Community Development Act of 1974 (HCDA), and outlined in Subpart I
(for States) and Subpart J (for entitlements) of the CDBG regulation,
whether Grantees, (Entitlement communities, States and units of general

requirements governing State CDBG, CDBG-R, Disaster Recovery,
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) 1, NSP2 and NSP 3 grants prior
to closing the grant allocation. The submission of the HUD 7082--

(42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.). HUD will make the funding assistance as
