SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Youth

Sports Program is authorized by Section

520 of the National Affordable Housing

Act (NAHA) (approved November 28,

1990, Pub. L. 101–625) (42 U.S.C.

11903a). Section 126(a) of the Housing

and Community Development Act of

1992 (HCDA 1992) (Pub. L. 102–550,

approved October 28, 1992) amended a

section of the Public and Indian

Housing Drug Elimination Program at 42

U.S.C. 11909(c) to provide that 5

percent of any amounts made available

in any fiscal year for Drug Elimination

Program grants shall be available for

Youth Sports Program grants.

HUD’s Fiscal Year (FY) 1996

appropriations act, The Omnibus

Consolidated Rescissions and

Appropriations Act of 1996 (Pub. L.

104–134, approved April 26, 1996)

appropriated $290 million for the Drug

Elimination Program in FY 1996. This

Act also provides that, notwithstanding

42 U.S.C. 11909(c), HUD ‘‘may

determine not to use any such funds to

provide public housing youth sports

grants.’’ In FY 1996, the Department

will not make funds competitively

available for the Public Housing Youth

Sports Program. Applications will not

be solicited and awards will not be

made this fiscal year under the Youth

Sports Program.

In addition, this notice corrects a

funding error resulting from the FY

1994 Youth Sports NOFA competition.

Following an appeal by the LexingtonFayette Urban County Housing

Authority for reconsideration of its FY

1994 Youth Sports score, HUD

determined that this application

qualified for funding. However, because

all FY 1994 and FY 1995 funds have

already been awarded, HUD has

determined to correct this error by using

FY 1996 funds to make the award.

Therefore, in accordance with section

102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of

Housing and Urban Development

Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101–235,

approved December 15, 1989), HUD is

hereby publishing the name, address,

and amount of that award.

Program Name: Youth Sports

Program.

Statute: Section 520 of the National

Affordable Housing Act (NAHA)

(approved November 28, 1990, Pub. L.

101–625) (42 U.S.C. 11903a).

Funding Recipient (Name and

Address): Lexington-Fayette Urban

County Housing Authority, 300 New

Circle Road, N.W. at Russell Cave Road,

Lexington, Kentucky 40505, (502) 281–

5054.

Amount of Award: $125,000.

Dated: June 5, 1996.

Kevin Emanuel Marchman,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Public and

Indian Housing.
