SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
The information collection requirements contained in this rule have
been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 and have been assigned OMB
control number 2577-0140.
I. Purpose and Substantive Description
(a) Authority
This program is authorized by section 520 of the National
Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) (approved November 28, 1990, Pub. L. 101-
625), as amended by section 126 of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1992 (HCDA 1992) (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October
28, 1992).
(b) Allocation Amounts
Section 126(a) of HCDA (1992) provides that five percent of any
amount made available in any fiscal year for the Drug Elimination
Program shall be available for Youth Sports Program grants. The
Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and
Independent Agencies Appropriations Act 1993, (approved October 28,
1993, Pub. L. 103-124), (94 App. Act) appropriated $265 million for the
Drug Elimination Program in FY 1994. This appropriation results in
$13,250,000 as the amount set aside for the Youth Sports Program. Of
this amount, $125,000 is being used to fund the FY 1993 application of
the Greenville Housing Authority, which was not funded in FY 1993
because of a computational error, leaving $13,125,000 as the available
amount under this NOFA. Program funds are to be used for sports,
cultural, educational, recreational, or other activities designed to
appeal to youth as alternatives to the drug environment in public or
Indian housing developments.
Because of the limited amount of funding appropriated for this
program, and to ensure that the program is implemented on a broad,
nationwide basis, each applicant may submit only one application. The
maximum annual Youth Sports grant amount per applicant is $125,000. As
more fully explained below, applicants must supplement grant funds with
an amount of funds from non-Federal sources equal to or greater than 50
percent of the amount provided by the grant.
(c) Eligibility
(1) Eligible Applicants
Funding for this program in FY 1994 is limited to PHAs and IHAs.
Although section 520 of NAHA lists seven categories of entities
qualified to receive grants (States; units of general local government;
local park and recreation districts and agencies; public housing
agencies (PHAs); nonprofit organizations providing youth sports
services programs; Indian tribes; and Indian housing authorities
(IHAs)), and HCDA 1992 section 126(b) added institutions of higher
learning that have never participated in a Youth Sports program as
eligible applicants, the 94 App. Act limited the funding for the Drug
Elimination Program to PHAs and IHAs only. Since the funding of the
Youth Sports Program is dependent on the appropriation for the Drug
Elimination Program, the limitations that apply to Drug Elimination
affect Youth Sports as well. Therefore, for FY 1994 only PHAs and IHAs
are eligible applicants for Youth Sports Program Funding.
In designing an activity for funding, PHA and IHA applicants shall
consult with RMCs/RCs where they exist, and with other entities that
would be eligible for funding under this program, as listed above, with
at least two years of experience in designing or operating sports,
cultural, recreational, educational or other activities for youth.
Eligible local entities that are affiliates of national organizations
may rely on the experience of the national organization for this
purpose. These consultations will provide applicants with valuable
resident input and will involve entities with experience in designing
and implementing the eligible types of activities under this program
with PHA and IHA applicants that may not have this type of experience.
These experienced entities may establish a sub-contracting
relationship, in accordance with 24 CFR part 85, with the PHA/IHA if
deemed appropriate by the grantee to further their public/private
partnership. This consultation process will also provide entities that
are not PHAs or IHAs with a greater appreciation and understanding of
the operations and problems of public and Indian housing developments.
The end result will be more effective program activities that make more
efficient use of program funds. This result is expected because it
draws upon and combines the expertise of PHA and IHA applicants with
respect to the operations and problems of public and Indian housing
developments, and the expertise of other entities with respect to
designing and implementing youth activities.
(2) Eligible Activities
Youth Sports Program funds may be used to assist in carrying out
sports, cultural, recreational, educational or other activities for
youth in any of the following manners:
(i) Acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of community
centers, parks, or playgrounds is an eligible activity under the Youth
Sports Program.
(A) Acquisition, construction or rehabilitation costs shall not be
approved unless the applicant demonstrates the need for the type of
facilities to be assisted by the grant (section III.(a)(3) of this
NOFA).
