ACTION: Notice. 

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 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 October 

1, 2014, and ending on December 31, 

2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

general information about this notice, 

contact Camille E. Acevedo, Associate 

General Counsel for Legislation and 

Regulations, Department of Housing and 

Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, 

SW., Room 10282, Washington, DC

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

with hearing- or speech-impairments 

may access this number through TTY by 

calling the toll-free Federal Relay 

Service at 800–877–8339. 

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 fourth quarter of 

calendar year 2014. 

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, 2014 through December 31, 

2014. 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 fourth quarter of calendar year 

2014) before the next report is published 

(the first quarter of calendar year 2015), 

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 24, 2015. 

Tonya T. Robinson, 

Principal Deputy General Counsel.

Requirements Granted by Offices of the 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development October 1, 2014 through 

December 31, 2014 

Note to Reader: More information about 

the granting of these waivers, including a 

copy of the waiver request and approval, may 

be obtained by contacting the person whose 

name is listed as the contact person directly 

after each set of regulatory waivers granted. 

The regulatory waivers granted appear in 

the following order: 

I. Regulatory waivers granted by the Office 

of Community Planning and Development. 

II. Regulatory waivers granted by the Office 

of Housing. 

III. Regulatory waivers granted by the 

Office of Public and Indian Housing. 

I. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office 

of Community Planning and Development 

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 58.22(a). 

Project/Activity: The Spokane Tribe of 

Indians requested a waiver of 24 CFR 

58.22(a) for the demolition and new 

construction of the West End Community 

Center serving the Spokane Tribe in 

Wellpinit, WA. The waiver requested 

clearance for the demolition of the old 

community center prior to the Request for 

Release of Funds (RROF). 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 

24 CFR 58.22(a) provides that no entity may 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 61 / Tuesday, March 31, 2015 / Notices 17063 

commit HUD assistance under a program 

listed in § 58.1(b) on any activity or project 

until HUD or the state has approved the 

recipient’s RROF. In addition, until the RROF 

has been approved, no entity may commit 

non-HUD funds on an activity listed in 

§ 58.1(b) if the activity would have an 

adverse environmental impact. Since the 

commitment of non-HUD funds violates only 

the regulation and not the statute, HUD may, 

if there is good cause, grant a waiver of the 

affected regulation. A waiver is required 

because the Spokane Tribe committed nonHUD funds to demolish the old West End 

Community Center facility prior to receiving 

an approved RROF. 

Granted By: Clifford Taffet, General Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning 

and Development. 

Date Granted: December 10, 2014. 

Reason Waived: It was determined that the 

project would further the HUD mission and 

advance HUD program goals to develop 

viable, quality communities. It was further 

determined that the Spokane Tribe of Indians 

did not knowingly violate the regulation, no 

HUD funds were committed, and based on 

the environmental assessment and field 

inspection, granting the waiver will not 

result in any unmitigated, adverse 

environmental impact.

• Regulations: 24 CFR 92.251(c) and 24 

CFR 92.504(d). 

Project/Activity: HUD, along with the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture and the U.S. 

Department of Treasury, developed the 

Physical Inspection Alignment Pilot Program 

to align physical inspection criteria and 

reduce the number of inspections for each 

property to no more than one visit per year 

while meeting the requirements of each 

federal funding source with a vested 

financial interest in the property. The waiver 

permitted pilot grantees to use the Uniform 

Physical Condition Standards as the 

minimum inspection standard for HOMEassisted rental property rather than Housing 

Quality Standards as currently required by 24 

CFR 92.251(c) and allows for more frequent 

inspections than are required for inspection 

frequency under 24 CFR 92.504(d). The 

following participating jurisdictions were 

granted a limited waiver of HOME property 

standards for participating in HUD’s Physical 

Inspections Alignment Pilot Program: the 

State of Kentucky, the State of Louisiana, the 

State of Minnesota, the State of Missouri, the 

State of New Mexico, the State of Texas, the 

State of Wisconsin and the State of Vermont. 

