Reform Act. This notice contains a list 

of regulatory waivers granted by HUD 

during the period beginning on January 

1, 2004, and ending on March 31, 2004.

this document, contact the person 

whose name and address follow the 

description of the waiver granted in the 

accompanying list of waivers that have 

been granted in the first quarter of 

calendar year 2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

106 of the HUD Reform Act added a 

new section 7(q) to the Department of 

Housing and Urban Development Act 

(42 U.S.C. 3535(q)), which provides 

that: 

1. Any waiver of a regulation must be 

in writing and must specify the grounds 

for approving the waiver; 

2. Authority to approve a waiver of a 

regulation may be delegated by the 

Secretary only to an individual of 

Assistant Secretary or equivalent rank, 

and the person to whom authority to 

waive is delegated must also have 

authority to issue the particular 

regulation to be waived; 

3. Not less than quarterly, the 

Secretary must notify the public of all 

waivers of regulations that HUD has 

approved, by publishing a notice in the 

Federal Register. These notices (each 

covering the period since the most 

recent previous notification) shall: 

a. Identify the project, activity, or 

undertaking involved; 

b. Describe the nature of the provision 

waived and the designation of the 

provision; 

c. Indicate the name and title of the 

person who granted the waiver request; 

d. Describe briefly the grounds for 

approval of the request; and 

e. State how additional information 

about a particular waiver may be 

obtained. 

Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act 

also contains requirements applicable to 

waivers of HUD handbook provisions 

that are not relevant to the purpose of 

this notice. 

This notice follows procedures 

provided in HUD’s Statement of Policy 

on Waiver of Regulations and Directives 

issued on April 22, 1991 (56 FR 16337). 

This notice covers waivers of 

regulations granted by HUD from 

January 1, 2004, through March 31, 

2004. For ease of reference, the waivers 

granted by HUD are listed by HUD 

program office (for example, the Office 

of Community Planning and 

Development, the Office of Housing, the 

Office of Public and Indian Housing, 

etc.). Within each program office 

grouping, the waivers are listed 

sequentially by the regulatory section of 

title 24 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) that is being waived. 

For example, a waiver of a provision in 

24 CFR part 58 would be listed before 

a waiver of a provision in 24 CFR part 

570. 

Where more than one regulatory 

provision is involved in the grant of a 

particular waiver request, the action is 

listed under the section number of the 

first regulatory requirement that appears 

in 24 CFR and that is being waived. For 

example, a waiver of both § 58.73 and 

§ 58.74 would appear sequentially in the 

listing under § 58.73. 

Waiver of regulations that involve the 

same initial regulatory citation are in 

time sequence beginning with the 

earliest-dated regulatory waiver. 

Should HUD receive additional 

information about waivers granted 

during the period covered by this report 

before the next report is published, the 

next updated report will include these 

earlier waivers that were granted, as 

well as those that occurred during 

January 1, 2004, through March 31, 

2004. 

Accordingly, information about 

approved waiver requests pertaining to 

HUD regulations is provided in the 

Appendix that follows this notice.

Dated: October 20, 2004. 

Kathleen D. Koch, 

Acting General Counsel.

provisions in the Consolidated Plan and the 

HOME program regulations that relate to the 

citizen participation requirements, per unit 

subsidy limits property standards tenant 

protections match and tenant participation.

based rental assistance funds and other 

disaster assistance. 

Granted by: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant 

Secretary for Community Planning and 

Development.

Nature of Requirement: Section 401.600 

requires that projects be marked down to 

market rents within 12 months of their first 

expiration date after January 1, 1998. The 

intent of this provision is to ensure timely 

processing of requests for restructuring, and 

that the properties will not default on their 

FHA-insured mortgages during the 

restructuring process. 

Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: January 30, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The projects listed above 

were not assigned to the participating 

administrative entities (PAEs) in a timely 

manner and therefore the restructuring 

analysis was unavoidably delayed due to no 

fault of the owner.

Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: March 9, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The proposed Section 202 

project is an extension of the sponsor’s

two projects will promote savings, since the 

residents can utilize the existing community 

room and reduced operating expenses.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c). 

