supporting services and infrastructure 

improvements. 

The City of Renton is also proposing 

to adopt a Planned Action Ordinance 

pursuant to SEPA. A Planned Action 

Ordinance, if adopted, would not 

require future SEPA threshold 

determinations or EISs for future 

projects that are consistent with EIS 

assumptions and mitigation measures. 

The proposal is reviewed in terms of 

three alternatives. 

Alternative 1, No Action. RHA would 

develop affordable housing on two 

vacant properties, but it would not 

redevelop the Sunset Terrace public 

housing property. Very limited public 

investment would be implemented (e.g., 

some community services but no NE 

Sunset Boulevard or drainage 

improvements), resulting in lesser 

redevelopment across the Planned 

Action study area. A Planned Action 

would not be designated. The No Action 

Alternative is required to be studied 

under NEPA and SEPA. 

Alternative 2. This alternative 

represents a moderate level of growth in 

the Planned Action Study Area based on 

investment in mixed-income housing 

and mixed uses in the Potential Sunset 

Terrace Redevelopment Subarea, 

targeted infrastructure and public 

services throughout the Planned Action 

study area, and adoption of a Planned 

Action Ordinance. 

Alternative 3. This alternative 

represents the highest level of growth in 

the Planned Action study area, based on 

investment in the Potential Sunset 

Terrace Redevelopment Subarea with a 

greater number dwellings developed in 

a mixed-income, mixed-use style, major 

public investment in study area 

infrastructure and services, and 

adoption of a Planned Action 

Ordinance. 

The lead agency has addressed the 

following areas in the Draft EIS: 

Aesthetics; air quality, including 

greenhouse gas emissions; earth; energy; 

environmental health; environmental 

justice; historic/cultural resources; 

housing; land use; noise; parks and 

recreation; plants and animals; public 

services, including public education, 

safety, health, and social services; 

socioeconomics, including 

demographic, employment, and 

displacement; transportation; utilities, 

including wastewater, stormwater, 

water supply, telecommunication, 

natural gas, power, electrical; and water 

resources, including groundwater and 

surface water. Mitigation measures are 

identified in the Draft EIS. 

Questions may be directed to the 

individual named above under the

Federal Housing Administration (FHA):

Expressions of Interest 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On November 10, 2010, HUD 

published a notice that announced its 

proposal to conduct an FHA Home 

Energy Retrofit Loan Pilot Program 

(Retrofit Pilot Program or Pilot Program) 

known as FHA PowerSaver. The 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 

directs HUD to conduct an Energy 

Efficient Mortgage Innovation pilot 

program targeted to the single family 

housing market, and the Retrofit Pilot 

Program is designed by HUD to meet 

this statutory directive and provides 

funding to support that effort. The 

November 10, 2010, notice solicited 

public comment and invited lenders 

interested in participating in the Pilot 

Program to submit Expressions of 

Interest. The deadline for both the 

submission of public comments and 

expressions of interest from lenders is 

December 27, 2010. 

This notice extends the date for 

submission of Expressions of Interest to 

January 31, 2011. The public comment 

deadline, however, remains December 

27, 2010. 

DATES: Due Date for Expressions of 

Interest: January 31, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: As provided in the 

November 10, 2010, notice, lenders 

interested in participating in this Pilot 

Program must email their Expressions of 

Interest to FHAPowerSaver@hud.gov in 

accordance with Appendix A of the 

November 10, 2010, notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register on November 10, 2010 (75 FR 

69112) that announced its proposal to 

conduct an FHA Home Energy Retrofit 

Loan Pilot Program (Retrofit Pilot 

Program or Pilot Program) known as 

FHA PowerSaver. The Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111– 

117, approved December 16, 2009, 123 

Stat. 3034) (2010 Appropriations Act), 

which appropriated Fiscal Year (FY) 

2010 funds for HUD, among other 

agencies, appropriated $50 million for 

an Energy Innovation Fund to enable 

HUD to catalyze innovations in the 

residential energy efficiency sector that 

have the promise of replicability and 

help create a standardized home energy 

efficient retrofit market. Of the $50 

million appropriated for the Energy 

Innovation Fund, the 2010 

Appropriations Act stated that 

‘‘$25,000,000 shall be for the Energy 

Efficient Mortgage Innovation pilot 

program directed at the single family 

housing market.’’ (See Pub. L. 111–117, 

at 123 Stat. 3089.) 

Under the Retrofit Pilot Program, 

HUD, through FHA-approved lenders, 

will insure loans for homeowners who 

are seeking to make energy 

improvements to their homes. As 

provided in the November 10, 2010, 

notice, HUD intends to select a limited 

number of lenders to participate in the 

Retrofit Pilot Program. The Pilot 

Program will be for loans originated 

during a 2-year period, will be restricted 

to lenders approved by HUD to 

participate in the Pilot Program, and 

will be conducted in geographic areas 

identified by HUD as optimum locations 

to conduct the Pilot Program. In making 

these determinations, HUD will 

consider the factors and criteria 

proposed in the November 10, 2010, 

notice to establish the framework for the 

Pilot Program, and the public comments 

received in response to HUD’s 

solicitation of comment. In addition to 

seeking comments on the proposed Pilot 

Program, HUD invited lenders 

interested in participating in this Pilot 

Program to notify HUD of such interest 

as provided in Appendix A to the 

November 10, 2010, notice. 

This notice extends the period in 

which lenders may submit expressions 

of interest to January 31, 2010. HUD, 

however, is not extending the public 

comment deadline. In order to be in a 

position to make final determinations

it is important for the public comment

can commence the review of comments 

and consideration of issues and 

suggestions raised.

and phone number of the applicant, 

sponsoring agency, class name, start

NCTC uses data from the form to 

generate class rosters, class transcripts, 

and statistics, and as a budgeting tool 

for projecting training requirements. It is 

also used to track attendance, 

mandatory requirements, tuition, and 

invoicing for all NCTC-sponsored 

courses both on- and off-site.
