Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Fiscal Year 2010; Rural
Innovation Fund Program; Correction
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and
Development, CPD.
ACTION: Notice of technical correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On December 22, 2010, HUD posted on http://www.Grants.gov its
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for HUD's FY 2010 Rural
Innovation Fund Program, ``Rural Fund.'' Today's Federal Register
publication announces that HUD has posted on http://www.Grants.gov a
technical correction that, most significantly, corrects the application
due date and corrects the maximum funding amounts for Category 1
proposals. HUD has also corrected an incorrect reference to a
``Revolving Fund grant'' rather than a ``Rural Fund grant.'' The
revised NOFA can be found and downloaded from http://www.Grants.gov,
using the CFDA number for that program, 14.263.
DATES: The correct application deadline date is February 23, 2011.
Applications must be received by Grants.gov by 11:59:59 p.m. eastern
time on the deadline date. See the General Section for timely receipt
requirements. All information required to complete the application is
in the General Section and this NOFA. Applicants may download the
application and instructions from the Grants.gov Web site at http://www07.grants.gov/applicants/apply_for_grants.jsp. Please carefully
read the Notice of HUD's Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA) Policy Requirements and General Section to HUD's FY
2010 NOFAs for Discretionary Programs, posted on Grants.gov on June 7,
2010. Applicants need to be aware that following receipt, applications
go through a validation process in which the application may be
accepted or rejected. Please allow time for this process to ensure that
you meet the timely receipt requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NOFA for HUD's FY 2010 Rural Innovation
Fund Program, ``Rural Fund'' has been corrected as follows:
1. On pages 1 and 2, the application deadline date has been
corrected to read: ``February 23, 2011.''
2. On page 5, under the heading ``5. Consortium,'' a phrase in the
third full paragraph has been corrected to read: ``If the consortium is
awarded a Rural Fund grant, within 120 days after the grant award, the
consortium members must execute a formal funding agreement.''
3. On page 32, section d.(1) has been corrected to read as follows:
(1) Maximum amount established for Category 1 proposals is
$20,750,000. For Category 1, Single Purpose and Comprehensive, HUD will
select Single Purpose applications that score 75 points or more in rank
order until selections totaling $7,500,000 have been reached. If there
are an insufficient number of Single Purpose applications to utilize
the full $7,500,000 then the remaining amount funds will be available
for Category 1 Comprehensive grants. If all $7,500,000 is utilized for
the Single Purpose grants, then of the remaining $13,250,000 funds, HUD
will evaluate the total number of unfunded Category 1 applications that
rated above 75 points, the comparative scores of the unfunded Single
Purpose and Comprehensive applications and determine what total amounts
will be awarded to the remaining unfunded Single Purpose grants and
Comprehensive grants. If the total number of Single Purpose grant
applications that rank 75 points or more totals $7,500,000 or less, HUD
will allocate all of the remaining balance to Category 2 applications
that rank 75 points or higher. HUD, in its sole discretion, may decide
not to utilize the full amount of funds available.
