Guaranteed Loans Under the Section 538 Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing 
Program; Correction

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Rural Housing Service (RHS) corrects a notice published 
December 26, 2000 (65 FR 81650-81656). This action is taken to correct 
the point scoring of the selection criteria in paragraph VIII(A), (B), 
and (E). This action is being taken so that interest credit requests 
may be scored as they are received, on an individual basis, to 
determine if the threshold criteria of 70 points have been met.
    Accordingly, the notice published December 26, 2000, (65 FR 81650-
81656), is corrected as follows:
    On page 81655, in the second column, Item VIII(A), the third 
sentence, ``The proposals will be given a point score starting with the 
project located in the area with the lowest population receiving 20 
points, the next 19 points and so forth, until up to 20 projects have 
received points.'' should read ``Population points will be awarded as 
follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On page 81655, in the third column, Item VIII(B), the second 
sentence, ``The proposals will be given a point score starting with the 
community having the lowest median income receiving 20 points, the next 
19 points and so forth until up to 20 proposals have received points.'' 
should read ``Median income points will be awarded as follows:

35,000-40,000................................................          5
More than 40,000.............................................          0
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On page 81656, in the first column, Item VIII(E), the second 
sentence, ``The proposals will be ranked in order of this percentage 
with the proposal with the highest percent receiving 20 points, the 
next 19 points and so forth until up to 20 projects have received 
points.'' should read ``Percentage of 3-5 bedroom points will be 
awarded as follows:
