Capacity of the Applicant, a minimum
of 35 points under Rating Factor 3Capacity to Administer the Program,
and an overall score of at least 75
points. HUD will reject any application
that does not meet the minimum rating
score requirements.
(f) Ranked Order
HUD will place eligible applications
that meet the minimum rating score
requirements in ranked order. Funds
will be awarded in rank order based on
the score received on the application
submitted under this NOFA. Applicants
within the fundable range of 75 or more
points will be considered for funding in
ranked order up to the amount
requested, or a lesser amount if
sufficient funds are not available.
Meeting the minimum score of 75 points
does not guarantee a funding award will
be made. HUD also reserves the right to
adjust funding to meet urgent policy
priorities. HUD reserves the right to
issue a supplemental or independent
NOFA if necessary (e.g., to ensure that
all appropriated funds are awarded).
(g) Grant Award Adjustments
At its discretion, if HUD determines
that there are not enough funds
available to fully fund a project as
proposed by a successful applicant, then
HUD may contact the applicant to
determine whether revisions can be
made to the program budget, workplan
narrative, and Implementation Schedule
to reflect the actual award offer. If it is
not possible to agree on a revised
program budget, workplan narrative,
and Implementation Schedule, then an
award will not be made to that
applicant. In such an instance, HUD
may offer an award, in a rank order, to
another applicant. HUD may also select
additional applications for funding, in
rank order, if additional funds become
available. See also Adjustments to
Funding information in section VI.A.
below.

(h) Tiebreakers
When rating results in a tied score
and there is not enough money to fund
all tied scored applications, HUD will
use the following factors in the order
listed to resolve the tie:
1. HUD will approve applications that
can be fully funded over those that
cannot be fully funded;
2. Applicants that receive the most
points according to Subfactor 3.2,
Availability of Housing Stock;
3. Applicants that propose to leverage
other funding sources to increase its
housing stock for the use of eligible
Veterans; and

4. Applicants that score the highest
cumulative points for Rating Factor 1Capacity of the Applicant and Rating
Factor 2-Need.
(i) Additional Tribal HUD–VASH Funds
If, after publication of this NOFA,
additional funds become available
through additional appropriations or
recaptured funds, HUD reserves the
right to:
1. Award funding to additional
applicants based on their score from this
competition;
2. Use the additional funds to provide
additional funding to an applicant
awarded less than the original requested
amount of funds to make the full award;
and
3. Fund additional applicants that
were eligible to receive an award but for
which there were no funds available
from the FY 2017 appropriations; and
4. Award funding to applicants that
meet the funding errors category in
section VI.A. below.
(j) Curable Deficiencies and Pre-Award
Requirements:
• Curable Deficiencies: If there are
curable deficiencies identified in
successful applications, then
applicants must satisfactorily address
these deficiencies before HUD can
make a grant award.
• Pre-Award Requirements: Successful
applicants may have to provide
supporting documentation concerning
the management, maintenance,
operation, or financing of proposed
projects before a grant agreement can
be executed. HUD may ask for
additional information on the scope,
magnitude, timing, budget, method of
implementing the project or any
proposed leveraging resources. HUD
may also ask further information to
verify the commitment of other
resources required to complete,
operate, or maintain the proposed
project. HUD will notify applicants by
email, facsimile, or via the U.S. Postal
Service, return receipt requested.
HUD will provide official notification
to the authorized representative. Each
applicant must provide accurate email
addresses for receipt of these
notifications and must monitor their
email accounts to determine whether
a notification has been received.
Applicants will be provided no less
than 48 hours and no more than
fourteen (14) calendar days from the
date of receipt of the HUD notification
to respond to these requirements. No
extensions will be provided. If the
deadline date falls on a Saturday,
Sunday, or Federal holiday, the
response must be received by HUD on
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
16751
the next day that is not a Saturday,
Sunday, or Federal holiday. If an
applicant does not respond within the
prescribed time period or makes an
insufficient response, then ONAP will
determine that the requirement has
not been met and will withdraw the
grant offer. Applicants may not
substitute new projects for those
originally proposed in the application
and any new information will not
affect the project’s rating and ranking.
The time period for calculating the
response deadline for pre-award
requirements begins on the day after
receipt of the pre-award letter from
ONAP.
(k) Agency Errors
Judgments made within the
provisions of this NOFA and all
program statutory and regulatory
requirements are not subject to claim of
error. There is no appeal process. An
applicant may however, bring
arithmetic errors in application scoring
to the attention of HUD within 30 days
of being informed of its score.
(l) Anticipated Announcement and
Award Dates
Following the evaluation process,
HUD will notify successful applicants of
their selection for funding. HUD will
also notify other applicants, whose
applications were received by the
deadline, but have not been chosen for
awards. Notifications will be sent by
email to the person listed as the
Authorized Representative listed on the
SF–424. HUD anticipates announcing
awards under this NOFA approximately
four to six months after the application
due date.

Notice of receipt of permit
applications; request for comments.
ACTION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, have received
applications for permits to conduct
activities intended to enhance the
propagation and survival of endangered
species under the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended. We invite the
public and local, State, Tribal, and
Federal agencies to comment on these
applications. Before issuing the
requested permits, we will take into
consideration any information that we
receive during the public comment
period.
DATES: We must receive your written
comments on or before April 30, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Document availability and
comment submission: Submit a request
for a copy of the application and related
documents and submit any comments
by one of the following methods. All
requests and comments should specify
the applicant name and application
number (e.g., Dana Ross TE–08964A–2):

Manager, Restoration and Endangered
Species Classification, Ecological

SUMMARY:
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activity. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes such
activities as pursuing, harassing,
trapping, capturing, or collecting, in
addition to hunting, shooting, harming,
wounding, or killing.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered or threatened
species for scientific purposes that
promote recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
These activities often include such
prohibited actions as capture and
collection. Our regulations
implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for
these permits are found in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR
17.22 for endangered wildlife species,
50 CFR 17.32 for threatened wildlife
species, 50 CFR 17.62 for endangered
plant species, and 50 CFR 17.72 for
threatened plant species.
Permit Applications Available for
Review and Comment
Proposed activities in the following
permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild. The ESA
requires that we invite public comment
before issuing these permits.
Accordingly, we invite local, State,
Tribal, and Federal agencies and the
public to submit written data, views, or
arguments with respect to these
applications. The comments and
recommendations that will be most
useful and likely to influence agency
decisions are those supported by
quantitative information or studies.
