    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
    
        The information collection requirements contained in this rule have 
    been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review 
    under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 and have been assigned OMB 
    control number 2577-0140.
    
    I. Purpose and Substantive Description
    
    (a) Authority
    
        (1) This program is authorized by Section 520 of the National 
    Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) (approved November 28, 1990, Pub. L. 101-
    625), as amended by section 126 of the Housing and Community 
    Development Act of 1992 (HCDA 1992) (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 
    28, 1992).
        (2) 24 CFR part 135. Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development 
    Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701u) and the regulations at 24 CFR part 135 
    (see June 30, 1994 Interim Rule, 59 FR 33866) are applicable to funding 
    awards made under this NOFA. One of the purposes of the assistance is 
    to give to the greatest extent feasible, and consistent with existing 
    Federal, State, and local laws and regulations, job training, 
    employment, contracting and other economic opportunities to public 
    housing residents and other low and very-low income persons (section 3 
    residents) and business concerns which provide economic opportunities 
    to section 3 residents (section 3 business concerns).
    
    (b) Allocation Amounts
    
        Section 126(a) of HCDA (1992) provides that five percent of any 
    amount made available in any fiscal year for the Drug Elimination 
    Program shall be available for Youth Sports Program grants. The 
    Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and 
    Independent Agencies Appropriations Act 1995, (approved September 28, 
    1994, Pub. L. 103-327), (95 App. Act) appropriated $290 million for the 
    Drug Elimination Program in FY 1995. After deductions for Technical 
    Assistance ($10 million) and Clearinghouse ($1.5 million), this 
    appropriation results in $13,925,000 as the amount set aside for the 
    Youth Sports Program.
        Program funds are to be used for sports, cultural, educational, 
    recreational, or other activities designed to appeal to youth as 
    alternatives to the drug environment in public or Indian housing 
    developments. Because of the limited amount of funding appropriated for 
    this program, and to ensure that the program is implemented on a broad, 
    nationwide basis, each applicant may submit only one application. The 
    maximum annual Youth Sports grant amount per applicant is $125,000. As 
    more fully explained below, applicants must supplement grant funds with 
    an amount of funds from non-Federal sources equal to or greater than 50 
    percent of the amount provided by the grant.
    
