Sec.  4.22  Definitions.



    Application means a written request for assistance regardless of 

whether the request is in proper form or format.

    Assistance does not include any contract (e.g., a procurement 

contract) that is subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

(48 CFR ch. 1).

    Disclose means providing information directly or indirectly to a 

person through any means of communication.

    Employee includes persons employed on a full-time, part-time, or 

temporary basis, and special government employees as defined in 18 

U.S.C. 202. The term applies whether or not the employee is denoted as 

an officer of the Department. ``Employee'' is to be construed broadly to 

include persons who are retained on a contractual or consultative basis 

under an Office of Human Resources appointment. However, ``employee'' 

does not include an independent contractor, e.g., a firm or individual 

working under the authority of a procurement contract.

    Material or materially means in some influential or substantial 

respect or having to do more with substance than with form.

    Person means an individual, corporation, company, association, 

authority, firm, partnership, society, State, local government, or any 

other organization or group of people.

    Selection process means the period with respect to a selection for 

assistance that begins when the HUD official responsible for awarding 

the assistance involved, or his or her designee, makes a written request 

(which includes the selection criteria to be used in providing the 

assistance) to the Office of General Counsel (OGC) to prepare the NOFA, 

solicitation, or request for applications for assistance for publication 

in the Federal Register. The period includes the evaluation of 

applications, and concludes with the announcement of the selection of 

recipients of assistance.
