Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests 

Granted for the Third Quarter of 

Calendar Year 2010 

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 July 1, 

2010, and ending on September 30, 

2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

general information about this notice, 

contact Camille E. Acevedo, Associate 

General Counsel for Legislation and 

Regulations, Department of Housing and 

Urban Development, 451 7th Street, 

SW., Room 10282, Washington, DC 

20410–0500, telephone 202–708–1793 

(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 2010. 

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). 

In accordance with those procedures 

and with the requirements of section 

106 of the HUD Reform Act, waivers of 

regulations are granted by the Assistant 

Secretary with jurisdiction over the 

regulations for which a waiver was 

requested. In those cases in which a 

General Deputy Assistant Secretary 

granted the waiver, the General Deputy 

Assistant Secretary was serving in the 

absence of the Assistant Secretary in 

accordance with the office’s Order of 

Succession. 

This notice covers waivers of 

regulations granted by HUD from July 1, 

2010, through September 30, 2010. 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 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 247 / Monday, December 27, 2010 / Notices 81293 

time sequence beginning with the 

earliest-dated regulatory waiver. 

Should HUD receive additional 

information about waivers granted 

during the period covered by this report 

(the third quarter of calendar year 2010) 

before the next report is published (the 

fourth quarter of calendar year 2010), 

HUD will include any additional 

waivers granted for the third quarter in 

the next report. 

Accordingly, information about 

approved waiver requests pertaining to 

HUD regulations is provided in the 

Appendix that follows this notice. 

Dated: December 17, 2010. 

Helen R. Kanovsky, 

General Counsel.

immediately follows the description of 

the waiver granted. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 58.22(a). 

Project/Activity: The city of Pocatello, 

Idaho (City) purchased a foreclosed 

property located at 147 and 147 A/B 

Roosevelt Avenue using non-HUD funds 

before the City entered into a 

Memorandum of Agreement with the 

State Historic Preservation Office and 

Advisory Council on Historic 

Preservation, and before the City 

completed the environmental review. 

This was done in order to not lose the 

property, since the State Historic 

Preservation Office determined that the 

rear structure was eligible for listing in 

the National Register for Historic Places 

and mitigation would be required. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 58.22(a) requires 

that an environmental review be 

performed and a request for release of 

funds be completed and certified prior 

to the commitment of non-HUD funds to 

a project using HUD funds. 

Granted By: Mercedes M. Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community 

Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: September 28, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted based on the following findings: 

the above project would further the 

HUD mission and advance HUD 

program goals to eliminate blight and 

develop affordable housing; the errors 

made in the environmental process for 

the commitment of non-HUD funds 

were made in good faith; no HUD funds 

were committed; and, based on the 

environmental assessment and the HUD 

field inspection, granting a waiver 

would not result in any unmitigated, 

adverse environmental impact.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 91.10(b). 

Project/Activity: The city of 

Bradenton, FL (City) requested a waiver 

of 24 CFR 91.10(b) because it sought to 

change its program year start date from 

May 1 to October 1 for the 2010 program 

year, effectively lengthening its 2009 

program year. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 91.10(b) requires 

that grantees notify HUD in writing at 

least two months before the date the 

program year would have ended if the 

program year had not been lengthened 

or two months before the end of a 

proposed shortened program year. 

Granted By: Mercedes Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community 

Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: August 9, 2010. 

Reason Waived: Since the City 

wanted to lengthen its 2009 program 

year, the City was required to notify 

HUD in writing of its intent to do so no 

later than February 28, 2010. The City 

notified HUD on March 22, 2010, of its 

intent to lengthen its 2009 program year, 

and did not request a regulatory waiver 

of the missed deadline until July 15, 

2010. HUD granted the waiver because 

the City advised that it sought to 

lengthen its 2009 program year so that 

it could synchronize future CDBG 

program year start dates, beginning with 

program year 2010, to coincide with the 

City’s budget year.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2). 

