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, 2008, and ending on December 31, 

2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

general information about this notice,

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 2008. 

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), 

as reiterated and updated in the 

Restatement of Policy on Waiver of 

Regulations published on December 17, 

2008 (73 FR 76674). 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, 2008, through December 31, 

2008. For ease of reference, the waivers 

granted by HUD are listed by HUD 

program office (for example, the Office 

of Community Panning 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 

2008) before the next report is published 

(the first quarter of calendar year 2009), 

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 6, 2009. 

Linda M. Cruciani, 

Deputy General Counsel for Operations.

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 King County Housing 

Authority applied to the City of Federal Way 

for Community Development Block Grant 

funds for the renovation and expansion of 

Kings Court Community Building on May 14, 

2007. The King County Housing Authority 

also intended to utilize Capital funds for the 

project. The Community Center is located in 

close proximity to public housing units and 

is intended for services such as after-school 

programs for youths and employment 

services for nearby residents and Section 8 

recipients. King County Housing Authority 

committed nonfederal funds by issuing a 

letter of award for constructing the 

Community Center, an action that limits the 

choice of reasonable alternatives, before 

receiving an approved Request for Release of 

Funds.

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 17, 2009 / Notices 11443 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 58.22(a) requires that an 

environmental review be performed and a 

request for release of funds be completed and 

certified prior to the commitment of nonHUD funds to a project using HUD funds. 

Granted by: Susan D. Peppler, Assistant 

Secretary for Community Planning and 

Development. 

Date Granted: December 22, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was granted 

based on the following findings: The project 

will furthered the objective of providing 

community development; the errors made in 

the environmental process for the 

commitment of non-HUD funds were made 

in good faith and King County Housing 

Authority did not willfully violate the 

applicable regulations; no HUD funds were 

committed; and, an environmental 

assessment and a site visit by HUD staff 

concluded that the granting of the waiver 

will not result in any unmitigated, adverse 

environmental impact.

Environment and Energy, Office of

Development, 451 7th Street, SW., Room

telephone number (202) 402–4442. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 58.22(a). 

Project/Activity: On May 26, 2006, HUD 

received an application from Ponca Tribe of 

Nebraska for Indian Community 

Development Block Grant in the amount of 

$609,840 to acquire property and buildings to 

use for tribal program offices. Ponca Tribe’s 

intended use is to acquire property and 

buildings to develop a Ponca Family 

Resource Center to provide a new ‘‘one-stop’’ 

service delivery system to provide 

comprehensive, quality programs and 

services that concentrate on strengthening 

families through prevention modes spanning 

the entire human lifecycle in a culturally 

appropriate manner. On January 25, 2007, 

Ponca Tribe committed nonfederal funds to 

acquire the property and buildings, an action 

that limits the choice of reasonable 

alternatives, before receiving an approved 

Request for Release of Funds. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 58.22(a) requires that an 

environmental review be performed and a 

request for release of funds be completed and 

certified prior to the commitment of nonHUD funds to a project using HUD funds. 

Granted by: Susan D. Peppler, Assistant 

Secretary for Community Planning and 

Development. 

Date Granted: December 22, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was granted 

based on the following findings: The project 

furthered HUD’s program goal to develop 

viable Indian communities; the property was 

purchased in good faith and Ponca Tribe did 

not willfully violate the applicable 

regulations; no HUD funds were committed; 

and, an environmental assessment and a site 

visit by HUD staff concluded that the 

granting of the waiver will not result in any 

unmitigated, adverse environmental impact.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2). 

Project/Activity: The Commonwealth of 

Puerto Rico’s Community Development 

Block Grant Program. 

Nature of Requirement: The provisions of 

24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) require that a minimum 

of 30 days be allowed for public comment 

following an amendment to a state’s 

Consolidated Plan. 

Granted by: Susan D. Peppler, Assistant 

Secretary for Community Development and 

Planning. 

Date Granted: October 8, 2008. 

