ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: On November 30, 2004, HUD published a notice that designated ‘‘Difficult Development Areas’’ for purposes of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 42).

HACM ...................................................... MHA ......................................................... SMHA ...................................................... Background On November 30, 2004 (69 FR 69730), HUD published a notice in the Federal Register at 69 FR 69730 that designated Difficult Development Areas for each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The designations of Difficult Development Areas in the November 30, 2004, notice are based on final fiscal year 2004 Fair Market Rents (FMRs), 2004 very-low income limits (VLILs), and 2000 Census population counts as explained in the November 30, 2004, notice. The November 30, 2004, notice advised that designations of Qualified Census Tracts under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code published December 12, 2002 (67 FR 76451), as supplemented on December 19, 2003 (68 FR 70982), remain in effect. This Notice HUD identified two technical errors in the November 30, 2004, publication, in FR Doc 04–26328, which are corrected by this notice published in today’s edition of the Federal Register. First, the following language was inadvertently included in the ‘‘Explanation of HUD Designation PO 00000 Maximum grant amount Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 DCHA—Up to $299,998 HACM—Up to $100,000 Memphis HA—Up to $293,825 SMHA—Up to $253,275 Methodology section,’’ under the heading C. Exceptions to OMB Definitions of MSAs/PMSAs and Other Geographic Matters (See 69 FR 69732 at end of first column continuing to second column.): Certain nonmetropolitan county equivalent areas in Alaska for which FMRs and VLILs are calculated and thus form the basis of Difficult Development Area determinations are no longer recognized as geographic entities by the Bureau of the Census. Therefore, no 2000 Census population counts are produced for these areas. HUD estimated the 2000 population of these areas as follows: 1. The 2000 Population of Denali Borough (1,893) was allocated entirely to the YukonKoyukuk Census Area. The part of Denali Borough created from the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area was deemed uninhabited after examination of Census Block data for, and maps of, the area of Denali Borough formerly in the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area. 2. The population of Yakutat City and Borough (808) was allocated to the former Skagway-Yakutat-Angoon Census Area (680) and the Valdez-Cordova Census Area (128). The populations of Yakutat City and Borough Census Blocks located east of 141° west longitude were allocated to the SkagwayYakutat-Angoon Census Area. The populations of Yakutat City and Borough Census Blocks located west of 141° west longitude were allocated to the ValdezCordova Census Area. The above language was in error because in fact, HUD computed and published FY2004 Fair Market Rents and Very-Low Income Limits for all of the nonmetropolitan county equivalent areas in Alaska as demarcated in the 2000 Census. HUD used the FY2004 Fair Market Rents and Very-Low Income Limits to designate the 2005 Difficult Development Areas. Therefore, HUD did not use the above population allocation procedure in the designation of the 2005 Difficult Development Areas. Second, in the table enumerating the 2005 Metropolitan Difficult Development Areas, the name of one of the towns in the Massachusetts part of the Boston, MA-NH PMSA did not appear due to a formatting error.

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.

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
