this document, contact the person 

whose name and address follow the 

description of the waiver granted in the 

accompanying list of waivers that have

calendar year 2006. 

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 

October 1, 2006, through December 31, 

2006. For ease of reference, the waivers 

granted by HUD are listed by HUD 

program office (for example, the Office 

of Community Panning 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 

(the fourth quarter of calendar year 

2006) before the next report is published 

(the first quarter of calendar year 2007), 

HUD will include any additional 

waivers granted for the fourth 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: March 23, 2007. 

Robert M. Couch, 

Acting General Counsel.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 92.500(d)(1)(B), 

42 U.S.C. 127481. 

Project/Activity: The City of Baton 

Rouge-Parish of East Baton Rouge, 

Louisiana, requested a waiver to 

facilitate its recovery from the 

devastation caused by Hurricanes 

Katrina and Rita. The City-Parish is 

located within a declared disaster area 

pursuant to Title IV of the Robert T. 

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act. The City-Parish 

requested this waiver in addition to the 

waivers granted by HUD on September 

14, 2005 (Hurricane Katrina) and 

October 4, 2005 (Hurricane Rita) for the 

designated disaster areas. The 

corresponding requirement in the 

Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable 

Housing Act (the Act) must be 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES3
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 62 / Monday, April 2, 2007 / Notices 15785 

suspended under the authority of 

section 290 of the Act. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

92.500(d)(1)(B) of HUD’s regulations (24 

CFR 92.500(d)(1)(b) requires that a 

participating jurisdiction commit its 

annual allocation of HOME funds 

within 24 months after HUD notifies the 

participating jurisdiction that HUD has 

executed the jurisdiction’s HOME 

Investment Partnership Agreement. 

Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, 

Assistant Secretary for Community 

Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: December 5, 2006. 

Reason Waived: It was determined 

that the recovery of the City of Baton 

Rouge-Parish of East Baton Rouge from 

the devastation caused by Hurricane 

Katrina and Hurricane Rita would be 

facilitated by waiving the FY 2004 

HOME commitment requirement. This 

waiver would ensure that needed 

HOME funds are not deobligated and 

that the City-Parish has sufficient time 

to complete the processing of its 

contract backlog.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 92.500(d)(1)(C). 

Project/Activity: The Jefferson Parish 

Consortium, Louisiana (Consortium), 

requested a waiver to facilitate its 

recovery from the devastation caused by 

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The 

Consortium is located within a declared 

disaster area pursuant to Title IV of the 

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 

Emergency Assistance Act. The 

Consortium requested this waiver in 

addition to the waivers granted by HUD 

on September 14, 2005 (Hurricane 

Katrina) and October 4, 2005 (Hurricane 

Rita) for the designated disaster areas. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

92.500(d)(1)(C) of HUD’s regulations (24 

CFR 92.500(d)(1)(C)) requires that a 

participating jurisdiction expend its 

annual allocation of HOME funds 

within five years after HUD notifies the 

participating jurisdiction that HUD has 

executed the jurisdiction’s HOME 

Investment Partnership Agreement. 

Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, 

Assistant Secretary for Community 

Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: December 5, 2006. 

Reasons Waived: It was determined 

that recovery of the Consortium from 

the devastation caused by Hurricane 

Katrina and Hurricane Rita would be 

facilitated by granting a waiver of the 

FY 2001 HOME expenditure 

requirement. The waiver would ensure 

that needed HOME funds are not 

deobligated, and that the Consortium 

had sufficient time to rebuild its 

capacity and housing delivery systems. 

HUD did not grant a waiver of the FY 

2002 HOME expenditure requirement at 

this time. Before considering additional 

waivers, HUD required assurances that 

the Consortium is acting expeditiously, 

and has completed a conditions 

inventory of its HOME-assisted 

properties.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 576.21(b), 42 

U.S.C. 11374(a)(2)(B). 

Project/Activity: The city of Miami, 

Florida, requested a waiver of the 

Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) 

program statutory provision at 42 U.S.C. 

11374(a)(2)(B) and regulation at 24 CFR 

576.21(b). 

