contents of this subpart, including specified exemptions described 

herein. The HUD Environmental Review Procedures contained in 24 CFR part

herein.

    (b) Data. Wherever data are used in this subpart for selecting 

applicants for assistance or for determining grant amounts, the source 

of such data shall be the most recent information available from the 

U.S. Bureau of the Census which is referable to the same point or period

    (iv) The application meets the specific program requirements listed 

in the Federal Register Notice published in connection with a 

competition for funding, and any other specific requirements listed 

under this subpart for each of the programs.

    (2) Timing and review. HUD is not required by the Act to review and 

approve an application for assistance or a contract proposal within any 

specified time period. However, HUD will attempt to complete its review 

of any application/proposal within 75 days.

    (3) Notification to applicant/proposer. HUD will notify the 

applicant/proposer in writing that the applicant/proposal has been 

approved, partially approved, or disapproved. If an application/proposal 

is partially approved or disapproved, the applicant/proposer will be 

informed of the basis for HUD's decision. HUD may make conditional 

approvals under Sec.  570.304(d).

    (d) Program amendments. (1) Recipients shall request prior written 

HUD approval for all program amendments involving changes in the scope 

or the location of approved activities.

    (2) Any program amendments, whether or not they require HUD 

approval, must be fully documented in the recipient's records.

    (e) Performance reports. Any performance report required of a 

discretionary assistance recipient shall be submitted in the form 

specified in this subpart, in the award document, or (if the report 

relates to a specific competition for an assistance award) in a form 

specified in a Notice published in the Federal Register.

    (f) Performance reviews and findings. HUD may review the recipient's 

performance in carrying out the activities for which assistance is 

provided in a timely manner and in accordance with its approved 

application, all applicable requirements of this part and the terms of 

the assistance agreement. Findings of performance deficiencies may be 

cause for appropriate corrective and remedial actions under Sec.  

570.910.

    (g) Funding sanctions. Following notice and opportunity for informal 

consultation, HUD may withhold, reduce or terminate the assistance where 

any corrective or remedial actions taken under Sec.  570.910 fail to 

remedy a recipient's performance deficiencies, and the deficiencies are 

sufficiently substantial, in the judgment of HUD, to warrant sanctions.

    (h) Publication of availability of funds. HUD will publish by Notice 

in the Federal Register each year the amount of funds available for the 

special purpose grants authorized by each section under this subpart.