Project/Activity: The city of New 

Orleans, LA (City) received 

approximately $1,042,000 in 

Community Development Block Grant 

(CDBG) funds pursuant to Section 

106(c)(4) of the Housing and 

Community Development Act of 1974 

(HCDA) that were scheduled to expire at 

the end of Fiscal Year 2010. This 

statutory provision permits grantees 

affected by a major disaster declared by 

the President under the Robert T. 

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act to receive funds that 

become available as a result of actions 

under sections 104(e) or 111 of the 

HCDA. The receipt of funds constituted 

a substantial amendment to the City’s 

consolidated plan, which required that 

citizens be provided no less than 30 

days to review and comment on this 

substantial amendment to the 

consolidated plan prior to 

implementation of activities assisted 

with such funds. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) 

requires that citizens must be provided 

with reasonable notice and an 

opportunity to comment on substantial 

amendments to the consolidated plan of 

the jurisdiction in which the citizens 

reside. The citizen participation plan 

requires that citizens be given no less 

than 30 days to comment on substantial 

amendments before they are 

implemented. The city received 

approximately $1,042,000 in CDBG 

funds, which constituted a substantial 

amendment to its consolidated plan. 

Granted By: Mercedes Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community 

Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: September 22, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The City was allowed 

to shorten its comment period from 30 

days to three days so that the City could 

carry out eligible activities utilizing 

$1,042,000 in CDBG funds before such 

funds expired at the end of Fiscal Year 

2010.

• Regulations: 24 CFR 92.214(a)(6). 

Project/Activity: Prince George’s 

County of Maryland (County) requested 

a waiver of 24 CFR 92.214(a)(6) of the 

HOME regulations to allow it to provide 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
81294 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 247 / Monday, December 27, 2010 / Notices 

additional HOME funds to a project that 

had previously been assisted with 

HOME funds. 

Nature of Requirements: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 92.214(a)(6) 

prohibits participating jurisdictions 

from investing additional HOME funds 

in a project previously assisted with 

HOME funds, except during the first 

year after project completion. 

Granted By: Mercedes M. Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community 

Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: August 30, 2010. 

Reasons Waived: The County 

requested a waiver of 24 CFR 

92.214(a)(6) of the HOME regulations to 

permit the County to provide additional 

HOME funds to assist the rehabilitation 

of a 100-unit affordable housing project 

for low-income seniors. The County was 

granted the waiver because use of the 

additional HOME funds would permit 

Prince George’s County to preserve and 

extend the affordability of a low-income 

senior project.

Director, Office of Affordable Housing 

Programs, Office of Community 

Planning and Development, Department

(202) 708–4606. 

• Regulations: 24 CFR 92.300(a)(1). 

Project/Activity: The State of 

Minnesota requested a waiver of 24 CFR 

92.300(a)(1) of the HOME regulations to 

permit limited liability company (LLC) 

ownership of two HOME projects by the 

Southwest Minnesota Housing 

Partnership (SWMHP) in Buff County, 

MN. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 92.300(a)(1) 

requires that HOME funds allocated for 

investment by a community housing 

development organization (CHDO) be 

provided to the CHDO, its subsidiary, or 

a partnership of which it or its 

subsidiary is the managing general 

partner. 

Granted By: Mercedes M. Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community 

Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: August 16, 2010. 

Reasons Waived: For the first project 

considered by the waiver, SWMHP is 

the sole member and has 100 percent 

ownership of the LLC that owns the 

project. HUD determined that no waiver 

was required here because the LLC is a 

subsidiary of the CHDO and 24 CFR 

92.300(a)(1) permits the State to provide 

funds directly to a CHDO subsidiary. 

For the second project considered by the 

waiver, HUD determined that SWMHP’s 

80 percent membership interest and 

voting share give it effective 

management and control of the LLC as 

required by 24 CFR 92.300(a)(1).

telephone (202) 708–3002. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 570.308(a)(1). 

Project/Activity: The city of 

Hammonton, NJ (City) elected to accept 

its status as an entitlement community 

for FY 2011 after relinquishing such 

status for FY 2010. The City desires to 

enter into a joint agreement with 

Atlantic County, NJ, to plan and 

implement a joint housing and 

community development program. 

