[[Page 29853]]
(E) Eligible Units
PHAs may request funds for the demolition of units that:
(1) Are approved by HUD for demolition in accordance with 24 CFR part 970, but the approved units have not yet been demolished, including those funded for demolition by an FY 1996 or FY 1997 HOPE VI Demolition grant but require supplemental funds to cover unanticipated costs related to the activities funded under the previous grant; or
(2) Are covered by a conversion plan (i.e., a plan for removal of the obsolete and/or severely distressed development from the public housing inventory in accordance with the requirements at 24 CFR 971.7(b)) that is either approved by or submitted to HUD on or before the HOPE VI demolition application due date.
(F) Eligible Activities
Eligible activities and costs include:
(1) Demolition, including any required asbestos and/or lead-based paint abatement, of dwelling units and nondwelling facilities;
(2) Minimal site restoration after demolition and subsequent site improvements to benefit the remaining portion of the project to provide project accessibility, or to make the site more saleable;

-
Application Selection Process
(A) Threshold Criteria for Funding Consideration
(1) The applicant must be an eligible PHA;
(2) The targeted public housing development or portion thereof must have either:
(a) An approved demolition application in conformance with the requirements specified in Section I.(E) of this NOFA; or
(b) A conversion plan (i.e., a plan for removal of the obsolete and/or severely distressed development from the public housing inventory), approved by or submitted to HUD on or before the HOPE VI demolition application due date, in accordance with the requirements at 24 CFR 971.7(b));
(3) The application must include all required certifications and assurances, properly signed and executed;
(4) Except for applications submitted in accordance with Section I.E above, the applicant must not have an executed demolition contract or have demolished the targeted units.
(5) The applicant must be in compliance with all Fair Housing and civil rights laws, statutes, regulations, and executive orders as enumerated in 24 CFR 5.105(a) and Section IV (C), (D), (E), and (F) of this NOFA. Until the applicant has resolved any charge, lawsuit, or letter of finding to the satisfaction of the Department, an applicant is ineligible to apply for funding if it:
(a) Has been charged with a violation of the Fair Housing Act by the Secretary of HUD;
(b) Is the defendant in a Fair Housing Act lawsuit filedby the Department of Justice; or
(c) Has received a letter of noncompliance finding under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, or Section 109 of the Housing and Community Development Act.
(B) Application Evaluation
(1) Applications will be funded on a first-come, first-served basis within the three priority groups listed in section 2 below.
(a) Upon receipt, each application will be assigned an ordinal (i.e., ranking number), based on the date received at HUD Headquarters. All applications received on the same date will be considered received at the same time on that date and therefore will receive the same ordinal.
(b) Each application in Priority Group 1 will be screened for eligibility and completeness.
(c) Applications found to be ineligible for consideration will be rejected and the applicant will be notified in writing of the reason for rejection.
(d) If an eligible application in Priority Group 1 is found to be incomplete, HUD will contact the applicant in writing to request the missing information. In such case, the application's ordinal will be changed to the date the requested information is received by HUD. Applicants whose applications have been assigned the same ordinal will be notified of all incomplete applications with that ordinal on the same day.
(e) Based on fund availability, all eligible applications receiving the same ordinal will be funded. If there are insufficient funds to fund all applications with the same ordinal, HUD will conduct a lottery among those applications to determine funding.
(f) If funds remain after all eligible applications in Priority Group 1 have been funded, each application in Priority Group 2 will be processed in accordance with the procedures in subsections (b) through (e) above.
(g) If funds remain after all eligible applications in Priority Group 2 have been funded, each application in Priority Group 3 will be processed in
[[Page 29854]]
accordance with the procedures in subsections (b) through (e) above.
(h) If funds remain after all eligible applications in Priority Group 3 have been funded, HUD may publish a subsequent NOFA for this program to allow submission of additional applications.
(2) Priority Groups.
(a) Priority Group 1.
(i) Applications targeting sites for which HOPE VI Revitalization applications were submitted in FY 1996 but not funded, and for which demolition applications have been approved by HUD; or
(ii) Applications targeting sites for which a conversion plan (i.e., plan for removal of the obsolete and/or severely distressed development from the public housing inventory) has been approved by HUD on or before the HOPE VI demolition application due date under this NOFA, in accordance with the requirements at 24 CFR 971.7(d)); or
(iii) Applications targeting sites for which HOPE VI Demolition grants were received in the FY 1996 or FY 1997 funding round and which request supplemental funds to cover unanticipated costs related to the activities funded under the previous grants in conformance with the grant limitations provided in this NOFA.
(b) Priority Group 2. (i) Applications targeting sites for which HOPE VI Demolition applications were submitted in FY 1997 but not funded, and for which demolition applications have been approved by HUD.
(ii) Applications targeting sites for which a conversion plan (i.e., plan for removal of the obsolete and/or severely distressed development from the public housing inventory), has been submitted to HUD on or before the HOPE VI demolition application due date under this NOFA, in accordance with the requirements at 24 CFR 971.7(b)).
(c) Priority Group 3. All other applications targeting sites for which a demolition application has been approved by HUD.
(C) Applicant Notification and Award Procedures
(1) Written Notification. In accordance with the HUD Reform Act, HUD may not notify applicants as to whether or not they have been selected to participate until the announcement of the selection of all recipients under this NOFA. HUD will provide written notification to all applicants.