Reason Waived: A reduced public 

comment period from 30 days to 7 days 

would allow the State to implement the 

amendment to the 2008 method of 

distribution and annual action plan 

expeditiously and enable the Commonwealth 

to provide assistance to affected UGLGs for 

disaster recovery in a timely manner. The 

Commonwealth’s proposed amendment to 

reallocate recaptured funds or uncommitted 

funds for their current program year would 

provide the State with additional flexibility 

to address urgent needs quickly.

telephone number 202–402–2191. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 92.2 and 

92.254(b)(2). 

Project/Activity: Prince George’s County 

requested a waiver of the regulatory 

definitions of ‘‘reconstruction’’ and 

‘‘principal residence’’ to allow the County to 

assist an otherwise eligible homeowner 

whose home was demolished as the result of 

an environmental hazard. 

Nature of Requirement: The HOME 

regulations define ‘‘reconstruction’’ in part, 

as rebuilding on the same lot, of housing 

standing on a site at the time of project 

commitment. Additionally, under HUD’s 

regulations, housing owned by an incomeeligible individual qualifies as affordable 

housing only if the housing is the principal 

residence of the owner at time HOME funds 

are committed to the project. 

Granted by: Susan D. Peppler, Assistant 

Secretary for Community Planning and 

Development. 

Date Granted: December 17, 2008. 

Reason Waived: In early 2003, there was an 

oil spill at the homeowner’s residence. As a 

result, the homeowner and the homeowner’s 

family were unable to continue to live in the 

house and due to the nature of the spill, the 

home was condemned and demolished as an 

environmental hazard by the Maryland 

Department of Environment. The homeowner 

successfully sued the oil company but was 

not awarded sufficient damages to both 

remediate the hazard and reconstruct her 

home. The County wished to provide the 

homeowner with HOME funds to enable her 

to complete the restoration of her home and 

resume her residency there.

Director, Office of Affordable Housing

Development, Department of Housing and

telephone number 202–708–2470. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 92.252(e). 

Project/Activity: The State of Iowa 

Department of Economic Development 

(IDED) requested a waiver of the period of 

affordability for the Riverview Apartments in 

Coralville, Iowa, due to severe flooding that 

ended the useful life of the project. The 

participating jurisdiction would have been 

required to repay $141,893 in HOME funds 

because the project failed to meet the 

affordability period. 

Nature of Requirement: The HOME 

regulations at § 92.252(e) require a 5 year 

period of affordability for rehabilitation or 

acquisition for existing rental housing 

receiving less than $15,000 of HOME subsidy 

per unit. 

Granted by: Susan D. Peppler, Assistant 

Secretary for Community Planning and 

Development. 

Date Granted: December 16, 2008. 

Reason Waived: On June 13, 2008, severe 

flooding caused significant damage to 

Riverview Apartments, requiring all tenants 

to be relocated. At the time of the HOME 

investment, the properties were not located 

in a flood plan. Therefore flood insurance 

had not been secured. The bids to repair and 

refurbish the apartments exceeded 75% of 

the property value. Due to the severity of the 

damage to the property, rehabilitation was 

determined to be infeasible and the City of 

Coralville has denied issuance of a building 

permit. HUD has determined that due to the 

damage caused to the 16 HOME rental units 

by the June 13, 2008, flood, the project has 

no remaining useful life and that good cause 

existed to waive the affordability period 

requirement.

Director, Office of Affordable Housing

Development, Department of Housing and 

Urban Development, 451 7th Street, SW.,

telephone number 202–708–2470. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 92.500(d)(1)(B). 

Project/Activity: The Orange HOME 

Consortium—City of Orange, Texas, which is 

located within a presidentially-declared 

major disaster area pursuant to Title IV of the 

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 

Emergency Assistance Act, requested a 

waiver of its HOME Program commitment 

deadline requirement to facilitate its 

continued recovery from Hurricane Rita. 