Nature of Requirements: The regulation at 

24 CFR 92.251(c) identifies the property 

standards for property acquired with HOME 

assistance. The regulation at 24 CFR 

92.504(d) requires the participating 

jurisdiction to inspect each project at project 

completion and during the period of 

affordability to determine that the project 

meets the property standards of 24 CFR 

92.251. 

Granted By: Clifford Taffet, General Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning 

and Development. 

Date Granted: November 5, 2014. 

Reasons Waived: The waiver was granted 

to reduce duplicative inspection for grantees 

participating in the Physical Inspection 

Alignment Pilot Program. HUD estimates that 

one periodically-scheduled physical 

inspection may result in 20,000 fewer 

property inspections per year by federal 

agencies, which will reduce the cost of 

program oversight and create efficiencies for 

the government, property owners, and for 

residents of affordable housing whose 

apartments are subject to inspection. The 

waiver was effective until December 31, 2014 

and limited to Combined Funding Properties 

included in the 2014 Physical Inspection 

Alignment Pilot Program.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 570.200(h). 

Project/Activity: On October 21, 2014, 

HUD issued a CPD Notice implementing 

procedures to govern the submission and 

review of consolidated plans and action 

plans for FY 2015 funding prior to the 

enactment of a FY 2015 HUD appropriation 

bill. These procedures apply to any 

Entitlement, Insular or Hawaii 

nonentitlement grantee with a program year 

start date prior to, or up to 60 days after, 

HUD’s announcement of the FY 2015 formula 

program funding allocations for CDBG, ESG, 

HOME and HOPWA formula funding. Any 

grantee with an FY 2015 program year start 

date during the period starting October 1, 

2014, and ending August 16, 2015 or 60 days 

after HUD announcement of FY 2015 

allocation amounts (whichever comes first), 

is advised not to submit its consolidated 

plan/action plan until the FY 2015 formula 

allocations have been announced. 

Nature of Requirement: The Entitlement 

CDBG program regulations provide for 

situations in which a grantee may incur costs 

against its CDBG grant prior to the award of 

its grant from HUD. Under the regulations, 

the effective date of a grantee’s grant 

agreement is either the grantee’s program 

year start date or the date that the grantee’s 

annual action plan is received by HUD, 

whichever is later. This waiver allowed 

grantees to treat the effective date of the FY 

2015 program year as the grantee’s program 

year start date or date or the date that the 

grantee’s annual action plan is received by 

HUD, whichever is earlier. 

Granted By: Clifford Taffet, General Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning 

and Development. 

Date Granted: September 25, 2014, for 

effect on October 21, 2014. 

Reason Waived: Under the provisions of 

the CPD Notice, a grantee’s action plan may 

not be submitted to (and thus received by) 

HUD until several months after the grantee’s 

program year start date. Lengthy delays in the 

receipt of annual appropriations by HUD, 

and implementation of the policy to delay 

submission of FY 2015 Action Plans, may 

have negative consequences for CDBG 

grantees that intend to incur eligible costs 

prior to the award of FY 2015 funding. Some 

activities might otherwise be interrupted 

while implementing these revised 

procedures. In addition, grantees might not 

otherwise be able to use CDBG funds for 

planning and administrative costs of 

administering their programs. In order to 

address communities’ needs and to ensure 

that programs can continue without 

disturbance, this waiver allowed grantees to 

incur pre-award costs on a timetable 

comparable to that under which grantees 

have operated in past years. HUD advised 

grantees that this waiver is available for use 

by any applicable CDBG grantee whose 

action plan submission is delayed past the 

normal submission date because of delayed 

enactment of FY 2015 appropriations for the 

Department. This waiver authority is only in 

effect until August 16, 2015.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 570.208(a)(l)(vi). 

