public projects, and (b) homeless provider groups pursuant to the

    Subsequently, the Base Closure Community Redevelopment and Homeless

the option of proceeding under new procedures with regard to the manner 
in which the redevelopment plan for the base is formulated and how

providers and non-federal public agencies. On December 20, 1994, the

new procedures. Accordingly, this notice of information regarding the