    (c) Eligibility
    
    (1) Eligible Applicants
        Funding for this program in FY 1995 is limited to PHAs and IHAs. 
    Although Section 520 of NAHA lists seven categories of entities 
    qualified to receive grants (States; units of general local government; 
    local park and recreation districts and agencies; public housing 
    agencies (PHAs); nonprofit organizations providing youth sports 
    services programs; Indian tribes; and Indian housing authorities 
    (IHAs)), and HCDA 1992 section 126(b) added institutions of higher 
    learning that have never participated in a Youth Sports program as 
    eligible applicants, the 95 App. Act limited the funding for the Drug 
    Elimination Program to PHAs and IHAs only. Since the funding of the 
    Youth Sports Program is dependent on the appropriation for the Drug 
    Elimination Program, the limitations that apply to Drug Elimination 
    affect Youth Sports as well. Therefore, for FY 1995 only PHAs and IHAs 
    are eligible applicants for Youth Sports Program Funding.
        In designing an activity for funding, PHA and IHA applicants shall 
    consult with RMCs/RCs where they exist, and with other entities that 
    would be eligible for funding under this program, as listed above, with 
    at least two years of experience in designing or operating sports, 
    cultural, recreational, educational or other activities for youth. 
    Eligible local entities that are affiliates of national organizations 
    may rely on the experience of the national organization for this 
    purpose. These consultations will provide applicants with valuable 
    resident input and will involve entities with experience in designing 
    and implementing the eligible types of activities under this program 
    with PHA and IHA applicants that may not have this type of experience. 
    These experienced entities may establish a sub-contracting 
    relationship, in accordance with 24 CFR part 85, with the PHA/IHA if 
    deemed appropriate by the grantee to further their public/private 
    partnership. This consultation process will also provide entities that 
    are not PHAs or IHAs with a greater appreciation and understanding of 
    the [[Page 2647]] operations and problems of public and Indian housing 
    developments. The end result will be more effective program activities 
    that make more efficient use of program funds. This result is expected 
    because it draws upon and combines the expertise of PHA and IHA 
    applicants with respect to the operations and problems of public and 
    Indian housing developments, and the expertise of other entities with 
    respect to designing and implementing youth activities.
    (2) Eligible Activities
        Youth Sports Program funds may be used to assist in carrying out 
    sports, cultural, recreational, educational or other activities for 
    youth in any of the following manners:
        (i) Acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of community 
    centers, parks, or playgrounds is an eligible activity under the Youth 
    Sports Program.
        (A) Acquisition, construction or rehabilitation costs shall not be 
    approved unless the applicant demonstrates the need for the type of 
    facilities to be assisted by the grant (Section III.(a)(3) of this 
    NOFA).
        (B) Facilities that receive Youth Sports funding must be used 
    primarily for youth from the public or Indian housing developments in 
    which the funded facility is operated (Section III.(a)(2)(ii) and 
    III.(a)(10)(iii) of this NOFA).
        (C) Facilities (community centers, parks, or playgrounds) acquired, 
    constructed, or rehabilitated under this program must be on or adjacent 
    to the premises of the public housing development identified in the 
    application for assistance under this program. In the case of Indian 
    Housing Authorities, the applicant must specify how youth from IHA 
    developments will have access to the facility, since IHAs often cover 
    large areas (Section III.(a)(9) of this NOFA).
        (D) Facilities receiving Youth Sports funding must comply with any 
    applicable local or tribal building requirements for recreational 
    facilities (Section III.(a)(2)(iii) of this NOFA).
        (E) Facilities receiving Youth Sports funding must be used for 
    Youth Sports activities commensurate with the extent of the Youth 
    Sports funding. For example, if a facility's operation is funded 60 
    percent by a Youth Sports grant, then it must be used at least 60 