Project/Activity: Wingo Elderly Housing, 

Wingo, KY, Project Number: 082–EE066. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 

relates to admission of families to projects for 

elderly or handicapped families that received 

reservations under Section 202 of the 

Housing Act of 1959 and housing assistance 

under Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 

1937. Section 891.410(c) limits occupancy to 

very low-income elderly persons. To qualify, 

households must include a minimum of one 

person who is at least 62 years of age at the 

time of initial occupancy. 

Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: January 16, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The property owners have 

made every effort to market the project 

within the City of Wingo, and the 

63002 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 208 / Thursday, October 28, 2004 / Notices

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c). 

Project/Activity: Highview Unity 

Apartments, Charleston, WV, Project 

Number: 045–EE010. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 

relates to admission of families to projects for 

elderly or handicapped families that received 

reservations under Section 202 of the 

Housing Act of 1959 and housing assistance 

under Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 

1937. Section 891.410(c) limits occupancy to 

very low-income elderly persons. To qualify, 

households must include a minimum of one 

person who is at least 62 years of age at the 

time of initial occupancy.

Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: February 5, 2004. 

Reason Waived: Despite aggressive 

marketing efforts to try to attract residents 62 

years of age or older, the property has been 

able to get only 11 of 19 units occupied. This 

occupancy level is not able to sustain the 

property, and early mortgage default is 

certain.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c). 

Project/Activity: Echo Valley Village, 

Pittsburgh, NH, Project Number: 024–EE040. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 

relates to admission of families to projects for 

elderly or handicapped families that received 

reservations under Section 202 of the 

Housing Act of 1959 and housing assistance 

under Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of

very low-income elderly persons. To qualify, 

households must include a minimum of one 

person who is at least 62 years of age at the 

time of initial occupancy. 

Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: March 2, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The current occupancy 

level will not support the complex and early 

mortgage default is certain. Providing for a 

waiver of age and very-low income 

requirements will allow the owner additional 

flexibility in attempting to rent vacant units. 

Contact: Beverly J. Miller, Director, Office

Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 

relates to admission of families to projects for 

elderly or handicapped families that received 

reservations under Section 202 of the 

Housing Act of 1959 and housing assistance 

under Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of

time of initial occupancy. 

Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: March 17, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The current occupancy 

level will not support operations of the 

project. Providing flexibility of the very low 

income requirement will allow the owner to 

rent vacant units, and possibly start a waiting 

list.

• Regulation: FY2003 SuperNOFA, 

Housing Counseling Program, 68 FR 21241 

(NOFA). 

Project/Activity: Credit Counseling Centers, 

Inc. of South Portland, Maine (CCCI), a HUDapproved local housing counseling agency 

(LHCA), applied for a comprehensive 

housing counseling grant under the FY2003 

SuperNOFA competition, and was 

conditionally awarded a grant of $38,836. In 

October 2003, CCCI merged into Money 

Management International, Inc. (MMI), a 

nationwide, nonprofit credit counseling 

corporation headquartered in Houston, 

Texas. MMI will maintain a branch office in 

Portland, doing business in Maine under the 

name ‘‘Consumer Credit Counseling Services 

of Maine, Inc. (CCCS).’’ CCCI dissolved its 

board of directors and all assets have been 

transferred to MMI. 

Nature of Requirement: Because CCCI no 

longer exists, the grant intended for this 

organization must be made in the name of 

MMI, whereby funds will be reserved for 

MMI. This change, however, requires the 

waiver of two NOFA requirements. MMI 

would not have been eligible to apply for this 

grant under the terms of the NOFA because 

it does not meet the definition of an LHCA. 

Further, MMI expects to receive a subgrant 

from the National Foundation for Credit 

Counseling (NFCC), a HUD-approved 

Intermediary Housing Counseling 

Organization. The NOFA prohibits LHCAs 

from receiving both a grant directly from 

HUD and a subgrant from a HUD-funded 

intermediary organization. 

Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: March 10, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The waiver is necessary to 

allow MMI, doing business as CCCS, to 

receive the grant conditionally awarded to 

CCI. Granting the requested waiver would 

prevent a disruption of housing counseling 

services to low- and moderate-income 

residents formerly served by CCCI.

III. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the 

Office of Public and Indian Housing 

For further information about the following 

regulatory waivers, please see the name of 

the contact person that immediately follows 

the description of the waiver granted. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 882.514(c). 

Project/Activity: Salt Lake City Housing 

Authority (SCHA), Salt Lake City, UT. The 

SCHA requested a waiver of § 882.514(c) in 

order to allow Mod Rehab owners who are 

parties to housing assistance payments 

contracts with the SLCHA to advertise or 

solicit applications from low-income families 

after owners notify the SLCHA of vacancies.

Nature of Requirement: Section 882.514(c) 

allows owners of Mod Rehab projects to 

advertise or solicit applications from lowincome families when a public housing 

agency (PHA) is unable to refer a sufficient 

number of families to the owner within 30 

days of notification by the owner to the PHA 

of a vacancy. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: March 26, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The waiver to allow Mod 

Rehab owners to advertise and solicit 

applications upon notification by the owner 

of a vacancy without regard to the 30-day 

period was granted based on the high 

vacancy rate (over seven percent) in Mod 

Rehab properties and the SCHA’s inability to 

maintain and refer a sufficient pool of 

interested applicants.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.33(c). 

Project/Activity: Fairfield Housing 

Authority (AL010), Fairfield, AL. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. Unaudited financial statements are 

required to be submitted two months after 

the public housing agency (PHA) fiscal year 

end and audited financial statements are 

required no later than nine months after the 

PHA’s fiscal year end in accordance with the 

Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A–133. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: January 30, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The housing authority 

requested an extension of the due date for the 

purpose of resolving a prior Office of the 

Inspector General (OIG) audit finding before 

the independent public accountant (IPA) 

issues the audit report. The housing authority 

provided the OIG information with respect to 

the audit finding, and it will be forwarding 

the audited submission as soon as it receives 

a written response from the OIG clearing the 

finding.

Project/Activity: Waterloo Housing 

Authority (IA050), Waterloo, IA. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. Unaudited financial statements are 

required to be submitted two months after 

the public housing agency (PHA) fiscal year 

end and audited financial statements are 

required no later than nine months after the 

PHA’s fiscal year end in accordance with the 

Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A–133. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: March 26, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The housing authority 

requested an extension of the time to submit 

the audited financial submission. The 

housing authority, a component unit of the 

City of Waterloo, could not submit its 

audited financial because it is dependent on 

the city’s completion of their annual audit. 

This issue has hindered the housing 

authority’s ability to submit its audit report 

to the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) 

in a timely manner.

Project/Activity: Durham Housing 

Authority (NC013), Durham, NC. 

Nature of Requirement: Fairfield Housing 

Authority (AL010), Fairfield, AL. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. Unaudited financial statements are 

required to be submitted two months after 

the public housing agency (PHA) fiscal year 

end and audited financial statements are 

required no later than nine months after the 

PHA’s fiscal year end in accordance with the 

Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A–133. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: January 12, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The housing authority 

alleges an extension of the due date is needed 

because of an ongoing investigation by HUD’s 

Office of Inspector General. The scope of the 

investigation has increased into other areas, 

which prompted the IPA to move the audit 

commencement date from November 17, 

2003, to January 6, 2004.

Project/Activity: Eunice Housing Authority 

(NM027), Eunice, NM. 

Nature of Requirement: Fairfield Housing 

Authority (AL010), Fairfield, AL. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. Unaudited financial statements are 

required to be submitted two months after 

the public housing agency (PHA) fiscal year 

end and audited financial statements are 

required no later than nine months after the

Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A–133. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: March 12, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The housing authority 

advised that it would be unable to comply 

with the March 31, 2004, audited financial 

submission due date. The housing authority, 

a component unit of the City of Eunice, 

cannot submit its audited financial 

submission because it is dependent on the 

city’s completion of their annual audit. This 

issue hindered the housing authority’s ability 

to submit its audit report to the REAC in a 

timely manner.

