between multiple grants. Given this 

tendency, HUD has been requiring a 

waiting period of 1 to 3 years before a 

Lead Hazard Reduction grantee is 

eligible for another Lead Hazard 

Reduction grant. For example, in its FY 

2021 NOFO, HUD specified that if a 

jurisdiction received Lead Hazard 

Reduction grant funding in 2019 or 

2020, it was not eligible to apply under 

the program; 22 and HUD specified in 

the FY 2024 NOFO that a jurisdiction 

that received Lead Hazard Reduction 

grant funding in 2023 was not eligible 

to apply under the program.23 HUD is 

interested in feedback on whether a 

waiting period of two years is 

appropriate for a potential Lead Hazard 

Reduction formula grant or whether 

some other waiting period would be 

appropriate for maximizing the 

production of lead safe and healthy 

housing units by individual formula 

grantees and the program overall. 

c. Effect of poor performance under a 

previous grant on the award of a new 

formula grant. 

HUD grant award requirements 

incorporate the Office of Management 

and Budget’s (OMB) grant regulations, 

particularly its Uniform Administrative 

Requirements, Cost Principles, and 

Audit Requirements for Federal Awards 

at 2 CFR part 200. In particular, OMB’s 

provisions relating to the award of 

grants 24 state that the pre-Federal award 

requirements and contents of Federal 

awards 25 apply to Federal grant 

agreements—such as the Lead Hazard 

Reduction grants with their Healthy 

Homes Supplements. Among those 

requirements is the Federal awarding 

agency review of risk posed by 

applicants. Awarding agencies, 

including HUD, must have a framework 

for evaluating the risks posed by 

applicants before they receive Federal 

awards.26 HUD may decide that the 

risks posed by a particular jurisdiction 

are so high that the Department will not 

make an award to the jurisdiction, or 

HUD may apply special conditions to 

the grant that correspond to the degree 

of risk assessed. Among the factors that 

may be used in this risk evaluation is 

the jurisdiction’s history of performance 

in managing Federal awards.27

Under title X, HUD has a national 

perspective on the effective use of Lead 

Hazard Reduction grant funds to 

eliminate lead-based paint hazards in 

housing as expeditiously as possible.28

HUD is interested in learning the 

public’s views on how the poor 

performance of a prior-year Lead Hazard 

Reduction grantee (whether its grant is 

awarded competitively or by formula) 

should affect HUD’s evaluation of the 

risk of awarding that grantee a formula 

grant. For example, HUD seeks 

suggestions regarding when not to 

award a grant to a previously poor 

performing grantee and, instead, award 

the funds to the jurisdiction with the 

next-highest need, and when and what 

special conditions to apply to a 

previously poor performing grantee. 

3. Regarding award amounts, should a 

Lead Hazard Reduction formula grant 

program have smaller awards to 

geographically disperse the funding, or 

should larger grant amounts be awarded 

which would concentrate funding in 

certain highest-risk communities but 

reduce the number of jurisdictions 

receiving funds? 

Title X identifies several purposes for 

the Lead Hazard Reduction program,29

including to develop a national strategy 

to build the infrastructure necessary to 

eliminate lead-based paint hazards in all 

housing as expeditiously as possible 

and to reorient the national approach to 

the presence of lead-based paint in 

housing to implement, on a priority 

basis, a broad program to evaluate and 

reduce lead-based paint hazards in the 

Nation’s housing stock. In implementing 

title X, HUD has awarded Lead Hazard 

Reduction grants across the U.S. to large 

and small jurisdictions, both rural and 

urban. 

If a formula grant program is 

authorized, HUD intends to continue 

the approach regarding jurisdictions’ 

size and urbanicity; however, HUD is 

interested in receiving feedback from 

the public on whether HUD’s formula 

grant resources should focus on 

addressing lead-based paint hazards in 

as many as possible high-risk locations 

across the U.S or focus on areas of 

highest potential lead exposure risk to 

have a greater effect on communities at 

highest risk, or in a balance between the 

two (and what the balancing criteria 

should be). 

4. What should be the period of 

performance duration for a formula 

grant? 

