SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    The information collection requirements contained in this rule have 
been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 and have been assigned OMB 
control number 2577-0140.

I. Purpose and Substantive Description

(a) Authority

    (1) This program is authorized by Section 520 of the National 
Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) (approved November 28, 1990, Pub. L. 101-
625), as amended by section 126 of the Housing and Community 
Development Act of 1992 (HCDA 1992) (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 
28, 1992).
    (2) 24 CFR part 135. Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development 
Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701u) and the regulations at 24 CFR part 135 
(see June 30, 1994 Interim Rule, 59 FR 33866) are applicable to funding 
awards made under this NOFA. One of the purposes of the assistance is 
to give to the greatest extent feasible, and consistent with existing 
Federal, State, and local laws and regulations, job training, 
employment, contracting and other economic opportunities to public 
housing residents and other low and very-low income persons (section 3 
residents) and business concerns which provide economic opportunities 
to section 3 residents (section 3 business concerns).

(b) Allocation Amounts

    Section 126(a) of HCDA (1992) provides that five percent of any 
amount made available in any fiscal year for the Drug Elimination 
Program shall be available for Youth Sports Program grants. The 
Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and 
Independent Agencies Appropriations Act 1995, (approved September 28, 
1994, Pub. L. 103-327), (95 App. Act) appropriated $290 million for the 
Drug Elimination Program in FY 1995. After deductions for Technical 
Assistance ($10 million) and Clearinghouse ($1.5 million), this 
appropriation results in $13,925,000 as the amount set aside for the 
Youth Sports Program.
    Program funds are to be used for sports, cultural, educational, 
recreational, or other activities designed to appeal to youth as 
alternatives to the drug environment in public or Indian housing 
developments. Because of the limited amount of funding appropriated for 
this program, and to ensure that the program is implemented on a broad, 
nationwide basis, each applicant may submit only one application. The 
maximum annual Youth Sports grant amount per applicant is $125,000. As 
more fully explained below, applicants must supplement grant funds with 
an amount of funds from non-Federal sources equal to or greater than 50 
percent of the amount provided by the grant.