    percent for Youth Sports activities.
        (F) In accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR 8.21, facilities 
    should be designed and constructed to be readily accessible to and 
    usable by individuals with handicaps. Alterations to existing 
    facilities shall, to the maximum extent feasible, make them readily 
    accessible to and usable by individuals with handicaps.
        (G) In accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR 8.20, no 
    qualified applicant with handicaps shall, because a recipient's 
    facilities are inaccessible to or unusable by individuals with 
    handicaps, be denied the benefit of, be excluded from participation in, 
    or otherwise be subjected to discrimination in the program.
        (ii) Redesigning or modifying public spaces in public or Indian 
    housing developments to provide increased utilization of the areas by 
    Youth Sports activities is an eligible activity under this program.
        (A) The construction of sports facilities on public or Indian 
    housing property to implement Youth Sports activities is permitted 
    under this program. These facilities may include, but not be limited 
    to, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, football fields, tutoring 
    centers, swimming pools, soccer fields, public or Indian housing 
    community centers, and tennis courts.
        (iii) Provision of public services, including salaries and expenses 
    for staff of youth sports programs, cultural activities, transportation 
    costs, educational programs relating to drug abuse, and sports and 
    recreation equipment are eligible activities under this program.
        (A) Educational programs for youth relating to illegal drug use are 
    permitted under this section. The program must be formally organized 
    and provide the knowledge and skills youth need to make informed 
    decisions on the potential and immediate dangers of drug abuse and 
    involvement with illegal drugs. Grantees may contract with drug 
    education professionals to provide the appropriate training or 
    workshops. These educational programs may be part of organized sports 
    activities or other eligible youth activities.
        (B) Activities providing an economic/educational orientation for 
    Youth Sports Program participants are eligible for funding as public 
    services. These activities must provide, for public or Indian housing 
    youth, the opportunities for interaction with, or referral to, higher 
    educational or vocational institutions, and develop the skills of 
    program participants to pursue educational, vocational, and economic 
    goals. These activities may also provide public or Indian housing youth 
    the opportunity to interact with private sector businesses in their 
    community with the purpose of promoting the development of educational, 
    vocational, and economic goals in public or Indian housing youth.
        (C) The cost of the initial purchase of sports and recreation 
    equipment to be used by program participants is permitted under this 
    program.
        (D) Cultural and recreational activities, such as ethnic heritage 
    classes, and art, dance, drama and music appreciation and instruction 
    programs are eligible Youth Sports Program activities.
        (E) Youth leadership skills training for program participants is 
    permitted under this program. These activities must provide 
    opportunities designed to involve public and Indian housing youth in 
    peer leadership roles in the implementation of program activities, for 
    example, as team or activity captains, counselors to younger program 
    participants, assistant coaches, and equipment or supplies managers. 
    Grantees may contract with youth trainers to provide services which may 
    include training in peer pressure reversal, resistance or refusal 
    skills, goal planning, parenting skills, and other relevant topics.
        (F) Transportation costs directly related to Youth Sports 
    activities (for example, leasing a vehicle to transport a Youth Sports 
    team to a game) are eligible program expenses.
        (G) The purchase of vehicles under this program is prohibited.
        (H) Liability insurance costs directly related to Youth Sports 
    activities are eligible program expenses.
        (3) Threshold requirements for funding.
        Every activity proposed for funding under the Youth Sports Program 
    must satisfy each of the following requirements or it will not be 
    considered for funding:

    follows:
        (1) Except as set out in paragraph (2), below, the value of time 
    and services contributed by volunteers is to be computed on the basis 
    of five dollars per hour;
        (2) Where the volunteer is a professional or a person with special 
    training performing a service directly related to the profession or

    designated for use, for the purpose of this program. (See, Section 
    III.(a)(2)(vi).
    
    (d) Selection Criteria
    
        Each application for a grant award that is submitted in a timely 
    manner to the local HUD field office or, in the case of IHAs, to the 
    appropriate HUD Office of Native American Programs, and that otherwise 
    meets the requirements of this NOFA, will be evaluated. An application 
    must receive a minimum score of 65 points out of the maximum of 100 
    points that may be awarded under this competition to be eligible for 
    funding. Grants will be awarded to the three highest-ranked, eligible 
    PHA applications within each of the following 10 groupings of Area and 
    State Offices:
    
    New England
    New York, New Jersey
    Mid-Atlantic
    Southeast
    Midwest
    Great Plains
    Rocky Mountain
    Southwest
    Northwest/Alaska
    Pacific/Hawaii
    
        In addition, grants will be awarded to the three highest-ranked, 
    eligible IHA applications on a nation-wide basis, subject to the 
    following condition: of the total grants awarded to IHAs, the Director 
    of ONAP retains the authority to insure that each Field Office of 
    Native American programs receives a minimum of one eligible grant. This 
    means that before an award is made to an IHA from the jurisdiction of a 
    Field ONAP in which an IHA has already received an award, that award 
    may be made to the next highest scoring IHA from the jurisdiction of a 
    Field ONAP in which no IHA has yet received an award.
        All of the remaining eligible applications, both PHAs and IHAs, 
    will then be placed in overall nation-wide ranking order, with the 
    remaining funds granted in order of rank, except as discussed above for 
    IHAs, until all funds are awarded. The following criteria will be used 
    to evaluate eligible applications:
        (1) The extent to which the Youth Sports activities to be assisted 
    with the grant address the particular needs of the area to be served by 
    the activities and the applicant employs methods, approaches, or ideas 
    in the design or implementation of the activities particularly suited 
    to fulfilling the needs (whether such methods are conventional or 
    unique and innovative). (Maximum points: 20). In assessing this 
    criterion, HUD will consider the following factors:
        (i) The appropriateness of the applicant's methods, approaches, or 
    ideas in addressing the particular needs of the area to be served by 
    the program, as reflected in the description of the services to be 
    provided by the applicant's proposed Youth Sports Program (Section 
    III.(a)(3) of this NOFA). (9 points)
        (ii) The resources committed to each activity and service (Section 
    III.(a)(5) of this NOFA) proposed for funding in the application. (4 
    points)
        (iii) An estimate of the number of youth from public or Indian 
    Housing developments that will be involved in the applicant's proposed 
    activities, in accordance with Section III.(a)(8) of this NOFA. (4 
    points)
        (iv) The applicant's explanation of the procedures that will be 
    followed to ensure that the Youth Sports activities will serve 
    primarily youth from the public or Indian housing development in which 
    the program to be assisted by a grant is operated, as required by 
    Section III.(a)(10)(iii). (3 points)
        (2) The technical merit of the application of the qualified 
    applicant. (Maximum points: 8). In assessing this criterion HUD will 
    consider the following factor:
        (i) The quality and thoroughness of the statement required in the 
    application (Section III.(a)(6) of this NOFA) regarding the extent to 
    which the applicant's proposed Youth Sports activities meet the 
    selection criteria for this program. (8 points)
        (3) The qualifications, capabilities, and experience of the 
    personnel and staff of the sports program who are critical to achieving 
    the objectives of the program as described in the application. (Maximum 
    points: 10). In assessing this criterion HUD will consider the 
    following factors:
        (i) The position descriptions, or if the identity of persons who 
    will fill [[Page 2649]] positions is known, the resumes, of staff 
    critical to achieving the objectives of the applicant's program, 
    required under Section III.(a)(10)(ii) of this NOFA. (6 points)
        (ii) The nature of the duties volunteers will perform, required 
    under Section III.(a)(10)(ii) of this NOFA. (4 points)
        (4) The capabilities, related experience, facilities, and 
    techniques of the applicant for carrying out its youth sports program 
    and achieving the objectives of its program as described in the 
    application, and the potential of the applicant for continuing the 
    youth sports program. (Maximum points: 25) In assessing this criterion 
    HUD will consider the following factors:
        (i) The related experience of the applicant, as evidenced by its 
    staff, and of the entity consulted by the applicant in preparing its 
    application, in conducting the type of activities, in public or Indian 
    housing, for which funding is requested (Section III.(a)(10) (i) and 
    (ii) of this NOFA). (9 points)
        (ii) The appropriateness, in terms of need, size, location, and 
    suitability, of the facilities to be used for youth activities (Section 
    III.(a)(9) of this NOFA). (3 points)
        (iii) The applicant's workplan and implementation schedule for the 
    Youth Sports activities for which funding is sought (Section III.(a)(4) 
    of this NOFA). (9 points)
        (iv) The extent of the resources committed to continue the 
    operation of Youth Sports activities and facilities beyond the grant 
    term included in the applicant's description of plans to continue the 
    Youth Sports activities in the future, as required in Section 
    III.(a)(12) of this NOFA. (4 points)
        (5) The extent to which an applicant has demonstrated that it will 
    meet its obligations under section 3 of the Housing and Urban 
    Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701u), and HUD's implementing 
    regulations at 24 CFR part 135. (Maximum points: 3) In assessing this 
    criterion, HUD will consider the following factor:
        (i) The applicant's plan for training and employing section 3 
    residents and contracting with section 3 business concerns for economic 
    opportunities generated in connection with the assisted project or 
    activity. (3 points)
        (6) The severity of the drug problem at the local public or Indian 
    housing site for the youth sports program and the extent of any planned 
    or actual efforts to rid the site of the problem. (Maximum points: 8) 
    In assessing this criterion HUD will consider the following factors:
        (i) The extent of the drug-related problems at the housing 
    developments to be assisted, as established in the applicant's plan 
    required by Section III.(a)(7) of this NOFA. (4 points)
        (ii) The extent of any planned or actual efforts to rid the housing 
    developments to be assisted of their drug-related problem, as described 
    in the applicant's plan required by Section III.(a)(7) of this NOFA. (4 
    points)
        (7) The extent to which local sports organizations or sports 
    figures are involved. (Maximum points: 4 points) In assessing this