(2) Environmental Review. Selection for participation (preliminary approval) does not constitute approval of the proposed site(s). Each proposed site will be subject to a HUD environmental review, in accordance with 24 CFR part 50. Except to the extent that HUD approval has already been given in connection with previous HOPE VI funding for a demolition proposal, the PHA must not demolish or convert a property, or commit HUD or local funds to fund these activities, until written approval is received from the appropriate HUD Environmental Clearance Officer in its area, certifying that the proposed activities have been approved and the PHA is released from all environmental conditions. The results of the environmental review may require that proposed activities be modified or the proposed site(s) rejected.
(3) ACC Amendment. Because the HOPE VI Program does not have Federal Regulations, upon selection HUD and the recipient will execute an ACC Amendment setting forth the amount of the grant. The ACC Amendment will provide that the recipient agrees that:
(a) The demolition and relocation work shall be carried out in accordance with the funding NOFA, applicable law including all HUD regulations, the approved HOPE VI Demolition Application and Demolition Application approval, and all other applicable requirements. In addition, the PHA agrees to comply with such other terms and conditions, including recordkeeping and reports, as HUD may establish for the purposes of administering, monitoring, and evaluating the program in an effective and efficient manner.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Part A of the ACC, and to assist in the demolition and relocation, HUD agrees to disburse to the PHA from time to time as needed, up to the amount of funding assistance specified above.
(4) Failure to Proceed. In the event that an applicant selected to receive HOPE VI demolition funding does not proceed in a manner consistent with its application or as required by the ACC Amendment, HUD may withdraw any unobligated balances of funding and make this funding available, subject to applicable law, in HUD's discretion, to a subsequent applicant, in conformance with the priorities set forth in Section II.(B)(2) of this NOFA. Failure to proceed with respect to obligated funds will be governed by the terms of the ACC amendment.
(D) No funds provided under this NOFA shall be used directly or indirectly to provide competitive advantage in awards to settle litigation or pay judgments. (E) Duplicative funding is prohibited for any demolition activity previously funded by HOPE VI funds.
-

Findings and Certifications
(A) Environmental Impact. This NOFA provides funding under, and does not alter the environmental provisions of, regulations in 24 CFR part 970, which have been published previously in the Federal Register. Accordingly, under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(5), this NOFA is categorically excluded from environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321). The environmental review provisions of 24 CFR part 970 are found in Sec. 970.4.
(B) Federalism Impact. The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a) of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that this NOFA will not have substantial, direct effects on States, on their political subdivisions, or on their relationship with the Federal Government, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between them and other levels of government. Where this NOFA offers financial assistance to PHAs that are units of general local government, none of its provisions will have an effect on the relationship between the Federal Government and the States, or the States' political subdivisions.
(C) Accountability in the Provision of HUD Assistance. Section 102 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (HUD Reform Act) and the final rule codified at 24 CFR part 4, subpart A, published on April 1, 1996 (61 FR 1448), contain a number of provisions that are designed to ensure greater accountability and integrity in the provision of certain types of assistance administered by HUD. On January 14, 1992, HUD published, at 57 FR 1942, a notice that also provides information on the implementation of section 102. The documentation, public access, and disclosure requirements of section 102 are applicable to assistance awarded under this NOFA as follows:
Documentation and public access requirements. HUD will ensure that documentation and other information regarding each application submitted pursuant to this NOFA are sufficient to indicate the basis upon which assistance was provided or denied. This material, including any letters of support, will be made available for public inspection for a five-year period beginning not less than 30 days after the award of the assistance. Material will be made available in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 15. In addition, HUD will include the recipients of assistance pursuant to this NOFA in its Federal Register notice of all recipients of HUD assistance awarded on a competitive basis.
Disclosures. HUD will make available to the public for five years all applicant disclosure reports (HUD Form 2880) submitted in connection with this NOFA. Update reports (also Form 2880) will be made available along with the applicant disclosure reports, but in no case for a period less than three years. All reports--both applicant disclosures and updates--will be made available in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 15.
(D) Section 103 of the HUD Reform Act. HUD's regulation implementing section 103 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development
[[Page 29856]]
Reform Act of 1989, codified as 24 CFR part 4, applies to the funding competition announced today. The requirements of the rule continue to apply until the announcement of the selection of successful applicants. HUD employees involved in the review of applications and in the making of funding decisions are limited by part 4 from providing advance information to any person (other than an authorized employee of HUD) concerning funding decisions, or from otherwise giving any applicant an unfair competitive advantage. Persons who apply for assistance in this competition should confine their inquiries to the subject areas permitted under 24 CFR part 4.
Applicants or employees who have ethics related questions should contact the HUD Office of Ethics (202) 708-3815. (This is not a toll- free number.) For HUD employees who have specific program questions, such as whether particular subject matter can be discussed with persons outside HUD, the employee should contact the appropriate Field Office Counsel, or Headquarters counsel for the program to which the question pertains.
(E) Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities. The use of funds awarded under this NOFA is subject to the disclosure requirements and prohibitions of section 319 of the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1990 (31 U.S.C. 1352) (the Byrd Amendment) and the implementing regulations in 24 CFR part 87. These authorities prohibit recipients of Federal contracts, grants, or loans from using appropriated funds for lobbying the executive or legislative branches of the Federal Government in connection with a specific contract, grant, or loan. The prohibition also covers the awarding of contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or loans unless the recipient has made an acceptable certification regarding lobbying. Under 24 CFR part 87, applicants, recipients, and subrecipients of assistance exceeding $100,000 must certify that no Federal funds have been or will be spent on lobbying activities in connection with the assistance.
(F) Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for the HOPE VI Program is 14.866.
