(k) Other matters.

Environmental Impact. A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)

with respect to the environment has been made in accordance with the

Department's regulations at 24 CFR part 50 which implement section

102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.

4332). Since the FY 1995 NOFA is substantially identical to the FY 1994

NOFA, the FY 1994 FONSI is appropriately applicable to the FY 1995

NOFA. This FONSI is available for public inspection between 7:30 a.m.

and 5:30 p.m. weekdays at the Office of the Rules Docket Clerk, Room

10276, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street,

SW., Washington, DC 20410.

Federalism Impact. The General Counsel, as the Designated Official

under section 6(a) of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined

that the policies contained in this NOFA will not have substantial

direct effects on States or their political subdivisions, or the

relationship between the Federal government and the States, or on the

distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of

government and, therefore, the provisions of this rule do not have

``federalism implications'' within the meaning of the Order. The NOFA

makes funds available to help housing authorities organize and train

tenant patrols. As such, it would help housing authorities combat

serious drug-related crime problems in their developments, thereby

strengthening their role as instrumentalities of the States.

Family Impact. The General Counsel, as the Designated Official for

Executive Order 12606, The Family, has determined that the provisions

of this NOFA have the potential for a positive, although indirect,

impact on family formation, maintenance and general well-being within

the meaning of the Order. As such, this NOFA is intended to improve the

quality of life of public and Indian housing development residents,

including families, by reducing the incidence of drug-related crime.

Section 102 HUD Reform Act--Documentation and Public Access

Requirements; Applicant/Recipient Disclosures

Documentation and public access. 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. (See 24 CFR 12.14(a) and 12.16(b), and the notice published in

the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR

[[Page 38212]]

1942), for further information on these requirements.)

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, subpart C, and the notice published in

the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942).

Section 103 HUD Reform Act

HUD's regulation implementing section 103 of the Department of

Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 was published May 13,

1991 (56 FR 22088) and became effective on June 12, 1991. That

regulation, 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 who have questions should contact the HUD Office of

Ethics (202) 708-3815. (This is not a toll-free number.) The Office of

Ethics can provide information of a general nature to HUD employees, as

well.

Section 112 HUD Reform Act

Section 13 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act

contains two provisions dealing with efforts to influence HUD's

decisions with respect to financial assistance. The first imposes

disclosure requirements on those who are typically involved in these

efforts--those who pay others to influence the award of assistance or

the taking of a management action by the Department and those who are

paid to provide the influence. The second restricts the payment of fees

to those who are paid to influence the award of HUD assistance, if the

fees are tied to the number of housing units received or are based on

the amount of assistance received, or if they are contingent upon the

receipt of assistance. Section 13 was implemented by final rule

published in the Federal Register on May 17, 1991 (56 FR 22912). If

readers are involved in any efforts to influence the Department in

these ways, they are urged to read the final rule, particularly the

examples contained in Appendix A of the rule.

Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities

The use of funds awarded under this Cooperative Agreement is

subject to the disclosure requirements and prohibitions of section 319

of the Department of Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act

for Fiscal Year 1990 (31 U.S.C. 1352) (The ``Byrd Amendment'') and the

implementing regulations at 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.