(B) Facilities that receive Youth Sports funding must be used
primarily for youth from the public or Indian housing developments in
which the funded facility is operated (section III.(a)(2)(ii) and
III.(a)(10)(iii) of this NOFA).
(C) Facilities (community centers, parks, or playgrounds) acquired,
constructed, or rehabilitated under this program must be on or adjacent
to the premises of the public housing development identified in the
application for assistance under this program. In the case of Indian
Housing Authorities, the applicant must specify how youth from IHA
developments will have access to the facility, since IHAs often cover
large areas (section III.(a)(9) of this NOFA).
(D) Facilities receiving Youth Sports funding must comply with any
applicable local or tribal building requirements for recreational
facilities (section III.(a)(2)(iii) of this NOFA).
(E) Facilities receiving Youth Sports funding must be used for
Youth Sports activities commensurate with the extent of the Youth
Sports funding. For example, if a facility's operation is funded 60
percent by a Youth Sports grant, then it must be used at least 60
percent for Youth Sports activities.
(F) In accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR 8.21, facilities
should be designed and constructed to be readily accessible to and
usable by individuals with handicaps. Alterations to existing
facilities shall, to the maximum extent feasible, make them made
readily accessible to and usable by individuals with handicaps.
(G) In accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR 8.20, no
qualified applicant with handicaps shall, because a recipient's
facilities are inaccessible to or unusable by individuals with
handicaps, be denied the benefit of, be excluded from participation in,
or otherwise be subjected to discrimination in the program.
(ii) Redesigning or modifying public spaces in public or Indian
housing developments to provide increased utilization of the areas by
Youth Sports activities is an eligible activity under this program.
(A) The construction of sports facilities on public or Indian
housing property to implement Youth Sports activities is permitted
under this program. These facilities may include, but not be limited
to, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, football fields, tutoring
centers, swimming pools, soccer fields, public or Indian housing
community centers, and tennis courts.
(iii) Provision of public services, including salaries and expenses
for staff of youth sports programs, cultural activities, transportation
costs, educational programs relating to drug abuse, and sports and
recreation equipment are eligible activities under this program.
(A) Educational programs for youth relating to illegal drug use are
permitted under this section. The program must be formally organized
and provide the knowledge and skills youth need to make informed
decisions on the potential and immediate dangers of drug abuse and
involvement with illegal drugs. Grantees may contract with drug
education professionals to provide the appropriate training or
workshops. These educational programs may be part of organized sports
activities or other eligible youth activities.
(B) Activities providing an economic/educational orientation for
Youth Sports Program participants are eligible for funding as public
services. These activities must provide, for public or Indian housing
youth, the opportunities for interaction with, or referral to, higher
educational or vocational institutions, and develop the skills of
program participants to pursue educational, vocational, and economic
goals. These activities may also provide public or Indian housing youth
the opportunity to interact with private sector businesses in their
community with the purpose of promoting the development of educational,
vocational, and economic goals in public or Indian housing youth.
(C) The cost of the initial purchase of sports and recreation
equipment to be used by program participants is permitted under this
program.
(D) Cultural and recreational activities, such as ethnic heritage
classes, and art, dance, drama and music appreciation and instruction
programs are eligible Youth Sports Program activities.
(E) Youth leadership skills training for program participants is
permitted under this program. These activities must provide
opportunities designed to involve public and Indian housing youth in
peer leadership roles in the implementation of program activities, for
example, as team or activity captains, counselors to younger program
participants, assistant coaches, and equipment or supplies managers.
Grantees may contract with youth trainers to provide services which may
include training in peer pressure reversal, resistance or refusal
skills, goal planning, parenting skills, and other relevant topics.
(F) Transportation costs directly related to Youth Sports
activities (for example, leasing a vehicle to transport a Youth Sports
team to a game) are eligible program expenses.
(G) The purchase of vehicles under this program is prohibited.
(H) Liability insurance costs directly related to Youth Sports
activities are eligible program expenses.