        (8) The extent of the coordination of proposed activities with 
    local resident management groups or resident associations (where such 
    groups exist) and coordination of proposed activities with ongoing

    relationship of the Youth Sports activities with other existing anti-
    drug activities, if any, in the housing developments to be assisted as 
    reflected in the applicant's plan required by Section III.(a)(7) of 
    this NOFA. (5 points)
        (9) The extent of non-Federal contributions that exceed the fifty 
    percent amount of such funds required. (Maximum points: 4) In assessing 
    this criterion, HUD will consider the following factor:

    applicant's Youth Sports Program provided by a grant under this program 
    and the share of the costs provided from funds from non-federal sources 
    and other resources, such as the number of volunteers and volunteer 
    hours committed, submitted in accordance with Section III.(a)(5) of 
    this NOFA. (4 points)
        (10) The extent to which the applicant demonstrates local

        Before making an award of grant funds under this part, HUD will 
    perform an environmental review to the extent required under the 
    provisions of NEPA, applicable related authorities at 24 CFR 50.4, and 
    HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 50.
    
    II. Application Process
    
        (a) An application package may be obtained from the local HUD field 
    office or by calling HUD's Drug Information and Strategy Clearinghouse 
    at 1-800-578-3472. The application package contains information on all 
    exhibits and certifications required under this NOFA.
        (b) The deadline for the submission of grant applications under 
    this NOFA is March 13, 1995. In order to be eligible, the original and 
    two copies of the application must be physically received by 3:00 PM, 
    local time, on the deadline date at the local HUD field office or, in 
    the case of IHAs, in the local field Office of Native American Programs 
    (FONAP), with jurisdiction over the PHA or IHA, Attention: Public 
    Housing Division Director, or Office of Native American Programs 
    Administrator. A list of these offices is included as Appendix A to 
    this NOFA. This application deadline is firm as to date and hour. In 
    the interest of fairness to all competing applicants, the Department 
    will treat as ineligible for consideration any application that is 
    received after the deadline. Applicants should take this practice into 
    account and make early submission of their materials to avoid any risk 
    of loss of eligibility brought about by any unanticipated or delivery-
    related problems. A FAX is not acceptable.

    federal contracts, and that affected persons shall take affirmative 
    action to ensure equal employment opportunity. The applicant will

    clause required by Sec. 130.15(b);
        (E) It will comply with the requirements of section 3 of the