Nature of Requirement: A city that 

has been classified as a metropolitan 

city may accept its status, but elect not 

to receive a CDBG grant. A city or town 

such as Hammonton that accepts its 

status may enter into a joint agreement 

with an urban county, but HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 570.308(a)(1) 

provides that a county may only do so 

when the county is seeking a three-year 

requalification as an urban county. 

Atlantic County is currently entering 

into its second year of qualification for 

FYs 2010–2012 and will requalify as an 

urban county in 2012 for FYs 2013– 

2015. 

Granted By: Mercedes Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community 

Planning & Development. 

Date Granted: July 16, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The City does not 

have the available resources to prepare 

the CDBG application and reporting 

documentation, such as the citizen 

participation plan, Consolidated Plan/ 

Action Plan, fair housing analysis, and 

Consolidated Annual Performance and 

Evaluation Report. In addition, the City 

staff does not have the skills to conduct 

transaction in HUD’s Integrated 

Disbursement and Information System, 

which is necessary for successful CDBG 

program administration. Because 

Atlantic County was willing to provide 

the City with administrative services 

and supported the City’s request for a 

waiver, the waiver was granted.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 570.308(a)(1). 

Project/Activity: The city of Torrance, 

CA, (City) has qualified as a 

metropolitan city since 1974 but elected 

not to receive its CDBG grant until FY 

2011. The City desires to enter into a 

joint agreement with Los Angeles 

County, CA to plan and implement a 

joint community development program. 

Nature of Requirement: A city that 

has been designated as a metropolitan 

city may accept its status but elect not 

to receive its CDBG grant. A city that 

now elects to accept its CDBG grant 

such as Torrance may enter into a joint 

agreement with an urban county, but 

HUD’s regulation at 24 CFR 

570.308(a)(1) provides that a city may 

only do so when the county is seeking 

a three-year requalification as an urban 

county. Los Angeles County is currently 

entering into its third year of 

qualification for FYs 2010–2011 and 

will requalify as an urban county in 

2011 for FYs 2012–2014. 

Granted By: Mercedes Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community 

Planning & Development. 

Date Granted: August 16, 2010. 

Reason Waived: Torrance has never 

carried out any activities under the 

CDBG program and does not have the 

available resources to prepare the CDBG 

application and reporting 

documentation, such as the citizen 

participation plan, Consolidated Plan/ 

Action Plan, fair housing analysis, and 

Consolidated Annual Performance and 

Evaluation Report. In addition, Torrance 

staff does not have the skills to conduct 

transactions in HUD’s Integrated 

Disbursement and Information System, 

which is necessary for successful CDBG 

program administration. Because Los 

Angeles County was willing to provide 

Torrance with administrative services 

and supported the City’s request for a 

waiver, the waiver was granted.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.330(a)(1) 

and (b)(1). 

Project/Activity: The Downtown 

Emergency Service Center (DESC) 

located in the city of Seattle, WA (City) 

is funded by a HOPWA competitive 

grant recipient that provides permanent 

and supportive services to persons 

living with HIV/AIDS. Following a HUD 

field office compliance monitoring visit 

in April 2010, it was determined that 

DESC provided short-term supported 

housing to 60 families, beyond the limit 

of 50 families as prescribed in the 

HOPWA regulation. In addition, the 

center was also supporting these 

families for longer than the allotted sixmonth period. 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 247 / Monday, December 27, 2010 / Notices 81295 

Nature of Requirement: The HOPWA 

regulation at 24 CFR 574.330(a)(1) and 

(b)(1) prohibits short-term supported 

housing facilities from providing 

residence to any individual for more 

than 60 days during any six month 

period. Rent, mortgage, and utilities 

payments to prevent the homelessness 

of the tenant or mortgagor of a dwelling 

may not be provided to such an 

individual for these costs accruing over 

a period of more than 21 weeks in any 

52 week period. The regulation also 

prohibits any short-term supported 

facility from providing shelter or 

housing at any single time to more than 

50 families or individuals. 

