR

part 4. In accordance with the

requirements of section 103, HUD

employees involved in the review of

applications and in the making of

funding decisions are restrained by 24

CFR 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 by 24 CFR part

4. Applicants who have questions

should contact the HUD Office of Ethics

at the address or telephone number in

the following paragraph.

Section 112 of the HUD Reform Act

Section 112 of the HUD Reform Act

added a new section 13 to the

Department of Housing and Urban

Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3531).

Section 13 contains two provisions

concerning 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 this award or

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 at 24 CFR part 86.

Appendix A of the rule contains

example of activities covered by the

rule. Any questions concerning the rule

should be directed to the Office of

Ethics, room 2158, Department of

Housing and Urban Development, 451

Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC

20410; (202) 708–3815 TDD/Voice.

(This is not a toll-free number.) Forms

necessary for compliance with the rule

may be obtained from the local HUD

office.

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) (‘‘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.

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.
