AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: On March 8, 2006, HUD
published its Fiscal Year (FY) 2006
SuperNOFA (SuperNOFA), for HUD’s
Discretionary Grant Programs. This
document makes corrections to the
notices of funding availability (NOFA)
for the Section 202 Supportive Housing
for the Elderly Program (Section 202)
and the Section 811 Supportive Housing
for Persons with Disabilities Program
(Section 811). Through this notice, HUD
is announcing that it has amended its

requirement for the preparation of Phase
I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA)
to permit HUD to accept as an
acceptable Phase I ESA, either one that
had been prepared based on the current
American Society for Testing and
Material (ASTM) Standard E 1527–05 or
the previous Standard E 1527–00.
Because the requirement to submit a
Phase I ESA is a threshold issue that
does not affect an applicant’s scoring,
HUD is not reopening either the Section
202 or Section 811 competitions and
will not accept additional applications.
DATES: The application submission
dates for the Section 202 and Section
811 programs of the FY2006
SuperNOFA remain as published in the
Federal Register on March 8, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
the programs listed in this notice, please
contact the office or individual listed
under Section VII of the individual
program sections of the SuperNOFA,
published on March 8, 2006.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
8, 2006 (71 FR 11712), HUD published
its Notice of HUD’s Fiscal Year (FY)
2006, SuperNOFA for HUD’s
Discretionary Grant Programs. The
FY2006 SuperNOFA announced the
availability of approximately $2.2
billion in HUD assistance. On April 28,
2006, HUD published (71 FR 25208), a
notice that further clarified the Section
202 and Section 811 NOFAs. This
notice published in today’s Federal
Register corrects the Section 202 and
Section 811 NOFAs. As described in
further detail below, this notice
announces that for both the Section 202
and Section 811 programs, HUD will
accept as a Phase I ESA, either one that
had been prepared based on the current
ASTM E 1527–05 or the previous E
1527–00. Since the requirement to
submit a Phase I ESA is a threshold
issue that does not affect an applicant’s
scoring, HUD is not reopening either the
Section 202 or Section 811 competitions
and will not accept additional
applications.
I. Changes to the Section 202 and
Section 811 NOFAs
HUD is amending its Section 202 and
Section 811 NOFAs to permit HUD to
accept Phase I ESAs that were prepared
in accordance with either the current
ASTM E 1527–05 or the previous E
1527–00. This amendment recognizes
that the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), in its final rule entitled,
‘‘Standards and Practices for All
Appropriate Inquires’’ (70 FR 66070,
November 1, 2005) provided, that until
the rule’s effective date, November 1,
2006, either ASTM Standard E 1527–00
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:20 Aug 02, 2006
Jkt 208001
or 1527–05 could be used to comply
with 40 CFR 312.23 through 312.31, its
rules implementing the ‘‘all appropriate
inquiry’’ (AAI) requirements of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.).
As a result, HUD decided to be
proactive by requiring, in its FY2006
Section 202 and Section 811 NOFAs,
that the Phase I ESA be prepared in
accordance with ASTM Standard E
1527–05 instead of ASTM Standard E
1527–00. Unfortunately, many Section
202 and 811 applicants and the
environmental professionals employed
by the applicants misread,
misinterpreted or were confused by
HUD’s revised Phase I requirements and
did not perform the Phase I ESAs in
accordance with ASTM Standard E
1527–05. HUD has determined,
therefore, that it would be in the
public’s best interest to amend the
FY2006 Section 202 and Section 811
NOFAs to permit HUD to accept the
Phase I ESA prepared in accordance
with either ASTM Standard E 1527–00
or ASTM Standard E 1527–05.
II. Summary of Corrections
Section 202 Program. On page 12014,
section III.C.2.b.(3)(c)(i), Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA),
third column, the requirement that the
Phase I ESA be prepared in accordance

to permit HUD to accept, Phase I ESAs
that have been prepared in accordance

following corrections are made.
1. Section 202 Supportive Housing for
the Elderly Program.
On page 12014, third column, revise
section III.C.2.b.(3)(c)(i) to read as