(c) Eligibility

(1) Eligible Applicants
    Funding for this program in FY 1995 is limited to PHAs and IHAs. 
Although Section 520 of NAHA lists seven categories of entities 
qualified to receive grants (States; units of general local government; 
local park and recreation districts and agencies; public housing 
agencies (PHAs); nonprofit organizations providing youth sports 
services programs; Indian tribes; and Indian housing authorities 
(IHAs)), and HCDA 1992 section 126(b) added institutions of higher 
learning that have never participated in a Youth Sports program as 
eligible applicants, the 95 App. Act limited the funding for the Drug 
Elimination Program to PHAs and IHAs only. Since the funding of the 
Youth Sports Program is dependent on the appropriation for the Drug 
Elimination Program, the limitations that apply to Drug Elimination 
affect Youth Sports as well. Therefore, for FY 1995 only PHAs and IHAs 
are eligible applicants for Youth Sports Program Funding.
    In designing an activity for funding, PHA and IHA applicants shall 
consult with RMCs/RCs where they exist, and with other entities that 
would be eligible for funding under this program, as listed above, with 
at least two years of experience in designing or operating sports, 
cultural, recreational, educational or other activities for youth. 
Eligible local entities that are affiliates of national organizations 
may rely on the experience of the national organization for this 
purpose. These consultations will provide applicants with valuable 
resident input and will involve entities with experience in designing 
and implementing the eligible types of activities under this program 
with PHA and IHA applicants that may not have this type of experience. 
These experienced entities may establish a sub-contracting 
relationship, in accordance with 24 CFR part 85, with the PHA/IHA if 
deemed appropriate by the grantee to further their public/private 
partnership. This consultation process will also provide entities that 
are not PHAs or IHAs with a greater appreciation and understanding of 
the [[Page 2647]] operations and problems of public and Indian housing 
developments. The end result will be more effective program activities 
that make more efficient use of program funds. This result is expected 
because it draws upon and combines the expertise of PHA and IHA 
applicants with respect to the operations and problems of public and 
Indian housing developments, and the expertise of other entities with 
respect to designing and implementing youth activities.
(2) Eligible Activities
    Youth Sports Program funds may be used to assist in carrying out 
sports, cultural, recreational, educational or other activities for 
youth in any of the following manners:
    (i) Acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of community 
centers, parks, or playgrounds is an eligible activity under the Youth 
Sports Program.
    (A) Acquisition, construction or rehabilitation costs shall not be 
approved unless the applicant demonstrates the need for the type of 
facilities to be assisted by the grant (Section III.(a)(3) of this 
NOFA).
    (B) Facilities that receive Youth Sports funding must be used 
primarily for youth from the public or Indian housing developments in 
which the funded facility is operated (Section III.(a)(2)(ii) and 
III.(a)(10)(iii) of this NOFA).
    (C) Facilities (community centers, parks, or playgrounds) acquired, 
constructed, or rehabilitated under this program must be on or adjacent 
to the premises of the public housing development identified in the 
application for assistance under this program. In the case of Indian 
Housing Authorities, the applicant must specify how youth from IHA 
developments will have access to the facility, since IHAs often cover 
large areas (Section III.(a)(9) of this NOFA).
    (D) Facilities receiving Youth Sports funding must comply with any 
applicable local or tribal building requirements for recreational 
facilities (Section III.(a)(2)(iii) of this NOFA).
    (E) Facilities receiving Youth Sports funding must be used for 
Youth Sports activities commensurate with the extent of the Youth 
Sports funding. For example, if a facility's operation is funded 60 
percent by a Youth Sports grant, then it must be used at least 60 
percent for Youth Sports activities.
    (F) In accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR 8.21, facilities 
should be designed and constructed to be readily accessible to and 
usable by individuals with handicaps. Alterations to existing 
facilities shall, to the maximum extent feasible, make them readily 
accessible to and usable by individuals with handicaps.
    (G) In accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR 8.20, no 
qualified applicant with handicaps shall, because a recipient's 
facilities are inaccessible to or unusable by individuals with 
handicaps, be denied the benefit of, be excluded from participation in, 
or otherwise be subjected to discrimination in the program.
    (ii) Redesigning or modifying public spaces in public or Indian 
housing developments to provide increased utilization of the areas by 
Youth Sports activities is an eligible activity under this program.
    (A) The construction of sports facilities on public or Indian 
housing property to implement Youth Sports activities is permitted 
under this program. These facilities may include, but not be limited 
to, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, football fields, tutoring 
centers, swimming pools, soccer fields, public or Indian housing 
community centers, and tennis courts.
    (iii) Provision of public services, including salaries and expenses 
for staff of youth sports programs, cultural activities, transportation 
costs, educational programs relating to drug abuse, and sports and 
recreation equipment are eligible activities under this program.
    (A) Educational programs for youth relating to illegal drug use are 
permitted under this section. The program must be formally organized 
and provide the knowledge and skills youth need to make informed 
decisions on the potential and immediate dangers of drug abuse and 
involvement with illegal drugs. Grantees may contract with drug 
education professionals to provide the appropriate training or 
workshops. These educational programs may be part of organized sports 
activities or other eligible youth activities.
    (B) Activities providing an economic/educational orientation for 
Youth Sports Program participants are eligible for funding as public 
services. These activities must provide, for public or Indian housing 
youth, the opportunities for interaction with, or referral to, higher 
educational or vocational institutions, and develop the skills of 
program participants to pursue educational, vocational, and economic 
goals. These activities may also provide public or Indian housing youth 
the opportunity to interact with private sector businesses in their 
community with the purpose of promoting the development of educational, 
vocational, and economic goals in public or Indian housing youth.
    (C) The cost of the initial purchase of sports and recreation 
equipment to be used by program participants is permitted under this 
program.
    (D) Cultural and recreational activities, such as ethnic heritage 
classes, and art, dance, drama and music appreciation and instruction 
programs are eligible Youth Sports Program activities.
    (E) Youth leadership skills training for program participants is 
permitted under this program. These activities must provide 
opportunities designed to involve public and Indian housing youth in 
peer leadership roles in the implementation of program activities, for 
example, as team or activity captains, counselors to younger program 
participants, assistant coaches, and equipment or supplies managers. 
Grantees may contract with youth trainers to provide services which may 
include training in peer pressure reversal, resistance or refusal 
skills, goal planning, parenting skills, and other relevant topics.
    (F) Transportation costs directly related to Youth Sports 
activities (for example, leasing a vehicle to transport a Youth Sports 
team to a game) are eligible program expenses.
    (G) The purchase of vehicles under this program is prohibited.
    (H) Liability insurance costs directly related to Youth Sports 
activities are eligible program expenses.
    (3) Threshold requirements for funding.
    Every activity proposed for funding under the Youth Sports Program 
must satisfy each of the following requirements or it will not be 
considered for funding:
    (i) The activity must be operated as, in conjunction with, or in 
furtherance of, an organized program or plan designed to eliminate