Authority (AL010), Fairfield, AL. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: March 26, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The housing authority 

requested an extension of time to submit the 

audited financial submission. The housing 

authority, a component unit of the 

Municipality of Santa Clara, could not 

submit its audited financial submission 

because it is dependent on the municipality 

for completion of their annual audit. This 

issue hindered the housing authority’s ability

Project/Activity: Parma Housing Authority 

(OH073), Parma, OH. 

Nature of Requirement: Fairfield Housing 

Authority (AL010), Fairfield, AL. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. Unaudited financial statements are 

required to be submitted two months after 

the public housing agency (PHA) fiscal year 

end and audited financial statements are 

required no later than nine months after the

Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A–133. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: February 20, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The housing authority is a 

component unit of the City of Parma, and the 

auditor for the State of Ohio has yet to release 

the city’s audit. In addition, both the housing 

authority and the city have experienced key 

personnel changes.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.33(c). 

Project/Activity: Franklin County Housing 

Authority (PA034), Chambersburg, PA. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. Unaudited financial statements are 

required to be submitted two months after 

the public housing agency (PHA) fiscal year 

end and audited financial statements are 

required no later than nine months after the 

PHA’s fiscal year end in accordance with the 

Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A–133. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: February 9, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The housing authority 

advised that the auditor submitted Financial 

Assessment SubSystem (FASS) information 

in a timely manner, and it believed that the 

audited financial report had been 

successfully transmitted to the REAC as of 

December 19, 2003. However, the housing 

authority later learned that it received a late 

presumptive failure for not completing the 

last step in the submission process, which 

resulted in non-submission of the FASS data.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.33(c). 

Project/Activity: Paducah Housing 

Authority (TX084), Paducah, TX. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. Unaudited financial statements are 

required to be submitted two months after 

the public housing agency (PHA) fiscal year 

end and audited financial statements are 

required no later than nine months after the 

PHA’s fiscal year end in accordance with the 

Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A–133.

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: February 24, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The housing authority 

advised that it did not include in its 

unaudited financial submission, two Rural 

Rental Housing programs managed by the 

housing authority, an error discovered during 

the annual audit. Consequently, the FASS 

invalidated the unaudited financial 

submission permitting the housing authority 

to submit a corrected submission to include 

these two programs. Knowing that it would 

not be able to meet the deadline date for the 

audited submission, the housing authority 

submitted a waiver request of the audited 

submission due date. The corrected 

unaudited submission was approved on 

63004 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 208 / Thursday, October 28, 2004 / Notices 

January 10, 2004, and the system 

automatically generated a late presumptive 

failure for the audited submission.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.33(c). 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the 

City of Diboll (TX229), Diboll, TX. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. Unaudited financial statements are 

required to be submitted two months after 

the public housing agency (PHA) fiscal year 

end and audited financial statements are 

required no later than nine months after the

Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A–133. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: January 30, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The housing authority 

requested an extension of the due date for the 

purpose of resolving a prior OIG audit 

finding before the IPA issues the audit report. 

The housing authority provided the OIG 

information with respect to the audit finding 

and has a meeting scheduled with the OIG 

on January 22, 2004. The housing authority 

will be forwarding the audited submission as 

soon as the OIG clears the finding.

Project/Activity: Staunton Redevelopment 

& Housing Authority (VA023) Staunton, VA. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. Unaudited financial statements are 

required to be submitted two months after 

the public housing agency (PHA) fiscal year 

end and audited financial statements are 

required no later than nine months after the

Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A–133. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: March 1, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The housing authority 

advised that it was not able to meet the due 

date because the auditor did not notify the 

housing authority that the audit was ready 

for submission to FASS. The auditor 

commenced the audit on July 8, 2003. 

However, because the housing authority 

encountered difficulties imposed by the 

auditor during the audit, the audit was not 

completed until December 22, 2003. The 

final step to a three-step submission process 

was not performed and resulted in the 

housing authority receiving a late 

presumptive failure.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 941.606 (n)(1)(ii)(B). 

Project/Activity: Victoria Courts, Phase I 

(Refugio Street Apartments, on site), San 

Antonio, TX. 

