SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Public Housing Development

    On September 7, 1995 (60 FR 46746), HUD published a notice in the 
Federal Register that described how the FY 1995 Rescissions Act affects 
certain public and Indian housing programs through rescinding funds and 
amending the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. This notice advises the public 
of the rescissions and their impact on Notices of Funding Availability 
(NOFAs) that have been issued. This notice also advises the public of 
changes to regulation requirements and program policies, implementing 
some, but not all, of the provisions of the Rescissions Act that amend 
the 1937 Act for FY 1995. The purpose of this amendment to the 
September 7, 1995 notice is to provide additional categories of 
unobligated funds that are not rescinded.
    In the September 7, 1995 notice, in the second full paragraph in 
the third column on page 46747, HUD stated as follows:

    Because of the enactment of the Rescissions Act, HUD is now able 
to address 

[[Page 53799]]
only the first three categories of funding in the June 16, 1995 NOFA. 
To pay for the congressionally mandated FY 1995 funding actions 
under the first three NOFA categories, HUD will recapture prior year 
unobligated funds from funding awards not within congressionally 
protected categories.

* * * * *
    This notice amends this second paragraph to add the following new 
third sentence so that the second full paragraph in the third column on 
page 46747 reads as follows:

    Because of the enactment of the Rescissions Act, HUD is now able 
to address only the first three categories of funding in the June 
16, 1995 NOFA. To pay for the congressionally mandated FY 1995 
funding actions under the first three NOFA categories, HUD is 
recapturing prior year unobligated funds from funding awards not 
within congressionally protected categories. HUD is exempting from 
recapture prior awards (1) for new construction, to a PHA in an 
Empowerment Zone (but not to a PHA in any lesser category such as an 
Enterprise Community or Supplemental Empowerment Zone); (2) from 
Headquarters Reserve for natural disasters; or (3) where HUD 
determines, in its discretion, that a gross error by HUD prevented 
an ACC, that was fully executed and submitted to HUD by the PHA 
prior to June 30, 1995, from being executed by HUD prior to June 30, 
1995.

    No other changes are made to the notice published on September 7, 
1995. .

    Dated: October 2, 1995.
Michael B. Janis,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
