 AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel, HUD.
 ACTION: Notice.
 SUMMARY: Section 106 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (the HUD Reform Act) requires HUD to publish quarterly 
                            **Federal Register**
                             notices of all regulatory waivers that HUD has approved. Each notice covers the quarterly period since the previous 
                            **Federal Register**
                             notice. The purpose of this notice is to comply with the requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act. This notice contains a list of regulatory waivers granted by HUD during the period beginning on April 1, 2004, and ending on June 30, 2004.
 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general information about this notice, contact Aaron Santa Anna, Assistant General Counsel for Regulations, Room 10276, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-0500, telephone (202) 708-3055 (this is not a toll-free number). Persons with hearing-or speech-impairments may access this number through TTY by calling the toll-free Federal Information Relay Service at 800-877-8339. For information concerning a particular waiver that was granted and for which public notice is provided in 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 second 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 April 1, 2004, through June 30, 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 Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, the Office of Housing, and 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 (which will be for the period July 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004) will include these earlier waivers that were granted, as well as those that occurred during April 1, 2004, through June 30, 2004. Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this notice. Dated: October 28, 2004. Kathleen D. Koch, Acting General Counsel.
 Appendix—Listing of Waivers of Regulatory Requirements Granted by Offices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development April 1, 2004, Through June 30, 2004 Note to Reader: More information about the granting of these waivers, including a copy of the waiver request and approval, may be obtained by contacting the person whose name is listed as the contact person directly after each set of regulatory waivers granted. The regulatory waivers granted appear in the following order: I. Regulatory waivers granted by the Office of Community Planning and Development. II. Regulatory waivers granted by the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. III. Regulatory waivers granted by the Office of Housing. IV. Regulatory waivers granted by the Office of Public and Indian Housing. I. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Community Planning and Development 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 92.503(b)(1). *Project/Activity:*
                             The City of Amarillo, Texas, requested a waiver of the HOME Program repayment requirement for foreclosed properties, as established at 24 CFR 92.503(b)(1). *Nature of Requirement:*
                             Section 92.503(b)(1) requires the grantee to repay funds when invested in a homebuyer project that does not meet the affordability requirement for the period specified in 24 CFR 92.254 of the HOME regulations. *Granted by:*
                             Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. *Date Granted:*
                             May 19, 2004. *Reasons Waived:*
                             Participating jurisdictions have very limited ability to prevent foreclosures of owner-occupied properties. The City of Amarillo was unaware that its program design potentially obligated it to repay all or a portion of the HOME funds that it provided to a homebuyer in the event of foreclosure, requiring the city to make such repayments for properties under its original program design would constitute a hardship. The potential hardship to the city justified good cause for granting the waiver. *Contact:*
                             Virginia Sardone, Office of Affordable Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone (202) 708-2470. II. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity 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. 
                            ( print page 64441) *Regulation:*24 CFR 135.38. *Project/Activity:*
                             City of Watsonville, California, Public Parking Facility and Community Planning and Development funded assistance. *Nature of Requirement:*
                             The work to be performed under a contract for this project, which funded by HUD assistance, is subject to the requirements of section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 in section 3 of HUD's regulations in 24 CFR part 135. The purpose of section 3 is to ensure that employment and other economic opportunities generated by HUD assistance or HUD-assisted projects covered by section 3, shall, to the greatest extent feasible, be directed to low- and very-low income persons, particularly persons who are recipients of HUD assistance for housing. Section 135.38 of HUD's regulations requires all section 3 contracts to include a clause that reflects compliance with section 3. *Granted by:*
                             Carolyn Y. Peoples, Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. *Date Granted:*
                             April 5, 2004. *Reason Waived:*
                             The City of Watsonville, a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement city was in jeopardy of losing $2.75 million dollar grant from the United States Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA) for a public parking structure in downtown Watsonville. This was an issue because EDA took the position that the inclusion of the section 3 clause in the construction contracts would conflict with its procurement regulations and stated that it would not approve the City of Watsonville's procurement document if they include the section 3 clause. Because of the exigent circumstances outlined in the waiver request and the considerable harm that would have resulted to the City of Watsonville, the waiver was granted. *Contact:*
                             Linda J. Thompson, Director of Office of Economic Opportunity, Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-2000, telephone (202) 708-6385. III. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of 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 5.801. *Project/Activity:*
                             United Manor Apartments, Tarboro, NC, Project Number: 053-35018. *Nature of Requirement:*
                             Section 5.801 governs the submission of the financial statements for multifamily properties receiving HUD assistance. *Granted by:*
                             John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing Commissioner. *Date Granted:*
                             May 21, 2004. *Reason Waived:*
                             The property was under construction with a certificate of occupancy anticipated for June 2004. The submission of the Fiscal Year 2003 financial statement was waived because the property was not in operation during that fiscal year. *Contact:*
                             Beverly J. Miller, Director, Office of Asset Management, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 708-3730. *Regulation:*24 CFR 236.725(e)(2). *Project/Activity:*
                             Oakview Apartments, Millville, NJ, Project Number: 031-001N1. *Nature of Requirement:*
                             Section 236.725 limits the term of the rental assistance contract to the term of the mortgage or 40 years from the date of the first payment made under the contract, whichever is the lesser. *Granted by:*
                             John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing Commissioner. *Date Granted:*
                             June 18, 2004. *Reason Waived:*
                             The regulation was waived because it was determined that the project could be maintained as an affordable housing resource to the maturity date of the non-insured Section 236 mortgage plus an additional five years through the execution and recording of a Decoupling Use Agreement. *Contact:*
                             Beverly J. Miller, Director, Office of Asset Management, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 708-3730. *Regulation:*24 CFR 290.30(a). *Project/Activity:*
                             Hilltop Gardens, Danville, VA, Project Number: 051-EH162. *Nature of Requirement:*
                             Section 290.30(a) requires that HUD-held multifamily mortgages be sold on a competitive basis, except for certain “negotiated” sales to state or local governments. *Granted by:*
                             John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing Commissioner. *Date Granted:*
                             June 8, 2004. *Reason Waived:*
                             The sale of the note of Roman Eagle Properties, Inc., to Roman Eagle Memorial Home was determined more beneficial to the community than a competitive note sale because it ensures a local, continuing involvement in the facility and would give the residents a greater feeling of stability in that the original sponsor would continue to be very much involved in the property and dedicated to the principles sought in the property when the original financing was secured from HUD in 1991. *Contact:*
                             Beverly J. Miller, Director, Office of Asset Management, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 708-3730. *Regulation:*24 CFR 401.600. *Project/Activity:*
                             The following projects requested waivers to the 12-month limitation imposed on above-market rents (24 CFR 401.600): FHA Number

