SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March

15, 1996 (61 FR 10866), HUD published

a notice announcing the availability of

fiscal year (FY) 1996 funding for three

of its programs which assist

communities in combatting

homelessness. The three programs are:

(1) Supportive Housing; (2) Shelter Plus

Care; and (3) Section 8 Moderate

Rehabilitation for Single Room

Occupancy Dwellings for Homeless

Individuals.

The March 15, 1996 NOFA provided

for an application deadline of midnight

Eastern Time on June 12, 1996, and

designated certain submission

procedures if the application was

mailed through the U.S. Postal Service

or submitted by overnight delivery

service. The application kit issued with

this NOFA also provided for a June 12,

1996 application deadline, but did not

contain the special procedures to be

followed if the application was to be

mailed or submitted by overnight

delivery service.

Due to possible ambiguity concerning

timely submission of the application by

the June 12, 1996 application deadline,

HUD is extending the application

deadline to July 3, 1996. All

applications that HUD has received or

will receive following publication of the

March 15, 1996 NOFA through and

including the date of the new

application deadline set forth in this

notice will be considered timely filed.

The new deadline is set forth in the

‘‘Deadline Dates’’ section of this

document.

Dated: June 25, 1996.

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning

Decision of the Deputy Commissioner

of Indian Affairs To Deal With the

Delaware Tribe of Eastern Oklahoma

Only for Claims Purposes

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of proposed decision.

SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary—

Indian Affairs has determined that the

position of the Department of the

Interior since 1979 with the Delaware

Department of the Interior would engage

in government-to-government relations

with the Delaware Tribe only through

the Cherokee Nation and that the

Department would deal directly with

the Delaware Tribe only for purposes of

their claims against the United States.

The Delaware Tribe of Eastern

Oklahoma requested that the Assistant

Secretary review the 1979

determination.

A comprehensive legal review

conducted by the Division of Indian

Affairs, Office of the Solicitor,

concludes that the 1979 determination