(d) Selection Criteria

    Each application for a grant award that is submitted in a timely 
manner to the local HUD field office or, in the case of IHAs, to the 
appropriate HUD Office of Native American Programs, and that otherwise 
meets the requirements of this NOFA, will be evaluated. An application 
must receive a minimum score of 65 points out of the maximum of 100 
points that may be awarded under this competition to be eligible for 
funding. Grants will be awarded to the three highest-ranked, eligible 
PHA applications within each of the following 10 groupings of Area and 
State Offices:

New England
New York, New Jersey
Mid-Atlantic
Southeast
Midwest
Great Plains
Rocky Mountain
Southwest
Northwest/Alaska
Pacific/Hawaii

    In addition, grants will be awarded to the three highest-ranked, 
eligible IHA applications on a nation-wide basis, subject to the 
following condition: of the total grants awarded to IHAs, the Director 
of ONAP retains the authority to insure that each Field Office of 
Native American programs receives a minimum of one eligible grant. This 
means that before an award is made to an IHA from the jurisdiction of a 
Field ONAP in which an IHA has already received an award, that award 
may be made to the next highest scoring IHA from the jurisdiction of a 
Field ONAP in which no IHA has yet received an award.
    All of the remaining eligible applications, both PHAs and IHAs, 
will then be placed in overall nation-wide ranking order, with the 
remaining funds granted in order of rank, except as discussed above for 
IHAs, until all funds are awarded. The following criteria will be used 
to evaluate eligible applications:
    (1) The extent to which the Youth Sports activities to be assisted

(42 U.S.C. 2000(d)) and with HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 1, which 
state that no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, 
color or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied 
the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any 
program or activity for which the applicant receives financial 
assistance; and will immediately take any measures necessary to 
effectuate this agreement. With reference to the real property and 
structures which are provided or improved with the aid of federal 
financial assistance extended to the applicant, this assurance shall 
obligate the applicant, or in the case of any transfer, the transferee, 
for the period during which the real property and structures are used 
for a purpose for which the federal financial assistance is extended or 
for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or 
benefits;
    (B) It will comply with the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601-3620) 
and with implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 100, which prohibit 
discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, 
handicap, familial status or national origin, and will administer its 
programs and activities relating to housing in a manner affirmatively 
to further fair housing;
    (C) It will comply with Executive order 11063 on Equal Opportunity 
in Housing and with implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 107, which 
prohibit discrimination because of race, color, creed, sex or national 
origin in housing and related facilities provided with federal 
financial assistance;
    (D) It will comply with Executive order 11246 and its implementing 
regulations at 42 CFR chapter 60-1, which state that no person shall be 
discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or 
national origin in any phase of employment during the performance of 
federal contracts, and that affected persons shall take affirmative 
action to ensure equal employment opportunity. The applicant will 
incorporate, or cause to be incorporated, into any contract for 
construction work as defined in 24 CFR 130.5, the equal opportunity 
clause required by Sec. 130.15(b);
    (E) It will comply with the requirements of section 3 of the 
Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701u), and with 
the regulations at 24 CFR part 135. For IHAs this certification will be 
made to the maximum extent consistent with, but not in derogation of, 
compliance with section 7(b) of the Indian Self-determination and 
Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450e(b)).
    (F) It will comply with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 
1973 (29 U.S.C. 794) and with implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 
8, which prohibit discrimination based on handicap in federally 
assisted and conducted programs and activities;
    (G) It will comply with the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (42 
U.S.C. 6101-6107) and implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 146, 
which prohibit discrimination against persons because of age in 
projects and activities receiving federal financial assistance;
    (H) It will comply with Executive orders 11625, 12432, and 12138, 
which state that program participants shall take affirmative action to

