Calendar Year 2000

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION: Public Notice of the Granting of

Regulatory Waivers from April 1, 2000

through June 30, 2000.

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 must cover the

quarterly period since the most recent

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 quarter beginning on April 1,

2000 and ending on June 30, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

general information about this notice,

(this is not a toll-free number). Hearing

or speech-impaired persons may access

this number via TTY by calling the tollfree Federal Information Relay Service

at 1–800–877–8391.

For information concerning a

particular waiver action 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 waiver-grant

actions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of

the Housing and Urban Development

Reform Act of 1989 (the ‘‘HUD Reform

Act’’), the Congress adopted, at HUD’s

request, legislation to limit and control

the granting of regulatory waivers by

HUD. Section 106 of the HUD Reform

Act added a new section 7(q) to the

Department of Housing and Urban

Development Act (2 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 rank 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;

e. State how additional information

about a particular waiver grant action

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.

Today’s document follows

publication of HUD’s Statement of

Policy on Waiver of Regulations and

Directives issued by HUD on April 22,

1991 (56 FR 16337). This notice covers

HUD’s waiver-grant activity from April

1, 2000 through June 30, 2000.

Additionally, this notice contains five

reports on regulatory waivers granted

during 1999, which were inadvertently

omitted in the 1999 reports. Two reports

can be found in Section II of this notice

with respect to waivers granted in

connection with 24 CFR 50.17 and

1000.20(a). The third can be found in

Section V with respect to a waiver

granted in connection with 24 CFR

968.112, and the fourth and fifth also

can be found in Section V with respect

to a waiver granted in connection with

24 CFR 1000.156.

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 Housing, the

Office of Public and Indian Housing,

etc.). Within each program office

grouping, the waivers are listed

sequentially by the section of title 24

being waived. For example, a waivergrant action involving the waiver of a

provision in 24 CFR part 58 would come

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 in title 24

that is being waived as part of the

waiver-grant action. For example, a

waiver of both § 58.73 and § 58.74

would appear sequentially in the listing

under § 58.73.

Waiver-grant actions involving the

same initial regulatory citation are in

time sequence beginning with the

earliest-dated waiver grant action.

Should HUD receive additional

reports of waiver actions taken during

the period covered by this report before

the next report is published, the next

updated report will include these earlier

actions, as well as those that occurred

between July 1, 2000 through September

30, 2000.

Accordingly, information about

approved waiver requests pertaining to

HUD regulations is provided in the

Appendix that follows this notice.

Dated: October 25, 2000.

waiver actions, please see the name of the

contact person which immediately follows

the description of the waiver granted.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 58.34(b) and 24 CFR

58.38.

Project/Activity: Rehabilitation of housing

owned by the Sac & Fox of Oklahoma Tribe

and Housing Authority using Comprehensive

Grant Program funding.

Nature of Requirement: Section 58.34(b)

requires, when a grant recipient makes a

determination that an activity or project is

exempt from environmental review

requirements, such determination must be

documented in writing. Section 58.38

requires a recipient to maintain a written

record of the environmental review

undertaken for each activity or project.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development.

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 213 / Thursday, November 2, 2000 / Notices 66139

Date Granted: February 2, 2000.

Reason Waived: The recipient failed to

prepare a complete Environmental Review

Record (ERR) as required under § 58.38 prior

to obligating Federal grant funds to the

activity. HUD reviewed the activities and

determined they met the requirements for a

determination of categorical exclusion under

§ 58.35(a)(3) and subsequent determination of

exemption based on § 58.34(a)(12). HUD

further determined that no environmental

degradation resulted from the regulatory

noncompliance and that no mitigation

activities would have been necessary. A

complete ERR has been prepared by the

recipient. Based on the above, HUD

determined that a waiver of the regulatory

requirements would maintain the integrity of

HUD’s environmental review process and

was consistent with Executive Order 12084

which encourages flexibility in the

consideration of waiver requests from tribal

governments.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 58.40(f).

Project/Activity: Rehabilitation of

Cedarbrook multifamily housing. The City of

Hanford, CA, requested a waiver of 24 CFR

58.40(f).