(d) Selection Criteria
Each application for a grant award that is submitted in a timely
manner to the local HUD field office or, in the case of IHAs, to the
appropriate HUD Office of Native American Programs, and that otherwise
meets the requirements of this NOFA, will be evaluated. An application
must receive a minimum score of 75 points out of the maximum of 120
points that may be awarded under this competition to be eligible for
funding. Grants will be awarded to the three highest-ranked, eligible
PHA applications within each of the following 10 groupings of Area and
State Offices:
New England, New York, New Jersey, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast,
Midwest, Great Plains, Rocky Mountain, Southwest, Northwest/Alaska,
Pacific/Hawaii.

Field ONAP in which an IHA has already received an award, that award
may be made to the next highest scoring IHA from the jurisdiction of a
Field ONAP in which no IHA has yet received an award.
All of the remaining eligible applications, both PHAs and IHAs,

to each activity and service of the program. The budget must identify
the share of the costs of the applicant's Youth Sports activities
provided by a grant under this program and provide a narrative
describing how the share of the costs provided from other sources of
funds (e.g. local or tribal government, corporations, individuals),
including funds from non-Federal sources, will be obtained.
(6) A statement regarding the extent to which the applicant's
proposed Youth Sports activities meet the selection criteria in section
I.(d), above.
(7) A plan designed to eliminate drugs and drug-related problems on
the premises of the housing developments proposed for funding.
Applicants are given a choice to satisfy this requirement in one of two
ways. First, an applicant may submit a current-year plan prepared for
the housing developments in accordance with 24 CFR 961.15 as a part of
a Drug Elimination Program grant. In this case, the applicant must
indicate how its proposed Youth Sports activities will be operated as,
in conjunction with, or in furtherance of the Sec. 961.15 plan. The
other choice is that an applicant may submit an abbreviated plan
prepared for this NOFA as follows:
(i) The plan must describe the drug-related problems in the
developments that are proposed for funding under this program, using:
(A) Objective data, if available, from the local police precinct or
the PHA's or IHA's records on the types, number and sources of drug-
related crime in the developments proposed for assistance. If crime
statistics are not available at the development or precinct level, the
applicant may use other reliable, objective data including those
derived from the records of Resident Management Corporations (RMCs),
Resident Corporations (RCs), or other resident associations. The data
should cover the past one-year period and, to the extent feasible,
should indicate whether these data reflect a percentage increase or
decrease in drug-related crime over the past several years.
(B) Information from other sources which has a direct bearing on
drug-related problems in the developments proposed for assistance.
Examples of these data are: Resident/staff surveys on drug-related
issues or on-site reviews to determine drug activity; vandalism costs
and related vacancies attributable to drug-related crime; information
from schools, health service providers, residents and police.
(ii) The plan must include a narrative discussion of the
applicant's current activities, if any, to eliminate drug-related
problems in the targeted developments. Any efforts being undertaken by
community and governmental entities, residents of the development,
Resident Management Corporations (RMCs), Resident Corporations (RCs),
other resident associations, or any other entities to address the drug-
related problems in the developments proposed for assistance must be
described. The applicant must also indicate how its proposed Youth
Sports activities will be operated as, in conjunction with, or in
furtherance of the other activities described in the plan.
(8) An estimate of the number of youth involved.
(i) The applicant must provide the total estimated number of youth
involved for each proposed activity and participating in youth
leadership assignments (for example, team managers, assistant managers,
team captains) computed on an annual and, if applicable, a session or
seasonal basis (for example, classes or league sports may be organized
in sessions or seasons that run for a certain number of weeks or
months, or more activities may take place and more youth may be
involved on weekends than on weekdays).
(ii) The total estimated number given for each activity must be
further broken down by categories of age (e.g., 5-8 years old, 9-12
years old, etc.), sex (male, female, co-ed), and residency in public or
Indian housing.
(9) A description of the facilities used.
(i) Facilities to be used for Youth Sports activities must be
described in the application with regard to their dimensions, location,
accessibility to the disabled, and the number of youth that can be
accommodated at one time.
(A) In the case of an Indian housing development, if a facility to
be acquired, constructed, or rehabilitated is not located on or
adjacent to the premises of the development to be assisted, the
application must specify how youth from the Indian housing development
will have access to the facility (e.g., transportation will be
provided, transportation service is readily available).
