1633 Corrected revision of the substantial amendment for the Community Development Block Grant— Disaster Recover 2012 allocation
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Corrected Revision of the Substantial Amendment for the Community Development Block Grant—Disaster Recovery 2012 Allocation [44 Pa.B. 5219]
[Saturday, August 2, 2014]Due to corrections needing to be made to the revised substantial amendment of the Commonwealth's Fiscal Year 2012 Community Development Block Grant—Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Action Plan of May 24, 2014, a corrected version of the revised substantial amendment is being proposed by the Department of Community and Economic Development (Department). Notice is hereby given for a public comment period to review the corrected revised substantial amendment. The public comment period is from August 2, 2014, through August 10, 2014.
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a notice at 77 FR 22583 (April 16, 2012) which awarded $27,142,501 of CDBG-DR funds to the Commonwealth to be administered by the Department. An Action Plan for these funds was submitted to HUD on July 23, 2012, and subsequently approved. As the needs for disaster relief in the various areas of funding have changed since the submission of the original Action Plan, due to completion of the first round of applications for assistance by affected municipalities, changes needed to be made to those areas in the original Action Plan. In addition a more definitive unmet needs survey was completed and was presented in the revised substantial amendment of May 24, 2014. Upon submission of the revised substantial amendment, HUD identified some corrections needed in the area of economic development and required the document to be posted in Spanish during the comment period. For these reasons the revised substantial amendment was denied and returned to the Commonwealth for correction.
The corrected revised substantial amendment to the Action Plan and supporting documentation is available for a 7-day public comment period and can be viewed on the Department's web site under the CDBG-DR section at http://www.newpa.com/community/documents-publications/cdbg-dr. The text is available to visual-impaired persons by means of the Department's web site at the link listed previously. A translation into Spanish will also be available on the Department's web site. The final version of the Substantial Amendment will be submitted to HUD no later than August 12, 2014.
Persons who would like to provide written comment on the revised substantial amendment to the CDBG-DR Action Plan may send those comments electronically to RA-DCEDcdbg&homequestions@pa.gov or mail to the attention of Mary J. Smith, Department of Community and Economic Development, Center for Community Financing, 400 North Street, 4th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17120. Comments must be received before 9 a.m. on August 11, 2014.
