for the Public Housing Neighborhood
Networks Program From Fiscal Year
2003 Funding
Office of Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.
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.

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.

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

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. The list
of cities and towns in the Massachusetts
part of the Boston, MA-NH PMSA