(ii) Where applicable, the application must provide a detailed
explanation of all facility acquisition, construction, rehabilitation,
operation, redesign or modification proposed for funding under this
program.
(A) The application must specify what percent of the facility will
be used for youth activities (as opposed to, for example, senior
citizen or adult activities). This percentage may not be less than the
percentage of Youth Sports funding provided for the facility.
(iii) The application must identify the entity that will be
responsible for the operation of any facility funded by a Youth Sports
grant.
(10) A description of the organization of the applicant's proposed
Youth Sports program, which must detail:
(i) The consultations entered into by the applicant with RMCs/RCs,
where they exist, and other entities experienced in the design and
implementation of the type of proposed youth sports activities;
(ii) The position descriptions, or if the identity of persons who
will fill positions is known, the resumes, of the staff that will be
responsible for managing and operating the Youth Sports activities must
be included in the application; if volunteers are involved, their
number, job descriptions, and hours per week of involvement must be
included;
(iii) The procedures that will be followed to ensure that the Youth
Sports activities or facilities will serve primarily youth from the
public or Indian housing development in which the program to be
assisted by a grant is operated must be explained in the application.
(11) A description of the extent of involvement of local sports
organizations or sports figures.
(i) The applicant must provide documentation of the level of on-
site or other participation by local and nationally affiliated sports
organizations, except as provided in section (ii) below, with at least
two years of organizational and operational experience. These may
include, but are not limited to, strictly sports organizations, such
as, Little Leagues, Midnight Basketball, or professional teams.
Participation by cultural, recreational, or educational organizations
is also permissible. The participation of these groups must be focused
on the youth activities for which the application is prepared.
(ii) The applicant may demonstrate the involvement of local or
national sports, cultural, recreational or educational figures, such as
athletes, coaches, artists, entertainers and teachers in place of, or
in addition to, the participation of organizations. The participation
of these figures must be focused on the youth activities for which the
application is prepared.
(12) A description of plans and resources to continue the Youth
Sports activities beyond the grant term under this program, including
the commitment of entities (e.g., local and tribal governments,
corporations, community organizations) and individuals to continue
their involvement in the applicant's Youth Sports activities and
facilities.
(13) HUD Form 2880.
IV. Corrections to Deficient Applications
(a) HUD will notify an applicant, in writing, of any curable
technical deficiencies in the application. The applicant must submit
corrections in accordance with the information specified in HUD's
letter within 14 calendar days from the date of receipt of HUD's letter
notifying the applicant of any such deficiency.
(b) Curable technical deficiencies relate to items that:
(1) Are not necessary for HUD review under selection criteria/
ranking factors; and
(2) Cannot be submitted after the application due date has expired,
to improve the substantive quality of the proposal. An example of a
technical deficiency would be the failure of an applicant to submit a
certification with its proposal.
V. Other Matters
(a) Environmental Impact
A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) with respect to the
environment has been made in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR
part 50 that implement section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4332. The FONSI is available for public
inspection and copying from 7:30 to 5:30 weekdays in the Office of the
Rules Docket Clerk, room 10276, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC
20401. HUD will review all applications and their proposed activities
in accordance with the environmental requirements of 24 CFR part 50.
(b) Federalism Impact
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a)
of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the
provisions of this NOFA do not have ``federalism implications'' within
the meaning of the Order. The NOFA implements a program that provides
positive sports, cultural, recreational, educational or other
activities designed to appeal to youth as alternatives to the drug
environment in public and Indian housing, and makes available grants to
PHAs and IHAs to help them implement these activities. As such, the
program helps PHAs and IHAs to combat serious drug-related crime
problems in their developments, thereby strengthening their role as
instrumentalities of the States. Further review under the Order is also
unnecessary since the NOFA generally tracks the statute and involves
little implementing discretion.
