publication of the NOFA as possible. If
the Phase I ESA indicates possible
presence of contamination and/or
hazards, you must decide whether to
continue with this site or choose
another site. Should you choose another
site, the same Phase I ESA process
identified above must be followed for
the new site. If the property is to be
acquired from the FDIC/RTC, include a
copy of the FDIC/RTC prepared
Transaction Screen Checklist or Phase I
ESA and applicable documentation, per
the FDIC/RTC Environment Guidelines.
If you choose to continue with the
original site on which the Phase I ESA
indicated contamination or hazards, you
must undertake a detailed Phase II ESA
by an appropriate professional. If the
Phase II Assessment reveals site
contamination, you must submit the
extent of the contamination and a plan
for clean-up of the site including a
contract for remediation of the
problem(s) and an approval letter from
the applicable federal, state, and/or
local agency with the jurisdiction over
the site to the local HUD office. The
Phase II ESA and any necessary plans
for clean-up do not have to be submitted
with the application but must be
received by the local HUD office by July
11, 2005. If it is not received by that
date, the site will be rejected and the
application will be placed in Category B
for selection purposes.
On page 14255, section IV.E.5.,
middle column, paragraph 5 is revised
to read as follows:
5. Expiration of Section 811 Funds.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2005, as amended by the Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations Act for
Defense, the Global War on Terror, and
Tsunami Relief, 2005 (Pub. L. 109–13;
approved May 11, 2005) requires HUD
to obligate all Section 811 funds
appropriated for FY2005 by September
30, 2006. Under 31 U.S.C. 1551 et seq.,
no funds can be disbursed from this
account after September 30, 2011.
Under Section 811, obligation of funds
occurs for both capital advances and
project rental assistance upon fund
reservation and acceptance. If all funds
are not disbursed by HUD and expended
by the project Owner by September 30,
2011, the funds, even though obligated,
will expire and no further
disbursements can be made from this
account. In submitting an application,
you need to carefully consider whether
your proposed project can be completed
through final capital advance closing no
later than September 30, 2011.
Furthermore, all unexpended balances,
including any remaining balance on
PRAC contracts, will be cancelled as of
October 1, 2011. Amounts needed to

remaining term on the affected contracts
beyond that date will have to be funded
from other current appropriations.

HUD–27300 and that additional
information is available in the
SuperNOFA General Section.
On page 16574, HUD is adding
guidance to applicants in a revised and
renumbered section IV.B.9, entitled,
‘‘Further Documentation Guidance on
Narrative Exhibits and Specific

applicants should fill in the information
as requested on the form and refer to
Section V.A.2.g of the General Section
for more information.
On page 16576, paragraphs C.1.a. and
C.2, HUD is extending the application
submission date from June 29, 2005 to
July 29, 2005. A similar change is being
made on page 16577, paragraph C.3.b to
reflect the revised submission date.
On page 16578, paragraph IV.F.2.,
HUD is adding a reminder to applicants
that registration at Grants.gov may take
more than two weeks.
On page 16580, a new paragraph
VIV.F.8. will be added to provide
guidance for first time Grants.gov users.
On page 16582, sections V.A.1.i.(1)
through (3) are streamlined to provide
information that is more concise and
section V.A.1.i(4) is renumbered to
V.A.1.i.(2).
For clarity and consistency, on page
16587, sections V.A.8.a.(4)(iv), (v) and
(vi) are being renumbered to 4(d), (e),
and (f). Also on page 16587, in order to
alleviate confusion, sections
V.A.8.a.(4)(b), (c), (d), (e), and (f), are
amended to explain that the number of
public housing units will be the number
of existing public housing units.
Accordingly, the Notice of Funding