Nature of Requirement: In preparing an

environmental assessment, the responsible

entity must complete all environmental

review requirements necessary for the

project’s compliance with applicable

authorities cited in 24 CFR 58.5 and 58.6,

which include Federal historic preservation

regulations in 36 CFR part 800. Completion

of an environmental assessment is required

before the responsible entity may request a

release of funds and the Department may

release funds for a covered project.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development.

Date Granted: June 14, 2000.

Reason Waived: The community housing

development organization (CHDO) finished

its construction of the project before the

responsible entity completed the historic

preservation review that constitutes part of

the environmental assessment. By so doing,

the CHDO precluded subsequent full

completion of the historic preservation

review because, in the opinion of the State

Historic Preservation Officer, any

archeological resources were likely destroyed

by the construction activities. However,

evidence showed that there were no records

of archeological resources on the site. The

waiver was granted in order to provide

funding to the completed project because this

would produce results consistent with and

further the purpose of the HOME Investment

Partnership Act and would provide much

needed housing to low and moderate income

persons of the Hanford, California area.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 91.520(a).

Project/Activity: The State of Montana

requested a two-month extension for

submitting its Consolidated Annual

Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at 24 CFR 91.520 requires grantees to submit

a CAPER within 90 calendar days after the

close of the jurisdiction’s program year.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development.

Date Granted: June 22, 2000.

Reasons Waived: The State advised that

key staff responsible for preparing the report

are taking new positions and the new staff

will need additional time to prepare the

document to ensure a complete and accurate

report.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 92.201(a)(2).

Project/Activity: San Mateo County

Consortium requested a waiver to permit the

County to assist those low-income residents

of Daly City whose homes have been

condemned as the result of unsafe conditions

caused by the erosion of the properties. There

are 22 properties involved.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at 24 CFR 92.201(a)(2) requires participating

jurisdiction may only invest its HOME funds

in eligible projects within its boundaries or

in joint projects within the boundaries of

contiguous local jurisdictions which serve

residents from both jurisdictions.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development.

Date Granted: May 4, 2000.

Reasons Waived: San Mateo County

Consortium provided justifications for its

request. Because of the high cost of homes

within San Mateo County (median price is

currently $405,000) it would be impossible

for low income residents, many of whom are

senior citizens, to find replacement housing

in the County.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 570.207(b)(3).

Project/Activity: The Village of Greenport,

NY requested a waiver of the provision

which prohibits the construction of new

housing.

Nature of Requirement: The CDBG

regulations at 24 CFR 570.207(b)(3) prohibits

new housing construction activities, subject

to the specific exceptions identified.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development.

Date Granted: April 4, 2000.

Reasons Waived: Increasing the level of

homeownership is a goal of HUD and the

Administration, and assisting low and

moderate income persons is the primary

objective of the CDBG program. Failure to

grant a waiver of this requirement would

adversely affect the purposes of the Act.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 576.21(b)(2).

Project/Activity: The State of New York

requested a waiver of the thirty percent

spending limitation on essential services.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at 24 CFR 576.21(b)(2) imposes the statutory

requirement that no more than thirty percent

of the Emergency Shelter Grant funds be

expended for essential services. This

regulatory section also notes that the statute

(42 U.S.C. 11374) also permits waiver of this

requirement if the grantee demonstrates that

other eligible activities are already being

carried out in the locality with other

resources.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development.

Date Granted: April 7, 2000.

Reasons Waived: The State documented

that there were other resources for eligible

activities and this waiver would allow

flexibility to shelter systems. The waiver

allowed the State to use up to 60 percent of

its Fiscal Year 2000 ESG funds for essential

services.

its Fiscal Year 1999 ESG funds for essential

services.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.310(d).

Project/Activity: The City of Denver,

Colorado requested a waiver of the resident

rent payment standard in the HOPWA

regulation in order to establish a limit on the

amount of assistance provided to the

beneficiary.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at 24 CFR 574.310(d) establishes the rent

payment standards for the HOPWA program

as rent, including utilities which is the

higher of 30 percent of the family’s monthly

monthly gross income, or if the family is

receiving payments for welfare assistance

from a public agency, the portion of the

payment that is designated.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Date Granted: May 24, 2000.