Granted By: Mercedes M. Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community 

Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: September 9, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted because this HOPWA assisted 

housing project fills a need for 

temporary housing and neither of the 

two alternative local facilities, which 

were not HUD-funded facilities, was 

acceptable. One facility only accepted 

residents on an ‘‘ad hoc, late-night 

attendance basis,’’ while the other 

required religious participation on 

behalf of the program beneficiaries. In 

addition, it was recognized that the 

regulatory 50-individual/50-bed 

limitation coupled with the lack of 

available alternative facilities capable of 

addressing client service needs, 

presented significant challenges to the 

City in addressing homelessness.

• Regulation: Section IV.A.1 of the 

Notice of Allocations, Application 

Procedures, and Requirements for 

Homelessness Prevention and Rapid ReHousing Program Grantees under the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009 (HPRP Notice). 

Project/Activity: Homelessness 

Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing 

Program (HPRP) grantee, Metropolitan 

Government of Nashville and Davidson 

County (MGNDC), Nashville, Tennessee, 

requested a waiver of Section IV.A.1 of 

the HPRP Notice in order to place HPRP 

participants in housing owned by the 

subgrantee, Renewal House. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

IV.A.1. of the HPRP Notice provides that 

HPRP financial assistance may not be 

used in connection with housing owned 

by the grantee, subgrantee, or the parent, 

subsidiary, or affiliated organization of 

the subgrantee. 

Granted By: Mercedes Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community 

Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: September 9, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The grantee 

sufficiently demonstrated that: (1) The 

use of the housing owned by Renewal 

House was necessary to provide an 

adequate supply of appropriate housing 

options for HPRP participants; (2) 

Renewal House disclosed the conflict of 

interest; (3) MGNDC’s attorney reviewed 

the conflict of interest and determined 

that the use of the housing owned by the 

subgrantee would not violate state or 

local law; (4) HPRP participants would 

not be required or steered to live in 

Renewal House’s housing in order to 

receive financial or other assistance 

under HPRP; (5) the use of the housing 

owned by Renewal House would not 

result in any personal or financial gain

II. 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 200.72. 

Project/Activity: Long Island College 

Hospital (LICH)—Brooklyn, NY. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 200.72 provides 

that to be eligible for FHA programs, a 

project must be compliant with local 

zoning and building codes before a 

closing occurs. 

Granted By: David H. Stevens, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing, Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: September 23, 2010. 

Reason Waived: HUD’s regulation at 

24 CFR 200.72 requires LICH to obtain 

a ‘‘Permanent Certificate of Occupancy’’ 

from the New York Building 

Department before proceeding to ‘‘Final 

Endorsement.’’ In New York City, it is 

not unusual for hospitals to wait many 

years for a final occupancy certificate. 

This waiver would be only for HUD 

insured mortgage loan requirements so 

LICH may proceed to final closing. The 

Hospital must still comply with local 

ordinances and laws.

Project/Activity: Oakwood Shores 

Senior Apartments, Chicago, IL, Project 

Number: 121–EE205/CA39–S081–001. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

891.130(b) an identity of interest 

between the Sponsor or Owner (or 

Borrower, as applicable) and any 

development team member or between 

development team members is 

prohibited until two years after final 

closing. Section 891.830(b) allows the 

capital advance funds be drawn down 

only in an approved ratio to other funds, 

in accordance with draw down schedule 

approved by HUD. Section 891.830(c) 

(4) permits the capital advance drawn 

down will be used only for eligible costs 

actually incurred in accordance with the 

provisions of this subpart and the 

approved mixed-finance project. 

Granted by: David H. Stevens, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing— 

Federal Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: July 19, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted to allow the investor to have 

more than one role in the mixed finance 

transaction and additional time was 

needed for the sponsor/owner to obtain 

a new investor, to permit capital 

advance funds be expended before the 

tax credit equity. Additionally, granting 

of the waiver would allow the capital 

advance to be expended before the tax 

credit equity and to permit capital 

advance funds to pay off that portion of 

the tax exempt bonds that strictly relate 

to capital advance eligible costs after 

completion of construction at initial/ 

final closing.

