    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) 
    announcing HUD's Fiscal Year (FY) 1995 funding of $250,391,741 under 
    the Public and Indian Housing Drug Elimination Program (PHDEP) was 
    published on January 5, 1995 (59 FR 1846). A notice making several 
    corrections to the NOFA was published in the Federal Register on 
    February 2, 1995 (60 FR 6548). This notice amends the FY 1995 PHDEP 
    NOFA to permit certain public housing authorities to receive funding 
    for the purchase of police clothing, equipment, and vehicles.
        Paragraphs I.(c)(1)(ii)(j)(5) and I.(c)(10)(v) of the NOFA do not 
    permit funding to purchase or lease any military or law enforcement

    firearms/weapons, military or police vehicles; including cars, vans, 
    buses, protective vests, and any other supportive equipment. Paragraph 
    I.(c)(10)(iv) of the NOFA does not permit funding for the purchase or 
    lease of law enforcement and/or any other vehicles, including cars, 
    vans, buses, and motorcycles.
        This notice amends paragraphs I.(c)(1)(j)(5), I.(c)(10)(iv), and 
    I.(c)(10)(v) to permit public housing authorities which have been 
    identified in paragraph I.(c)(1)(ii) of the NOFA as having public 
    housing police departments to receive funding for the purchase of 
    clothing, equipment, and vehicles that support their mission.
        Accordingly, FR Doc. 95-260, the FY 1995 NOFA for the Public and
