Sec. 570.423  Application for the HUD-administered New York Small Cities 
Grants.

    (a) Proposed application. The applicant shall prepare and publish a 
proposed application and comply with citizen participation requirements 
as described in Sec. 570.431. The applicant should follow the citizen 
participation requirements of 24 CFR part 91 if it submits a complete 
consolidated plan.
    (b) Final application. The applicant shall submit to HUD a final 
application containing its community development objectives and 
activities. This final application shall be submitted, in a form 
prescribed by HUD, to the appropriate HUD office. The application also 
must contain a priority nonhousing community development plan, in 
accordance with 24 CFR 91.235.
    (c) Certifications. (1) Certifications shall be submitted in a form 
prescribed by HUD. If the application contains any housing activities, 
the applicant shall certify that the proposed housing activities are 
consistent with its abbreviated consolidated plan, as described at 24 
CFR part 91.

    (2) In the absence of evidence (which may, but need not, be derived 
from performance reviews or other sources) which tends to challenge in a 
substantial manner the certifications made by the applicant, the 
certifications will be accepted by HUD. However, if HUD does have 
available such evidence, HUD may require the submission of additional 
information or assurances before determining whether an applicant's 
certifications are satisfactory.
    (d) Thresholds. The HUD Office may use any information available to 
it to make the threshold judgments required by the applicable NOFA, 
including information related to the applicant's performance with 
respect to any previous assistance under this subpart. The annual 
performance and evaluation report required under Sec. 570.507(a) is the 
primary source of this information. The HUD Office may request 
additional information in cases where it is essential to make the 
required performance judgments.
