Department of Housing and Urban Development September 16, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Section 106 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (the HUD Reform Act) requires HUD to publish quarterly Federal Register notices of all regulatory waivers that HUD has approved. Each notice covers the quarterly period since the previous Federal Register notice. The purpose of this notice is to comply with the requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act. This notice contains a list of regulatory waivers granted by HUD during the period beginning on April 1, 2009 and ending on June 30, 2009.

On July 13, 2009, HUD posted its FY2009 SHOP NOFA on the Grants.gov website. The FY2009 SHOP NOFA makes $26.5 million in assistance to national and regional nonprofit organizations and consortia which facilitate and encourage innovative homeownership opportunities for low-income individuals and families. Through this document, HUD announces that it has posted a notice that corrects and clarifies a number of provisions in the FY2009 SHOP NOFA posted on July 13, 2009. Specifically, the notice: (1) Clarifies the requirement for applicants to reduce energy costs, (2) clarifies the requirement for font size; (3) clarifies the requirement that the page limit is four pages for rating factor 2, and (4) corrects a posting error that resulted in the Tables 1 and 2 being misprinted in the posted document. The notice making these corrections is available on Grants.gov Web site https:// apply07.grants.gov/apply/forms_apps_idx.html. A link to Grants.gov is also available on the HUD Web site at https://www.hud.gov/ offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm.

The proposed information collection requirement described below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Department is soliciting public comments on the subject proposal.
