SUMMARY: On May 7, 2009, HUD posted 

on its website its Notice of Funding 

Availability (NOFA) for HUD’s 

American Recovery and Reinvestment

(CFRC) Grants. Through this document, 

HUD announces that it has posted on its 

Web site a revised NOFA that corrects, 

changes and clarifies a number of 

criteria established in the document 

posted on May 7, 2009. The corrections, 

changes, and clarifications to the NOFA 

include, among other items, the 

following: adding threshold funding 

caps in Categories 1, 2 and 3 for public 

housing agencies (PHAs) designated as 

High Performers; adding a rating factor 

on High Performer status to Category 4; 

amending the Capacity threshold 

requirement relating to the Capital 

Fund; clarifying the threshold 

requirement of Category 2, Public 

Housing Transformation, that deals with 

the census tract and the concentration of 

poverty; adding definitions of leverage 

and match and adding tie-breaking 

criteria based on leverage and match; 

amending the leverage ratio criteria in 

Category 1 required for Round 1 

consideration; amending the Category 3 

threshold requirement to require that 

any demolition and/or disposition 

applications had to be submitted to 

HUD no later than the date of the 

publication of the revised NOFA; and 

clarifying certain other Category 4 rating 

factors and funding limits. Please see 

the revised NOFA document for all the 

corrections, changes, and clarifications 

made. To permit applicants time to 

prepare applications that take into 

account these and other changes 

incorporated in the revised NOFA, HUD 

is revising the application deadline 

dates for each funding category: For 

Threshold-Based applications 

(Categories 1, 2 and 3), the Department 

will assign the first Ordinal on July 6, 

2009; but will begin accepting 

applications on June 22, 2009. For Rated 

and Ranked applications (Category 4), 

the deadline date for applications is July 

29, 2009, but HUD will begin accepting 

applications on June 22, 2009. The 

NOFA which reflects these changes, 

corrections and clarifications is 

available on the HUD Web site at:

SUMMARY: On May 22, 2009, HUD 

posted on its Web site its Notice of 

Funding Availability (NOFA) for HUD’s 

FY2009 Lead-Based Paint Hazard 

Control Grant Program and Lead Hazard

Program. Today’s Federal Register 

publication announces that HUD has 

posted on its Web site a revised NOFA 

that corrects Appendix A of the NOFA

States Having at Least One Place or 

County with 3,500 or More Occupied 

Rental Housing Units Built Before 1940, 

and Eligible States and Tribes.’’ The 

revised Appendix A is available at 

http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead/ 

09NOFA/leadcombo.cfm. In addition, in 

order to provide equal opportunity to all 

eligible applicants, the deadline for 

submitting waiver requests to reduce the 

statutory match amount from 25% to 

10% is being extended from June 10, 

2009 to June 23, 2009. The period for 

HUD to review the requests is extended 

from June 22, 2009 to June 30, 2009. The 

deadline for receipt of the applications 

in HUD headquarters remains 5:00 PM

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Klamath River provides habitat 

for fall and spring run Chinook salmon 

(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho 

salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), 

steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), 

green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris), 

Pacific lamprey (Lampetra tridentate), 

and Pacific eulachon (Thaleichthys 

pacificus). Some of these species are 

important components of non-tribal 

harvest (e.g., fall Chinook, steelhead), 

some have important subsistence and 

cultural value to Klamath Basin tribes 

(e.g., salmon, sturgeon, lamprey, 

eulachon), and some are at low levels of 

abundance or ESA-listed (e.g., spring 

Chinook, lamprey, coho, eulachon). In 

addition to its importance as fish 

habitat, the Klamath River also provides 

water to agriculture through the Bureau 

of Reclamation’s Klamath Irrigation 

Project. Oversubscription of Klamath 

water has thwarted recovery of 

depressed fish stocks and led to 

economic hardship for farming and 

fishing communities—prompting 

federal disaster relief for farmers in 2001 

and for fishermen in 2006. 

In November 2008 the U.S. 

Government, the States of Oregon and 

California, and the utility company 

PacifiCorp signed an agreement in 

principle (AIP) to remove four 

hydroelectric dams on the Klamath 

River by 2020. Dam removal is being 

considered a viable alternative to 

volitional fish passage (ladders and 

screens), which was being considered 

by the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (FERC) as a condition for 

relicensing of PacifiCorp’s hydroelectric 

project. Parties to the AIP are working 

with stakeholders (including tribes, 

fishers, farmers, conservation groups, 

and local governments) to reach a final 

agreement that would result in the 

largest dam removal project in U.S. 

history. If achieved, this agreement will 

be part of a comprehensive solution to 

species recovery, water allocation, and 

water quality problems in the Klamath 

Basin. 

In October 2011 the Secretary of the 

Interior is expected to make a final 

determination regarding dam removal, 

contingent on results of an economic 

analysis that will address benefits, costs, 

and distributional effects of dam 

removal relative to volitional fish 

passage. 

Dam removal is expected to have 

positive long-term effects on the 

viability of fish populations and other 

aspects of the Klamath Basin ecosystem. 

Benefits of these environmental 

improvements include ‘‘non-use 

values,’’ which accrue to members of 

the public who value such 

improvements regardless of whether 

they ever consume Klamath fish or visit 

the Klamath Basin. An information 

collection is planned in order to 

implement a state-of-the-art non-use 

valuation survey of the U.S. public that 

addresses the incremental 

environmental improvements of dam 

removal relative to volitional fish 

passage. This data collection is intended 

to address one component of an 

economic analysis that will include all 

costs and benefits of dam removal 

relative to volitional fish passage.
