NOTICES

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Substantial Amendment for the 2013 Action Plan

[44 Pa.B. 5680]
[Saturday, August 30, 2014]

 A public comment period will be held to review the proposed substantial amendment to the Commonwealth's Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2013. The public comment period is from August 30, 2014, through September 30, 2014.

 Annually the Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) prepares the Action Plan which outlines the method of distribution for Federal funding received by the Department. This Federal funding includes the HOME and Competitive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs. An Action Plan for these funds was finalized and submitted to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on January 15, 2013, and an amendment was submitted to HUD on August 14, 2013, revising the allocations for the 2013 programs. As the method of distribution for the HOME and Competitive CDBG funding has changed, due to the new HOME rule and revised priorities for the use of the competitive funds as well as maximum grant amounts, changes need to be made to those areas of the original Action Plan. These changes, based on the Pennsylvania Citizen Participation Plan for the Consolidated Plan, constitute a significant change in the distribution of funds under the program and thus necessitate a substantial amendment to the original Action Plan.

 The substantial amendment to the Action Plan and supporting documentation are available for a 30-day public comment period and can be viewed on the Department's web site at http://www.newpa.com/. The text is available to sight and hearing-impaired persons using technological assisted devices 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 for citizen comment. The final version of the substantial amendment will be submitted to HUD no later than October 6, 2014.

 Persons who would like to provide written comment on the draft substantial amendment to the 2013 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 4 p.m. on September 30, 2014.
