    ACTION: Amendment of NOFA, announcement of paperwork control number, 
    and extension of deadline.

    SUMMARY: The Department is amending its NOFA for Preservation Support 
    Grants, published on June 14, 1994 (59 FR 30640), and, therefore, is 
    extending the deadline for applications. In addition, because at the 
    time of publication the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) had not 
    issued a control number for the information collection requirements 
    contained in that NOFA, the Department advised potential applicants 
    that the paperwork requirements were subject to OMB approval. Those 
    requirements have now been approved by OMB and the Department is 
    publishing the control number assigned to that paperwork collection.
    
    DATES: The new deadline for submission of applications is September 12, 
    1994. Applications must be physically received in the Preservation 
    Division, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 6286, 451 
    Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410, by 4:30 p.m., EST, on or 
    before the due date.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frank Malone, Director, Office of 
    Preservation and Property Disposition, Department of Housing and Urban 
    Development, Room 6284, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; 
    telephone (202) 708-3555. To provide service for persons who are 
    hearing- or speech-impaired, this number may be reached via TDD by 
    dialing the Federal Information Relay Service on 1-800-877-TDDY (1-800-
    877-8339) or 202-708-9300. (Except for the TDD number, telephone 
    numbers are not toll-free.)
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 14, 1994, the Department published 
    its NOFA for Preservation Support Grants and Notice of Paperwork 
    Submission (59 FR 30640). As a result of questions that have been 
    raised by potential applicants, in this notice the Department is 
    amending certain parts of the NOFA. For further clarification, the 
    Department also is advising potential applicants of changes that have 
    been made in the application kit. Under section 102 of the Department 
    of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 3545) 
    and the requirements of 24 CFR 12.12, the Department therefore is 
    extending the deadline for submitting applications for funds made 
    available under the NOFA until 30 days from today's publication. In 
    addition, the Department announces that the information collection 
    requirements contained in the NOFA have been approved by the Office of 
    Management and Budget (OMB) and have been assigned control number 2502-
    0504.
        Potential applicants have raised several questions about some of 
    the certifications contained in the NOFA and application kit. As a 
    result, one of the certifications (see item 8 in Section V.C, 
    ``Submission Requirements,'' 59 FR at 30648 of the NOFA) has been 
    revised to clarify that, although an applicant should not apply for 
    these funds with the intention of purchasing properties that are to be 
    assisted with these funds, the Department recognizes that future 
    circumstances may warrant the applicant or its affiliate to seek an 
    ownership interest as purchaser of last resort in such properties. In 
    these cases and in recognition of the Department's overriding goal to 
    maintain the greatest possible number of affordable housing units 
    available for moderate-, low- and very low-income families, special 
    dispensation of this rule, on a case by case basis, may be granted by 
    the Department.
        Another certification, included in the application kit as Exhibit 8 
    (pursuant to item 9 in Section V.C of the NOFA), has been revised to 
    clarify that recipients of Preservation Technical Assistance or 
    Resident Capacity Grants are eligible applicants for Preservation 
    Support Grant funds. The applicant must certify that it will perform 
    activities described in its application, and the proscription against 
    the applicant serving as a pass-through intermediary applies to 
    administering allocations of both components of the Preservation 
    Support Grant.
        These revised certifications are available from the Multifamily 
    Housing Clearinghouse, P.O. Box 6424, Rockville, MD 20850, telephone 
    number: 1-800-955-2232. Please refer to FR-3613 and specify that you 
    are seeking the revised certifications. However, applicants may also 
    prepare, execute, and submit their own certifications for these two 
    items, based on the following examples (these certifications may be 
    combined):
    
    Exhibit 8--Certification
    
        As Chief Executive Officer of the organization identified below, I 
    hereby certify that as an applicant for Preservation Support Grant 
    funds, the organization will perform activities described in its 
    application and will not serve as a pass-through intermediary to 
    administer an allocation of the Preservation Support Grant.

    Certification Regarding Ownership Interest
    
        As Chief Executive Officer of the organization identified below, I 
    hereby certify that as an applicant for Preservation Support Grant 
    funds, the organization and its affiliates do not have, and do not 
    intend to seek, an ownership interest in developments that the 
    organization would be assisting with these funds.

        The Department also advises applicants that on the first page of 
    Exhibit 1 in the application kit, item 4 should be corrected: (1) In 
    the first box, to ask a resident-controlled group to indicate whether 
    it is a local group; and (2) to delete from the second box the phrase 
    ``with a majority of board participation by tenants in HUD-assisted 
    projects.'' This change is needed to correct the discrepancy between 
    the NOFA and the application kit definition of a CBO. The correct 
    definition is in 24 CFR 248.101, which requires that the CBO maintain 
    at least one-third of its governing board's membership for low-income 
    neighborhood residents, other low-income community residents, or 
    elected representatives of low-income neighborhood organizations. In 
    addition, page 2 of Exhibit 1 in the application kit is to be deleted; 
    that page was inadvertently included in the application kit and does 
    not apply to this competition.
        Accordingly, the Department announces that the information 
    collection requirements contained in FR Doc. 94-14344, the NOFA for 
    Preservation Support Grants, published on June 14, 1994 (59 FR 30640), 
    have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and 
    have been assigned control number 2502-0504. Further, FR Doc. 94-14344 
    is amended as follows:
        1. On page 30640, column 2, the first sentence in the second 
    paragraph under the heading DATES: is revised to read as follows:
    DATES: * * *
        The deadline for submission of applications is September 12, 1994. 
    * * *
        2. On page 30648, column 3, paragraphs 8 and 9 of Section V.C, 
    ``Submission Requirements,'' are revised to read as follows:
    V. Grant Application Process
    * * * * *
    
    C. Submission Requirements
    
    * * * * *
        (8) Certification that the applicant and any of its affiliates do 
    not have, and do not intend to seek an ownership interest in 
    developments that the organization would be assisting with these funds; 
    and
        (9) Other information and materials as may be described in the 
    application kit, including a certification that the applicant will 
    perform activities described in its application and will not serve as a 
    pass-through intermediary to administer an allocation of the 
    Preservation Support Grant.
    
        Authority: 42 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.; 42 U.S.C. 3535(d).
    
        Dated: August 10, 1994.

    General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 
    Commissioner.
