beginning July 14, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    The information collection requirements contained in this notice 
were submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520) and have been assigned OMB control number 2577-0198. An agency 
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, 
a collection of information unless the collection displays a valid 
control number.

Promoting Comprehensive Approaches to Housing and Community Development

    HUD is interested in promoting comprehensive, coordinated 
approaches to housing and community development. Economic development, 
community development, public housing revitalization, homeownership, 
assisted housing for special needs populations, supportive services, 
and welfare-to-work initiatives can work better if linked at the local 
level. Toward this end, the Department in recent years has developed 
the Consolidated Planning process designed to help communities 
undertake such approaches.
    In this spirit, it may be helpful for applicants under this NOFA to 
be aware of other related HUD NOFAs that have recently been published 
or are expected to be published in this fiscal year. By reviewing these 
NOFAs with respect to their program purposes and the eligibility of 
applicants and activities, applicants may be able to relate the 
activities proposed for funding under this NOFA to the recent and 
upcoming NOFAs and to the community's Consolidated Plan.
    The related NOFAs that the Department has published are as follows: 
The NOFA for the Continuum of Care Assistance, published on April 8, 
1997 (62 FR 17024); the NOFA for the Section 8 Mainstream Housing 
Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities, published on April 10, 
1997 (62 FR 17666); the NOFA for the Rental Assistance for Persons with 
Disabilities in Support of Designated Housing Allocation Plans, 
published on April 10, 1997 (62 FR 17672); Family Unification NOFA, 
published on April 18, 1997 (62 FR 19208); the NOFA for Housing 
Opportunities for Persons with Aids, published on May 7, 1997 (62 FR 
25082); the NOFA for the Supportive Housing for the Elderly published 
on May 27, 1997 (62 FR 28762); and the NOFA for Supportive Housing for 
Persons with Disabilities published on May 27, 1997 (62 FR 28776).
    To foster comprehensive, coordinated approaches by communities, the 
Department intends for the remainder of FY 1997 to continue to alert 
applicants of HUD's NOFA activity. In addition, a complete schedule of 
NOFAs to be published during the fiscal year and those already 
published appears under the HUD Homepage on the Internet, which can be 
accessed at http://www.hud.gov.nofas.html. Additional steps to better 
coordinate HUD's NOFAs are being considered for FY 1998.
    For help in obtaining a copy of your community's Consolidated Plan, 
please contact the community development office of your municipal 
government.

Service Coordinator Funding

    Service Coordinators are authorized by sections 671, 674, 676 and 
677 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (the Act) (42 
U.S.C. 13632). A service coordinator is a social service staff person 
hired by the project owner/management company. The coordinator is 
responsible for assuring that elderly residents of the project, 
especially those who are frail or disabled, and those residents who are 
persons with disabilities are linked to the supportive services they 
need to continue living independently in that project. The service 
coordinator, however, may not require any elderly or disabled family to 
accept the supportive services.
    This Federal Register Notice makes available a total of $5,000,000 
in FY 1997 funding from the $60,000,000 earmark in the Community 
Development Block Grants Fund account, 110 Stat. 2887, September 26, 
1997. This $5,000,000 is being made available to provide service 
coordinators for Section 8, 221(d)(3) and 236 projects. All requests 
must be for eligible projects which are housing for the elderly and 
persons with disabilities. Eligible projects include any building 
within a mixed-use project that was designated for occupancy by elderly 
persons or persons with disabilities at its inception, or although not 
so designated, for which the eligible owner gives preferences in tenant 
selection (with HUD approval) for all units in the eligible project to 
eligible elderly persons or persons with disabilities. Additionally, 
projects must:

--Have at least 40 rental units (Two or more projects having at least 
40 rental units in combination thereof may also apply.);

[[Page 35061]]

--Have frail, disabled or ``at risk'' residents which total at least 25 
percent of the tenants;
--Be finally closed;
--Be current in mortgage payments or have a current workout agreement;
--For Section 8 projects, meet housing quality standards and for 
Section 221(d)(3) and Section 236 projects, be in good repair; and
--Have no outstanding findings of civil rights violations.

    There is no deadline for submission of requests. State and area 
offices must process and approve or reject requests within 45 days of 
receipt. Requests will be submitted by the State and area offices to 
HUD Headquarters for funding. All projects will be funded as they are 
submitted and approved, subject to the availability of funds.
    When dollars designated in each Section 8 service coordinator 
category of grant funds are exhausted, owners may request processing 
under Housing Notice H-94-98, extended by H-96-34, ``Funding a Service 
Coordinator in Eligible Housing Projects for Elderly, Disabled, or 
Families by Using Residual Receipts, Budget-Based Rent Increases or 
Special Adjustments'', which allows approval of a coordinator using 
residual receipts, the budget-based rent increase process, or contract 
rents adjusted by the AAF. Notice H-94-98 will be extended for 
continued use.

Other Matters

    (a) Environmental Impact. This NOFA does not direct, provide for 
assistance or loan and mortgage insurance for, or otherwise govern or 
regulate real property acquisition, disposition, leasing, 
rehabilitation, alteration, demolition, or new construction, or 
establish, revise or provide for standards for construction or 
construction materials, manufactured housing, or occupancy. 
Accordingly, under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(1), this NOFA is categorically 
excluded from environmental review under the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321).
    (b) Executive Order 12612, Federalism. 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 
makes funds available for project owners to employ or otherwise retain 
the services of up to one FSS program coordinator for one year. As 
such, there are no direct implications on the relationship between the 
national government and the states or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities among various levels of government.
    (c) Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities. Applicants for funding 
under this NOFA are subject to the provisions of Section 319 of the 
Department of Interior and Related Agencies Appropriation Act for 
Fiscal Year 1991, 31 U.S.C. Section 1352 (the Byrd Amendment) and to 
the provisions of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104-65 
(December 19, 1995).
    The Byrd Amendment, which is implemented in regulations at 24 CFR 
Part 87, prohibits applicants for Federal contracts and grants from 
using appropriated funds to attempt to influence Federal Executive or 
legislative officers or employees in connection with obtaining such 
assistance, or with its extension, continuation, renewal, amendment or 
modification. The Byrd Amendment applies to the funds that are the 
subject of this NOFA. Therefore, applicants must file a certification 
stating that they have not made and will not make any prohibited 
payments and, if any payments or agreement to make payments of 
nonappropriated funds for these purposes have been made, a form SF-LLL 
disclosing such payments must be submitted.
    The Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104-65 (December 19, 
1995), which repealed Section 112 of the HUD Reform Act and resulted in 
the elimination of the regulations at 24 CFR part 86, requires all 
persons and entities who lobby covered Executive or Legislative Branch 
officials to register with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of 
the House of Representatives and file reports concerning their lobbying 
activities.