Project/Activity: Spokane County, WA 

requested a waiver of 24 CFR 570.208(a)(l)(vi) 

to allow the use of prior Low and Moderate 

Income Summary Data (LMISD) for an 

infrastructure activity in the town of Fairfield 

in order to demonstrate compliance with the 

low- and moderate-income benefit national 

objective requirements. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 570.208(a)(l)(vi) requires that the 

most recently available decennial census 

information must be used to the fullest extent 

feasible, together with the section 8 income 

limits that would have applied at the time 

the income information was collected by the 

Census Bureau, to determine whether there is 

a sufficiently large percentage of low- and 

moderate-income persons residing in the area 

served by a CDBG funded activity. The HUDproduced Low and Moderate Income 

Summary Data provide this data to grantees. 

On June 10, 2014, HUD issued new Low and 

Moderate Income Summary Data, with an 

effective date of July 1, 2014 for use by 

grantees. 

Granted By: Clifford Taffet, General Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning 

and Development. 

Date Granted: November 4, 2014. 

Reason Waived: The Fairfield water line 

infrastructure activity had been in the 

planning stage for many months, and was 

included in the county’s FY 2014 Annual 

Action Plan. However, funds were not 

obligated by the county to the activity prior 

to July 1, 2014 and July 1 was the county’s 

program year start date. The service area for 

this activity no longer qualified under the 

new LMISD. However, the county explained 

that the town of Fairfield’s demographic 

characteristics, with a population of 665, 

almost remained the same since the previous 

LMISD was issued, and that the American 

Community Survey (ACS) sampling 

methodology resulted in this change, not a 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
17064 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 61 / Tuesday, March 31, 2015 / Notices 

decrease in the number of low- and 

moderate-income persons. The urgency of 

repairing the water lines made it difficult to 

complete a special survey in time. The 

county estimated that it would cost close to 

$20,000 to conduct a survey to demonstrate 

that the service area of the activity meets the 

low- and moderate-income area benefit 

national objective criteria. The waiver 

allowed the county to continue to use the 

prior Low and Moderate Income Summary 

Data to demonstrate compliance with the 

low- and moderate-income benefit national 

objective requirements.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 570.208(a)(l)(vi). 

Project/Activity: King County, WA 

requested a waiver of 24 CFR 570.208(a)(l)(vi) 

to allow the use of prior Low and Moderate 

Income Summary Data (LMISD) for two 

infrastructure activities in order to 

demonstrate compliance with the low- and 

moderate-income benefit national objective 

requirements. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 570.208(a)(l)(vi) requires that the 

most recently available decennial census 

information must be used to the fullest extent 

feasible, together with the section 8 income 

limits that would have applied at the time 

the income information was collected by the 

Census Bureau, to determine whether there is 

a sufficiently large percentage of low- and 

moderate-income persons residing in the area 

served by a CDBG funded activity. The HUDproduced Low and Moderate Income 

Summary Data provide this data to grantees. 

On June 10, 2014, HUD issued new Low and 

Moderate Income Summary Data, with an 

effective date of July 1, 2014 for use by 

grantees. 

Granted By: Clifford Taffet, General Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning 

and Development. 

Date Granted: November 18, 2014. 

Reason Waived: The request pertained to 

two infrastructure activities, which had been 

in the planning stage for many months, and 

were included in the county’s FY 2014 

Annual Action Plan. However, funds were 

not obligated by the county to these activities 

prior to July 1, 2014. The county documented 

that the available Low and Moderate Income 

Summary Data covered an area larger than 

the actual service areas for the two activities, 

and was not representative of the income 

characteristics of the activity service area 

residents. It was determined that unless the 

waiver was granted to the county, these 

activities that directly benefit the health and 

safety of residents would not be implemented 

due to the lack of expertise and funds needed 

to conduct special surveys to qualify the 

service areas. The waiver allowed the county 

to continue to use the prior Low and 

Moderate Income Summary Data to 

demonstrate compliance with the low- and 

moderate-income benefit national objective 

requirements.

• Regulation: 24 CFR part 576.403(c). 

