NOTICES

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Substantial Amendment for the 2015 Action Plan; Changes to the Community Development Block Grant and Neighborhood Stabilization Programs' Method of Distribution and Citizen Participation Plan

[45 Pa.B. 5507]
[Saturday, September 5, 2015]

 Notice is hereby given for a public comment period to review the proposed substantial amendment to the Commonwealth's Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2015. The public comment period is from September 5, 2015, through October 5, 2015.

 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 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Neighborhood Stabilization Programs (NSP). The 2015 Action Plan for these funds was finalized and submitted to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on July 1, 2015. The Department is proposing changes to the Method of Distribution for the CDBG and NSP programs which, according to 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 Citizen Participation Plan for these Substantial Amendments is also being proposed for change to eliminate the current percentage cap (10%) allowable before triggering the need for a Substantial Amendment and leaving the amount at the $1 million threshold.

 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://community.newpa.com/. The text is available to sight and hearing-impaired persons using technological assisted devices by the Department's web site at the link previously listed. 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 7, 2015.

 Persons who would like to provide written comment on the draft Substantial Amendment to the 2015 Action Plan may send those comments electronically to RA-DCEDcdbg&homequestions@pa.gov or mail to the attention of Megan L. Snyder, 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 October 5, 2015.