and submit a Phase I ESA, prepared in
accordance with ASTM Standard E
1527–05, as amended, or ASTM
Standard E 1527–00, as amended,
completed or updated no earlier than
six months prior to the application
deadline date. The Phase I ESA must be
completed and submitted with the
application. Therefore, it is important
that you start the Phase I ESA process
as soon after publication of the
SuperNOFA as possible. To help you
choose an environmentally safe site,
HUD invites you to review the
documents ‘‘Choosing an
Environmentally Safe Site’’ and
‘‘Supplemental Guidance,
Environmental Information,’’ which are
available on the HUD Web site at

follows:
(vii) A Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment (ESA), in accordance with
ASTM Standards E 1527–05, as
amended, or ASTM Standard E 1527–
00, as amended, must be undertaken
and completed by you and submitted
with the application. In order for the
Phase I ESA to be acceptable, it must
have been completed or updated no

is important to start the site assessment
process as soon after the publication of
the NOFA as possible.

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.
ACTION: Super Notice of Funding Availability (SuperNOFA) for HUD
Discretionary Grant Programs; Correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On March 8, 2006, HUD published its Fiscal Year (FY) 2006
SuperNOFA (SuperNOFA), for HUD's Discretionary Grant Programs. This
document makes corrections to the notices of funding availability
(NOFA) for the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program
(Section 202) and the Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with
Disabilities Program (Section 811). Through this notice, HUD is
announcing that it has amended its
[[Page 44039]]
requirement for the preparation of Phase I Environmental Site
Assessments (ESA) to permit HUD to accept as an acceptable Phase I ESA,
either one that had been prepared based on the current American Society
for Testing and Material (ASTM) Standard E 1527-05 or the previous
Standard E 1527-00. Because the requirement to submit a Phase I ESA is
a threshold issue that does not affect an applicant's scoring, HUD is
not reopening either the Section 202 or Section 811 competitions and
will not accept additional applications.
DATES: The application submission dates for the Section 202 and Section
811 programs of the FY2006 SuperNOFA remain as published in the Federal
Register on March 8, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For the programs listed in this
notice, please contact the office or individual listed under Section
VII of the individual program sections of the SuperNOFA, published on
March 8, 2006.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 8, 2006 (71 FR 11712), HUD
published its Notice of HUD's Fiscal Year (FY) 2006, SuperNOFA for
HUD's Discretionary Grant Programs. The FY2006 SuperNOFA announced the
availability of approximately $2.2 billion in HUD assistance. On April
28, 2006, HUD published (71 FR 25208), a notice that further clarified
the Section 202 and Section 811 NOFAs. This notice published in today's
Federal Register corrects the Section 202 and Section 811 NOFAs. As
described in further detail below, this notice announces that for both
the Section 202 and Section 811 programs, HUD will accept as a Phase I
ESA, either one that had been prepared based on the current ASTM E
1527-05 or the previous E 1527-00. Since the requirement to submit a
Phase I ESA is a threshold issue that does not affect an applicant's
scoring, HUD is not reopening either the Section 202 or Section 811
competitions and will not accept additional applications.
I. Changes to the Section 202 and Section 811 NOFAs
HUD is amending its Section 202 and Section 811 NOFAs to permit HUD
to accept Phase I ESAs that were prepared in accordance with either the
current ASTM E 1527-05 or the previous E 1527-00. This amendment
recognizes that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in its final
rule entitled, ``Standards and Practices for All Appropriate Inquires''
(70 FR 66070, November 1, 2005) provided, that until the rule's
effective date, November 1, 2006, either ASTM Standard E 1527-00 or
1527-05 could be used to comply with 40 CFR 312.23 through 312.31, its
rules implementing the ``all appropriate inquiry'' (AAI) requirements
of the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.).
As a result, HUD decided to be proactive by requiring, in its
FY2006 Section 202 and Section 811 NOFAs, that the Phase I ESA be
prepared in accordance with ASTM Standard E 1527-05 instead of ASTM
Standard E 1527-00. Unfortunately, many Section 202 and 811 applicants
and the environmental professionals employed by the applicants misread,
misinterpreted or were confused by HUD's revised Phase I requirements
and did not perform the Phase I ESAs in accordance with ASTM Standard E
1527-05. HUD has determined, therefore, that it would be in the
public's best interest to amend the FY2006 Section 202 and Section 811
NOFAs to permit HUD to accept the Phase I ESA prepared in accordance
with either ASTM Standard E 1527-00 or ASTM Standard E 1527-05.
II. Summary of Corrections

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), third column, the
requirement that the Phase I ESA be prepared in accordance with the
