SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 12, 1997, HUD published in the Federal Register the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Program for fiscal year (FY) 1997 (62 FR 26180). The May 12, 1997 NOFA provided that applicants that receive the minimum number of points (70 points) under the four selection criteria (Addressing the Program Objective; Distress, Need(s) and Impact; Capability; and Feasibility) may earn bonus points for, among other factors, affirmatively furthering fair housing. While the heading for the paragraph describing these bonus points (paragraph d. under the subheading ``Bonus Points,'' in section I.C. of the NOFA) indicates that the applicant may earn 10 bonus points for affirmatively furthering fair housing, the first sentence of that paragraph indicates that applicants may earn only 5 bonus points. HUD is publishing this notice to clarify that 10 bonus points will be awarded to eligible applicants that work with their jurisdictions to affirmatively further fair housing. Accordingly, FR Doc. 97-12452, the NOFA for the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Program, published in the Federal Register on May 12, 1997 (62 FR 26180), is amended on page 26185, column 2, in section I.C., under the subheading ``Bonus Points,'' by correcting the first sentence of paragraph d. (``Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, 10 points'') to read as follows: I. Purpose, Objectives, and Substantive Description * * * * * C. Selection Process, Optional Match and Selection Criteria * * * * * Bonus Points (maximum points: 25) * * * * * d. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, 10 points. * * * * * Ten bonus points will be awarded to applicants who work with their jurisdictions to affirmatively further fair housing. * * * * * Dated: May 12, 1997.
