[Docket No. FR-4015-N-01]
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Youth Sports Program is authorized by 
Section 520 of the National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) (approved 
November 28, 1990, Pub. L. 101-625) (42 U.S.C. 11903a). Section 126(a) 
of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (HCDA 1992) (Pub. 
L. 102-550, approved October 28, 1992) amended a section of the Public 
and Indian Housing Drug Elimination Program at 42 U.S.C. 11909(c) to 
provide that 5 percent of any amounts made available in any fiscal year 
for Drug Elimination Program grants shall be available for Youth Sports 
Program grants.
    HUD's Fiscal Year (FY) 1996 appropriations act, The Omnibus 
Consolidated Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-
134, approved April 26, 1996) appropriated $290 million for the Drug 
Elimination Program in FY 1996. This Act also provides that, 
notwithstanding 42 U.S.C. 11909(c), HUD ``may determine not to use any 
such funds to provide public housing youth sports grants.'' In FY 1996, 
the Department will not make funds competitively available for the 
Public Housing Youth Sports Program. Applications will not be solicited 
and awards will not be made this fiscal year under the Youth Sports 
Program.
    In addition, this notice corrects a funding error resulting from 
the FY 1994 Youth Sports NOFA competition. Following an appeal by the 
Lexington-Fayette Urban County Housing Authority for reconsideration of 
its FY 1994 Youth Sports score, HUD determined that this application 
qualified for funding. However, because all FY 1994 and FY 1995 funds 
have already been awarded, HUD has determined to correct this error by 
using FY 1996 funds to make the award. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-235, approved December 15, 1989), HUD 
is hereby publishing the name, address, and amount of that award.
    Program Name: Youth Sports Program.
    Statute: Section 520 of the National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) 
(approved November 28, 1990, Pub. L. 101-625) (42 U.S.C. 11903a).
    Funding Recipient (Name and Address): Lexington-Fayette Urban 
County Housing Authority, 300 New Circle Road, N.W. at Russell Cave 
Road, Lexington, Kentucky 40505, [phone].
    Amount of Award: $125,000.

    Dated: June 5, 1996.
Kevin Emanuel Marchman,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