        (I) It will comply with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities 
    Act (42 U.S.C. 12131) and with implementing regulations at 28 CFR part 
    35, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability by public 
    entities.
        (3) A description of the nature of the services to be provided by 
    the applicant's proposed Youth Sports Program, including an explanation 
    of the way in which the activities or facilities proposed for funding 
    address the particular needs of the area to be served by the program.
        (4) A workplan with an 18 months maximum task timeline providing an 
    implementation schedule for the Youth Sports activities.
        (5) A budget describing the financial and other resources committed 
    to each activity and service of the program. The budget must identify 
    the share of the costs of the applicant's Youth Sports activities 
    provided by a grant under this program and provide a narrative 
    describing how the share of the costs provided from other sources of 
    funds (e.g. local or tribal government, corporations, individuals), 
    including funds from non-Federal sources, will be obtained.
        (6) A statement regarding the extent to which the applicant's 
    proposed Youth Sports activities meet the selection criteria in Section 
    I. (d), above.
        (7) A plan designed to eliminate drugs and drug-related problems on 
    the premises of the housing developments proposed for funding. 
    Applicants are given a choice to satisfy this requirement in one of two 
    ways. First, an applicant may submit a current-year plan prepared for 
    the housing developments in accordance with 24 CFR 961.15 as a part of 
    a Drug Elimination Program grant. In this case, the applicant must 
    indicate how its proposed Youth Sports activities will be operated as, 
    in conjunction with, or in furtherance of the 961.15 plan. The other 
    choice is that an applicant may submit an abbreviated plan prepared for 
    this NOFA as follows:
        (i) The plan must describe the drug-related problems in the 
    developments that are proposed for funding under this program, using: 
    [[Page 2651]] 
        (A) Objective data, if available, from the local police precinct or 
    the PHA's or IHA's records on the types, number and sources of drug-
    related crime in the developments proposed for assistance. If crime 
    statistics are not available at the development or precinct level, the 
    applicant may use other reliable, objective data including those 
    derived from the records of Resident Management Corporations (RMCs), 
    Resident Organizations (ROs), Resident Corporations (RCs), or other 
    resident associations. The data should cover the past one-year period 
    and, to the extent feasible, should indicate whether these data reflect 
    a percentage increase or decrease in drug-related crime over the past 
    several years.
        (B) Information from other sources which has a direct bearing on 
    drug-related problems in the developments proposed for assistance. 
    Examples of these data are: resident/staff surveys on drug-related 
    issues or on-site reviews to determine drug activity; vandalism costs 
    and related vacancies attributable to drug-related crime; information 
    from schools, health service providers, residents and police.
        (ii) The plan must include a narrative discussion of the 
    applicant's current activities, if any, to eliminate drug-related 
    problems in the targeted developments. Any efforts being undertaken by 
    community and governmental entities, residents of the development, 
    Resident Management Corporations (RMCs), Resident Organizations (ROs), 
    Resident Corporations (RCs), other resident associations, or any other 
    entities to address the drug-related problems in the developments 
    proposed for assistance must be described. The applicant must also 
    indicate how its proposed Youth Sports activities will be operated as, 
    in conjunction with, or in furtherance of the other activities 
    described in the plan.
        (8) An estimate of the number of youth involved.
        (i) The applicant must provide the total estimated number of youth 
    involved for each proposed activity and participating in youth 
    leadership assignments (for example, team managers, assistant managers, 
    team captains) computed on an annual and, if applicable, a session or 
    seasonal basis (for example, classes or league sports may be organized 
    in sessions or seasons that run for a certain number of weeks or 
    months, or more activities may take place and more youth may be 
    involved on weekends than on weekdays).
        (ii) The total estimated number given for each activity must be 
    further broken down by categories of age (e.g., 5-8 years old, 9-12 
    years old, etc.), sex (male, female, co-ed), and residency in public or 
    Indian housing.
        (9) A description of the facilities used.
        (i) Facilities to be used for Youth Sports activities must be 
    described in the application with regard to their dimensions, location, 
    accessibility to the disabled, and the number of youth that can be 
    accommodated at one time.
        (A) In the case of an Indian housing development, if a facility to 
    be acquired, constructed, or rehabilitated is not located on or 
    adjacent to the premises of the development to be assisted, the 
    application must specify how youth from the Indian housing development 
    will have access to the facility (e.g., transportation will be 
    provided, transportation service is readily available).
        (ii) Where applicable, the application must provide a detailed 
    explanation of all facility acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, 
    operation, redesign or modification proposed for funding under this 
    program.
        (A) The application must specify what percent of the facility will 
    be used for youth activities (as opposed to, for example, senior 
    citizen or adult activities). This percentage may not be less than the 
    percentage of Youth Sports funding provided for the facility.
        (iii) The application must identify the entity that will be 
    responsible for the operation of any facility funded by a Youth Sports 
    grant.
        (10) A description of the organization of the applicant's proposed 
    Youth Sports program, which must detail:
        (i) The consultations entered into by the applicant with RMCs/RCs, 
    where they exist, and other entities experienced in the design and 
    implementation of the type of proposed youth sports activities;
        (ii) The position descriptions, or if the identity of persons who 
    will fill positions is known, the resumes, of the staff that will be 
    responsible for managing and operating the Youth Sports activities must 
    be included in the application; if volunteers are involved, their 
    number, job descriptions, and hours per week of involvement must be 
    included;
        (iii) The procedures that will be followed to ensure that the Youth 
    Sports activities or facilities will serve primarily youth from the 
    public or Indian housing development in which the program to be 
    assisted by a grant is operated must be explained in the application.
        (11) A description of the extent of involvement of local sports 
    organizations or sports figures.
        (i) The applicant must provide documentation of the level of on-
    site or other participation by local and nationally affiliated sports 
    organizations, except as provided in Section (ii) below, with at least 
    two years of organizational and operational experience. These may 
    include, but are not limited to, strictly sports organizations, such 
    as, Little Leagues, Midnight Basketball, or professional teams. 
    Participation by cultural, recreational, or educational organizations 
    is also permissible. The participation of these groups must be focused 
    on the youth activities for which the application is prepared.
        (ii) The applicant may demonstrate the involvement of local or 
    national sports, cultural, recreational or educational figures, such as 
    athletes, coaches, artists, entertainers and teachers in place of, or 
    in addition to, the participation of organizations. The participation 
    of these figures must be focused on the youth activities for which the 
    application is prepared.
        (12) A description of plans and resources to continue the Youth 
    Sports activities beyond the grant term under this program, including 
    the commitment of entities (e.g., local and tribal governments, 
    corporations, community organizations) and individuals to continue 
    their involvement in the applicant's Youth Sports activities and 
    facilities.
        (13) HUD Form 2880.
    