Reasons Waived: The City provided

documented information to support its need

shallow rent program. The waiver is limited

to the City’s Fiscal Year’s 1999 and 2000

formula grants and any formula grants issued

for Fiscal Year 2001 and Fiscal Year 2002.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.540.

Project/Activity: The City of Seattle,

Washington requested authorization to make

use of a limited amount of HOPWA formula

funds for a period of time that will exceed

the three year use period established by the

HOPWA regulations.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at 24 CFR 574.540 requires that HOPWA

funds be expended in a three year period.

HUD may deobligate any amount of grant

funds that have not been expended within a

three-year period from the date of the signing

of the grant agreement.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development.

Date Granted: June 9, 2000.

Reasons Waived: This waiver of the time

limits will assist the City in helping to

qualify persons living with HIV/AIDS and

their families for assistance in housing

developments projects that use the Low

Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) in

financing. HUD found that there is good

cause for this waiver since this will secure

housing for individuals and families with

HIV/AIDS. The amount of funds under this

waiver are limited to a portion of the City’s

annual Fiscal Year allocation, so that no

more than twenty percent, up to a maximum

of $250,000 in any one fiscal year allocation,

is committed to a tax credit project for up to

a fifteen year period, measured from the date

of the grant agreement for that allocation.

II. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office

of Community Planning and Development

and the Office of Public and Indian Housing

For further information about the following

waiver actions, please see the name of the

contact person which immediately follows

the description of the waiver granted.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 50.17 and 1000.20(a).

Project/Activity: The Lower Elwha Tribe

and its Housing Authority, Port Angeles, WA,

received a Traditional Indian Housing

Development grant to construct 5 low rent

homes.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at § 50.17 requires an environmental

assessment and finding of no significant

impact or an environmental impact statement

be completed before the applicable decision

points for projects not exempt or

categorically excluded from environmental

review requirements. HUD’s regulation at

§ 1000.20(a) requires an environmental

review be completed for any Native

American Housing Assistance and SelfDetermination Act project not excluded from

review before a recipient may acquire,

rehabilitate, convert, lease, repair or

construct property, or commit HUD or local

funds.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development, and Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: May 11, 1999.

Reason Waived: The Lower Elwha Tribe

made several errors during the environmental

review and clearance process required by 24

CFR part 58 that resulted in the Housing

Authority obligating and expending grant

funds for the project before HUD’s approval

of the Request for Release of Funds and

Certification, form HUD 7015.15. HUD made

a determination based upon these actions to

conduct an environmental review according

to 24 CFR part 50. A HUD environmental

review at this point would be after the

Annual Contributions Contract for this

project. Therefore, a waiver is necessary to

allow HUD to conduct the review and resolve

the issue. HUD also determined that no

environmental degradation resulted from the

regulatory noncompliance and that no

mitigation activities would be necessary

since no environmental damage or potential

problems were identified. Considering the

above, HUD determined that a waiver of the

regulatory requirements would maintain the

integrity of HUD’s environmental review

process and was consistent with Executive

Order 12084 that encourages flexibility in the

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 213 / Thursday, November 2, 2000 / Notices 66141

consideration of waiver requests from tribal

governments.

1000.20(a).

Project/Activity: The Lummi Tribe,

Bellingham, WA, received a Traditional

Indian Housing Development grant to

construct 5 Mutual Help homeownership

units.

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development, and Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: September 15, 1999 by Mr.

Cooper and July 30, 1999 by Mr. Lucas.

Reason Waived: The Lummi Tribe made

several errors during the environmental

review process required by 24 CFR part 58

that resulted in funds being obligated for the

project before HUD’s approval of the Request

• Regulation: 24 CFR 50.17 and 24 CFR

1000.20(a).

Project/Activity: Jamestown S’Klallam

Tribe, Sequim, WA, received grant funds for

the acquisition of 23.5 acres at two sites for

the development of low-income housing and

a community water and sewer system.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian

Housing for § 1000.20(a).

Date Granted: April 25, 2000 by Mr.

Cooper and May 5, 2000 by Mr. Lucas.