minority groups and by women;
    (I) It will comply with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities 
Act (42 U.S.C. 12131) and with implementing regulations at 28 CFR part 
35, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability by public 
entities.
    (3) A description of the nature of the services to be provided by 
the applicant's proposed Youth Sports Program, including an explanation 
of the way in which the activities or facilities proposed for funding 
address the particular needs of the area to be served by the program.
    (4) A workplan with an 18 months maximum task timeline providing an 
implementation schedule for the Youth Sports activities.
    (5) A budget describing the financial and other resources committed 
to each activity and service of the program. The budget must identify 
the share of the costs of the applicant's Youth Sports activities 
provided by a grant under this program and provide a narrative 
describing how the share of the costs provided from other sources of 
funds (e.g. local or tribal government, corporations, individuals), 
including funds from non-Federal sources, will be obtained.
    (6) A statement regarding the extent to which the applicant's 
proposed Youth Sports activities meet the selection criteria in Section 
I. (d), above.
    (7) A plan designed to eliminate drugs and drug-related problems on 
the premises of the housing developments proposed for funding. 
Applicants are given a choice to satisfy this requirement in one of two 
ways. First, an applicant may submit a current-year plan prepared for 
the housing developments in accordance with 24 CFR 961.15 as a part of 
a Drug Elimination Program grant. In this case, the applicant must 
indicate how its proposed Youth Sports activities will be operated as, 
in conjunction with, or in furtherance of the 961.15 plan. The other 
choice is that an applicant may submit an abbreviated plan prepared for 
this NOFA as follows:
    (i) The plan must describe the drug-related problems in the 
developments that are proposed for funding under this program, using: 
[[Page 2651]] 
    (A) Objective data, if available, from the local police precinct or 
the PHA's or IHA's records on the types, number and sources of drug-
related crime in the developments proposed for assistance. If crime 
statistics are not available at the development or precinct level, the 
applicant may use other reliable, objective data including those 
derived from the records of Resident Management Corporations (RMCs), 
Resident Organizations (ROs), Resident Corporations (RCs), or other 
resident associations. The data should cover the past one-year period 
and, to the extent feasible, should indicate whether these data reflect 
a percentage increase or decrease in drug-related crime over the past 
several years.
    (B) Information from other sources which has a direct bearing on 
drug-related problems in the developments proposed for assistance. 
Examples of these data are: resident/staff surveys on drug-related 
issues or on-site reviews to determine drug activity; vandalism costs 
and related vacancies attributable to drug-related crime; information 
from schools, health service providers, residents and police.
    (ii) The plan must include a narrative discussion of the 
applicant's current activities, if any, to eliminate drug-related 
problems in the targeted developments. Any efforts being undertaken by 
community and governmental entities, residents of the development, 
Resident Management Corporations (RMCs), Resident Organizations (ROs), 
Resident Corporations (RCs), other resident associations, or any other 
entities to address the drug-related problems in the developments 
proposed for assistance must be described. The applicant must also 
indicate how its proposed Youth Sports activities will be operated as, 
in conjunction with, or in furtherance of the other activities 
described in the plan.
    (8) An estimate of the number of youth involved.
    (i) The applicant must provide the total estimated number of youth 
involved for each proposed activity and participating in youth 
leadership assignments (for example, team managers, assistant managers, 
team captains) computed on an annual and, if applicable, a session or 
seasonal basis (for example, classes or league sports may be organized 
in sessions or seasons that run for a certain number of weeks or 
months, or more activities may take place and more youth may be 
involved on weekends than on weekdays).
    (ii) The total estimated number given for each activity must be 
further broken down by categories of age (e.g., 5-8 years old, 9-12 
years old, etc.), sex (male, female, co-ed), and residency in public or 
Indian housing.
    (9) A description of the facilities used.
    (i) Facilities to be used for Youth Sports activities must be 
described in the application with regard to their dimensions, location, 
accessibility to the disabled, and the number of youth that can be 
accommodated at one time.
    (A) In the case of an Indian housing development, if a facility to 
be acquired, constructed, or rehabilitated is not located on or 
adjacent to the premises of the development to be assisted, the 
application must specify how youth from the Indian housing development 
will have access to the facility (e.g., transportation will be 
provided, transportation service is readily available).
    (ii) Where applicable, the application must provide a detailed 
explanation of all facility acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, 
operation, redesign or modification proposed for funding under this 
program.
    (A) The application must specify what percent of the facility will 
be used for youth activities (as opposed to, for example, senior 
citizen or adult activities). This percentage may not be less than the 
percentage of Youth Sports funding provided for the facility.
    (iii) The application must identify the entity that will be 
responsible for the operation of any facility funded by a Youth Sports 
grant.
    (10) A description of the organization of the applicant's proposed 
Youth Sports program, which must detail:
    (i) The consultations entered into by the applicant with RMCs/RCs, 
where they exist, and other entities experienced in the design and 
implementation of the type of proposed youth sports activities;
    (ii) The position descriptions, or if the identity of persons who 
will fill positions is known, the resumes, of the staff that will be 
responsible for managing and operating the Youth Sports activities must 
be included in the application; if volunteers are involved, their 
number, job descriptions, and hours per week of involvement must be 
included;
    (iii) The procedures that will be followed to ensure that the Youth 
Sports activities or facilities will serve primarily youth from the 
public or Indian housing development in which the program to be 
assisted by a grant is operated must be explained in the application.
    (11) A description of the extent of involvement of local sports 
organizations or sports figures.
    (i) The applicant must provide documentation of the level of on-
site or other participation by local and nationally affiliated sports 
organizations, except as provided in Section (ii) below, with at least 
two years of organizational and operational experience. These may 
include, but are not limited to, strictly sports organizations, such 
as, Little Leagues, Midnight Basketball, or professional teams. 
Participation by cultural, recreational, or educational organizations 
is also permissible. The participation of these groups must be focused 
on the youth activities for which the application is prepared.
    (ii) The applicant may demonstrate the involvement of local or 
national sports, cultural, recreational or educational figures, such as 
athletes, coaches, artists, entertainers and teachers in place of, or 
in addition to, the participation of organizations. The participation 
of these figures must be focused on the youth activities for which the 
application is prepared.
    (12) A description of plans and resources to continue the Youth 
Sports activities beyond the grant term under this program, including 
the commitment of entities (e.g., local and tribal governments, 
corporations, community organizations) and individuals to continue 
their involvement in the applicant's Youth Sports activities and 
facilities.
    (13) HUD Form 2880.

