in New York State; Correction
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and
Development, HUD.
ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA); correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On November 25, 1998, HUD published a notice of funding
availability (NOFA) announcing: (1) the availability of approximately
$54,558,000 in Fiscal Year (FY) 1999 funding for the HUD-administered
Small Cities Program in New York State under the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Program; and (2) the availability of a maximum of
approximately $200,000,000-$250,000,000 in FY 1999 funding under the
Section 108 Loan Guarantee program for small cities in New York State.
On December 7, 1998, a correction notice was published to clarify
that the application due date for this NOFA is February 3, 1999.
This correction notice removes language in the ``Final Selection''
portion of the NOFA that is not applicable to the FY 1999 funding
process for this program.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Yvette Aidara, State and Small Cities
Division, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of
Housing and Urban Development, Room 7184, 451 Seventh Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20410; telephone (202) 708-1322 (this is not a toll-free
number). Hearing or speech-impaired individuals may access this number

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 25, 1998 (63 FR 65486), HUD
published a notice of funding availability (NOFA) (FR-4424) announcing:
(1) The availability of approximately $54,558,000 in Fiscal Year
(FY) 1999 funding for the HUD-administered Small Cities Program in New
York State under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program;
and
(2) The availability of a maximum of approximately $200,000,000-
$250,000,000 in FY 1999 funding under the Section 108 Loan Guarantee
program for small cities in New York State.
On December 7, 1998, a correction notice was published to clarify
that the application due date for this NOFA is February 3, 1999.
This correction notice, published in today's Federal Register,
removes language in the ``Final Selection'' portion of the NOFA that is
not applicable to the FY 1999 funding process for this program.
Specifically, Section I.E.4 of the NOFA (``Final Selection''), which is
found in the first column at 63 FR 65497, contains language regarding
the submission of two applications. This language was in last year's
NOFA for this program and was appropriate because the FY 1997/1998
NOFA, published on December 16, 1997, solicited and authorized
applicants to submit a separate application for FY 1997 and 1998
funding. This language should have been removed from the FY 1999 NOFA
because, for this fiscal year, applications are for FY 1999 funding
only. This correction notice removes this language.
Accordingly, FR Doc. 98-31516, Notice of Funding Availability for:
the HUD-Administered Small Cities Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Program--Fiscal Year 1999; and the Section 108 Loan Guarantee
Program for Small Communities in New York State (FR-4424-N-01),
published in the Federal Register on November 25, 1998 (63 FR 65486),
is corrected as follows:
On page 65497, in the first column, the first paragraph of the
subsection titled ``4. Final Selection'' (the introductory paragraph)
is corrected to read as follows:
The total points received by a project for all of the selection
factors are added, and the project is ranked against all other projects
from all applications regardless of the program areas in which the
projects were rated. The highest ranked projects will be funded to the
extent funds are available. In the case of ties at the funding line,
HUD will use the following criteria in order to break ties:
