Previous Request for Comments This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The Coast Guard has already published the 60-day notice required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2) (69 FR 56782, September 22, 2004). That notice elicited one comment to information collection 1625–0036. The commenter states that the information collection is not adequate to protect the U.S. coastal environment and suggests keeping satellite records of our coastline and requiring foreign ships to notify the Coast Guard prior to entering our waters. In general, the comment is beyond the scope of this information collection. Information collection 1625–0036 aids the Coast Guard in determining if a tank vessel complies with certain safety and environmental protection standards. Tank vessel design, construction and system operating information must be submitted and/or maintained on board for compliance with these standards. Details of the collection can be found in the supporting statement in the docket. COI 1625–0036 is one of a number of Coast Guard information collections related to environmental protection and maritime security. For example, COI 1625–0100—not part of this notice— relates to the Coast Guard requirement that certain vessels report to the Coast Guard 96 hours in advance of arrival to a U.S. port. Information Collection Requests 1. Title: Plan Approval and Records for U.S. and Foreign Tank Vessels Carrying Oil in Bulk. OMB Control Number: 1625–0036.

Burden Estimates: The estimated burden is 582 hours a year. 2. Title: Application for Permit to Transport Municipal and Commercial Waste. OMB Control Number: 1625–0058. Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection. Affected Public: Owners and operators of vessels. Form: None. Abstract: This information collection provides the basis for issuing or denying a permit for the transportation of municipal or commercial waste in the coastal waters of the United States. Burden Estimates: The estimated burden is 69 hours a year. 3. Title: Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel Safety Regulations. OMB Control Number: 1625–0061.

ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability from Fiscal Year 2003 Funds for the Public Housing Neighborhood Networks Program. AGENCY: SUMMARY: On April 25, 2003, HUD published a notice of funding availability (NOFA) announcing the availability of Fiscal Year (FY) 2003 funds for the Public Housing Neighborhood Networks (NN) program. This notice announces the availability of $947,098 in FY2003 NN funds. These funds were erroneously awarded to ineligible nonprofit organizations. Subsequently, the awards were cancelled. DATES: Application Due Date: March 21, 2005. Applicants should mail their applications to Dina LehmannKim, Office of Public Housing and Voucher Programs, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410–5000. Applicants should consult the April 25, 2003, NOFA for additional mailing and receipt procedures. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dina Lehmann-Kim at the above address; telephone (202) 708–4932 ext. 3410 (this is not a toll-free number). Individuals ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 with speech or hearing impairments may access this telephone number through TTY by calling the toll-free Federal Information Relay Service at (800) 877–8339. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background On April 25, 2003 (68 FR 21509), HUD published a NOFA announcing the availability of $14,902,500 in FY2003 funds for the NN Program. Among the recipients of this funding were four nonprofit organizations. HUD later determined that these nonprofit organizations were ineligible to receive funding under the 2003 NOFA. Under section 9(d)(1)(E) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(d)(1)(E)), the provision of Capital Funds for the Neighborhood Networks program is limited to Public Housing Authorities (PHAs). HUD thus cancelled the awards to the ineligible nonprofit organizations. II. This Notice This notice announces the availability of $947,098 in FY2003 funds for the Public Housing Neighborhood Networks program. These funds will be awarded under the same criteria published in the SuperNOFA on April 25, 2003 (68 FR 21002). Applicants should refer to the General Section of the SuperNOFA as well as to the Program Section in order to ensure that all application requirements are met. The General Section, Program Section, and required forms of the 2003 SuperNOFA may be downloaded from the following Web site: https://www.hud.gov/library/ bookshelf18/supernofa/nofa03/ fundsavail.cfm. Applicants also should review the technical correction made to the 2003 NN NOFA. The technical correction also is available from the above Web site. This announcement also provides the due date for submitting applications for funding available under this notice. The competition for the funding under this NOFA will be limited to the following four PHAs: (1) The District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA), (2) the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee (HACM), (3) Memphis Housing Authority (MHA), and (4) the Schenectady Municipal Housing Authority (SMHA). These are the four PHAs whose residents would have been served by the four ineligible nonprofit organizations. Making these PHAs eligible to apply for this funding will help harmonize the error made by HUD and avoid compromising the benefits that otherwise would have been received by the residents.