IV. Corrections to Deficient Applications

    (a) HUD will notify an applicant, in writing, of any curable 
technical deficiencies in the application. The applicant must submit 
corrections in accordance with the information specified in HUD's 
letter within 14 calendar days from the date of receipt of HUD's letter 
notifying the applicant of any such deficiency.
    (b) Curable technical deficiencies relate to items that:
    (1) Are not necessary for HUD review under selection criteria/
ranking factors; and
    (2) Will not improve the substantive quality of the proposal. An 
example of a technical deficiency would be the failure of an applicant 
to submit a certification with its proposal.

V. Other Matters

(a) Environmental Impact

    A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) with respect to the 
environment has been made in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 
part 50 that implement section [[Page 2652]] 102(2)(C) of the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4332. The FONSI is 
available for public inspection and copying from 7:30 to 5:30 weekdays 
in the Office of the Rules Docket Clerk, Room 10276, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20401. HUD will review all applications and 
their proposed activities in accordance with the environmental 
requirements of 24 CFR part 50.

(b) Federalism Impact

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a) 
of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the 
provisions of this NOFA do not have ``federalism implications'' within 
the meaning of the Order. The NOFA implements a program that provides 
positive sports, cultural, recreational, educational or other 
activities designed to appeal to youth as alternatives to the drug 
environment in public and Indian housing, and makes available grants to 
PHAs and IHAs to help them implement these activities. As such, the 
program helps PHAs and IHAs to combat serious drug-related crime 
problems in their developments, thereby strengthening their role as 
instrumentalities of the States. Further review under the Order is also 
unnecessary since the NOFA generally tracks the statute and involves 
little implementing discretion.

(c) Family Impact

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official for Executive Order 
12606, the Family, has determined that the provisions of this NOFA have 
the potential for significant positive impact on family formation, 
maintenance and general well-being within the meaning of the Order. The 
NOFA implements a program that provides positive sports, cultural, 
recreational, educational or other activities designed to appeal to 
youth as alternatives to the drug environment in public and Indian 
housing, and makes available grants to PHAs and IHAs to help them 
implement these activities. As such, the program is intended to improve 
the quality of life of public and Indian housing development residents 
by reducing the incidence of drug-related crime and should have a 
strong positive effect on family formation, maintenance and general 
well-being for PHAs and IHAs selected for funding. Further review under 
the Order is also not necessary since the NOFA essentially tracks the 
authorizing legislation and involves little exercise of HUD discretion.

(d) Section 102 HUD Reform Act

    Documentation and public access requirements. 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 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 quarterly 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 documentation and public access 
requirements.)

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 of 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, 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) Section 103 HUD Reform Act

    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 limited 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. (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 the Department, should contact his or her Regional or Field 
Office Counsel, or Headquarters counsel for the program to which the 
question pertains.

(f) Section 112 HUD Reform Act

    Section 13 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development 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).
    Any questions regarding the rule should be directed to 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.

    Authority: Sec. 520, National Affordable Housing Act (approved 
November 28, 1990, Pub. L. 101-625); sec. 7(d), Department of 
Housing and Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3535(d)).

    Dated: December 27, 1994.
Joseph Shuldiner,
Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