Nature of Requirement: The 

McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance 

Act (42 U.S.C. 11374(a)(2)(B)) provides 

that no more than 30 percent of a 

recipient’s grant may be used for 

essential services. This is requirement is 

found at 24 CFR 576.21(b). The Act 

further provides a statutory waiver (42 

U.S.C. 11374(b)) of the 30 percent 

limitation, if the Secretary finds that a 

recipient ‘‘demonstrates that the other 

eligible activities under the program are 

already being carried out in the locality 

with other resources.’’ This waiver 

authority is found at 24 CFR 576.21(c). 

A variety of services addressing 

homeless needs are eligible essential 

services, including those concerned 

with employment, health, drug abuse 

and education. 

Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, 

Assistant Secretary for Community 

Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: December 5, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The city of Miami 

met the statutory standard for waiving 

the 30 percent limitation on essential 

services. The city of Miami provided a 

letter that demonstrated that other 

categories of ESG activities would be 

carried out locally with other resources. 

Therefore, it was determined that the 

waiver was appropriate.

II. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the 

Office of Housing-Federal Housing 

Administration (FHA) 

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 203.43f(c)(i) and 

24 CFR 203.43f(d)(ii). 

Project/Activity: State of Louisiana. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD 

regulations at 24 CFR 203.43f(c)(i) 

require that manufactured homes which 

have not been permanently sited for 

more than one year prior to the date of 

application for mortgage insurance must 

have the finished grade beneath the 

manufactured home at or above the 100- 

year return frequency flood elevation. 

Section 203.43f(d)(ii) of the regulations 

provides that manufactured homes 

which have been permanently erected 

on a site for more than one year prior 

to the date of application for mortgage 

insurance must have the finished grade 

level beneath the manufactured home at 

or above the 100-year return frequency 

flood elevation. 

Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: October 12, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The waiver allowed 

manufactured homes, located in the 

State of Louisiana, to be installed in 

accordance to the requirements for the 

National Flood Insurance Program 

(NIFP) found at 44 CFR 60.3. Thus, the 

waiver permitted the placement of FHA 

mortgage insurance on manufactured 

homes in the State of Louisiana, in flood 

designated areas, with the lowest floor 

at or above the 100-year frequency, and 

otherwise conforming with HUD 

requirements for Title II financing of 

manufactured homes.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b). 

Project/Activity: Asbury Park, New 

Jersey (Asbury Towers, FHA Project 

Number 031–016NI). The Philadelphia 

Multifamily Hub requested waiver of 

this regulation to permit an extension of 

maturity date for the Flexible Subsidy 

Loan. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulations at 24 CFR 219.220(b) 

governs the repayment of assistance 

provided under the Flexible Subsidy 

Program for Troubled Projects, and 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES3
15786 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 62 / Monday, April 2, 2007 / Notices 

states in part: ‘‘Assistance that has been 

paid to a project owner under this 

subpart must be repaid at the earlier of 

the expiration of the term of the 

mortgage, termination of mortgage 

insurance, prepayment of the mortgage, 

or a sale of the project.’’ Either action 

would typically terminate FHA 

involvement with the property and the 

Flexible Subsidy Loan would be repaid 

at that time. 

Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: December 15, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted to allow the project to continue 

to be maintained as a Section 236 

housing resource. Pursuant to the 

waiver, the requirement for repayment 

of the Flexible Subsidy Loan at the 

prepayment of the non-insured Section 

236 mortgage was waived to allow the 

Flexible Subsidy Loan, plus accrued 

interest, to be extended until the 

expiration of the decoupling Use 

Agreement. Payments would accrue 

until the expiration date of the 

Decoupling Use Agreement, November 

1, 2025. All surplus cash realized at the 

end of any fiscal year must be applied 

to the Flexible Subsidy Loan debt.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 236.725. 

Project/Activity: New Brunswick, 

New Jersey (Halls Corner Apartments—

FHA Project Number: 031–078NI). The 

Philadelphia Multifamily Hub requested 

waiver of this regulation to permit the 

continuation of Rental Assistance 

Payments after the payoff of the original 

non-insured Section 236 mortgage 

under a Section 236(e)(2) Decoupling 

transaction. 

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulations in 24 CFR 236.725 require 

that ‘‘the rental assistance contract shall 

be limited 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: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: December 14, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted to allow Halls Corner 

Apartments to be maintained as an 

affordable housing resource to the 

maturity date of the non-insured Section 

236 mortgage plus an additional 5 years. 

The project is a 154-unit high-rise 

complex occupied by senior residents, 

which provides 65 rental assistance 

payments assisted units. The project is 

being processed under the Section 236 

Decoupling program wherein the project 

may refinance its Section 236 noninsured mortgage and continue to 

receive the Section 236 Interest 

Reduction Payment (IRP) subsidy 

predicated on the project entering into 

a recorded Use Agreement that will 

restrict it to be operated under the 

Section 236 program requirements until 

the maturity date of the original noninsured Section 236 mortgage, plus an 

additional 5 years. By regulation, the 

Rental Assistance Payment (RAP) 

subsidy would generally terminate upon 

the prepayment of the non-insured 

Section 236 mortgage. The waiver was 

predicated on the fact that the 

Decoupling proposal did not request an 

increase in the Section 236 units, hence 

the RAP subsidy is not being increased 

based on this transaction.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 290.30(a). 

Project/Activity: Bronx, New York 

(Parkview Apartments—FHA Project 

Nos. 012–57029V and 57029W). The 

New York Multifamily Hub requested 

prepayment approval for two HUD-held 

mortgages and assignment of the 

mortgages to a new mortgagee. 

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulations in 24 CFR Part 290, subpart 

B require that HUD-held multifamily 

mortgages be sold on a competitive 

basis, except for certain ‘‘negotiated’’

sales to state or local governments. 

Section 290.30(a) of those regulations 

(24 CFR 290.30(a)) state that ‘‘[e]xcept as 

otherwise provided in Section 

290.31(a)(2), HUD will sell HUD-held 

multifamily mortgages on a competitive 

basis.’’ Section 290.31(a)(2) permits 

‘‘negotiated’’ sales to state or local 

governments for mortgage loans that are 

current and secured by subsidized 

projects, provided such loans are sold 

with FHA insurance. 

Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: December 14, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted to allow a non-competitive sale 

to New York Community Bank. The 

owner, in lieu of paying off the 

mortgages directly, requested that the 

HUD loans secured by the project be 

assigned to New York Community Bank 

for mortgage tax savings purposes. New 

York Community Bank agreed to these 

assignments and to pay the full amount 

of the HUD loans.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c). 

Project/Activity: Pittsburgh, New 

Hampshire (Echo Valley Village—FHA 

Project Number 024–EE040). The Boston 

Multifamily Hub requested waiver of 

the very low-income and age 

requirements for five units at this 

property due to severe vacancy 

problems. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD 

regulations at 24 CFR part 891 require 

admission of families to projects for the 

elderly or handicapped that receive 

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 (i.e., households 

composed of one or more persons at 

least one of whom is 62 years of age at 

the time of initial occupancy). 

Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: October 4, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted in order to allow the owner 

flexibility in renting up vacant units at 

the project. The property was only able 

to achieve 100 percent occupancy 

during September 2004 through 

December 2004. The property received 

applications, but the applicants did not 

meet the age and/or income 

requirements. The property manager 

continued to work closely with 

community organizations, as well as 

advertise through various media outlets 

to attract very low-income and age 

eligible applicants. This waiver only 

permits admission of near elderly and/ 

or lower-income applicants when there 

are no very low-income or age eligible 

applicants to fill vacancies. Without this 

waiver the current occupancy level 

would not support the operations of the 

project. This waiver is good for one year 

and applies to this property only.

property because of current vacancy 

problems.

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: October 31, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted to allow the owner/managing 

agent flexibility in renting up vacant 

units. At the time of the waiver request, 

the project had 13 occupied and 9 

vacant units with no waiting list. An age 

waiver allowed the project to operate 

successfully and achieve full occupancy 

by permitting admission of applicants 

who meet the definition of very lowincome and are 55 years of age and 

older when there are no very lowincome elderly applicants available. 

This waiver is good for one year and 

applies to this project only.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c). 

Project/Activity: Waukesha, 

Wisconsin (Sunset Heights—FHA 

Project Number 075–EE036). The 

Milwaukee Multifamily Hub requested a 

one-year waiver of the age and income 

requirements for this property to help 

alleviate the current occupancy 

problem. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD 

regulations at 24 CFR part 891 require 

admission of families to projects for the 

elderly or handicapped that receive 

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 (i.e., households 

composed of one or more persons at 

least one of whom is 62 years of age at 

the time of initial occupancy.) 

Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: October 31, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted to permit admission of lowerincome elderly applicants (income 

between 51 and 80 percent of median), 

when there are no very low-income 

elderly applicants to fill vacant units. 

The property’s management agent

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c). 

Project/Activity: Leachville, Arkansas 

(Mature Living of Leachville, FHA 

Project Number 082–EE013). The Fort 

Worth Multifamily Hub requested an 

age restriction waiver for this Section 

202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly 

project because of current vacancy 

problems. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD 

regulations at 24 CFR part 891 require 

admission of families to projects for the 

elderly or handicapped that receive 

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 (i.e., households 

composed of one or more persons at 

least one of whom is 62 years of age at 

the time of initial occupancy). 

Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner 

Date Granted: November 1, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted based on the current occupancy 

problems. At the time of the waiver 

request, the property experienced a 40 

percent vacancy factor over the past four 

months and an overall 38 percent 

vacancy factor over the past six months 

and had 6 vacant units. The 

management agent exercised acceptable 

marketing efforts but due to insufficient 

market demand, the project experienced 

difficulty. Waiver of the regulations 

allowed the owner to admit applicants 

who at initial occupancy failed to meet 

the statutory age limit of 62 years of age 

or older and stabilize the project’s 

current financial status and prevent 

foreclosure. The waiver is good for one 

year and applies to this property only.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c). 

Project/Activity: Somerset, Kentucky 

(Westbrooke Apartments—FHA Project 

Number 083–EE017). The Atlanta 

Multifamily Hub requested waiver of 

the very low-income limit and reduction 

of the age limit for this property to assist 

in renting up vacant units. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD 

regulations at 24 CFR part 891 require 

admission of families to projects for the 

elderly or handicapped that receive 

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 (i.e., households 

composed of one or more persons at 

least one of whom is 62 years of age at 

the time of initial occupancy). 

Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: November 1, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted based on the management 

agent’s struggles to fill vacant units. The 

vacancy was attributable to an 

insufficient number of eligible 

applicants within Pulaski County. Also, 

several residents relocated to a newly 

constructed 24-unit tax credit property, 

which offers more amenities making it 

difficult to attract very low-income 

elderly persons. Waiver of this 

regulation allowed flexibility to offer 

units to individuals who meet the 

definition of lower income, near elderly 

and thus, the owner would be able to 

increase occupancy levels and 

successfully achieve full occupancy at 

the property. This waiver is good for 

one year and applies to this property 

only.

Project/Activity: Parker, Pennsylvania 

(Parker Heights Apartments—FHA 

Project Number 033–EE109). The 

Pittsburgh Multifamily Program Center 

requested waiver of the age and income 

requirements for this property to 

alleviate the current occupancy 

problem. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD 

regulations at 24 CFR part 891 require 

admission of families to projects for the 

elderly or handicapped that receive 

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 (i.e., households 

composed of one or more persons at 

least one of whom is 62 years of age at 

the time of initial occupancy.) 

Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: December 15, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted because the project experienced 

difficulty in leasing units to the elderly. 

Providing for waiver of the age and 

very-low income requirements allowed 

the owner additional flexibility in 

attempting to rent vacant units and 

perhaps start a waiting list. The owner/ 

management of this property was 

allowed to rent units to those persons 

who are at low-income limits between 

51 and 80 percent of median income, 

and to those persons who are nearelderly, between the ages of 55 and 62. 

This waiver is good for one year and 

applies to this property only.

Project/Activity: Kent Gardens Senior 

Community, San Lorenzo, CA, Project 

Number: 121–EE172/CA39-S041–003. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

891.830(b) requires that capital advance 

funds be drawn down only in an 

approved ratio to other funds in 

accordance with a drawdown schedule 

approved by HUD. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: December 14, 2006. 