Reason Waived: The Jamestown S’Klallam

Tribe made several errors during the

noncompliance and that no mitigation

activities would be necessary since no

environmental damage or potential problems

were identified. Tribal staff has participated

in two HUD sponsored environmental

training sessions to obtain additional

background information and expertise in the

environmental review and clearance

requirements. Considering the above, HUD

determined that a waiver of the regulatory

requirements would maintain the integrity of

HUD’s environmental review process and

was consistent with Executive Order 12084

that encourages flexibility in the

consideration of waiver requests from tribal

governments.

III. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the

Office of Housing

For further information about the following

waiver actions, please see the name of the

contact person which immediately follows

the description of the waiver granted.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 202.3(c)(2)(iii).

Project/Activity: Credit Watch/Termination

Threshold.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at 24 CFR 202.3(c)(2)(iii) provides that the

Secretary may notify a mortgagee that it is on

credit watch status if the mortgagee had a

rate of defaults and claims on insured

mortgages originated in an area which

exceeded 150 percent, but not 200 percent,

of the normal rate.

Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: June 12, 2000.

Reason Waived: Waiving the regulation

permits HUD/FHA to initially focus on those

lenders originating the worst performing

loans. The waiver will adjust the Credit

Watch threshold from being between 150%

and 200.9% of the HUD field office default

and claim rate to being between 200% and

300.9% of that rate. This waiver is limited to

Credit Watch reviews conducted in the

second quarter of calendar year 2000.

Assurance Division, Department of Housing

and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street,

SW., Room B133–P3214, Washington, DC

20410–7000, telephone (202) 708–2830.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 203.49(c).

Project/Activity: Waiver of the

requirements of 24 CFR 203.49(c) to extend

the initial adjustment dates for adjustable

rate mortgage (ARM) loans beyond the 12 to

18 month window currently provided for in

the regulation.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at 24 CFR 203.49(c) provides that lenders

may extend the initial interest rate

adjustment dates on ARM loans thus

rendering the loans eligible for placement in

Ginnie Mae pools. Ineligibility of the loans

for delivery to Ginnie Mae would result in

financial hardship to the mortgagee and will

not have an adverse impact on any

mortgagors.

Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: May 19, 2000.

Reason Waived: Mortgagee, Corinthian

Mortgage Corporation of Mission, Kansas,

requested extensions of the initial change

date for two ARM loans beyond the 12–18

month window period as required by 24 CFR

203.49(c). Approving the waiver enabled the

lender to securitize the loans and rendered

no harm to the borrowers or the Department.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 206.19(d)(2) and 24

CFR 206.47(B).

Project/Activity: Waiver of the

requirements of 24 CFR 206.19(d)(2) and 24

CFR 206.47(b) pertaining to the Home Equity

Conversion (HECM) Program.

Nature of Requirement: The current HECM

regulations limit the repairs completed after

closing to 15% of the maximum claim

amount. In addition, the escrow account

must equal 150% of the required repairs. The

regulations located at 24 CFR 206.19(d)(2)

and 24 CFR 206.47(b) need to be waived in

order to allow a borrower to avoid

foreclosure by using the HECM loan program.

Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: June 29, 2000.

66142 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 213 / Thursday, November 2, 2000 / Notices

Reason Waived: Waiving the regulations

cited above will provide assistance to the

homeowner who is experiencing financial

hardship. Without the waivers, the borrower

is faced with the foreclosure of her current

mortgage. This is not in keeping with the

policy objectives of FHA which include

assisting persons in maintaining

homeownership.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 234.3 and

234.26(f)(1) where it is cited as a limitation.

Project/Activity: Assisi, San Francisco

Apartments, and La Providencia

condominium projects in the Commonwealth

of Puerto Rico.

Nature of Requirement: FHA insurance

may not be placed on individual units in a

condominium project converted from rental

housing unless; (1) conversion occurred more

than one year prior to application for

insurance, (2) the mortgagor was a tenant at

the time of conversion, (3) the conversion

was sponsored by a bona fide tenants

organization, or (4) certain events relating to

application occurred before April 10, 1984.

HUD’s regulation at 24 CFR 234.3 defines

conversion to mean the date on which all

documents necessary to create a

condominium under State law (and under

local law, where applicable) have been

recorded.

Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: May 16, 2000.