    IV. Corrections to Deficient Applications
    
        (a) HUD will notify an applicant, in writing, of any curable 
    technical deficiencies in the application. The applicant must submit 
    corrections in accordance with the information specified in HUD's 
    letter within 14 calendar days from the date of receipt of HUD's letter 
    notifying the applicant of any such deficiency.
        (b) Curable technical deficiencies relate to items that:
        (1) Are not necessary for HUD review under selection criteria/
    ranking factors; and
        (2) Will not improve the substantive quality of the proposal. An 
    example of a technical deficiency would be the failure of an applicant 
    to submit a certification with its proposal.
    
    V. Other Matters
    
    (a) Environmental Impact
    
        A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) with respect to the 
    environment has been made in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 
    part 50 that implement section [[Page 2652]] 102(2)(C) of the National 
    Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4332. The FONSI is 
    available for public inspection and copying from 7:30 to 5:30 weekdays 
    in the Office of the Rules Docket Clerk, Room 10276, 451 Seventh 
    Street, SW., Washington, DC 20401. HUD will review all applications and 
    their proposed activities in accordance with the environmental 
    requirements of 24 CFR part 50.
    
    (b) Federalism Impact
    
        The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a) 
    of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the 
    provisions of this NOFA do not have ``federalism implications'' within 
    the meaning of the Order. The NOFA implements a program that provides 
    positive sports, cultural, recreational, educational or other 
    activities designed to appeal to youth as alternatives to the drug 
    environment in public and Indian housing, and makes available grants to 
    PHAs and IHAs to help them implement these activities. As such, the 
    program helps PHAs and IHAs to combat serious drug-related crime 
    problems in their developments, thereby strengthening their role as 
    instrumentalities of the States. Further review under the Order is also 
    unnecessary since the NOFA generally tracks the statute and involves 
    little implementing discretion.
    
    (c) Family Impact
    
        The General Counsel, as the Designated Official for Executive Order 
    12606, the Family, has determined that the provisions of this NOFA have 
    the potential for significant positive impact on family formation, 
    maintenance and general well-being within the meaning of the Order. The 
    NOFA implements a program that provides positive sports, cultural, 
    recreational, educational or other activities designed to appeal to 
    youth as alternatives to the drug environment in public and Indian 
    housing, and makes available grants to PHAs and IHAs to help them 
    implement these activities. As such, the program is intended to improve 
    the quality of life of public and Indian housing development residents 
    by reducing the incidence of drug-related crime and should have a 
    strong positive effect on family formation, maintenance and general 
    well-being for PHAs and IHAs selected for funding. Further review under 
    the Order is also not necessary since the NOFA essentially tracks the 
    authorizing legislation and involves little exercise of HUD discretion.
    