Nature of Requirement: The HOME 

regulations at 24 CFR 92.500(d)(1)(B) require 

that a participating jurisdiction (PJ) commit 

its annual allocation of HOME funds within 

24 months after HUD notifies the PJ that HUD 

has executed the jurisdiction’s HOME 

Investment Partnership Agreement. HUD 

must deobligate any HOME funds that a PJ 

has not committed under a legally binding 

written agreement by the deadline. 

Granted by: Susan D. Peppler, Assistant 

Secretary for Community Planning and 

Development. 

Date Granted: October 15, 2008. 

Reason Waived: Hurricane Rita caused 

significant damage to structures throughout 


dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES2
11444 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 17, 2009 / Notices 

the Orange Consortium Area. In the City of 

Orange alone 97 homes were completely 

destroyed and 5,997 sustained damage. This 

unforeseen damage in the Consortium Area 

resulted in an increased workload for City 

staff. Subsequently, HOME program 

timelines were missed. Because of the 

program delays caused by the Hurricane Rita 

and the County’s need for funds to address 

storm-related damage, HUD determined that 

there was good cause to suspend the 

County’s commitment deadline requirement 

pursuant to Section 290 of the CranstonGonzalez National Affordable Housing Act as 

amended.

Director, Office of Affordable Housing

telephone number 202–708–2470. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2). 

Project/Activity: The State of Florida and 

its project sponsor AIDS Help, Inc. use 

HOPWA tenant-based rental assistance 

(TBRA) to provide support to eligible 

recipients in Monroe County and Key West. 

Nature of Requirement: The provisions of 

24 CFR 574.320(a) require that grant funds 

for rental assistance must be used in 

accordance with a rent standard that is no 

more than the published section 8 fair market 

rent or the HUD-approved community-wide 

exception rent for the unit size. On a unit by 

unit basis, the grantee may increase that 

amount by up to 10% for up to 20% of the 

units assisted. 

Granted by: Susan D. Peppler, Assistant 

Secretary for Community Planning and 

Development. 

Date Granted: January 16, 2009. 

Reason Waived: Current actual market 

rents far exceed fair market rents, so it is not 

possible for the grantee to procure rental 

units for eligible persons living with HIV/ 

AIDS. The grantee adequately documents 

that the rents presently charged and received 

for comparable units in the private 

unassigned market are at 145% of those 

authorized under the HOPWA regulation.

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 5.801. 

Project/Activity: Geneva Tower—Contract 

Numbers IA05–L000–001/IA05–M000–061, 

Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The owner submitted a 

written request to waive submission of 

annual financial statements for fiscal year 

ending July 31, 2008. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD regulations at 

24 CFR 5.801 implement uniform financial 

reporting standards for all HUD programs. 

Reports must be prepared in accordance with 

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as 

further defined by HUD in supplementary 

guidance, submitted electronically to HUD 

through the Internet with reporting 

compliance dates. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: November 10, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The regulation was waived 

because a finding was made that failure to 

comply with the regulation were due to 

reasons beyond the owner’s control. The 

property sustained flood damage on June 13, 

2008. This damage destroyed the financial 

and tenant records as well as the equipment 

on the first floor. This waiver is granted for 

a period of one year for this project only. 

Providing waiver of this regulation allowed 

the much needed affordable housing to be 

preserved.

number 202–708–3730. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 200.926d(f)(1)(i) and 

(2)(i). 

Project/Activity: Waiver applicable in the 

following boroughs of Alaska: Juneau, 

Mantanuska-Susitna, Anchorage, Bethel, 

North Slope (Barrow), Fairbanks (North Star 

and Southeast) and the Kenai Peninsula. 

Nature of Requirement: Existing 

regulations require that new construction, to 

be eligible for FHA insurance, must be 

capable of delivering a flow of 5 gallons per 

minute (GPM) over a 4 hour period in order 

to provide a continuing and sufficient supply 

of water. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: November 14, 2008. 