Project/Activity: Louisville-Jefferson 

County, KY Metro Government requested a 

waiver of § 576.403(c) to allow the Legal Aid 

Society to provide legal services under the 

homelessness prevention component to 

program participants who want to stay in 

their units, even if the units do not meet the 

habitability standards. The waiver would 

allow those program participants receiving 

the legal services to receive the case 

management required at § 576.401(d) and (e) 

even if their units do not meet the 

habitability standards. The waiver was 

contingent upon the commitment of the 

recipient, its subrecipient, Legal Aid Society, 

and the subrecipient(s) providing the 

required case management to work with the 

property owners to bring the units into 

compliance with the habitability standards or 

assist the program participants to move if the 

units are unsafe. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 

§ 576.403(c) states that the recipient or 

subrecipient cannot use ESG funds to help a 

program participant remain in or move into 

housing that does not meet the ESG 

minimum habitability standards for 

permanent housing. 

Granted By: Cliff Taffet, General Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning 

and Development. 

Date Granted: December 10, 2014. 

Reason Waived: HUD recognized that in 

certain instances, the best way to help 

program participants avoid homelessness is 

to keep them in their housing until better 

housing can be located, or their existing 

housing can be brought up to code. Legal 

services provide an important resource for 

persons who are at risk of homelessness, who 

need immediate assistance to help them 

avoid moving to the streets or emergency 

shelters. In some instances, it is not feasible 

to inspect a unit to ensure that it meets the 

habitability standards prior to the provision 

of the legal services assistance necessary to 

prevent homelessness for the individual or 

family. Also in some cases, the habitability 

requirement actually prohibits eligible 

program participants from receiving the legal 

services that could assist them to make the 

unit habitable and stabilize them in their 

housing.

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 219.220(b). 

Project/Activity: St. James A.M.E Tower 

Apartments, FHA Project Number 031– 

018NISUP, Newark, NJ. The Owners have 

requested deferral of repayment of the 

Flexible Subsidy Operating Assistance Loan 

on this project due to their inability to repay 

the loan in full upon prepayment of the 236 

Loan. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

219.220(b)(1995) governs the repayment of 

operating assistance provided under the 

Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled 

Projects states ‘‘Assistance that has been paid 

to a project owner under this subpart must 

be repaid at the earlier of expiration of the 

term of the mortgage, termination of mortgage 

insurance, prepayment of the mortgage, or a 

sale of the project (Transfer of Physical 

Assets (TPA)) if the Secretary so requires at 

the time of approval of the TPA.’’ Either of 

these actions would typically terminate FHA 

involvement with the property, and the 

Flexible Subsidy Loan would be repaid, in 

whole, at that time. 

Granted by: Biniam T. Gebre, Acting 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: December 30, 2014. 

Reason Waived: The owner requested and 

was granted waiver of the requirement to 

defer repayment of the Flexible Subsidy 

Operating Assistance Loan to allow the much 

needed preservation and moderate 

rehabilitation of the project. The project will 

be preserved as an affordable housing 

resource of Newark, NJ.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b). 

Project/Activity: CWA Apartments II FHA 

Number TN43L000016 is a project based 

Section 8 Loan Management Set-Aside 

(LMSA) contract encumbering a76-units for 

low- income families located in Nashville, 

Tennessee. The project consists of 76 twobedroom units. The contract expires on 

August 31, 2017. On September 1, 1994, a 

Flexible Subsidy Loan was awarded in the 

amount of $1,659,585 at one percent per 

annum. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 219.220(b) 

governs the repayment of operating 

assistance provided under the Flexible 

Subsidy Program for Troubled Projects prior 

to May 1, 1996 states: ‘‘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 of these actions would 

typically terminate FHA involvement with 

the property, and the Flexible Subsidy Loan 

would be repaid, in whole, at that time. 

Granted by: Carol J. Galante, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: October 7, 2014. 

