[Docket No. N-94-3749; FR-3660-N-02]
Notice of Extension for Public and Indian Housing Youth Sports
Program; Notice of Funding Availability
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing.
ACTION: Notice of extension of time for submission of applications.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On May 11, 1994, HUD published a Notice of Funding
Availability for the Public and Indian Housing Youth Sports Program,
requesting applications by June 20, 1994. The purpose of this Notice is
to extend the time for submission of applications until July 20, 1994.
DATES: The application due date originally announced for June 20, 1994
is extended by this notice to July 20, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robin Prichard, Drug-Free
Neighborhoods Division, Office of Resident Initiatives, Public and
Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451
Seventh Street SW., Washington, D.C. 20410, telephone (202)708-1197. A
telecommunications device for deaf persons (TDD) is available at
(202)708-0850. (These are not toll-free telephone numbers.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This program is authorized by Section 520 of
the National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) (approved November 28, 1990,
Pub. L. 101-625). In general, Youth Sports Program funds may be used to
assist in carrying out sports, cultural, recreational, educational or
other activities for youth.
A FY 1994 Notice of Fund Availability (NOFA) for the above-
described program was published on May 11, 1994 (59 FR 24548). The
original notice provided 41 days--until June 20, 1994--for applications
in response to the NOFA. The Department has received numerous
indications from prospective applicants that the allotted time for
submitting applications is too short to permit the preparation and
presentation of the necessary materials.
In response to these concerns, the Department is extending the
deadline for submission of applications for the FY 1994 funding round.
It is hoped that this extension of time will expand the number and the
quality of applications that HUD receives for funding.
Applications will now be due on or before 4:30 PM local time, on
Wednesday, July 20, 1994. An original and two copies of the application
must be received by the deadline at the local HUD Field Office with
jurisdiction over Public Housing Agency (PHA) applicants, Attention:
Assisted Housing Management Branch Director (or, in the case of Indian
Housing Authority (IHA) applicants, in the local HUD Office of Indian
Programs, Attention: Office of Indian Programs Director). (A listing of
the addresses of HUD Field Offices and Indian Field Offices is included
as an appendix to the May 11, 1994 NOFA.) This application deadline is
firm as to date and hour. In the interest of fairness to all competing
applicants, the Department will treat as ineligible for consideration
any application that is received after the deadline. Applicants should
take this practice into account and make early submission of their
materials to avoid any risk of loss of eligibility brought about by
unanticipated delays or other delivery-related problems. It is not
sufficient for an application to bear a postage date within the
submission time period. Applications submitted by facsimile are not
acceptable. Applications received after the deadline will not be
considered.
Dated: June 14, 1994.
Michael B. Janis,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
