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 January 

1, 2018 and ending on March 31, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

general information about this notice, 

contact Aaron Santa Anna, Assistant 

General Counsel for Regulations, 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development, 451 7th Street SW, Room 

10276, Washington, DC 20410–0500, 

telephone 202–708–3055 (this is not a 

toll-free number). Persons with hearingor speech-impairments may access this 

number through TTY by calling the tollfree Federal Relay Service at 800–877–

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 first quarter of 

calendar year 2018. 

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 

January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2018. 

For ease of reference, the waivers 

granted by HUD are listed by HUD 

program office (for example, the Office 

of Community Planning and 

Development, the Office of Fair Housing 

and Equal Opportunity, the Office of 

Housing, and the Office of Public and 

Indian Housing, etc.). Within each 

program office grouping, the waivers are 

listed sequentially by the regulatory 

section of title 24 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) that is being waived. 

For example, a waiver of a provision in 

24 CFR part 58 would be listed before 

a waiver of a provision in 24 CFR part 

570. 

Where more than one regulatory 

provision is involved in the grant of a 

particular waiver request, the action is 

listed under the section number of the 

first regulatory requirement that appears 

in 24 CFR and that is being waived. For 

example, a waiver of both § 58.73 and 

§ 58.74 would appear sequentially in the 

listing under § 58.73. 

Waiver of regulations that involve the 

same initial regulatory citation are in 

time sequence beginning with the 

earliest-dated regulatory waiver. 

Should HUD receive additional 

information about waivers granted 

during the period covered by this report 

(the first quarter of calendar year 2018) 

before the next report is published (the 

second quarter of calendar year 2018), 

HUD will include any additional 

waivers granted for the first 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: June 21, 2018. 

J. Paul Compton Jr., 

General Counsel.
