 108 STAT. 2314 PUBLIC LAW 103-327—SEPT. 28, 1994 or local governments or to housing finance agencies or other public or quasi-public housing agencies, shall be used to indemnify contractors or subcontractors of the government or agency against costs associated with judgments of infringement of intellectual property rights. Of the budgetary resources available to the Department of Housing and Urban Development during fiscal year 1995, $3,538,000 are permanently canceled. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall allocate the amount of budgetary resources canceled among the Department's accounts available for procurement and procurement-related expenses. Amounts available for procurement and procurement-related expenses in each such account shall be reduced by the amount allocated to such account. For the purpose of this paragraph, the definition of "procurement" includes all stages of the process of acquiring property or services, beginning with the process of determining a need for a product or service and ending with contract completion and closeout as specified in 41 U.S.C. 403(2). Of the $150,000,000 earmarked in Public Law 102-139 for special purpose grants (105 Stat. 736, 745), $1,000,000 made available to the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency to complete renovation and revitalization of the Saquoit Silk Mills in Scranton into low-income elderly apartments shall instead be made available for such low-income elderly apartments on the site of the existing Lackawanna Junior College in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. Notwithstanding any provision of law or regulation thereunder, the requirement that an amendment to an urban development action grant agreement must be integrally related to the approved project is hereby waived for project numbers B87AA360540 and B87AA360521. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used in violation of section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980 or of any applicable Federal law or regulation of the United States. Subparagraph (A) of the first sentence of section 203(b)(2) of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1709(b)(2)) is amended by striking clause (ii) and all that follows through "May 12, 1992;" and inserting the following: "(ii) 75 percent of the dollar amount limitation determined under section 305(a)(2) of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Act for a residence of the applicable size; except that the applicable dollar amount limitation in effect for any area under this subparagraph may not be less than the greater of the dollar amount limitation in effect under this section for the area on the date of enactment of the Housing Choice and Community Investment Act of 1994 or 38 percent of the dollar amount limitation determined under section 305(a)(2) of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Act for a residence of the applicable size;". Notwithstanding subsection 306(g)(3) of the National Housing Act, as amended, fees charged for the guaranty of, or commitment to guaranty, multiclass securities backed by a trust or pool of securities or notes guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association prior to February 1, 1993, and other related fees, shall be charged in an amount the Association deems appropriate.