 *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 Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured mortgages during the restructuring process. *Granted by:*
                             John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing Commissioner. *Date Granted:*
                             April 27, 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. *Contact:*

                             The following projects requested waivers to the simple interest requirement on the second mortgage to allow compound interest at the applicable federal rate in 24 CFR 401.461. FHA Number

 *Nature of Requirement:*
                             Section 401.461 requires that the second mortgages have an interest rate not more than the applicable federal rate. Section 401.461(b)(1) states that interest will accrue but not compound. The intent of simple interest instead of compound interest is to limit the size of the second mortgage accruals to increase the likelihood of long-term financial and physical integrity. *Granted by:*
                             John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing Commissioner. *Date Granted:*
                             May 26, 2004. *Reason Waived:*
                             This regulatory restriction would be construed as a form of federal subsidy, thereby creating a loss of tax credit equity. The loss would have adversely affected the ability to close the restructuring plan and could cause the loss or deterioration of these affordable housing projects. Therefore, compound interest was necessary for the owner to obtain Low Income Housing Tax Credits under favorable terms and in order to maximize the savings to the federal government. *Contact:*
                             Dennis Manning, Office of Multifamily Housing Assistance Restructuring, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Portals Building, Suite 400, 1280 Maryland Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20410-8000 telephone (202) 708-3856. *Regulation:*24 CFR 883.306(b)(1). *Project/Activity:*
                             Ashland/Dellwood Apartments, Cambridge, MN, Project Number: MN46-H162—MHFA #80-092. *Nature of Requirement:*
                             Section 883.306 restricts distribution on state agency administered Section 8 projects. Section 883.306(b)(1) provides that, for projects for elderly families, the first year's distribution will be limited to six percent on equity. *Granted by:*

                             Approval to waive selection preference requirements was granted since seven units in this project were developed with HOPWA funds and none will receive rental or operating subsidy under the HOPWA program. Since by law persons with HIV/AIDS only may occupy units developed with HOPWA funds, a public housing agency may only authorize occupancy of such units that also receive PBA by persons with HIV/AIDS. The requirement to have vouchers available at the time of execution of an AHAP was waived since the SFHA reported that it had a turnover of approximately 23 vouchers per month. That coupled with the 97 available vouchers at the time of the waiver request indicated that the SFHA would have sufficient voucher unit months to meet its contractual obligation for 88 units at Mission Creek Apartments when the housing assistance payments contract is executed in September 2005. *Contact:*

