Abstract: HUD invites applicants to apply for Rebuild By Design, a multi-stage regional design competition that seeks to promote resilience in the Sandy-affected region. HUD has issued a Request for Qualifications, which requires a 12 page response describing the applicant's experience and design ideas. The competition is being run under the authority of the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010.

Emergency Justfication: This emergency processing is requested to ensure that the Department can launch the competition quickly and so that communities can initiate their recovery activities and benefit from the competition's winning designs. HUD agrees that subsequent stages of the competition are not an emergency and will go through the 60 and 30-day comment period as necessary. HUD will include an additional section to the Stage 1 federal register notice setting out all the information required of a 60-day notice and asking for comment. If any significant comments are submitted, HUD will address those comments before moving on to Stage 2.