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 5.801(d)(1). 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority 

(HA) of the City of New Haven (CT004), 

New Haven, CT. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. The audited financial statements 

are required to be submitted to the Real 

Estate Assessment Center (REAC) no 

later than nine months after the housing 

authority’s (HA) fiscal year end (FYE), 

in accordance with the Single Audit Act 

and OMB Circular A–133. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: August 6, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA submitted 

that it had encountered several internal 

control problems that contributed to the 

delay in submitting the FYE 2008 audit, 

thereby delaying submission of the FYE 

2009 audited financial information. 

Primarily, conversion to a new 

accounting system resulted in an 

insufficient audit trail. As a result, both 

the HA and the auditors could not be 

assured the HA account balances were 

being properly recorded. The waiver 

was partially approved. Specifically, the 

HA requested a six month waiver of the 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
81300 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 247 / Monday, December 27, 2010 / Notices 

audited financial submission reporting 

requirements, however, HUD granted 

three month waiver. In granting the 

waiver, HUD required the HA to submit 

its FYE September 30, 2009, audited 

financial information no later than 

September 30, 2010. The waiver 

provided the HA with additional time to 

input and complete the June 30, 2009, 

audited financial information.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1). 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority 

(HA) of Fulton County, (GA264), 

Atlanta, GA. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. The audited financial statements 

are required to be submitted to the Real 

Estate Assessment Center (REAC) no 

later than nine months after the housing 

authority’s (HA) fiscal year end (FYE), 

in accordance with the Single Audit Act 

and OMB Circular A–133. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: August 6, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA submitted 

that the FYE September 30, 2009, audit 

was started in April 2010; however, 

additional compliance testing and 

validation were required by the auditors 

as a result of problems with the agency’s 

financial data. In addition, the HA 

reported that significant turnover of key 

management positions which included 

the Executive Director and the Chief 

financial Officer also contributed to the 

delay. The HA stated as a result of these 

events, the audit could not be 

completed by the due date. The waiver 

was approved and the HA was given an 

additional 30 days to permit the audit 

documentation to be adequately 

completed and to allow sufficient time 

for drafting the financial statements and 

inputting the September 30, 2009, 

audited financial information into the 

online system.

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez,

documentation to be adequately 

completed and allow sufficient time for 

drafting financial statements and 

imputing the September 30, 2009,

• Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1). 

Project/Activity: Rockingham Housing 

Authority (HA), (NC025), Rockingham, 

NC. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. The audited financial statements 

are required to be submitted to the Real 

Estate Assessment Center (REAC) no

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: August 13, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA submitted 

that as a result of a federal and local 

investigation, several of the HA’s tenant, 

financial and personnel files were 

seized. In addition, the HA reported that 

a new administration arrived at the HA 

in December 2009, and discovered that 

the procurement of audit services for FY 

2009 audit had not been completed. 

Subsequently, a contract was executed 

on April 21, 2010. The waiver was 

granted and the additional time would 

permit the audit documentation to be 

adequately completed and allow 

sufficient time for drafting the financial 

statements and imputing the June 30, 

2009, audited financial information into 

the online system. The waiver required 

the HA to submit its FYE June 30, 2009,

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.40. 

Project/Activity: City of Phoenix 

Housing Department (HA), (AZ001), 

Phoenix, AZ. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes 

that public housing agencies are 

required to submit a management 

operations certification under Public 

Housing Assessment System (PHAS). In 

accordance with Federal Register Notice 

(FR–5428–N–01), dated July 23, 2010, 

Public housing agencies that requested 

and was granted a waiver for their 

management operations certification for 

FYEs June 30, 2009, or September 30, 

2009, may request another waiver for 

the FYE June 30, 2010, or September 30, 

2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: August 13, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA was granted 

a waiver from HUD on May 10, 2010. 

However, the HA remained in the 

process of continuing its conversion to 

asset management and purchased a new 

business system that would be able to 

track information at the Asset 

Management project level. The system is 

not yet fully functional and the HA 

advised that it would need to utilize 

data from both the old and new systems, 

along with relevant paper documents in 

order to ensure that the retrieved data 

would be accurate and would not 

contain duplicate information. Since 

this would result in a continuing 

administrative hardship, the waiver was 

granted.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.40. 