Reason Waived: Under the Commonwealth

of Puerto Rico’s inscription law the

recordation process begins with presentment

of the legal documents to create a

condominium but due to backlogs may take

several years to complete. The waiver

acknowledged that essentially the

condominium regime and all attending

responsibilities were created at presentment.

Granting the waiver permitted FHA mortgage

insurance to be placed on units in the three

projects one year from date of presentment.

It also permitted those parties who qualified

as tenants under 24 234.26(f)(1) to

immediately obtain FHA mortgage insurance.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 234.26(e)(3).

Project/Activity: Nantucket at Reston,

Reston, VA.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at 24 CFR 234.26(e)(3) requires, in order for

a condominium project to be acceptable to

the Secretary, at least 51 percent of all family

units (including units not covered by FHAinsured mortgages) must be occupied by the

owners as a principal residence or a

secondary residence (as the terms are defined

in 24 CFR 203.18), or must have been sold

to owners who intend to meet this occupancy

requirement.

Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: June 23, 2000.

Reason Waived: Waiver was granted to

allow FHA-mortgage insurance on a unit in

a 56 unit development, bringing the owneroccupancy rate to 48.21 percent. The unit

constituted affordable housing and will assist

in augmenting housing available to

households of low and moderate income.

of the legal documents to create a

condominium but due to backlogs may take

several years to complete. The waiver

acknowledged that essentially the

the two projects one year from date of

presentment.

Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: April 17, 2000.

Reason Waived: St. Peter’s Place II—Project

delays were due to making design alterations

to reduce project costs, and then raising

money from a variety of sources to meet most

of the remaining financial shortfall. Guild

House West II—The Sponsor needed

additional time to submit the draft closing

documents and secondary financing

documents outlining the terms and

conditions. Connections Community Support

Program—Delays were due to flaws in the

architectural plans for rehabilitating the

property which resulted in the hiring of a

new architect. Freedom House—Delays were

due to the Sponsor seeking outside funding

sources to help cover project shortfalls as a

result of an increase in the Davis Bacon wage

rates. Rudolph Mercy Douglas—Delays were

due to the Sponsor’s inexperience in meeting

development standards and time frames for

this type of project.

Reason Waived: The Sponsor had to seek

a new general contractor when the old

bidding process. Also, the New York Hub

needed additional time to issue a revised

Firm Commitment.

Project/Activity: Orchard Knob

Apartments, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Project

Number: 087–EE015.

Nature of Requirement: HUD regulations in

24 CFR 891.205 and 891.410(c) limit

occupancy to very low-income (VLI) elderly

persons (i.e., households composed of one or

more persons at least one of whom is 62

years of age at time of initial occupancy).

Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: May 31, 2000.

Reason Waived: The Atlanta Multifamily

Hub has requested waiver of the Section 202/

PRAC occupancy requirements for this

project which would allow seven ineligible

households/tenants under the age of 62 to

remain at the project. The management agent

used requirements of the Section 202/8

program, assuming the Section 202/PRAC

program requirements were the same. These

families must be relocated at project expense

within one year of granting this waiver.

Project/Activity: Arc HUD V, Newark,

Delaware, Project Number: 032–HD023/

DE26–Q991–002

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at 24 CFR 891.310(b)(1) provides that all

entrances, common areas, units to be

occupied by resident staff, and amenities

must be readily accessible to and usable by

persons with disabilities.

Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: April 17, 2000.

Reason Waived: This project consists of

two group homes, housing four residents.

The Sponsor indicated that 10 percent of one

property and 40 percent of the units for this

property would be made fully handicapped

accessible. However, the Sponsor never had

more than a few physically disabled

residents and far below 40 percent of the

intended occupants of this project have

mobility impairments. To retrofit this

property would not be financially feasible

and the resident disruption would be

prohibitive.

Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: April 17, 2000.

Reason Waived: The Seattle Multifamily

Hub requested waiver of this regulation due

to the project’s severe vacancy problems.

elderly families who are at or over age 55 and

low income to apply for admission, thereby

attempting to improve occupancy rates. This

waiver effective for one year from the date of

approval.

Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: June 5, 2000.

Reason Waived: The Minneapolis

Multifamily Hub requested waiver of the

Section 202/PRAC occupancy requirements

for this project due to low vacancy rates. This

will allow elderly and near-elderly families

years of age at time of initial occupancy).

Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: April 17, 2000.

Reason Waived: The Milwaukee

Multifamily Program Center has requested an

age waiver for the subject project which is

located in a high crime/drug area and

experiencing vacancy problems. Potential

tenants are choosing projects located in safer

areas creating vacancy problems at Santa

Cruz Apartments. This waiver will allow

management additional flexibility in

attempting to rent up these vacant units.

Admission will be open to persons between

the ages of 55 and 62 but continuing to give

preference to those 62 and over. This waiver

is effective for one year from the date of

approval.

Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Date Granted: April 17, 2000.

Reason Waived: The Denver Multifamily

Hub requested an age waiver for the subject

project to allow project management

or without disabilities, allowing management

to rent up the remaining units. This waiver

Project/Activity: Providence Housing

Authority, Providence, RI, Grant

#R143DEP0010197.

Nature of Requirement: Section 761.30(b)

establishes the terms of the grant agreement

and the procedures for extending the grant

term. A waiver of 24 CFR 761.30(b) to extend

a PHDEP 1997 grant was requested by the

Providence Housing Authority (PHA),

Providence, RI.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: March 30, 2000.

Reason Waived: The PHA has achieved

substantial cost savings in its Fiscal Year

1997 PHDEP Program. The unanticipated

savings resulted in the PHA making

adjustments to its grant activities and

delivery of programs. Adding to this is the

fact that the PHA’s fiscal year date is in

conflict with the HUD’s grant execution date.

The grant execution date was in December

and the PHA’s fiscal date had already started

six months prior. This extension will allow

the closure of this grant and coincide with

the PHA’s fiscal year.

Nature of Requirement: Section 761.30(b)

establishes the terms of the grant agreement

and the procedures for extending the grant

term. A waiver of 24 CFR 761.30(b) to extend

a PHDEP 1997 grant was requested by

Cambridge Housing Authority (CHA),

Cambridge, MA.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: April 3, 2000.

Reason Waived: The CHA has experienced

a time lag with respect to the billing of

services from the Cambridge Police

Department for patrols. The patrol services

under this contract are scheduled to be

completed by June 30, 2000. In addition, the

CHA experienced delays in obligating Fiscal

Year 1997 PHDEP funds because of an

overlay in previous years’ PHDEP activities

and its coordinator was on extended leave

because of injury.

and the procedures for extending the grant

term. A waiver of 24 CFR 761.30(b) to extend

a PHDEP 1997 grant was requested by the

Woburn Housing Authority.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: April 5, 2000.

Reason Waived: The WHA requested the

extension of the 1997 grant to use PHDEP

funds for physical improvements, equipment,

and youth career development. The WHA

also requested to reprogram funds from

Budget Line Item (BLI)9110 into BLI9150

(Physical Improvement). This is needed so

that the WHA can increase security measures

in the Spring Court Extension Housing

Development and provide additional services

to increase employment and track high risk

Nature of Requirement: Section 761.30(b)

establishes the terms of the grant agreement

and the procedures for extending the grant

term. A waiver of 24 CFR 761.30(b) to extend

a PHDEP 1997 grant was requested by the

Edinburg Housing Authority (EHA),

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Reason Waived: The EHA requested a

twelve (12) month amendment to the grant

term in order to expend the remaining

PHDEP funds (approximately $145,774.05).

The EHA cites the abrupt departure of its

drug grant coordinator, as well as missing

PHDEP grant files as its reasons for an

extension request. The EHA has assigned a

staff member to temporarily ‘‘monitor’’ the

grant programs until they can fill the position

within the next few months.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 761.30(b)(1) and

Section I(f)(6) of the Fiscal Year 1997 Notice

of Funding Availability for the Public and

Indian Housing Drug Elimination Program.

Project/Activity: A request was made by

the White Mountain Apache Housing

Authority (WMAHA), White River, AZ, to

waive the term of the grant agreement beyond

24-months for the Public and Indian Housing

Drug Elimination Program (PIHDEP). The

regulations state that any funds not expended

at the end of the grant term shall be remitted

to HUD. The regulations also state that the

maximum extension allowable for any

program is six months. The tribe requested

an extension because they needed additional

time to continue their efforts to have a

positive impact on the communities which

they serve.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: April 17, 2000.