Reason Waived: The owner requested and 

was granted waiver because good cause was 

shown that it is in the public’s best interest 

to grant this waiver. The owner executed and 

recorded a Rental Use Agreement that 

extended the affordability of the property for

• Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b). 

Project/Activity: CWA Apartments I 

Contract number TN43–L000–015 apartments 

CWA Apartments I is a 176-unit multifamily 

project which consists of 20 two-bedroom 

units and 156 three-bedroom units. The 

property was financed with a mortgage 

insured pursuant to Section 221(d)(3) of the 

National Housing Act, which has now 

matured and is paid in full. The Loan 

Management Set-Aside (LMSA) Housing 

Assistance Payments (HAP) contract covers 

all 176 units. The HAP contact expires on 

August 31, 2017. In 1995, the project was 

awarded a Flexible Subsidy Loan in the 

amount of $3,508,629 with one percent 

interest rate. As of September 29, 2014, the 

Flexible Subsidy Loan’s unpaid balance is 

$4,141,194, including accrued interest. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 

24 CFR 219.220(b)(1995), which governs the 

repayment of operating assistance provided 

under the Flexible Subsidy Program for 

Troubled Projects states, ‘‘Assistance that has 

been paid to a project Owner under this 

subpart must be repaid at the earlier of 

expiration of the term of the mortgage, 

termination of mortgage insurance, 

prepayment of the mortgage, or a sale of the 

project.’’ 

Granted by: Carol J. Galante, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: October 7, 2014. 

Reason Waived: The owner requested and 

was granted waiver because good cause was 

shown that it is in the public’s best interest 

to grant this waiver. The owner executed and 

recorded a Rental Use Agreement that 

extended the affordability of the property for 

20 years and amended the Residual Receipts 

Note to reflect the monthly payments. These 

documents were simultaneously assumed by 

the purchaser.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b). 

Project/Activity: Cathedral Terrace 

Apartments FHA number 063–44007 is a 

240-unit high-rise project for low- income 

and very low-income tenants. The mortgage 

was insured pursuant to Section 236(j)(1) of 

the National Housing Act and received its 

final endorsement on November 22, 1974, in 

the amount of $4,919,500. A Section 8 Loan 

Management Set-Aside (LMSA) contract 

subsidizes 224 units and expires on June 30, 

2034. The mortgage matured on November 1, 

2014, which triggered the repayment of the 

Flexible Subsidy Loans 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 

24 CFR 219.220(b) (1995), which governs the 

repayment of operating assistance provided 

under the Flexible Subsidy Program for 

Troubled Properties, states ‘‘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.’’ 

Granted by: Biniam Gebre, Acting Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: December 30, 2014. 

Reason Waived: The owner requested and 

was granted waiver to permit the deferment 

of repayment of the Flexible Subsidy Loans, 

plus accrued interest for a period of one year. 

The requested waiver was for the subject 

property only. The owner executed and 

recorded a Rental Use Agreement that would 

be superior to all liens. The Rental Use 

Agreement extended the project affordability 

20 years from the date of the original 

mortgage maturity.

• Regulation: Requirements of Mortgagee 

Letter 2011–22, Condominium Project 

Approval and Processing Guide, Insurance 

Requirements. 

Project/Activity: Extension of initial waiver 

issued November 27, 2013, providing an 

exemption to the insurance requirements 

defined in Mortgagee Letter 2011–22, 

Condominium Project Approval and 

Processing Guide. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 2.1.9 of the 

Condominium Project Approval and 

Processing Guide, Insurance Requirements, 

defines the condominium project insurance 

requirements that must be met for issuance 

of FHA condominium project approval. The 

extension of the initial waiver allows for 

acceptance of individual insurance policies 

issued to the unit owners for Manufactured

Condominium Projects unable to satisfy the 

insurance requirements. 

Granted by: Biniam Gebre, Acting Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: November 27, 2014. 

