DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND

Background
Expansion of Global Entry Pilot
Program
The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), through the United
States Coast Guard and the
Transportation Security Administration
(TSA), issued a joint final rule (72 FR
3492; January 25, 2007) pursuant to the
Maritime Transportation Security Act
(MTSA), Public Law 107–295, 116 Stat.
2064 (November 25, 2002), and the
Security and Accountability for Every
Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Port Act), Public
Law 109–347 (October 13, 2006). This
rule requires all credentialed merchant
mariners and individuals with
unescorted access to secure areas of a
regulated facility or vessel to obtain a
TWIC. In this final rule, on page 3510,
TSA and Coast Guard stated that a
phased enrollment approach based
upon risk assessment and cost/benefit
would be used to implement the
program nationwide, and that TSA
would publish a notice in the Federal
Register indicating when enrollment at
a specific location will begin and when
it is expected to terminate.
This notice provides the start date for
TWIC initial enrollment at the Port of
American Samoa on August 20, 2008.
The Coast Guard will publish a separate
notice in the Federal Register indicating
when facilities within the Captain of the
Port Zone Guam including those in the
Port of American Samoa must comply
with the portions of the final rule
requiring TWIC to be used as an access
control measure. That notice will be
published at least 90 days before
compliance is required.
To obtain information on the preenrollment and enrollment process, and
enrollment locations, visit TSA’s TWIC
Web site at https://www.tsa.gov/twic.

SUMMARY: On July 10, 2008, HUD
published in the Federal Register the
NOFA for the Continuum of Care (CoC)
Homeless Assistance Program. Through
this NOFA, HUD is making available
approximately $1.42 billion in Fiscal
Year (FY) 2008 for the CoC program.
The purpose of the CoC program is to
reduce the incidence of homelessness in
communities by assisting homeless
individuals and families to move to self
sufficiency and permanent housing.
Today’s publication establishes the
deadline date for the submission of
applications and corrects or clarifies
portions of the CoC NOFA published on
July 10, 2008.
DATES: The application submission date
for applications is September 26, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Individuals may direct questions
regarding the CoC NOFA to the HUD
Field Office serving their area, at the
telephone numbers shown in HUD’s
Notice of Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 Notice
of Funding Availability (NOFA); Policy
Requirements and General Section to
HUD’s FY2008 NOFAs for Discretionary
Programs (General Section) published
on March 19, 2008 (73 FR 14883), or
may contact the e-snaps Help Desk at 1–
877–6esnaps (1–877–637–6277).
Individuals who are hearing- or speechimpaired should use the Information
Relay Service at 1–800–877–8339 (these
are toll-free numbers).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
30, 2008 (73 FR 23483), HUD published
its Notice of FY2008 Opportunity to
Register and Other Important
Information for Electronic Application
Submission for Continuum of Care
Homeless Assistance Programs (CoC
Early Registration Notice). The CoC
Early Registration Notice alerted the
public that HUD would require
Continuums of Care to submit
applications electronically, using esnaps, an electronic system separate
from Grants.gov. On July 10, 2008 (73
FR 39840), HUD published its CoC
NOFA, making available approximately
$1.42 billion in FY 2008 for the CoC
program. The purpose of the CoC
program is to reduce the incidence of
homelessness in communities by
assisting homeless individuals and
families to move to self sufficiency and
permanent housing. In the July 10, 2008,
CoC NOFA, HUD stated that the
application portion of the e-snaps
system had not yet been launched and
that HUD, as a result, was unable to
establish a due date for the FY2008 CoC
competition. HUD stated, however, that
it would announce the application due
date for the program through separate
Federal Register notice. Today’s
PO 00000
Frm 00080
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

publication establishes the deadline
date for the submission of applications.
Today’s publication also corrects or
clarifies the CoC NOFA published on
July 10, 2008.
Deadline for Applications
The application deadline date for the
CoC NOFA is September 26, 2008.
Electronic applications must be received
by e-snaps by 4 p.m. eastern time on the
deadline date. HUD will close e-snaps at
4:01 p.m. eastern time. Similarly, paper
applications from applicants granted a
waiver from the electronic application
submission requirement must be
received by HUD by 4 p.m. eastern
standard time on the deadline date.
Summary of Technical Corrections
Today’s publication also corrects or
clarifies a number of sections of the July
10, 2008, CoC NOFA. These corrections
and clarifications are listed below by
page and section.
On page 39840, Overview
Information, Section F., first column,
entitled ‘‘Dates,’’ HUD is revising this
section to conform to the deadline date
for applications established by today’s
publication. HUD had hoped to
establish a deadline date at least 60 days
from the publication date of today’s
publication. While the deadline date
established by today’s publication falls
short of meeting this goal, HUD has
attempted to provide potential CoC
applicants 60 days notice of the
deadline date by posting the deadline
date for applications at https://
www.hud.gov/esnaps.
On page 39845, Section III.A.1., HUD
is correcting the eligibility chart, fourth
column under ‘‘Section 8 SRO’’ to note
that homeless individuals eligible for
SRO need not be disabled.
On page 39851, Section V.1.e., third
column, entitled ‘‘Emphasis on Housing
Activities,’’ HUD is correcting this
paragraph to note that HUD will award
points based on the relationship
between funds requested for housing
activities and funds requested for
supportive services activities among
both new and renewal projects.
On page 39854, Section VI.B.1.a.,
second column, HUD inadvertently
indicated that it will use five
measurable indicators related to the
Continuum of Care homeless assistance
programs based on the Government
Performance and Results Act. In fact,
HUD will use four indicators.
Accordingly, the Notice of HUD’s
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)
for the Continuum of Care Homeless
Assistance Program, published on July
10, 2008, beginning at 73 FR 39840, is
corrected as follows:
