[Docket No. N-94-3486; FR-3288-N-05]
NOFA for Technical Assistance Planning Grants for Resident
Groups, Community Groups, Community-Based Nonprofit Organizations
(CBOs), and Resident Councils (RCs) Under the Low-Income Housing
Preservation and Resident Homeownership Act of 1990: Technical
Correction
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing
Commissioner, HUD.
ACTION: Technical amendment to NOFA.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice amends the NOFA published at 57 FR 40570
(September 3, 1992) and amended at 57 FR 56929 (December 1, 1992) and
58 FR 8766 (February 17, 1993), to allow funding of eligible grant
activities prior to the grant award if there is a delay in the award
subsequent to submission of an acceptable application package. For a
variety of reasons, numerous grantees under this NOFA have not been
awarded grants during the appropriate selection timeframe. Due to the
time-sensitive nature of the Preservation sales program, grantees in
these cases may be precluded from moving forward with activities
critical to achieving a resident-supported purchase in a timely manner.
This notice amends the current NOFA to allow funding for grant
activities performed subsequent to the 30-day departmental application
review period, if the Department has not yet awarded grant funds.
Because there can be no guarantee of funding prior to grant award,
activities performed prior to grant award are performed at the
applicant's own risk. All activities performed must have been included
in the applicant's original submission package and no funds will be
released to the recipient until after a grant is formally awarded. This
amendment applies to all grants awarded under this NOFA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Accordingly, FR Doc. 92-21232, published at
57 FR 40570 (September 3, 1992) and amended at 57 FR 56929 (December 1,
1992) and at 58 FR 8766 (February 17, 1993), is further amended to:

* * * * *
B. Allocation of Amounts
* * * * *
Any expenses incurred by an applicant prior to being awarded a
grant under this NOFA will not be reimbursed from the grant unless the
grant award is delayed by the Department. In such case, funds for grant
activities which are included in the original application submission
and performed prior to grant award but beginning no earlier than 30
days after an acceptable application submission may be reimbursed at
grant award. Once a Plan of Action is approved and the purchase
completed, the purchaser may be reimbursed for certain expenses
pursuant to 24 CFR 248.157(m) (6) and (7) that are not covered by
grants received under this NOFA.

acceptable application submission. In the latter case, all activities
must be included in the original grant application submission package
and funds will not be released prior to grant award.