Reason Waived: The extension of the 

waiver previously issued that allows unit 

owners to obtain and maintain their own 

insurance coverage is required to ensure the 

continued availability of a condominium unit 

as an affordable housing option. Issuance of 

the extension is consistent with the 

Department’s objectives to expand the

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 5.801(d)(1). 

Project/Activity: Olean Housing Authority 

(NY093), Olean NY. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. The audited financial statements are 

required to be submitted to the Real Estate 

Assessment Center (REAC) 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: Jemine A. Bryon, Acting 

Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 

Housing. 

Date Granted: October 1, 2014. 

Reason Waived: The final approval of the 

annual audit was postponed due to three 

weather related cancellations of meetings of 

the Board of Commissioners. The audit was 

completed in December 2013, but was 

inadvertently not submitted. Due to the 

Departments’ delayed response and the fact 

that the audited financials have been 

submitted and approved, the housing 

authority was granted a one-time waiver.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1). 

Project/Activity: The Municipality of 

Fajardo (RQ036) Fajardo, PR 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. The audited financial statements are 

required to be submitted to the Real Estate 

Assessment Center (REAC) 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: Jemine A. Bryon, Acting 

Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 

Housing. 

Date Granted: October 13, 2014. 

Reason Waived: The audited reporting 

requirements were delayed due to the 

unforeseen death of your predecessor 

auditor. The additional time was needed to 

enable the successor auditor to review and 

process for final approval. Due to the 

Departments’ delayed response and the fact 

that the audited financial report was 

approved on August 28, 2014, the housing 

authority was granted this one-time waiver.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1). 

Project/Activity: City of Mesa Housing 

Authority (AZ005) Mesa AZ. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. The audited financial statements are 

required to be submitted to the Real Estate 

Assessment Center (REAC) 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: Jemine A. Bryon, Acting 

Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 

Housing. 

Date Granted: October 14, 2014. 

Reason Waived: The delayed submission 

was a result of the process to implement a 

new ERP Integrated Information System 

during 2013. The agency is component unit 

and must wait until the city-wide audit was 

complete before processing the audited 

financial data. The agency incurred a 

turnover in staff prior to closing your 2013 

books and that additional time was needed 

for IPA review and final submission. Due to 

the Department’s delayed response and the 

fact that your audited financial report was 

approved on July 22, 2014, the housing 

authority was granted this one-time waiver.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1). 

Project/Activity: South Tucson Housing 

Authority (AZ025) South Tucson, AZ 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. The audited financial statements are 

required to be submitted to the Real Estate 

Assessment Center (REAC) 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: Jemine A. Bryon, Acting 

Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 

Housing. 

Date Granted: November 19, 2014. 

Reason Waived: The delayed submission 

was a result of the City of South Tucson’s 

inability to obtain an extension from OMB to 

complete its Single Audit requirement. The 

agency was a component unit and waited 

until the city-wide audit was completed 

before processing the audited financial data 

for submission. Due to the Department’s 

delayed response and the fact that the 

audited financial report was approved on 

August 27, 2014, the housing authority was 

granted a one-time waiver.

Project/Activity: Mercedes Housing 

Authority (TX029) Mercedes, TX 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes certain reporting compliance 

dates. The audited financial statements are 

required to be submitted to the Real Estate 

Assessment Center (REAC) 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: Jemine A. Bryon, Acting 

Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 

Housing. 

Date Granted: November 26, 2014. 

Reason Waived: The delayed submission 

was due to issues between the independent 

auditor and the Texas State Board. The State 

Board required the agency to seek a second 

review from another independent auditor. 

However, due to human resource issues and 

scheduled vacation, the advising auditor 

could not complete the audit in time to 

submit your audited financial data by the due 

date. The agency’s audited financial data was 

approved on September 4, 2014, therefore, 

the housing authority was granted a one-time 

waiver.

• Regulation: Notices PIH 2013–3 and PIH 

20013–26: Public Housing and Housing 

Choice Voucher Programs—Temporary 

Compliance Assistance. 