    (d) Section 102 HUD Reform Act
    
        Documentation and public access requirements. HUD will ensure that 
    documentation and other information regarding each application 
    submitted pursuant to this NOFA are sufficient to indicate the basis 
    upon which assistance was provided or denied. This material, including 
    any letters of support, will be made available for public inspection 
    for a five-year period beginning not less than 30 days after the award 
    of the assistance. Material will be made available in accordance with 
    the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and HUD's implementing 
    regulations at 24 CFR part 15. In addition, HUD will include the 
    recipients of assistance pursuant to this NOFA in its quarterly Federal 
    Register notice of all recipients of HUD assistance awarded on a 
    competitive basis. (See 24 CFR 12.14(a) and 12.16(b), and the notice 
    published in the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for 
    further information on these documentation and public access 
    requirements.)
    
    Disclosures
    
        HUD will make available to the public for five years all applicant 
    disclosure reports (HUD Form 2880) submitted in connection with this 
    NOFA. Update reports (also Form 2880) will be made available along with 
    the applicant disclosure reports, but in no case for a period of less 
    than three years. All reports--both applicant disclosures and updates--
    will be made available in accordance with the Freedom of Information 
    Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 
    15, subpart C, and the notice published in the Federal Register on 
    January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for further information on these 
    disclosure requirements.)
    
    (e) Section 103 HUD Reform Act
    
        HUD's regulation implementing section 103 of the Department of 
    Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 was published May 13, 
    1991 (56 FR 22088) and became effective on June 12, 1991. That 
    regulation, codified as 24 CFR part 4, applies to the funding 
    competition announced today. The requirements of the rule continue to 
    apply until the announcement of the selection of successful applicants. 
    HUD employees involved in the review of applications and in the making 
    of funding decisions are limited by part 4 from providing advance 
    information to any person (other than an authorized employee of HUD) 
    concerning funding decisions, or from otherwise giving any applicant an 
    unfair competitive advantage. Persons who apply for assistance in this 
    competition should confine their inquiries to the subject areas 
    permitted under 24 CFR part 4.
        Applicants who have questions should contact the HUD Office of 
    Ethics (202) 708-3815. (This is not a toll-free number.) The Office of 
    Ethics can provide information of a general nature to HUD employees, as 
    well. However, a HUD employee who has specific program questions, such 
    as whether particular subject matter can be discussed with persons 
    outside the Department, should contact his or her Regional or Field 
    Office Counsel, or Headquarters counsel for the program to which the 
    question pertains.
    
    (f) Section 112 HUD Reform Act
    
        Section 13 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act 
    contains two provisions dealing with efforts to influence HUD's 
    decisions with respect to financial assistance. The first imposes 
    disclosure requirements on those who are typically involved in these 
    efforts--those who pay others to influence the award of assistance or 
    the taking of a management action by the Department and those who are 
    paid to provide the influence. The second restricts the payment of fees 
    to those who are paid to influence the award of HUD assistance, if the 
    fees are tied to the number of housing units received or are based on 
    the amount of assistance received, or if they are contingent upon the 
    receipt of assistance. Section 13 was implemented by final rule 
    published in the Federal Register on May 17, 1991 (56 FR 22912).
        Any questions regarding the rule should be directed to Director, 
    Office of Ethics, room 2158, Department of Housing and Urban 
    Development, 451 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20410. 
    Telephone: (202) 708-3815; TDD: (202) 708-1112. (These are not toll-
    free numbers.) Forms necessary for compliance with the rule may be 
    obtained from the local HUD office.
    
        Authority: Sec. 520, National Affordable Housing Act (approved