Reason Waived: Based on the narrative

justification that was submitted to the

Department on behalf of the WMAHA and

their timely submission of required

documents, the Department believed that

there was good cause to waive the extension/

grant term requirements of 24 CFR 761.30

(b)(1) and Section I(f)(6) of the Fiscal Year

1997 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)

Granted By: Deborah Vincent, General

Date Granted: June 2, 1999.

stated that extenuating circumstances such as

extensive termite damage, elimination of

resident security, and lead-based paint and

asbestos abatement justified the increased

cost.

assistance to a relative of the landlord.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistance

Date Granted: January 27, 2000.

Reason Waived: Approval of the waiver

prevented a hard-to-housing family that had

completed the transitional housing program

from becoming homeless by allowing the

were no other units available in the PHA’s

jurisdiction large enough to accommodate the

requested permission to benefit from energy

performance contracting for developments

Nature of Requirement: Under 24 CFR 990,

conservation incentive that relates to energy

performance contracting currently applies to

only PHA-paid utilities. The Housing

Authority of the County of Kern has both

PHA-paid and tenant-paid utilities.

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: February 2, 2000.

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 213 / Thursday, November 2, 2000 / Notices 66159

Reason Waived: In September 1996, the

Oakland Housing Authority was granted a

waiver to permit the Authority to benefit

from energy performance contracting for

developments with tenant-paid utilities. The

waiver was granted on the basis that the

Authority presented a sound and reasonable

methodology for doing so. The Housing

Authority of the County of Kern requested a

waiver based on the same approved

methodology. The waiver permits the HA to

exclude from its PFS calculation of rental

income, increased rental income due to the

difference between updated baseline utility

(before implementation of the energy

conservation measures) and revised

allowances(after implementation of the

measures) for the project(s) involved for the

duration of the contract period, which cannot

exceed 12 years.

Project/Activity: Cost limits on Indian

Housing Block Grant development activities,

Nature of Requirement: Section 1000.156

funds that may be spent on dwelling

construction and equipment (DC&E) for

affordable housing for housing developed or

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: September 15, 1999.

Reason Waived: The Cook Inlet Housing

Authority provided to HUD cost estimates

supporting their estimates of the amount

required to construct the housing project.

These estimates contained costs not included

in HUD published DC&E cost limits. The

waiver of § 1000.156 provides for a departure

from the definition of DC&E contained in the

regulation and establishes a maximum

amount of IHBG funds that may be expended

by CIHA for eligible IHBG activities.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 1005.107(b)(2).

Project/Activity: A request was made by

the Intergovernmental Relations Committee

of the Navajo Nation Council for HUD to

waive a Section 184 Loan Guarantees for

Indian Housing regulatory requirement

placed upon the Navajo Nation by the

Federal government.

Nature of Requirement: If a leasehold

interest in trust or restricted land is used as

collateral or security in the Section 184

program, the land lease must be on a form

approved by the Department. The Section

184 regulation at 24 CFR 1005.107(b)(2)

provides in relevant part:

‘‘The lease form must contain a provision

requiring tribal consent before any

assumption of an existing lease, except where

title to the leasehold interest is obtained by

the Department through foreclosure of the

guaranteed mortgage or a deed in lieu of

foreclosure. A mortgagee other than the

Department must obtain tribal consent before

obtaining title through a foreclosure sale.

Tribal consent must be obtained on any

subsequent transfer from the purchaser,

including the Department, at foreclosure

sale.’’

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: June 30, 2000.

Reason Waived: The Department’s

regulation was created to provide tribal

governments control over the assignment of

home site leases but the Navajo Nation has

chosen to address this matter in a different

manner. The consent by the Navajo Nation is

not required before an assumption of an

existing lease or a foreclosure sale; adequate

protection is provided to the Navajo Nation

in the Navajo mortgage and lease forms and

system of government. The favorable

disposition of the waiver request does not

adversely affect the interests of the

Department and is consistent with EO 13084

which encourages flexibility in the

consideration of waiver requests from tribal

governments.