Project/Activity: PIH Notice 2013–3 was 

issued to establish temporary guidelines for 

public housing agencies (PHAs) in fulfilling 

certain public housing and housing choice 

voucher requirements during the current and 

upcoming fiscal year to alleviate some of the 

burden on already stressed PHA resources. 

The reduction of burden provided in this 

notice involved offering PHAs the option to 

comply with certain alternative requirements 

to existing regulations, and if they opted to 

do so the existing regulation would be 

waived. Issuance of this notice was reported 

in HUD’s Quarterly Regulatory Waiver report 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 13, 2013, at 78 FR 56912, at 

56916. On November 5, 2013, PIH extended 

the availability of the alternative 

requirements to existing regulations through 

March 31, 2015. The following housing

Nature of Requirement: The alternative 

requirements to regulatory requirements that 

were offered under the original notice and 

extended by the second notice were the 

following: The notice allows PHAs to use 

participants’ actual past income to verify 

income, which would be a waiver of the 

requirement to project expected income in 24 

CFR 5.609(a)(2). The notice allows 

households to self-certify as to having assets 

of less than $5,000, which would be a waiver 

of the requirement under 24 CFR 5.609(b)(3), 

982.516(a)(2)(ii), and 960.259(c) for PHAs to 

verify assets. The notice allows a streamlined 

reexamination of income for elderly families 

and disabled families on fixed incomes, 

which would be a waiver of the requirement 

in 24 CFR 982.516 and 960.257 for PHAs to 

undertake the complete process for income 

verification and rent determination for 

families on fixed incomes. The notice allows 

PHAs to establish a payment standard of not 

more than 120 percent of the fair market rent 

without HUD approval as a reasonable 

accommodation, which would be a waiver of 

24 CFR 982.503(c)(2)(B)(ii), which allows a 

PHA to establish a payment standard for the 

housing choice voucher program only but 

within limits currently permitted but 

designated for approval only by a HUD field 

office. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Dates Granted: January 2013 through 

March 2015. 

Reason Waived: The waivers and 

alternative requirements were granted 

because they would help facilitate the ability

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 61 / Tuesday, March 31, 2015 / Notices 17069 

of PHAs to continue, without interruption 

and with minimal burden, the delivery of 

rental assistance to eligible families in their 

communities. Increased demand for housing 

assistance without corresponding increased 

resources strains the operations of PHAs and 

jeopardizes their ability to assist families at 

a time when families most need housing 

assistance.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 1000.327(b). 

Project/Activity: Asa’Carsarmiut Tribe of 

Mountain Village, Alaska 99632–0249; 

Stebbins Community Association of Stebbins, 

Alaska 99671; Bering Straits Regional 

Housing Authority of Nome, Alaska 99762; 

Native Village of Kivalina of Kivalina, AK 

99750. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 1000.327(b) requires Indian tribes 

in Alaska not located on a reservation to 

notify HUD in writing by September 15th 

that they or their Tribally Designated 

Housing Entity (TDHE) intends to submit an 

Indian Housing Plan (IHP) for the following 

fiscal year. If the tribe or their TDHE does not 

notify HUD, or notifies HUD that they do not 

intend to submit an IHP, HUD allocates the 

tribe’s need formula data in the Indian 

Housing Block Grant formula to the tribe’s 

regional tribe or regional corporation. HUD is 

required to allocate IHBG funds within 60 

days of an appropriation, and prior 

notification ensures that HUD can properly 

allocate Alaska tribes’ need data and make 

formula allocations in a timely manner. 

Granted By: Jemine A. Bryon, Acting 

Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 

Housing. 

Date Granted: November 24, 2014. 

Reason Waived: HUD granted the waiver 

because the tribes and TDHE would have lost 

out on critical Indian Housing Block Grant 

funding for the year. The waiver would not 

delay HUD’s process because the 

Congressional appropriation for the 

upcoming fiscal year had not yet occurred. 

As such, the Department believed that there 

was good cause to waive the notification 

requirements of 24 CFR 1000.327(b).
