the Pilot is achieving, and has achieved, the specified outcomes that the Pilot is designed to achieve; 

(K) the statutory, regulatory, or administrative requirements related to Federal mandatory programs that are 

barriers to achieving improved outcomes of the Pilot; and 

(L) in cases where, during the course of the Pilot, 

it is determined that the Pilot is not achieving the specified

(i) the consequences that will result from such 

deficiencies with respect to the Federal discretionary 

funds that are being used in the Pilot, and 

(ii) the corrective actions that will be taken in 

order to increase the likelihood that the Pilot, upon 

completion, will have achieved such specified outcomes. 

(d) AGENCY HEAD DETERMINATIONS.—A Federal agency may 

participate in a Performance Partnership Pilot (including by providing Federal discretionary funds that have been appropriated 

to such agency) only upon the written determination by the head 

of such agency that the agency’s participation in such Pilot— 

(1) will not result in denying or restricting the eligibility 

of any individual for any of the services that (in whole or 

in part) are funded by the agency’s programs and Federal 

discretionary funds that are involved in the Pilot, and 

(2) based on the best available information, will not otherwise adversely affect vulnerable populations that are the recipients of such services. 

In making this determination, the head of the agency may take 

into consideration the other Federal discretionary funds that will 

be used in the Pilot as well as any non-Federal funds (including 

from private sources as well as governmental sources) that will 

be used in the Pilot. 

(e) TRANSFER AUTHORITY.—For the purpose of carrying out 

the Pilot in accordance with the Performance Partnership Agreement, and subject to the written approval of the Director of the 


kgrant on DSKB33CYQ1 with PUBLAW
128 STAT. 416 PUBLIC LAW 113–76—JAN. 17, 2014 

Office of Management and Budget, the head of each participating 

Federal agency may transfer Federal discretionary funds that are 

being used in the Pilot to an account of the lead Federal administering agency that includes Federal discretionary funds that are 

being used in the Pilot. Subject to the waiver authority under 

subsection (f), such transferred funds shall remain available for 

the same purposes for which such funds were originally appropriated: Provided, That such transferred funds shall remain available for obligation by the Federal Government until the expiration 

of the period of availability for those Federal discretionary funds 

(which are being used in the Pilot) that have the longest period 

of availability, except that any such transferred funds shall not 

remain available beyond September 30, 2018. 

(f) WAIVER AUTHORITY.—In connection with a Federal agency’s 

participation in a Performance Partnership Pilot, and subject to 

the other provisions of this section (including subsection (e)), the 

head of the Federal agency to which the Federal discretionary 

funds were appropriated may waive (in whole or in part) the application, solely to such discretionary funds that are being used in 

the Pilot, of any statutory, regulatory, or administrative requirement that such agency head— 

(1) is otherwise authorized to waive (in accordance with 

the terms and conditions of such other authority), and 

(2) is not otherwise authorized to waive, provided that 

in such case the agency head shall— 

(A) not waive any requirement related to nondiscrimination, wage and labor standards, or allocation 

of funds to State and substate levels; 

(B) issue a written determination, prior to granting 

the waiver, with respect to such discretionary funds that 

the granting of such waiver for purposes of the Pilot— 

(i) is consistent with both— 

(I) the statutory purposes of the Federal program for which such discretionary funds were 

appropriated, and 

(II) the other provisions of this section, 

including the written determination by the agency 

head issued under subsection (d); 

(ii) is necessary to achieve the outcomes of the 

Pilot as specified in the Performance Partnership 

Agreement, and is no broader in scope than is necessary to achieve such outcomes; and 

(iii) will result in either— 

(I) realizing efficiencies by simplifying 

reporting burdens or reducing administrative barriers with respect to such discretionary funds, or 

(II) increasing the ability of individuals to 

obtain access to services that are provided by such 

discretionary funds; and 

(C) provide at least 60 days advance written notice 

to the Committees on Appropriations and other committees 

of jurisdiction in the House of Representatives and the 

Senate.

or any other entity carrying out criminal investigations, prosecution,

(1) The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation (‘‘NRC’’) 

shall make grants to counseling intermediaries approved by 

the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 

(with match to be determined by the NRC based on affordability 

and the economic conditions of an area; a match also may 

be waived by the NRC based on the aforementioned conditions) 

to provide mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance primarily 

to States and areas with high rates of defaults and foreclosures 

to help eliminate the default and foreclosure of mortgages of 

owner-occupied single-family homes that are at risk of such 

foreclosure. Other than areas with high rates of defaults and 

foreclosures, grants may also be provided to approved counseling intermediaries based on a geographic analysis of the 

Nation by the NRC which determines where there is a prevalence of mortgages that are risky and likely to fail, including 

any trends for mortgages that are likely to default and face 

foreclosure. A State Housing Finance Agency may also be 

eligible where the State Housing Finance Agency meets all 

the requirements under this paragraph. A HUD-approved counseling intermediary shall meet certain mortgage foreclosure 

mitigation assistance counseling requirements, as determined 


kgrant on DSKB33CYQ1 with PUBLAW
PUBLIC LAW 113–76—JAN. 17, 2014 128 STAT. 639 

by the NRC, and shall be approved by HUD or the NRC 

as meeting these requirements. 

(2) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance shall only 

be made available to homeowners of owner-occupied homes 

with mortgages in default or in danger of default. These mortgages shall likely be subject to a foreclosure action and homeowners will be provided such assistance that shall consist of 

activities that are likely to prevent foreclosures and result 

in the long-term affordability of the mortgage retained pursuant 

to such activity or another positive outcome for the homeowner. 

No funds made available under this paragraph may be provided 

directly to lenders or homeowners to discharge outstanding 

mortgage balances or for any other direct debt reduction payments. 

(3) The use of mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance 

by approved counseling intermediaries and State Housing 

Finance Agencies shall involve a reasonable analysis of the 

borrower’s financial situation, an evaluation of the current 

value of the property that is subject to the mortgage, counseling 

regarding the assumption of the mortgage by another nonFederal party, counseling regarding the possible purchase of 

the mortgage by a non-Federal third party, counseling and 

advice of all likely restructuring and refinancing strategies 

or the approval of a work-out strategy by all interested parties. 

(4) NRC may provide up to 15 percent of the total funds 

under this paragraph to its own charter members with expertise 

in foreclosure prevention counseling, subject to a certification 

by the NRC that the procedures for selection do not consist 

of any procedures or activities that could be construed as an 

unacceptable conflict of interest or have the appearance of 

impropriety. 

(5) HUD-approved counseling entities and State Housing 

Finance Agencies receiving funds under this paragraph shall 

have demonstrated experience in successfully working with 

financial institutions as well as borrowers facing default, delinquency and foreclosure as well as documented counseling 

capacity, outreach capacity, past successful performance and 

positive outcomes with documented counseling plans (including 

post mortgage foreclosure mitigation counseling), loan workout 

agreements and loan modification agreements. NRC may use 

other criteria to demonstrate capacity in underserved areas. 

(6) Of the total amount made available under this paragraph, up to $3,000,000 may be made available to build the 

mortgage foreclosure and default mitigation counseling capacity 

of counseling intermediaries through NRC training courses with 

HUD-approved counseling intermediaries and their partners, 

except that private financial institutions that participate in 

NRC training shall pay market rates for such training. 

(7) Of the total amount made available under this paragraph, up to 5 percent may be used for associated administrative expenses for the NRC to carry out activities provided 

under this section. 

(8) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance grants may 

include a budget for outreach and advertising, and training, 

as determined by the NRC. 

(9) The NRC shall continue to report bi-annually to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations as well as