Reason Waived: In order to not delay 

the construction of this mixed finance 

project, the waiver permitted the capital 

advance funds to be drawn down using 

a different mechanism, as approved by 

HUD, than a pro rata basis. However, 

the capital advance funds were not 

permitted to be drawn down any faster 

than a pro rata disbursement basis 

would have permitted.

advance funds from paying off bridge or

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 62 / Monday, April 2, 2007 / Notices 15795 

Date Granted: December 14, 2006. 

Reason Waived: Since this is a mixed 

finance project, the waiver permitted 

capital advance funds to be used to pay 

off that portion of a bridge or 

construction financing that strictly 

relates to capital advance eligible costs. 

Such costs are to be documented in the 

owner’s audited cost certification and 

approved by the Program Center as 

capital advance eligible.

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 902.20, 902.30, 

902.40, 902.50 and 24 CFR part 985. 

Project/Activity: Dallas Housing 

Authority (TX009), Dallas, TX. 

Nature of Requirement: The objective 

of 24 CFR 902.20 is to determine 

whether a housing authority (HA) is 

meeting the standard of decent, safe, 

sanitary, and in good repair. HUD’s Real 

Estate Assessment Center (REAC) 

provides for an independent physical 

inspection of a HA’s property of 

properties that includes a statistically 

valid sample of the units. Additionally, 

the regulation establishes certain 

reporting compliance dates; namely, the 

Audited financial statements are 

required to be submitted no later than 

nine months after the HA’s Fiscal Year 

End (FYE), in accordance with the 

Single Audit Act and OMB Circular 

A–133 (24 CFR 902.30), and the 

Management operations certifications 

are required to be submitted within two 

months after the HA’s FYE (24 CFR 

902.40). The Resident Service and 

Satisfaction Indicator is performed 

through the use of a survey. The HA is 

responsible for completing 

implementation plan activities and 

developing a follow-up plan (24 CFR 

902.50). 

The objective of 24 CFR part 985 is to 

assist eligible families afford decent 

rental units at the correct subsidy cost, 

and to measure HA performance in 

seven key Section 8 performance 

indicators under the Section 8 

Management Assessment Program 

(SEMAP) through annual certification. 

Granted By: Orlando J. Cabrera, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: October 27, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The Dallas Housing 

Authority assisted thousands of 

displaced families that were evacuated 

from the Gulf Coast region due to 

Hurricane Katrina. The HA rapidly 

mobilized its staff and provided housing 

referral services at two convention 

centers, coordinated resources of 

neighboring public housing agencies 

and provided a central processing 

facility at its administrative offices for 

volunteer organizations that provided 

temporary shelter, food and 

transportations for evacuees. The HA 

also matched vacant public housing 

units with families in need of housing. 

Consequently, the unexpected hurricane 

disaster diverted a significant portion of 

staff efforts from complying with the 

Public Housing Assessment System 

(PHAS) requirements. The HA requested 

and received approval waiving all PHAS 

indicators and overall PHAS score 

under 24 CFR part 902, and all the 

SEMAP indicators under 24 CFR part 

985, for fiscal year ending December 31, 

2006.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.30. 

Project/Activity: Dallas Housing 

Authority (TX009), Dallas, TX. 

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulation establishes certain reporting 

compliance dates. The audited financial 

statements are required to be submitted 

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: Orlando J. Cabrera, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: November 28, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver for the removal of the Late 

Presumptive Failure (LPF) score of zero 

for the audited Financial Assessment 

Subsystem (FASS) indicator whose 

submission due date of September 30, 

2006, was extended to October 9, 2006 

for FYE December 30, 2005. The HA’s 

key financial staff was unable to 

properly prepare for the fiscal year audit 

due to extensive and unplanned work 

with the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA). The HA 

was involved with FEMA in providing 

housing in the Dallas area in the 

aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and 

Rita. The financial staff was diverted 

from their regular responsibilities to set 

up financial systems to properly 

account for FEMA activities. The waiver 

granted an extension of the FASS 

requirements for FYE December 31, 

2005, the removal of the LPF score of 

zero under the FASS indicator, and the 

submission of the audited financial data 

and generation of a new PHAS score.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.30. 

Project/Activity: Ingram County 

Housing Commission (MI168), Okemos, 

MI. 

