I. Purpose and Substantive Description

(a) Purpose. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

is seeking proposals for one or more grant(s) to provide state-of-the-

art technical assistance (TA) and training to public and Indian housing

authorities (HAs) for crime prevention through environmental design

(CPTED). For the purposes of this announcement, CPTED is defined as the

redesign, renovation, or rehabilitation of existing environmental

elements to improve the safety of residents and to eliminate conditions

which may contribute to instances of crime. The purpose of this grant

is to build upon the Department's past successful TA and training and

continue to develop and provide state-of-the-art CPTED training and

technical assistance to housing authority staff, residents, Resident

Councils (RC), Resident Management Corporations (RMC), and where

appropriate, architects, engineers, local law enforcement officials,

local government officials, and other community leaders.

(b) Authority. These grants are authorized under Chapter 2,

Subtitle C, Title V of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (42 U.S.C. 11901

et seq.), as amended by section 581 of the National Affordable Housing

Act of 1990 (NAHA), approved November 28, 1990, Pub. L. 101-625, and

Section 161 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (HCDA

1992) (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 28, 1992).

available for review at HUD's Community Relations and Involvement

Clearinghouse, telephone 1-800-578-3472.

(2) Provide the TA and training in a comprehensive context that

acknowledges the role of other safety elements in public and Indian

housing, including police and security services, lease enforcement,

etc.

(3) Provide training and TA using state-of-the-art techniques which

are easily transferable and replicable to assist housing authority

staff and residents in understanding and implementing the contributing

factors of CPTED and to develop and implement CPTED elements and plans

for their developments. The media could include, but is not limited to,

on-site visits, printed materials, ``fact sheets'', ``how-to''

technical material, training material and training meetings, videos, or

other instruments.

(4) Design and develop a series of TA instruments based on the

needs of housing authority staff and residents, and other staff who

work on CPTED design and implementation in public and Indian housing.

In determining the needs of staff and residents, grantees should take

into account possible ethnic/racial sensitivities and the needs of

persons with disabilities.

(5) Design and develop an impact/process evaluation methodology for

HA staff and residents to use in measuring

[[Page 38215]]

their progress after implementing CPTED elements.

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 notice 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 notice do not have

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

only makes available technical assistance for housing authorities to

address the problem of drug-related crime.

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

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

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

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

the meaning of the Order. This notice is intended to provide funding

for technical assistance that will 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 38218]]

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 grant 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.
