In writing at: Oklahoma Department of Commerce Attn: Community Development: CDBG Disaster Recovery 900 N. Stiles Ave. Oklahoma City, OK 73104

The Oklahoma Department of Commerce / Community Development (ODOC/CD) received two allocations ($10.6 & $83.1 Million) of CDBG Disaster Recovery funding (CDBG-DR) for eligible 2011, 2012, 2013 disaster related events. Collectively, these two allocations total $93.7 million in disaster related funding that was provided to the State of Oklahoma from  the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). ODOC/CD is currently working toward closeout of this combined $93.7 million funding allocation with HUD. As part of this closeout effort, ODOC/CD is required to conduct a final budgetary reconciliation. It should be noted that ODOC/CD has finished with this CDBG-DR application cycle and is no longer taking applications for these two rounds of CDBG Disaster Recovery funding.

Substantial Amendments are subject to formal public hearing notification and public comment procedures as defined in Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 106 /Tuesday, June 3, 2014 / Notice 31969. It is required that at least one public hearing be held regarding any Substantial Action Plan Amendment. Citizens and other stakeholders must have reasonable and timely access to these public hearings. Citizen Participation includes a public hearing, publication of the Action Plan on the State’s CDBG-DR website and public comment.

Per the Federal Register Notice guidelines, all amendments (Non-Substantial and Substantial) to the Action Plan will be posted online at the ODOC/CD CDBG-DR webpage (https://www.okcommerce.gov/reporting-compliance/cdbg-disaster-recovery/). Public notice will also be given and published online at the ODOC/CD CDBG-DR webpage. Additionally, the CDBG-DR Action Plan will be revised to reflect the amendments (Non-Substantial and Substantial) to the Action Plan. As with the amendments, the CDBG-DR Action Plan is posted online at the ODOC/CD CDBG-DR webpage. Hard copies are available upon request. All interested parties, to include Citizens, units of local government, and community partners will be provided notice and the opportunity to comment on proposed Substantial Amendments to the Action Plan. No less than thirty (30) days are required for review and comment on the Substantial Amendment. Comments will be accepted electronically or in writing and will be posted online at the ODOC/CD CDBG-DR webpage. A summary of all comments received and responses will be included in the Substantial Amendment that is submitted to HUD for approval. Each amendment submitted to HUD for approval is numbered sequentially and is meant to supersede the earlier amendments in the published Action Plan.
