SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 26, 1996 (61 FR 3262), HUD published
a notice announcing the availability of up to $9.2 million in FY 1996
funds for administrative fees for Section 8 FSS program coordinators.
The application due date given in that publication was Monday,
September 9, 1996. Several days prior to the deadline date for
applications, Hurricane Fran hit North Carolina and Hurricane Hortense
hit Puerto Rico and resulted in severe flooding and travel problems.
These hurricanes also caused the HUD offices to close or made delivery
of applications to the HUD offices on September 9, 1996 impossible.
Therefore, for any housing agencies in North Carolina or Puerto Rico,
HUD extended the deadline for applications to be submitted to the
Greensboro, North Carolina and San Juan, Puerto Rico Offices until
September 20, 1996.
Dated: October 2, 1996.
Kevin Emanuel Marchman,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