Severely Distressed Public Housing HOPE VI Revitalization Grants for
Fiscal Year 2005 announcing the availability of approximately $110
million in FY2005 funds for HOPE VI Revitalization Program grants, plus
approximately $25 million additional for grantees' first-year, grant-
related housing choice voucher (HCV) assistance. This notice announces
corrections to the NOFA.
Summary of Technical Corrections
On page 16554, Overview Information, paragraph F, is updated with
an extension of the application submission deadline. The new
application submission deadline is July 29, 2005.
On page 16558, in section III.C.1.k, HUD is revising a cross-
reference to advise applicants that section IV.B.6.f of this NOFA
contains documentation requirements. Also on page 16558, HUD is
revising section III.C.2.a to include expanded information about false
statements and the related documentation requirements.
On page 16559, in sections III.C.2.b.(2), III.C.2.c.(4), and
III.C.3.a.(2), HUD is clarifying three cross-references that should
help applicants find important documentation information.
On page 16568, HUD is revising paragraph IV.A.3. to clarify that
the information applicants need for their applications is available on
the Internet at https://www.grants.gov. Additional information that are
not included in the Grants.gov application package will be available on
the Internet at https://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/otherhud.cfm, and
https://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/programs/ph/hope6/grants/fy05/index.cfm.
On page 16568, HUD is revising paragraph IV.B.1.a. by adding
additional information. The new information explains that registration
of the AOR at Grants.gov may take more than two weeks. If the AOR is
not registered by the application submission date, applicants will not
be able to submit applications to Grants.gov in a timely manner. Late
applications are not considered for funding.
On page 16571, in the milestone table and related text in section
IV.B.4.d, HUD is revising the dates to better reflect anticipated grant
execution and other submission dates. In addition, on page 16571 and
16572, section IV.B.5 is being revised and a new section IV.B.6 is
added to better explain the curable and non-curable applicant and third
party certification thresholds documentation. Sections that follow this
revised section IV.B.5 and IV.B.6 will be renumbered accordingly.
On page 16572, in section IV.B.7.a, HUD is revising the
documentation instructions to state that HUD will also obtain
information internally on applicant scores for the Regular Maintenance
defect rate. Section IV.B.7.b.(2), also on page 16572, is being revised
to correct a cross-reference to information about the subjects and
items that should be included in the Rating Factor narrative.
On page 16572, paragraphs IV.B.7.b.(3)(a), IV.B.7.b.(3)(b)(i) and
IV.B.7.b.(3)(b)(ii) and on page 16583, paragraph V.A.2.c.(1) are all
revised to indicate that certification of obligation
[[Page 31493]]
rate of Capital Funds include the fiscal years 2000-2004.
On page 16573, in section IV.B.7.j, HUD is clarifying that
applicants should include supporting references or documentation for
affirmative statements as requested on the form HUD-27300 and that
additional information is available in the SuperNOFA General Section.
On page 16574, HUD is adding guidance to applicants in a revised
and renumbered section IV.B.9, entitled, ``Further Documentation
Guidance on Narrative Exhibits and Specific Attachments''
On page 16575, in section IV.B.9.l.(1), is being revised to correct
a cross-reference to information about the Excel workbook that will
assist applicants in determining TDC limits required in Section IV.E.5.
On page 16576, in section IV.B.9.ll.(1), HUD is clarifying that
applicants should fill in the information as requested on the form and
refer to Section V.A.2.g of the General Section for more information.
On page 16576, paragraphs C.1.a. and C.2, HUD is extending the
application submission date from June 29, 2005 to July 29, 2005. A
similar change is being made on page 16577, paragraph C.3.b to reflect
the revised submission date.
On page 16578, paragraph IV.F.2., HUD is adding a reminder to
applicants that registration at Grants.gov may take more than two
weeks.
On page 16580, a new paragraph VIV.F.8. will be added to provide
guidance for first time Grants.gov users.
On page 16582, sections V.A.1.i.(1) through (3) are streamlined to
provide information that is more concise and section V.A.1.i(4) is
renumbered to V.A.1.i.(2).
For clarity and consistency, on page 16587, sections
V.A.8.a.(4)(iv), (v) and (vi) are being renumbered to 4(d), (e), and
(f). Also on page 16587, in order to alleviate confusion, sections
V.A.8.a.(4)(b), (c), (d), (e), and (f), are amended to explain that the
number of public housing units will be the number of existing public
housing units.
Accordingly, the Notice of Funding Availability for Revitalization