Reason Waived: Waiving the regulations 

was granted so that new construction in the 

above-referenced boroughs of Alaska would 

be able to rely upon alternative sources of 

water. The alternative sources of water would 

allow the properties to become eligible for 

FHA-insured financing that are otherwise 

acceptable under state and local codes and 

where it is not feasible to procure water from 

conventional water systems.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 200.926d(f)(1)(i) and 

(2)(i). 

Project/Activity: The waiver was requested 

for the following boroughs of Alaska: Juneau, 

Mantanuska-Susitna, Anchorage, Bethel, 

North Slope (Barrow), Fairbanks (North Star 

and Southeast) and the Kenai Peninsula. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulations 

at 24 CFR 200.926d(f)(1)(i) and (2)() require 

that new construction, to be eligible for FHA 

insurance, must be capable of delivering a 

flow of 5 gallons per minute (GPM) over a 4 

hour period in order to provide a continuing 

and sufficient supply of water. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: November 14, 2008. 

Reason Waived: Waiving the regulations so 

that new construction in the above 

referenced boroughs of Alaska can rely upon 

alternative sources of water would allow the 

properties to become eligible for FHAinsured financing that are otherwise 

acceptable under state and local codes and 

where it is not feasible to procure water from

• Regulation: 24 CFR 2063. 

Project/Activity: Home Equity Conversion 

Mortgages (HECM) originated by EverBank 

Mortgage between March 5, 2007 and April 

2, 2008. 

Nature of Requirement: Under the HECM 

program regulations, the expected average 

interest rate is used to calculate future 

payments to the HECM borrower by the 

establishment of the principal limit (future 

payments to the HECM borrower) and must 

be the same as the note interest rate. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: December 2, 2008. 

Reason Waived: EverBank Mortgage relied 

on guidance issued by FHA in Mortgagee 

Letters 2003–16 and 2006–22 but 

misinterpreted the requirement that the 

expected average mortgage interest rate must 

be the same as the HECM note interest rate. 

This misinterpretation resulted in EverBank 

originating 661 HECM loans where the 

expected average interest rate and the HECM 

note interest rate were different. It was 

determined that EverBank Mortgage’s 

interpretation that the mortgagee letters 

permitted it to use a note rate that differed 

from the expected average interest rate was 

made in good faith, and it was determined 

that it would have been inequitable to require 

EverBank to receive a lower interest rate for 

the loans originated between March 5, 2007 

and April 2, 2008.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 206.32(a). 

Project/Activity: Home Equity Conversion 

Mortgages (HECM) in Genesee County, 

Michigan. 

Nature of Requirement: Under the HECM 

program regulations, HECM borrowers may 

not incur additional debt in conjunction with 

HECM. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: November 24, 2008. 

Reason Waived: It was determined that the 

waiver would provide Metro Housing 

Partnership (MHP) of Genesee County, 


dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES2
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 17, 2009 / Notices 11445 

Michigan, with the authorization to provide 

secondary financing to eligible residents of 

Genesee County whose HECM proceeds are 

insufficient to satisfy existing property 

indebtedness or cover required expenses to 

secure the MHP loan.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b). 

Project/Activity: St. Anthony Place, 

Pocatello, Idaho—FHA Project Number 124– 

EH019. The property has 88 units and 

requires renovations to continue as a wellmaintained source of affordable housing. 

Refinancing will provide sufficient funds for 

needed capital improvements at the property. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 219.220(b) 

of HUD’s regulations, which 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: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: October 29, 2008. 

Reason Waived: This waiver was granted to 

allow the owner to amortize the flexible 

subsidy debt with the newly refinanced

• Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b). 

Project/Activity: The Russell House—FHA 

Project Number 051–EH013, Virginia Beach, 

Virginia. The property is a 119-unit Section 

202 property and is in need of repairs. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 219.220(b), 

which 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: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: November 4, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was granted to 

permit much needed repairs at the property. 

