Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 122 / Monday, June 24, 1996 / Notices 32449

One of the institutions, who is the lead

applicant on the COPC grant, is

disqualified from applying for an

Institutionalization Grant because it was

awarded a JCD grant. Unfortunately,

because of the consortia requirement,

the other two universities are also

disqualified, because they can not apply

without the lead applicant. The two

schools received no benefits from the

JCD grant and it is unfair to penalize

them for lead applicant’s success.

Therefore, in any case where one

member of a consortium received a JCD

grant, but the other institutions in the

consortium did not, these other

institutions are eligible to apply for an

Institutionalization grant, under the

following conditions. First, the

remaining consortium partners must

apply as a consortium. Second, one of

these partners must be designated the

lead applicant. The $100,000 maximum

amount for an Institutionalization Grant

remains unchanged.

The total amount being set aside for

Institutionalization Grants is increased

to $1.2 million to provide funding for

this additional potential grantee.

Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal

Opportunity, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability

(NOFA); Notice of Amendment.

SUMMARY: On May 24, 1996 (61 FR

26362), HUD published a NOFA

announcing the availability of up to

$12,106,000 in Fiscal Year 1996 funding

for the Fair Housing Initiatives Program

(FHIP). This document amends the May

24, 1996 NOFA by expanding the pool

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. NOFA Amendments

A Notice of Funding Availability

(NOFA) announcing the Fiscal Year

(FY) 96 availability of $12,106,000

under the Fair Housing Initiatives

Program (FHIP) was published by HUD

on May 24, 1996 (61 FR 26362). FHIP

assists projects and activities designed

to enforce and enhance compliance with

the Fair Housing Act and substantially

equivalent State and local fair housing

laws. The body of the May 24, 1996

NOFA contains information concerning

the purpose of the NOFA, eligibility,

available amounts, how to apply for

funding, and how selections will be

made.

The May 24, 1996 NOFA establishes

the eligibility standards for bonus points

under the Private Enforcement

Initiative. Paragraph I.(c)(2)(ii)(A) of the

May 24, 1996 limits the receipt of 10

bonus points to PEI applications from

FHIP grant recipients whose period of

performance for all FHIP grants expired/

will expire between September 30, 1995

and December 31, 1996.

The Department had intended to

allow FHIP grant recipients to receive

bonus points where all grants will

expire between September 30, 1995 and

December 31, 1996 except for their PEISpecial Project grants. For this reason,

the Department has determined to

amend the FY 1996 NOFA to permit

these grantees to be eligible for the 10

bonus points under the PEI competition.

The PEI-Special Project grant recipients

applied in September 1994 under a

FHIP competition which targeted

mortgage-lending and insurance

enforcement projects and were notified

of their award in January 1995. This

amendment is intended to increase the

number of organizations that are eligible

to receive the bonus points under the

PEI competition. Because this notice is

published 30 days prior to the

application deadline of July 23, 1996,

which was set in the prior NOFA, all

applicants, including newly eligible

applicants, will have 30 days notice of

this amendment. Therefore, the

Department is not extending the

application deadline beyond July 23,

1996.

II. Technical Corrections

On page 26362, in column 3, the third

sentence of paragraph one, under

section I.(a) of the May 24, 1996 NOFA,

reads: ‘‘Instead, it prompts the

Department to promote supporting these

new fair housing enforcement

organizations created under previous

FHIP competitions and giving

preference to those FHIP recipients

whose grants expire between September

30, 1995 and December 31, 1996.’’ The

sentence is now continued by adding,

‘‘including those FHIP grant recipients

with a PEI-Special Project grant that

does not expire until after December 31,

1996, but whose period of performance

for all other FHIP grants expired/will

expire between September 30, 1995 and

December 31, 1996.’’ This notice adds

this additional language.

On page 26364, in column 2,

paragraph I.(c)(2)(ii)(A), Bonus Points,

reads, ‘‘PEI applications from FHIP

grant recipients whose period of

performance for all FHIP grants expired/

will expire between September 30, 1995

and December 31, 1996 will receive a

bonus of ten additional points.’’ An

additional sentence is added

immediately following this which reads,

‘‘Furthermore, applicants with a PEISpecial Project grant that does not

expire until after December 31, 1996,

but whose period of performance for all

other FHIP grants expired/will expire

between September 30, 1995 and

December 31, 1996, will also receive a

bonus of ten additional points.’’ This

notice makes the necessary correction.

Accordingly, FR Doc. 96–4047, the FY

96 NOFA for the Fair Housing

Initiatives Program (FHIP), published in

the Federal Register on May 24, 1996

(61 FR 26362) is corrected and amended

as follows:

1. In section I.(a), on page 26362, in

column 3, the first paragraph, third

sentence is revised to read as follows:

Instead, it prompts the Department to

promote supporting these new fair

housing enforcement organizations

created under previous FHIP

competitions and giving preference to

those FHIP recipients whose grants

expire between September 30, 1995 and

December 31, 1996, including those

FHIP grant recipients with a PEI-Special

Project grant that does not expire until

after December 31, 1996, but whose

period of performance for all other FHIP

grants expired/will expire between

September 30, 1995 and December 31,

1996.
32450 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 122 / Monday, June 24, 1996 / Notices

2. Paragraph I.(c)(2)(ii)(A), on page

26364, in column 2, is revised to read

as follows:

(A) Bonus Points. PEI applications

from FHIP grant recipients whose

period of performance for all FHIP

grants expired/will expire between

September 30, 1995 and December 31,

1996 will receive a bonus of ten

additional points. Furthermore,

applicants with a PEI-Special Project

grant that does not expire until after

December 31, 1996, but whose period of

performance for all other FHIP grants

expired/will expire between September

30, 1995 and December 31, 1996, will

also receive a bonus of ten additional

points.