Project/Activity: Allegheny County 

Housing Authority (HA), (PA006), 

Pittsburgh, PA. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes 

that public housing agencies are 

required to submit a management 

operations certification under Public 

Housing Assessment System (PHAS). In 

accordance with Federal Register

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: September 1, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA was granted 

a waiver for June 30, 2009, and the HA 

successfully completed its conversion to 

asset management. The HA completely 

changed its software systems and its 

management procedures for its 33 Asset 

Management Projects. Reversing these 

systems and manually amassing the 

information would impose a 

burdensome and time consuming 

administrative hardship. For this 

reason, the waiver was granted for FYE 

June 30, 2010 and the most recent 

management operations score of record 

were allowed to be carried over to the 

fiscal year being assessed.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.40. 

Project/Activity: Fayette County 

Housing Authority (HA), (PA015),

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes 

that public housing agencies are 

required to submit a management 

operations certification under Public 

Housing Assessment System (PHAS). In 

accordance with Federal Register

2010, Public housing agencies that

2010, or September 30, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: September 10, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the management operations 

certification requirements for the fiscal 

year ending (FYE) June 30, 2010. The 

HA was granted a waiver for the FYE 

June 30, 2009, and remains in the 

process of continuing its conversion to 

asset management. The HA began 

implementing the required changes in 

its software and record keeping systems 

to meet the new reporting requirements. 

Because it was determined that 

manually gathering data in support of 

the current MASS submission 

requirements would be difficult, time 

consuming, and result in an 

administrative hardship, the waiver was 

granted for FYE June 30, 2010 and the 

most recent management operations 

score of record were allowed to be 

carried over to the fiscal year being 

assessed.

Notice (FR–5428–N–01), dated July 23, 

2010, Public housing agencies that 

requested and was granted a waiver for 

their management operations 

certification for FYEs June 30, 2009, or 

September 30, 2009, may request 

another waiver for the FYE June 30, 

2010, or September 30, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: September 10, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the management operations 

certification requirements for the fiscal 

year ending (FYE) September 30, 2010. 

The HA was granted a waiver for the 

FYE September 30, 2009, and completed 

its conversion to asset management. The 

HA reported that it no longer tracks 

management operations at all of its 

public housing sites, including its HOPE

VI sites that are privately managed and 

converted its existing software program 

to track operations individually at each 

of its asset management project sites. 

Because the resources required to 

accurately produce the required reports 

to support a consolidated management 

operations certification are no longer 

available and would result in a 

continuing administrative hardship, the 

waiver was granted. The waiver was 

granted for FYE September 30, 2010, 

and the most recent management 

operations score of record were allowed 

to be carried over to the fiscal year being 

assessed.

Housing Authority (MPHA), 

Minneapolis, MN. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 983.55(b) states 

that the public housing agency may not 

enter an agreement to enter into a 

housing assistance payments contract 

(AHAP) until HUD or an independent 

entity approved by HUD has conducted 

any required subsidy layering review 

and determined that the project-based 

voucher assistance is in accordance 

with HUD subsidy layering 

requirements. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: September 2, 2010. 

Reason Waived: This waiver was 

granted because MPHA misunderstood 

the requirements and did not attempt to 

avoid compliance. The project also 

complied with HUD’s strategic goal of 

increasing the number of affordable 

housing for families.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 983.58(d)(1)(i), 

983.152(b), and 983.153(a) and (b). 

Project/Activity: Minneapolis Public 

Housing Authority (MPHA), 

Minneapolis, MN. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 983.58(d)(1)(i) 

prohibits a public housing agency (PHA) 

from entering into an Agreement to 

Enter into a HAP Contract (AHAP) or 

starting construction until such time as 

the responsible entity has completed the 

environmental review and HUD has 

approved the environmental 

certification and request for release of 

funds. HUD’s regulation at 24 CFR 

983.152(b) requires that a PHA enter 

into an AHAP in which the owner 

agrees to develop the contract units to 

comply with housing quality standards 

(HQS) and the PHA agrees that, upon 

timely completion of such development 

in accordance with the terms of the 

AHAP, the PHA will enter into a HAP 

contract with the owner for the units. 

