New York State Neighborhood Stabilization Program 3 (NSP3) Public Comment Period Notice

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has been authorized to administer the federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program 3 (NSP3). NSP3 provides grants to States and local governments to redevelop vacant, foreclosed, and abandoned properties into affordable housing, land bank foreclosed homes, and/or demolish blighted structures. The funding is provided under Section 1497 of the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. On September 8, 2010, HUD released the NSP3 allocation amounts for States and other jurisdictions. In accordance with HUD guidelines, New York State submitted to HUD a first NSP3 Substantial Amendment on March 1, 2011, and a second NSP3 Substantial Amendment on June 30, 2011. Due to changes in the State's NSP3 Program since those submissions, a third NSP3 Substantial Amendment must be submitted to HUD at this time. The NSP3 Substantial Amendments are amendments to the jurisdictions' approved 2010 Action Plan. The allocation under NSP3 for the New York State Program is $5 million and funds will be administered by the Office of Community Renewal. In accordance with HUD guidelines, the NSP3 Substantial Amendment to the 2010 Action Plan for the New York State Program must be published for no less than 15 calendar days for public comment before it is submitted to HUD. The public comment period will begin on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 and end on Wednesday, September 12, 2012. The New York State NSP3 Substantial Amendment to the 2010 Action Plan will be available during the public comment period on the New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) website www.nyshcr.org. Copies can be requested by e-mail at [email protected] or by telephoning 1-866-275-3427.

E-mail comments must be sent by that date and e-mailed to: [email protected].

Interest Rate Per Annum

Compounded Daily

* The Tax Law requires the interest rate on sales tax assessments or late payments to be set at 14-1/2% for this quarter. However, if the Commissioner determines that the failure to pay or the delay in payment is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, the Commissioner may impose interest at the corporation tax late payment and assessment rate. That rate is 7.5% for this quarter.

** There are a number of state and local governmental bodies that have interest rates tied to the overpayment and underpayment rates contained in either section 697(j) (Income Tax) or section 1096(e) (Corporation Tax) of the Tax Law. For purposes of section 697(j) and section 1096(e) of the Tax Law, the overpayment rate for this period is 2%. For purposes of section 697(j) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for this period is 7.5%. For purposes of section 1096(e) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for this period is also 7.5%.
