Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 174 / Monday, September 9, 2024 / Notices 73119 

March 15, 2027. Credits are allocated to 

the second phase of Project F on 

October 30, 2027. The aggregate amount 

of credits allocated to the two phases of 

Project F exceeds the amount of credits 

that may be allocated to an applicant in 

one year under the allocating agency’s 

QAP. The second phase of Project F is, 

therefore, NOT eligible for the increase 

in basis accorded a project in a 2025 

DDA, since it does not meet all of the 

conditions for a multiphase project, as 

defined in this notice. The original 

application for credits for the first phase 

did not describe the multiphase 

composition of the project. Also, the 

application for credits for the second 

phase of Project F was not made in the 

year immediately following the first 

phase application year. 

(Case G) Project G is located in an 

area that is NOT a DDA in 2025 or 2027, 

but is in a DDA in 2026. A complete 

application for tax-exempt bond 

financing for Project G is filed with the 

bond-issuing agency on October 30, 

2025. Project G is placed in service on 

November 15, 2026 and the bonds are 

issued on February 20, 2027. Property G 

is eligible for the increase in basis 

available to projects located in 2026 

DDAs because one of the two necessary 

actions (the two events being taxexempt bonds issued and buildings 

placed in service) occur when the 

property is in a DDA and both events 

occur after January 1, 2026, the assumed 

effective date of the 2026 DDAs. 

VIII. Findings and Certifications 

A. Environmental Impact 

This notice involves the statutorily 

required establishment of fiscal 

requirements or procedures that are 

related to rate and cost determinations 

and do not constitute a development 

decision affecting the physical 

condition of specific project areas or 

building sites. Accordingly, under 24 

CFR 50.19(c)(6) of HUD’s regulations, 

this notice is categorically excluded 

from environmental review under the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.). 

B. Federalism Impact 

Executive Order 13132 (entitled 

‘‘Federalism’’) prohibits an agency from 

publishing any policy document that 

has federalism implications if the 

document either imposes substantial 

direct compliance costs on state and 

local governments and is not required 

by statute, or the document preempts 

state law, unless the agency meets the 

consultation and funding requirements 

of section 6 of the executive order. This 

notice merely designates DDAs and 

QCTs as required under IRC Section 42, 

as amended, for the use by political 

subdivisions of the states in allocating 

the LIHTC. This notice also details the 

technical methods used in making such 

designations. As a result, this notice is 

not subject to review under the order.

Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Policy Development and Research.
