DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal
Opportunity
[Docket No. N-94-3755; FR-3622-N-05]
NOFA for Fair Housing Initiatives Program; FY 1994 Competitive
Solicitation Correction to Deadline
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal
Opportunity, HUD.
ACTION: Notice of funding availability (NOFA)--Correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice changes the deadline requirements for the FY 1994
FHIP NOFA published on May 16, 1994 (59 FR 25532).
DATES: The application due date remains the postmark or delivery
service receipt date originally specified in the application kit.
However, the requirement that applications be received within 7 days
after the postmark or delivery service receipt date is removed.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacquelyn J. Shelton, Director, Office
of Fair Housing Initiatives and Voluntary Programs, Room 5234, 451

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Fiscal Year (FY) 1994 Fair Housing
Initiatives Program (FHIP) Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)
published on May 16, 1994 (59 FR 25532) contained an application due
date that provided:
Applications will be accepted if they are received on or before
the application due date, or are received within 7 days after the
application due date, but with a U.S. postmark or receipt from a
private commercial delivery service (such as, Federal Express or
DHL) that is dated on or before the application due date.
Upon further consideration, the Department has determined to remove
the ``receipt within 7 days'' requirement and to permit all
applications with a U.S. postmark or a private commercial delivery
service receipt, which is dated on or before the application due date,
to compete for funding. In making this determination, the Department
has taken into account the predicament of applicants who have spent
many hours in preparing applications, only to be disqualified, through
no fault of their own, because of a third party's failure to make
timely delivery. The requirement that all applicants have the same
amount of time (up to the postmark date) to prepare their applications
is not affected by this determination.
Accordingly, the requirement in the FY 1994 FHIP NOFA, published on
May 16, 1994 (59 FR 25532), that applications be received within 7 days
after the postmark or delivery service receipt date is removed.
Applications will not be disqualified as long as their postmark or
delivery service receipt date meets the date originally specified in
the application kit.
Dated: October 31, 1994.
Roberta Achtenberg,
Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.