The owner planned to refinance the Section 

202 mortgage with a Section 223(f) insured 

loan; at initial closing of the new loan, the 

owner will pay all accrued interest and a 

one-time principal payment, reducing the 

balance and amortize the flexible subsidy 

debt with the newly refinanced mortgage. It 

was determined that these measures would 

allow the project to be maintained as much 

needed affordable housing.

Project/Activity: Genesee Gateway Houses 

(aka River Park Commons)—FHA Project 

Number 014–033NI, Rochester, New York. 

The Buffalo Multifamily Hub has requested 

waiver of the regulation to permit the 

continuation of Rental Assistance Payments 

after the payoff of the non-insured Section 

236 mortgage under a Section 236(e)(2) 

Decoupling transaction. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD regulations at 

24 CFR 236.725 requires that the rental 

assistance contract shall be limited to the 

term of the mortgage or 40 years from the 

date of the first payment made under the 

contract, whichever is the lesser. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: October 20, 2008. 

Reason Waived: This waiver was granted 

predicated on the continuation of the Rental 

Assistance Payment assistance and required 

the developer to record a Use Agreement 

requiring the property to be maintained as a 

Section 236 low-income housing resource for 

50 years from the closing of the Decoupling 

transaction. The Decoupling proposal plans 

for the demolition of the townhouse units, 

the relocation of all remaining residents, and 

the full renovation of the high-rise building.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.530 and 24 CFR 

891.205. 

Project/Activity: Rohlffs Memorial Manor— 

FHA Project Number 121–SH049, Napa 

California. The San Francisco Multifamily 

Hub has requested waiver of the requirement 

for nonprofit ownership of a Section 202 

Property and waiver of the transfer of 

physical assets requirement. 

Nature of Requirement: Under § 891.530, 

prepayment priviliges or the assignment or 

transfer of physical and financial assets of 

any Section 202 project is prohibited, unless 

HUD gives prior written approval. HUD may 

not grant approval unless it is determined 

that the loan is part of a transaction that will 

ensure the continued operation of the project 

until the original maturity date of the loan 

and at least as advantageous to existing and 

future tenants as the terms required by the 

original Section 202 loan agreement. 

Requirements set forth in § 891.205 apply to 

Section 202 Supportive Housing for the 

Elderly only and to applicants, sponsors and 

owners under that program. Section 891.205 

relates to the definition of nonprofit 

organization, eligible applicants, and 

requirements for the acquisition of existing 

housing and related facilities to be used as 

supportive housing for the elderly. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: October 16, 2008. 

Reason Waived: This waiver was granted to 

allow the property to transfer ownership of 

the property to a Low Income Housing Tax 

credit limited partnership and subordinate 

the existing Section 202 loan at the time of 

sale to make way for a new first lien mortgage 

tied to the issuance of the tax-exempt bonds. 

Subordination of the Section 202 loan will 

allow the new ownership entity to make 

needed capital improvements to the property. 

The property is not eligible to prepay under 

Notice H 2002–16, instead, the existing loan 

will continue to amortize and will be 

subordinate to new tax credit financing. 

Payments on the existing Section 202 loan 

will continue until the maturity date of 

February 1, 2016. The benefits to the 

residents upon completion of the sale 

include continued affordability of the 

property to the tenants until 2063, a new 20- 

year Section 8 contract for 16 units currently 

under the contract; and expansion of the 

Service Coordinator program to work with 

the residents and family members.

891.310(b)(1) requires Section 811 project 

entrances, common areas, units to be

must be readily accessible to and usable by 

persons with disabilities. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: December 25, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was granted 

because it was determined that one bedroom 

and all common areas would be fully 

accessible in one of the homes resulting in 

8 percent accessibility in the total property.