Nature of Requirement: This section 

requires that if the partner and/or owner 

entity (or any other entity with an identity of 

interest with such parties) wants to serve as 

a general contractor for the project or 

development. The entity may award itself the 

construction contract only if it can 

demonstrate to HUD’s satisfaction that its bid 

is the lowest submitted in response to a 

public request for bids. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: February 4, 2004.

Reason Waived: The waiver was approved 

in order for Carleton Construction Company 

to complete Phase I of the Victoria Courts 

project. The San Antonio Housing Authority 

(SAHA) submitted an independent thirdparty cost estimate from FAS Construction 

Management, Inc. on December 5, 2003. 

Based on its review, FAS found the costs 

submitted by Carleton Construction 

Company to be reasonable and competitive 

for the San Antonio area for the type of 

construction proposed. The guaranteed 

maximum price bid offered by Carleton 

Construction Company is approximately four 

percent less than the cost estimate prepared 

by FAS. This satisfies HUD condition that the 

construction contract is less than or equal to 

the independent cost estimate.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.401(f)(2)(i). 

Project/Activity: Bristol Housing Authority, 

Bristol, CT. The Bristol Housing Authority 

(BHA) requested a waiver of the acceptability 

criteria addressing illumination and 

electricity found at 24 CFR 982.401(f)(2)(i) 

under HUD’s Housing Quality Standards as 

a reasonable accommodation for a housing 

choice voucher participant with disabilities. 

BHA issued a voucher to a mentally 

challenged amputee, who found an 

accessible one-bedroom unit in a building 

with a wheelchair ramp and other amenities 

that accommodated his needs. However, the 

voucher holder moved into the unit prior to 

BHA conducting an inspection for housing 

quality compliance. BHA subsequently 

inspected the unit and determined that 

although the unit’s bedroom and bathroom 

each contained a large window, the living 

room did not contain a window, which 

violated the HQS acceptability criteria that 

state that there must be at least one window 

in the living room and in each sleeping room. 

BHA determined that the large windows in 

the bedroom and the bathroom provided 

sufficient natural illumination for the entire 

unit. Furthermore, the landlord was unable 

to install a window in the living room area 

because the wall adjoins another unit. 

Additionally, BHA stated that it would be 

extremely difficult for Mr. Blais to find other 

housing in the area that meets his needs. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

982.401(f)(2)(i) states that there must be at 

least one window in the living room and in 

each sleeping room of a dwelling unit. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: January 2, 2004. 

Reason Waived: Approval of the waiver 

was granted due to the fact that the unit was 

determined to have sufficient illumination 

from its large bedroom and bathroom 

windows, had amenities that accommodated 

the voucher participant’s disabilities, and 

other suitable housing was unavailable in the 

vicinity.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(d). 

Project/Activity: Mental Health Resources 

of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mental Health 

Resources requested a special exception 

payment standard that exceeds 120 percent 

of the fair market rent as a reasonable 

accommodation for a disabled housing 

choice voucher program participant. This 

participant is developmentally disabled and 

had difficulty in finding available, affordable 

housing in the Minneapolis suburb of Maple 

Grove, where his three part-time jobs are 

located. Because of limited bus service in the 

area, commuting to his jobs from another 

location was not an option. After a lengthy 

search, this individual located a twobedroom unit in Maple Grove near the house 

of his parents, who assist their son with some 

of his daily care needs. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 982.505(d) 

allows a PHA to approve a higher payment 

standard within the basic range for a family 

that includes a person with a disability as a 

reasonable accommodation in accordance 

with 24 CFR part 8. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing 

Date Granted: January 27, 2004. 

Reason Waived: Approval of the waiver 

was granted to allow a disabled housing 

choice voucher participant to rent a twobedroom unit that is near the home of his 

parents, who provide some of his daily care 

needs, and is in close proximity to his parttime jobs.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.628(a)(2). 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the 

County of Clallam, Port Angeles, 

Washington. The Housing Authority of the 

County of Clallam requested a waiver in 

order to allow families participating in the 

homeownership option of the housing choice 

voucher program to purchase units in a new 

construction development in Port Angeles, 

Washington. 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 208 / Thursday, October 28, 2004 / Notices 63005

Nature of Requirement: Section 

982.628(a)(2) requires that a unit eligible for 

purchase with homeownership voucher 

assistance must be either existing or under 

construction at the time the family enters 

into the contract of sale. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: February 13, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The homeownership 

voucher regulations do not provide for the 

eligibility of units not yet under construction 

as a result of environmental review concerns. 

