SUMMARY: Through this notice, HUD announces the availability on its Web
site of its Notice of FY2010 Opportunity to Register and Other
Important Information for Electronic Application Submission for the
Sustainable Communities Planning Grant Program (Registration Notice).
The Registration Notice provides important information to assist
applicants for Sustainable Communities Planning Grants to better
understand the registration and electronic submission process for HUD
applications made available through Grants.gov. To submit an
application via Grants.gov, new users are required to complete a five-
step registration process, which can take 2 to 4 weeks to complete.
HUD's Registration Notice explains each step so that applicants can be
prepared to submit an application once HUD publishes its Sustainable
Communities Planning Grant Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The
Registration Notice also requests that potential applicants notify HUD
of their intent to submit an application no later than May 14, 2010.
HUD is requesting this information to better assess the workload
anticipated during the review process and plan accordingly. Finally,
the Registration Notice announces that HUD received over 900 comments
on its February 10, 2010, (75 FR 6689) Sustainable Communities Planning
Grant Program Advance Notice and Request for