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulation establishes certain reporting 

compliance dates. The audited financial 

statements are required to be submitted 

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: Orlando J. Cabrera, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: November 29, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the Late Presumptive Failure 

(LPF) score of zero of the audited 

financial score under the Financial 

Assessment Subsystem (FASS) indicator 

for FYE September 30, 2005. Due to its 

designation as a Small Public Housing 

Agency, the HA will not receive a 

Public Housing Assessment System 

(PHAS) score. The HA, however, was 

required to submit its audited financial 

submission due June 30, 2006. The HA 

originally submitted the audited data on 

June 8, 2006 and the Real Estate 

Assessment Center (REAC) rejected the 

submission on July 3, 2006 and 

established a new resubmission date of 

July 18, 2006. The HA’s submission was 

not submitted timely, because the HA’s 

auditor was on leave. The HA’s 

Executive Director did everything in his 

capacity to remind and follow-up with 

the auditor on the resubmission of the 

rejected audited financial data. The 

reasons the resubmission was not timely 

completed were due to circumstances 

beyond the HA’s control. The waiver 

allowed the HA to resubmit its audited 

financial data.

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulation establishes certain reporting 

compliance dates. The audited financial 

statements are required to be submitted 

no later than nine months after the

Granted By: Orlando J. Cabrera, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: December 14, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested 

reconsideration of the decision denying 

the HA’s initial appeal because the HA 

did not provide evidence that an 

objectively and material error occurred 

that resulted in the HA receiving a 

designation of Substandard Financial 

Performer for fiscal year ending (FYE) 

September 30, 2005 under the Financial 

Assessment Subsystem (FASS) 

indicator. The HA contended that its 

FASS score is not a true reflection of the 

HA’s financial status because the HA 

did not receive permanent financing on 

construction loan for a 46-unit 

independent low-income living facility 

that was classified as current debt until 

the new fiscal year. The waiver granted 

the removal of the Substandard 

Financial Public Housing Assessment 

System (PHAS) designation and 

designation of the HA as a Standard 

Performer

Granted By: Orlando J. Cabrera,

Date Granted: December 4, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver for the removal of the Late 

Presumptive Failure (LPF) score of zero 

for the audited Financial Assessment 

Subsystem (FASS) indicator whose 

submission due date of September 30, 

2006, was extended to October 9, 2006 

for FYE December 30, 2005. On October 

6, 2006, the HA’s auditor informed the 

HA that the financial audited 

submission was in the second step of a 

three step process but due to HA/ 

auditor miscommunication, the third 

step in the electronic submission 

process was not performed. The waiver 

granted the HA the removal of the LPF 

score of zero under the FASS indicator, 

and the submission of the audited 

financial data and generation of a new 

Public Housing Assessment System 

(PHAS) score.

Project/Activity: Charlotte Housing 

Authority’s Waiver for 940 Brevard 

Senior Apartments for the Piedmont 

Courts HOPE VI Project: 

NC19URD003I103. 

Nature of Requirement: The provision 

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, it 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: Orlando J. Cabrera, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: October 6, 2006. 

Reason Waived: This waiver was 

requested by the Charlotte Housing 

Authority (CHA), so Crosland 

Contractors may serve as the general 

contractor for construction of 940 

Brevard Senior Apartments, an off-site 

component of the Piedmont Courts 

HOPE VI project. CHA submitted an 

independent cost estimate prepared by 

Construction Cost, Inc. for 940 Brevard 

Senior Apartments, which totaled 

$10,330,172. CHA also submitted the 

construction contract between Crosland 

and Crosland Contractors, which totaled 

$8,947,378 for construction of 940 

Brevard Senior Apartments. As 

Crosland Contractor’s cost was below 

that of the independent cost estimates, 

HUD’s condition was satisfied and the 

waiver was granted.

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of 

DeKalb County’s Waiver for Johnson 

Ferry East, Phase 1 Mixed Finance 

Project. 

Nature of Requirement: The provision 

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, it may 

award itself the construction contract 

only if it can demonstrate to HUD’s

submitted in response to a public 

request for bids. 

Granted By: Orlando J. Cabrera, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: October 6, 2006. 