The project in question was developed under 

the United States Department of Agriculture’s 

(USDA) Rural Housing Service Self-Help 

program. Under the Self-Help program, the 

family is required to work on the actual 

construction of its unit. The family must 

enter into a contract of sale prior to 

commencement of construction in order to 

secure a construction loan. The cost of 

housing in Clallam County had increased as 

much as 20 percent in the last six to nine 

months, and participation in the USDA 

sweat-equity program was the only hope that 

most of the voucher program participants had 

of becoming homeowners. In order to address 

the environmental concerns, the HUD 

Washington State Office completed an 

environmental review under the provisions 

of 24 CFR part 50 for the project. The HUD 

Washington State Office determined the 

project would have no significant impact on 

the environment and provided a 

recommendation for approval.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 983.3(a)(2). 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of 

Alameda County (HAAC), Hayward, CA. The 

HAAC requested a waiver of requirements 

regarding the availability of vouchers for 

project-based assistance so that it could enter 

into an agreement to enter into a housing 

assistance payments contract (AHAP) for 18 

units at the Housing Alliance Project. In 

January 2004, the HAAC was 100 percent 

leased. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 983.3(a)(2) 

requires that the number of units to be 

project-based must not be under a tenantbased or project-based housing assistance 

payments (HAP) contract or otherwise 

committed, e.g., vouchers issued to families 

searching for housing or units under an 

AHAP. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: March 8, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The requirement to have 

vouchers available at the time of execution of 

an AHAP was waived since the HAAC 

reported that it had a turnover rate of no less 

than ten vouchers per month. The HAAC’s 

attrition plan indicated that it intended to 

stop issuing turnover vouchers in the three 

months immediately preceding the date 

anticipated for HAP execution in April 2005 

to ensure that vouchers would be available 

for the Housing Alliance Project and that 

over leasing would not occur.

requested a waiver of requirements regarding 

the availability of vouchers for project-based 

assistance so that it could enter into an 

agreement to enter into a housing assistance 

payments contract (AHAP) for four projectbased voucher units at Willow Run II Town 

Houses. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 983.3(a)(2) 

requires that the number of units to be 

project-based must not be under a tenantbased or project-based housing assistance

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing 

Date Granted: March 18, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The requirement to have 

vouchers available at the time of execution of 

an AHAP was waived since the OHA 

reported that it had a turnover rate of 

approximately two to four vouchers per 

month. The OHA’s attrition plan indicated 

that the number of vouchers leased would 

drop to 104 (out of a baseline of 113) in 

October 2004 when Willow Run II Town 

Houses would be completed and a housing 

assistance payments contract executed.

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant

Date Granted: March 26, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The requirement to have 

vouchers available at the time of execution of 

an AHAP was waived since the HAAC 

reported that it had a turnover rate of no less 

than 10 vouchers per month. There were 12 

units that will have PBA attached at the 

Bridgeway East Development. To ensure that 

40 vouchers will be available for this project,

waiver of requirements regarding the 

availability of vouchers for project-based 

assistance so that it could enter into an 

agreement to enter into a housing assistance 

payments contract (AHAP) for project-based 

voucher units at the Imani House, Egleston

project-based must not be under a tenantbased or project based housing assistance 

payments (HAP) contract or otherwise 

committed, e.g., vouchers issued to families 

searching for housing or units under an 

AHAP. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: March 29, 2004. 