HUD’s regulation at 24 CFR 983.153(a) 

and (b) states that: (a) The PHA may not 

enter the AHAP with the owner until 

the subsidy layering review is 

completed; and (b) the PHA may not 

enter the AHAP with the owner until 

the environmental review is completed 

and the PHA has received the 

environmental approval. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: August 13, 2010. 

Reason Waived: Based on the 

documentation that was reviewed by the 

field office showing that environmental 

review requirements were met and that 

the developer complied with the 

requirements under the AHAP, as well 

as the fact that without a commitment 

of PBV assistance the viability of six 

projects as affordable housing to replace 

the significant loss of affordable housing 

units as a result of Hurricane Katrina 

would be in jeopardy.

983.153(c). 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of 

the City of Los Angeles (HACLA), Los 

Angeles, CA. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulation at 983.152(a) requires that a 

public housing agency (PHA) must enter 

into an Agreement to Enter into a 

Housing Assistance Payments (AHAP) 

Contract in a form required by HUD. 

HUD’s regulation at 24 CFR 983.153(c) 

requires prompt execution of the AHAP 

after PHA notice of proposal selection to 

the selected owner. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: August 17, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The waivers were 

granted because the owner certified that 

the developer complied with the 

requirements under the AHAP, and 

because the unique circumstances 

surrounding the need for PBV assistance 

for the project as an integral piece of a 

much larger funding commitment to 

serve low-income elderly, homeless and 

special needs populations.

information. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Paperwork Reduction Act provides that 

an agency may not conduct or sponsor 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. Until OMB approves a 

collection of information, you are not 

obligated to respond. 44 U.S.C. 3506 

and 3507. 

OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320, 

which implement provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501–3521), require that interested 

members of the public and affected 

agencies be provided an opportunity to 

comment on information collection and 

recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 

1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)). This notice 

identifies information collections that 

are contained in 43 CFR part 4700. 

The following information is provided 

for the information collection: 

Title: Protection, Management, and 

Control of Wild Free-Roaming Horses 

and Burros (43 CFR part 4700). 

Form: Form 4710–10, Application for 

Adoption of Wild Horse(s) or Burro(s). 

OMB Control Number: 1004–0042. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: This notice pertains to the 

collection of information that is 

necessary to administer the BLM’s 

adoption program for wild horses and 

burros. The BLM uses the information to 

determine if applicants are qualified to 

enter into a Private Maintenance and 

Care Agreement (i.e., adopt wild horses 

and/or burros), to determine whether or 

not to grant requests for replacement 

animals or refunds, and to make other 

arrangements for animals’ care when an 

adopter wants to terminate a Private 

Maintenance and Care Agreement. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Estimated Annual Number and 

Description of Respondents: 14,452 

individuals and households (including 

14,000 applicants for adoption of wild 

horses or burros, 12 seeking 

authorization for private maintenance of 

more than 4 wild horses or burros, 320 

requesting termination of Private 

Maintenance and Care Agreement, and 

120 requesting replacement animals). 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: Varies from 10 to 30 minutes 

depending on activity. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: 14,452 

responses and 7,222 hours. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ 

Burden: $7,200. 

60-Day Notice: As required in 5 CFR 

1320.8(d), the BLM published a 60-day 

notice in the Federal Register on June 

28, 2010 (75 FR 36665), soliciting 

comments from the public and other 

interested parties. The comment period 

closed on August 27, 2010. The BLM 

received one comment. The comment 

was a general invective about the 

Federal government, the Department of 

the Interior, and the BLM. It did not 

address, and was not germane to, this 

information collection. Therefore, we 

have not changed the information 

collection in response to the comment. 

The BLM again requests comments on 

the following subjects: 

1. Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

functioning of the BLM, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. The accuracy of the BLM’s estimate 

of the burden of collecting the 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

3. The quality, utility and clarity of 

the information to be collected; and 

4. How to minimize the information 

collection burden on those who are to 

respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other forms of 

information technology.