HUD’s FY 2023 and FY 2024 Lead 

Hazard Reduction grant programs each 

have specified 48-month periods of 

performance. Previous grantee periods 

of performance have been 36 months 

and 42 months. Historically, HUD has 

varied the periods of performance based 

predominately on the maximum award 

amount in a particular NOFO, with 

higher grant amounts necessitating 

longer periods of performance. HUD 

seeks public input on appropriate grant 

durations for a formula-based Lead 

Hazard Reduction grant.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of the Interior has approved 

the BLM’s decision to issue a right-ofway grant for construction, operation 

and maintenance (O&M), and 

decommissioning of a 5,141-acre solar 

facility wholly on BLM lands with a 

24.1-mile-long gen-tie line to connect to 

the existing Fort Churchill substation 

near the town of Yerington in Lyon 

County, Nevada. The Project includes 

the following primary components: (1) a 

700 megawatt (MW) alternating current 

(MWac) solar photovoltaic power 

generating facility; (2) a 700 MW battery 

energy storage system; (3) linear and 

ancillary facilities, including access 

roads, electrical distribution lines, and 

communication cables; (4) O&M 

facilities; and (5) a substation and a 

24.1-mile-long 345 kilovolt (kV) or 525 

kV gen-tie line into the Fort Churchill 

substation, of which 22.9 miles would 

be on the BLM-managed lands. The 

project and planning area is 

approximately 55 miles southeast of the 

Reno metropolitan area, 11 miles 

southeast of the town of Yerington, 7 

miles west of U.S. Route 95, and 8 miles 

east of State Route 208. 

The decision to authorize this energy 

generation project on public lands is 

consistent with the Federal Land Policy 

and Management Act, as amended, and 

the BLM’s right-of-way regulations (43 

U.S.C. 1761; 43 CFR part 2800). 

Approval of this right-of-way

Officer, Advisory Committee on 

Actuarial Examinations, at 202–317– 

3648 or elizabeth.j.vanosten@irs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background 

To qualify for enrollment to perform 

actuarial services under ERISA, an 

applicant must satisfy certain 

experience and knowledge 

requirements, which are set forth in the 

Joint Board’s regulations. An applicant 

may satisfy the knowledge requirement 

by successful completion of Joint Board 

examinations in basic actuarial 

mathematics and methodology and in 

actuarial mathematics and methodology 

relating to pension plans qualifying 

under ERISA. 

The Joint Board, the Society of 

Actuaries, and the American Society of 

Pension Professionals & Actuaries 

jointly offer examinations acceptable to 

the Joint Board for enrollment purposes 

and acceptable to the other two actuarial 

organizations as part of their respective 

examination programs. 

2. Scope of Advisory Committee Duties 

The Advisory Committee plays an 

integral role in the examination program 

by assisting the Joint Board in offering 

examinations that enable examination 

candidates to demonstrate the 

knowledge necessary to qualify for 

enrollment. The Advisory Committee’s 

duties, which are strictly advisory, 

include (1) recommending topics for 

inclusion on the Joint Board 

examinations, (2) developing and 

reviewing examination questions, (3) 

recommending proposed examinations, 

(4) reviewing examination results and 

recommending passing scores, and (5) 

providing other recommendations and 

advice relative to the examinations, as 

requested by the Joint Board. 

3. Member Terms and Responsibilities 

Members are appointed for a two-year 

term. The upcoming term will begin on 

March 1, 2025, and end on February 28, 

2027. Members may seek reappointment 

for additional consecutive terms. 

Members are expected to attend 

approximately four meetings each 

calendar year and are reimbursed for 

travel expenses in accordance with 

applicable government regulations. 

Meetings may be held in-person or by 

teleconference. In general, members are 

expected to devote 125 to 175 hours, 

including meeting time, to the work of 

the Advisory Committee over the course 

of a year. 

4. Member Selection 

The Joint Board seeks to appoint an 

Advisory Committee that is fairly 

balanced in terms of points of view 

represented and functions to be 

performed. Every effort is made to 

ensure that most points of view extant 

in the enrolled actuary profession are 

represented on the Advisory Committee. 

To that end, the Joint Board seeks to 

appoint members from each of the main 

practice areas of the enrolled actuary 

profession, including small employer 

plans, large employer plans, and 

multiemployer plans. In addition, to 

ensure diversity of points of view, the