Reason Waived: The requirement to have 

vouchers available at the time of execution of 

an AHAP was waived since the BHA has 

developed a comprehensive attrition plan to 

bring its program-leasing rate back in line 

with its baseline units. This plan includes 

the addition of 555 new units to the BHA’s 

baseline unit allocation obtained as a result 

of public housing demolition, HOPE VI 

activities and a voluntary compliance 

agreement entered into between the BHA and 

HUD. The BHA’s 2005 fiscal year began on 

April 1, 2004, and through the combination 

of attrition, acquisition of new units and the 

BHA’s contribution of financial resources, 

the BHA anticipates that its leasing rate will 

be in line with its total number of allocated 

baseline units by the end of its 2005 fiscal 

year.

Revisions to PHA Project-Based Assistance 

(PBA) Program; Initial Guidance. 

Project/Activity: Minneapolis Public 

Housing Agency (MPHA), Minneapolis, MN. 

The MPHA requested an exception to the 

initial guidance since the St. Barnabas project 

is located in census tract 1054 that has a 

poverty rate of 40.1 percent. 

Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart 

E of the initial guidance requires that in order 

to meet the Department’s goal of 

deconcentration and expanding housing and 

economic opportunities, the projects must be 

in census tracts with poverty rates of less 

than 20 percent. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: January 2, 2004. 

Reason Waived: Approval of the exception 

for deconcentration was granted since the 

project is located two blocks north of the 

Minneapolis Empowerment Zone. The 

purpose of an Empowerment Zone is to open 

new businesses, and create jobs, housing, and 

new educational and healthcare 

opportunities for thousands of Americans 

and since the project is immediately outside 

the Empowerment Zone the project should 

also derive benefits from the Empowerment 

Zone. The goals of an Empowerment Zone

in census tracts with poverty rates of less 

than 20 percent. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing 

Date Granted: January 27, 2004. 

Reason Waived: Approval of the exception 

for deconcentration was granted since the 

project is located at 225 Joseph Avenue, 

which is in the City of Rochester’s Renewal 

Community. The purpose of establishing 

renewal communities is to open new 

businesses, and create jobs, housing, and new 

educational and healthcare opportunities for 

thousands of Americans. These goals are 

consistent with the goal of deconcentrating 

poverty and expanding housing and 

economic opportunities.

in census tracts with poverty rates of less 

than 20 percent. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: January 27, 2004. 

Reason Waived: Approval of the exception 

for deconcentration was granted since 

Wentworth Commons is located near the 

Michigan Avenue business corridor that has 

been slated for redevelopment and the vacant 

land adjacent to the project will be developed 

by the Roseland Community Hospital. The 

hospital intends to invest $5.3 million to 

expand its emergency room facility with the 

potential to create 25 limited construction 

jobs, 75 new full-time jobs and the retention 

of 550 existing jobs. A Roseland Professional 

Center for doctors’ offices, retail shops, a 

restaurant and other professional offices is 

also planned for the vacant land adjacent to 

the project and will create 75 new and 25 

temporary construction jobs. The economic 

development activities and significant job 

creation are consistent with the goals of 

deconcentrating poverty and expanding 

housing and economic opportunities.

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: January 31, 2004. 

Reason Waived: Approval of the exception 

for deconcentration was granted for 53 

scattered site units. The exception was 

granted since the census tracts within which 

the units are located have undergone or will 

undergo major revitalization as a result of 

two HOPE VI grants awarded to HANO. Nonfederal funds have been invested in the areas 

including the development of a Wal-Mart 

superstore that will create over 500 jobs. 

Many of the units are located in census tracts 

where the density of public housing units has 

been significantly reduced as a result of the

entire project consisting of three buildings is 

located within one block of the HUDdesignated St. Paul Enterprise Zone and 

should derive its benefits. The purpose of 

establishing enterprise zones is to open new 

businesses, and create jobs, housing, and new 

educational and healthcare opportunities for 

thousands of Americans. In addition, from 

1989 to 1999 poverty measured by household 

decreased from 18.1 percent to 13.1 percent 

in census tract 309; the percentage of 

households having wage or salary income 

increased from 74.4 percent to 87.1 percent; 

and median household income increased by 

72 percent. The goals of an enterprise zone 

are consistent with the goal of 

deconcentrating poverty and expanding 

housing and economic opportunities, and the 

change in the economic indicators in the 

census tract over a ten-year period 

demonstrates improvement.