Reason Waived: This waiver was 

requested by the Housing Authority of 

DeKalb County (HADC) for the 

redevelopment of the Johnson Ferry East 

public housing site, so Norsouth 

Construction Corporation may serve as 

the general contractor. HADC procured 

Ashford Developers, LLC as the master 

developer for the Johnson Ferry East site 

through a competitive Request for 

Qualifications (‘‘RFQ’’). Ashford 

Developers, of which the Norsouth 

Corporation is the majority owner, 

sought to utilize Norsouth Construction 

Corporation (‘‘Norsouth Construction’’), 

a related entity of Norsouth Corporation, 

to serve as general contractor for Phase 

1. Ashford Developers identified 

Norsouth Construction as its intended 

general contractor in its proposal that 

was submitted in response to the RFQ 

issued by HADC. HADC submitted an 

independent third-party cost estimate 

from Costing Services Group (‘‘CSG’’), 

which totaled $14,407,688, while 

Norsouth Construction’s totaled 

$11,287,041. As Norsouth 

Construction’s cost was below that of 

the independent cost estimates, HUD’s 

condition was satisfied and the waiver 

was granted.

Project/Activity: Greensboro Housing 

Authority’s Waiver for the Havens at 

Willow Oaks, a mixed-finance 

development in conjunction with 

Morningside HOPE VI Project: 

NC19URD022I298. 

Nature of Requirement: The provision 

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, it 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: Orlando J. Cabrera, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: October 6, 2006. 

Reason Waived: This waiver was 

requested by the Greensboro Housing 

Authority (GHA), so that Crosland 

Contractors, an affiliate of Crosland, 

Inc., may serve as general contractor for 

development of this project. GHA 

procured Mid-City Urban, as the Master 

Developer for the revitalization of 

Morningside Homes. For this phase, 

Mid-City selected Crosland, Inc. as the 

developer for the Havens. GHA 

submitted an independent cost estimate 

from Bowen and Associates (Bowen), 

which totaled $8,886,896. The 

guaranteed maximum price bid offered 

by Crosland Contractors was $7,237,195. 

As Crosland Contractor’s cost was below 

that of the independent cost estimates, 

HUD’s condition was satisfied and the 

waiver was granted.

Project/Activity: Charlotte Housing 

Authority’s Waiver for Springfield 

Gardens Dalton Village HOPE VI 

Project: NC19URD003I196. 

Nature of Requirement: The provision 

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, it 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: Orlando J. Cabrera, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: October 6, 2006. 

Reason Waived: This waiver was 

requested by the Charlotte Housing 

Authority’s (CHA), so that Crosland 

Contractors may serve as the general 

contractor for construction of 

Springfield Gardens, an off-site 

component of the Dalton Village HOPE 

VI project. Crosland, Inc. is the master 

developer for the Dalton Village HOPE 

VI site. Crosland, Inc. is also the 

component developer for the 

Springfield Gardens phase of the HOPE 

VI project. Crosland Contractors, an 

affiliate of Crosland, Inc., sought to 

serve as the general contractor for 

construction of the project. CHA 

submitted an independent cost estimate 

prepared by Construction Cost, Inc. for 

Springfield Gardens, which totaled 

$9,954,241. CHA also submitted the 

construction contract between Crosland 

and Crosland Contractors, which totaled 

$7,691,195 for construction of 

Springfield Gardens. As Crosland 

Contractor’s cost was below that of the 

independent cost estimates, HUD’s 

condition was satisfied and the waiver 

was granted.

941.606(n)(l)(ii)(B). 

Project/Activity: San Antonio Housing 

Authority’s (SAHA) Alhambra 

Apartments. Mixed Finance Project 

Number: TX006–146. 

Nature of Requirement: The provision 

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, it 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: Orlando J. Cabrera, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: December 18, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The San Antonio 

Housing Authority (SAHA) procured 

NRP Group, LLC as the master 

developer for the Alhambra Apartments 

site through a competitive Request for 

Proposal (RFP). NRP, LLC was 

identified in the response to the RFP as 

the intended general contractor. NRP 

Construction did not bid to become the 

general contractor, as specified by this 

provision of the mixed-finance 

regulation, but SAHA provided 

documentation that the construction 

costs were reasonable and within HUD’s 

requirements. SAHA submitted with the 

waiver request a certification by Wiles 

Associates (Wiles), an independent 

third-party cost estimator, who 

reviewed the full plans and the 

proposed construction costs. In a letter 

dated September 5, 2006, Wiles certified 

the costs were reasonable for the market 

area. HUD reviewed the Rental Term 

Sheet, the mixed-finance proposal, the 

project evidentiaries, and related 

budgets and determined that the 

construction costs for this project were 

reasonable and below the independent 

cost estimates submitted by the SAHA. 

