Thursday mix: EDA, "homesteading," etc.
Apologies for the slow posting these last couple days. Some of the items in the current mix:
- The Economic Development Administration of the Dept. of Commerce has just posted amendments to the interim final rule that it issued Aug. 11 to detail program changes imposed by the Economic Development Administration Reauthorization Act of 2004. It's also pushing the effective date of the rule forward to today, Dec. 15 -- the second postponement in a row.
- Yesterday's HAC News lays out the housing proposals before Congress as members work to wrap things up for the holiday recess. It seems an across-the-board discretionary spending cut is still possible. The newsletter also notes Tuesday's introduction of two new bills, HR 4514 and S 2088, expressing the White House proposal for "homesteading" as an approach to the Hurricane Katrina displacements. Neither one of these is posted at THOMAS yet, but it might be worth checking back later. [MORE: Here's Sec'y Jackson on that homesteading business.]
- President Bush has issued an executive order that federal agencies must designate chief FOIA officers.
- John Henneberger of the Texas Low Income Housing Information Service is quoted at length in the Austin Chronicle calling for more solid long-term hurricane relief planning.