Revisions to PHA Project-Based Assistance 

(PBA) Program; Initial Guidance. 

Project/Activity: Minneapolis Public 

Housing Agency (MPHA), Minneapolis, MN. 

The MPHA requested an exception to the 

initial guidance to permit it to attach PBA to 

the Archdale and St. Barnabas projects. 

Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart 

F requires that no more than 25 percent of 

the dwelling units in any building may be 

assisted under a housing assistance payments 

(HAP) contract for PBA except for dwelling 

units that are specifically made available for

Date Granted: February 17, 2004. 

Reason Waived: Approval to waive the 25 

percent cap on the number of units in a 

building that can have PBA attached was 

granted for the Archdale and St. Barnabas 

since Central Community Housing Trust will 

provide supportive services for families 

living there through a living skills program. 

Each client will be assigned an independent 

living skills counselor who will develop an 

individualized service plan. The program 

will focus on maintaining employment, 

developing budgeting skills, achieving 

educational goals,and developing selfdiscipline with regard to maintaining an 

apartment, nutritional habits, and physical 

and emotional health. There will be an onsite independent living skills program at St. 

Barnabas. This program will assist residents 

in meeting productivity goals of either school 

or work, in learning skills to maintain 

housing, and in addressing any personal or 

family issues that might impact selfsufficiency. The services at both projects are 

consistent with the statute.

percent. 

Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart 

E of the initial guidance requires that in order

project is located in the Bronx Overall 

Economic Development Corporation service 

area that operates the Bronx Empowerment 

Zone. It is also in a New York city-designated 

HUD Community Development Block Grant

of the neighborhood retail areas and preserve 

the area. With the construction cost of almost 

$11 million, the housing and community 

center will create approximately 75 jobs 

including at least six permanent positions at

Project/Activity: Boston Housing Authority 

(BHA), Boston, MA. The BHA requested an 

exception to the initial guidance for the 

Columbia West project that is located in a 

census tract with a poverty rate greater than 

20 percent. Additionally, the BHA requested 

63010 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 208 / Thursday, October 28, 2004 / Notices 

a waiver of the selection preference 

regulation to select persons with persistent 

mental disabilities to receive project-based 

voucher assistance at the Columbia West 

project. 

Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart 

E of the initial guidance requires that in order 

to meet the Department’s goal of 

deconcentration and expanding housing and 

economic opportunities, the projects must be 

in census tracts with poverty rates of less 

than 20 percent. Section 982.207(b)(3) which 

governs tenant selection under the projectbased voucher program, states that a housing 

agency may adopt a preference for admission 

of families that include a person with 

disabilities, but may not adopt a preference 

for a person with a specific disability. 

Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: March 26, 2004. 

Reason Waived: Approval of the exception 

for deconcentration was granted since the 

project is located in an area where the state’s 

Department of Neighborhood Development 

(DND) is investing a substantial amount of 

public dollars, as well as providing 

assistance to first-time homebuyers, and local 

businesses. Additionally, the area in which 

the Columbia West project will be located is 

in a mixed-income area where a 12-unit 

homeownership development is being 

constructed. The BHA provided detailed 

information supporting the fact that this 

project is part of the city’s revitalization 

efforts. A waiver of 983.207(b)(3) was granted 

since the selection preference would be 

limited to the population of homeless 

individuals with disabilities that have 

significantly interfered with their ability to 

obtain and maintain themselves in housing, 

and who, without appropriate supportive 

services, will not be able to obtain or 

maintain themselves in housing, and for 

whom such services cannot be provided in a 

non-segregated setting. This waiver applied 

to, but was not limited to, persons with 

severe and persistent mental illnesses.

the residents of Soromundi Commons the 

opportunity to increase their earning 

potential by enrolling in and completing 

higher education courses. Finally, the area in 

which Soromundi Commons is located has 

been targeted by the State of Connecticut as 

a revitalization area. Approval to waive the 

25 percent cap on the number of units in a 

building that can have PBA attached was 

granted for the Soromundi Commons project 

since the scope of the supportive services 

included counseling and direct linkage to 

education classes, training activities in 

financial management, and employment and 

educational support services.