                             San Francisco Housing Authority (SFHA), San Francisco, CA. The SFHA requested a waiver of the regulation so that it could renew a project-based certificate (PBC) housing assistance payments (HAP) contract for the 381 Turk Street project beyond the expiration date of the Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) since funding increments are only renewed for three-month periods. *Nature of Requirement:*24 CFR 983.151(c) requires that, with HUD field office approval, and at the sole option of the public housing agency (PHA), PHAs may renew expiring HAP contracts for such period or periods as the HUD field office determines appropriate to achieve long-term affordability of the assisted housing, provided that the term does not extend beyond the ACC expiration date for the funding source. PHAs must identify the funding source for renewals. Different funding sources may be used for the initial term and renewal terms of the HAP contract. *Granted by:*

                             Approval to waive competitive selection was granted for this project since it underwent a competitive process and was awarded Low Income Housing Tax Credits through the Illinois Housing Development Authority. An exception to the deconcentration requirements was granted since the Emerson Park neighborhood, in which the project will be located, has been targeted for redevelopment by the city and private investors. The Pfizer/Elemetus Company has built a $2.5 million office complex for regional staff. The Metro Link light rail system has developed two stations containing retail and small businesses. The Emerson Park Development Corporation recently broke ground for 12 new for-sale single-family market rate units priced between $140,000 and $180,000. There has been a significant decrease in the poverty rate of the census tract over a 10-year period and the housing and commercial activities described above are consistent with the goal of deconcentrating poverty and expanding housing and economic opportunities. *Contact:*

                             In September 1996, the Oakland Housing Authority was granted a waiver to permit the authority to benefit from energy performance contracting for developments with resident-paid utilities. The waiver was granted on the basis that the authority presented a sound and reasonable methodology for doing so. The Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority requested a waiver based on the same approved methodology. The waiver would permit the housing authority to exclude from its performance funding system (PFS) calculation of rental income the increased rental income due to the difference between updated baseline utility allowances (before implementation of the energy conservation measures) and revised allowances (after implementation of the measures) for the project(s) involved for the duration of the contract period, which cannot exceed 12 years. *Contact:*

The replacement homes were constructed solely with tribal funds. The Tribe has executed MHOAs with two income-eligible families for the replacement units. *Contact:*

                             Approval of the exception to exceed the 25 percent cap on the number of units in a building that can have PBA attached was granted since through partnerships developed in conjunction with the development of a HOPE VI Community and Supportive Services plan, the following supportive services were available to all the families living in the development: job training, placement and retention; childcare, education; and transportation. The partners include: Winston-Salem Urban League; Goodwill Industries; Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Workforce Development Board; Northwest Child Development Council; Department of Social Services; Forsyth Technical Community College; Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools; and Winston-Salem Transit Authority. The supportive services were consistent with the statute. *Contact:*

                             Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS), Hartford, CT. The DSS requested an exception to the initial guidance for two units in the Riverplace Commons Condominiums located in New Haven, CT. The condominiums are located in a census tract with a poverty rate greater than 20 percent. *Nature of Requirement:*
                             Section II.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:*

                             Approval of the exception for deconcentration was granted since the area of the city where the units would be located is currently undergoing a tremendous economic redevelopment and revitalization effort. There are several housing initiatives underway in the area. For example, the New Haven Housing Authority is planning to rebuild a public housing project with a $20 million HOPE VI grant. Additionally, a blighted public housing complex has been torn down and plans are underway to develop new housing opportunities. More than $500 million in state and federal funds have been targeted for the Front Street area where the Riverplace Condominiums are located. The city of New Haven has begun over a dozen urban development projects that will create jobs in the area in which the proposed project-based units will be located. Specifically, the city, acting through its Development Commission, is involved in a comprehensive revitalization program for the neighborhood. The plan proposes the redevelopment of significant vacant land and building spaces for new light industrial and manufacturing uses, and the development of a waterfront park. *Contact:*

                             Albany Housing Authority (AHA), Albany, NY. The AHA requested an exception to the initial guidance since DePaul Residence is located in a census tract with a poverty rate of 26 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:*

                             Approval of the exception for deconcentration was granted since the project is in a New York State-designated Empire Zone. These zones were created in 1986 to stimulate economic growth. Through a variety of financial incentives and economic development benefits, the program was designed to both help existing businesses expand and attract new businesses from outside the state or new start-up ventures. Toward that end, a $400 million investment by the state of New York and the semi-conduction industry went into the development of SEMATECH NORTH. The facility is located at University of Albany-SUNY that is located two miles from DePaul Residence. It was completed in 2003 and created 500 new jobs. Early in 2004 Governor Pataki announced plans for a new college program at the university that will train Albany residents for jobs at SEMATECH NORTH. The significant investment into the local colleges and their related activities to job creation at the SEMATECH NORTH facility were consistent with the goal of deconcentrating poverty and expanding housing and economic opportunities. *Contact:*