The Wiles construction cost estimate is 

$61.73 per square foot, while NRP 

Construction’s total price is $59.57 per 

square foot. This amount was below the 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES3
15798 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 62 / Monday, April 2, 2007 / Notices 

Wiles estimate by $2.16 a square foot. 

As NRP Construction’s cost was below 

that of the independent cost estimates, 

HUD’s condition was satisfied and the 

waiver was granted.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(d). 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of 

the City of Flagstaff (HACF), Flagstaff, 

AZ. The HACF requested a waiver 

regarding exception payment standards 

so that it could provide a reasonable 

accommodation to a person with 

disabilities. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

982.505(d) states that a public housing 

agency may only approve a higher 

payment standard for a family as a 

reasonable accommodation if the higher 

payment standard is within the basic 

range of 90 to 110 percent of the fair 

market rent (FMR) for the unit size. 

Granted By: Orlando J. Cabrera, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: October 12, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The new tenant, who 

has multiple sensitivities and 

disabilities, required an unattached 

single dwelling home on a private lot to 

accommodate her disabilities. To 

provide a reasonable accommodation, 

an exception payment standard that 

exceeded the basic range of 90 to 110 

percent of the fair market rent was 

approved.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(d). 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of 

the City of Los Angeles (HACLA), Los 

Angeles, CA. The HACLA requested a 

waiver regarding exception payment 

standards so that it could provide a 

reasonable accommodation to a person 

with disabilities. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

982.505(d) states that a public housing 

agency may only approve a higher 

payment standard for a family as a 

reasonable accommodation if the higher 

payment standard is within the basic 

range of 90 to 110 percent of the fair 

market rent (FMR) for the unit size. 

Granted by: Orlando J. Cabrera, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: December 6, 2006. 

Reason Waived: The assisted client, 

who is developmentally disabled and 

requires a live-in aide, had extreme 

difficulty locating another unit that met 

his needs. The client’s family searched 

extensively for another suitable unit to 

no avail. Without an exception payment 

standard, the client’s rent burden would 

be over 100 percent of his monthlyadjusted income. To provide a 

reasonable accommodation, an 

exception payment standard that 

exceeded the basic range of 90 to 110 

percent of the fair market rent was 

approved.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.207(b)(3). 

Project/Activity: Berkeley Housing 

Authority (BHA), Berkeley, CA. The 

BHA requested a waiver of a selection 

preference regulation in order to select 

Housing Opportunities for Persons with 

AIDS (HOPWA)-eligible families to 

occupy 10 of the units receiving projectbased voucher assistance at the 97-unit 

Oxford Plaza project. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

982.207(b)(3) which governs tenant 

selection under the project-based 

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 persons with a 

specific disability. 

Granted By: Orlando J. Cabrera, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: December 21, 2006. 

Reason Waived: 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 project-based voucher assistance 

by persons with HIV/AIDS. Therefore, 

in selecting families to refer to the 

owner for occupancy of these units, the 

BHA will have to pass over persons on 

its waiting list until it reaches a person 

with HIV/AIDS who is interested in 

moving into one of these units at the 

Oxford Plaza project.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 983.55(b). 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of 

Americus (HAA), Americus, GA. The 

HAA requested a waiver of this 

regulation so that it could attach PBV to 

units at Verandah Apartments. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

983.55(b) states that the appropriate 

subsidy layering review be completed 

prior to the execution of an agreement 

to enter into a housing assistance 

payments contract (AHAP). 

Granted By: Orlando Cabrera, 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: November 3, 2006. 

Reason Waived: This regulation was 

waived since the HAA thought it had 

met the regulatory requirement for a 

subsidy layering review since the 

Georgia Department of Community 

Affairs completed one for this project in 

connection with Home funding and tax 

credit funding. The HAA subsequently 

submitted this project to HUD 

Headquarters for the appropriate 

subsidy layering review on April 4, 

2006.