(c) Family Impact
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official for Executive Order
12606, the Family, has determined that the provisions of this NOFA have
the potential for significant positive impact on family formation,
maintenance and general well-being within the meaning of the Order. The
NOFA implements a program that provides positive sports, cultural,
recreational, educational or other activities designed to appeal to
youth as alternatives to the drug environment in public and Indian
housing, and makes available grants to PHAs and IHAs to help them
implement these activities. As such, the program is intended to improve
the quality of life of public and Indian housing development residents
by reducing the incidence of drug-related crime and should have a
strong positive effect on family formation, maintenance and general
well-being for PHAs and IHAs selected for funding. Further review under
the Order is also not necessary since the NOFA essentially tracks the
authorizing legislation and involves little exercise of HUD discretion.
(d) Section 102 HUD Reform Act
Documentation and public access requirements. HUD will ensure that
documentation and other information regarding each application
submitted pursuant to this NOFA are sufficient to indicate the basis
upon which assistance was provided or denied. This material, including
any letters of support, will be made available for public inspection
for a five-year period beginning not less than 30 days after the award
of the assistance. Material will be made available in accordance with
the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and HUD's implementing
regulations at 24 CFR part 15. In addition, HUD will include the
recipients of assistance pursuant to this NOFA in its quarterly Federal
Register notice of all recipients of HUD assistance awarded on a
competitive basis. (See 24 CFR 12.14(a) and 12.16(b), and the notice
published in the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for
further information on these documentation and public access
requirements.)
Disclosures. HUD will make available to the public for five years
all applicant disclosure reports (HUD Form 2880) submitted in
connection with this NOFA. Update reports (also Form 2880) will be made
available along with the applicant disclosure reports, but in no case
for a period of less than three years. All reports--both applicant
disclosures and updates--will be made available in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and HUD's implementing
regulations at 24 CFR part 15, subpart C, and the notice published in
the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for further
information on these disclosure requirements.)
(e) Section 103 HUD Reform Act.
HUD's regulation implementing section 103 of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 was published May 13,
1991 (56 FR 22088) and became effective on June 12, 1991. That
regulation, codified as 24 CFR part 4, applies to the funding
competition announced today. The requirements of the rule continue to
apply until the announcement of the selection of successful applicants.
HUD employees involved in the review of applications and in the
making of funding decisions are limited by part 4 from providing
advance information to any person (other than an authorized employee of
HUD) concerning funding decisions, or from otherwise giving any
applicant an unfair competitive advantage. Persons who apply for
assistance in this competition should confine their inquiries to the
subject areas permitted under 24 CFR part 4.
Applicants who have questions should contact the HUD Office of
Ethics (202) 708-3815. (This is not a toll-free number.) The Office of
Ethics can provide information of a general nature to HUD employees, as
well. However, a HUD employee who has specific program questions, such
as whether particular subject matter can be discussed with persons
outside the Department, should contact his or her Regional or Field
Office Counsel, or Headquarters counsel for the program to which the
question pertains.
(f) Section 112 HUD Reform Act.
Section 13 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act
contains two provisions dealing with efforts to influence HUD's
decisions with respect to financial assistance. The first imposes
disclosure requirements on those who are typically involved in these
efforts--those who pay others to influence the award of assistance or
the taking of a management action by the Department and those who are
paid to provide the influence. The second restricts the payment of fees
to those who are paid to influence the award of HUD assistance, if the
fees are tied to the number of housing units received or are based on
the amount of assistance received, or if they are contingent upon the
receipt of assistance.
Section 13 was implemented by final rule published in the Federal
Register on May 17, 1991 (56 FR 22912). If readers are involved in any
efforts to influence the Department in these ways, they are urged to
read the final rule, particularly the examples contained in appendix A
of the rule.
Any questions regarding the rule should be directed to Director,
Office of Ethics, room 2158, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410. Telephone:
(202) 708-3815; TDD: (202) 708-1112. (These are not toll-free numbers.)
Forms necessary for compliance with the rule may be obtained from the
local HUD office.
Authority: Sec. 520, National Affordable Housing Act (approved
November 28, 1990, Pub. L. 101-625); sec. 7(d), Department of
Housing and Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3535(d)).