Project/Activity: Corinthian Arbors, 

Corinth, Mississippi—FHA Project Number 

065–EE001. The project is experiencing 

difficulty leasing units to the very lowincome elderly. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 

relates to admission of families to projects for 

elderly or handicapped families that receive 

reservations under Section 202 of the 

Housing Act of 1959, as amended by Section 

801 of the National Affordable Housing Act 

of 1990. Section 891.410(c) limits occupancy 

to very low-income elderly persons. To 

qualify, households must include a minimum 

of one person who is at least 62 years of age 

at the time of initial occupancy. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: November 24, 2008. 

Reason Waived: This waiver was granted to 

allow the managing agent to lease units to 

very low-income, near elderly applicants 

when there are no very low-income elderly 

applicants on the waiting list. Despite 

aggressive marketing the property continues 

to experience vacancies. It was determined 

that the waiver would allow stabilization of 

the project’s current financial status and 

prevent foreclosure of the property.

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery,

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: October 7, 2008. 

Reason Waived: This regulatory waiver 

was granted to allow the owner to stabilize 

the project’s current financial status and 

prevent foreclosure. It was determined that 

waiver of this regulation would permit 

admission of applicants who meet the 

definition of low-income, near elderly, 

enabling them to rent up the 13 vacant units 

currently existing at the property, and 

develop a waiting list. The commitment was 

made that first priority would be given to all 

qualified eligible applicants who meet the 

Section 202 very low-income guidelines.

Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 

relates to admission of families to projects for 

elderly or handicapped families that receive 

reservations under Section 202 of the 

Housing Act of 1959, as amended by Section 

801 of the National Affordable Housing Act 

of 1990. Section 891.410(c) limits occupancy

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: October 7, 2008. 

Reason Waived: This regulatory waiver 

was granted to assist the property with its 

current vacancy problems. There is 

insufficient demand to fill the units with 

very low-income elderly applicants. It was 

determined that the owner/managing agent 

would have the flexibility to lease to 

qualified low-income near elderly applicants 

only when there are no very low-income 

elderly applicants on the waiting list. The 

waiver was granted to allow the project to 

operate successfully and achieve full 

occupancy so that the project will not fail.

Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 

relates to admission of families to projects for 

elderly or handicapped families that receive 

reservations under Section 202 of the 

Housing Act of 1959, as amended by Section 

801 of the National Affordable Housing Act

to very low-income elderly persons. To 

qualify, households must include a minimum 

of one person who is at least 62 years of age 

at the time of initial occupancy. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: October 9, 2008. 

Reason Waived: Waiver of this requirement 

was granted to allow the owner/managing 

agent flexibility in renting up vacant units. 

At the time the waiver was requested, the 

property had 6 vacant units with no one on 

the waiting list. It was determined that 

providing a waiver of the very low-income

prevent foreclosure.

requested waiver of the age and income 

requirement for this Supportive Housing for

problems they are experiencing. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 

relates to admission of families to projects for

to very low-income elderly persons. To 

qualify, households must include a minimum 

of one person who is at least 62 years of age 

at the time of initial occupancy. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: December 3, 2008. 

Reason Waived: Waiver of this regulation 

was granted to allow the owner/managing 

agent to rent vacant units to applicants who 

are low-income and near-elderly. The owner/ 

managing agent has aggressively marketed 

the property with local housing authorities, 

news media, churches and various civic 

organizations. At the time the waiver was 

requested, the property had 3 vacant units 

and no waiting list. It was determined that 

providing for a waiver of this requirement 

would allow the project to stabilize its 

current financial status and prevent 

foreclosure.

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery,

Date Granted: December 3, 2008. 

Reason Waived: Waiver of the regulations 

governing age and income requirements was 

granted to permit admission of low-income,

to very low-income elderly persons. To 

qualify, households must include a minimum 

of one person who is at least 62 years of age 

at the time of initial occupancy. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: December 3, 2008. 

Reason Waived: Waiver of the regulations 

governing age and income requirements was 

granted to permit admission of low-income, 

near elderly applicants. The owner/managing 

agent was unable to attract very low-income 

elderly persons despite aggressive marketing 

efforts through the local authorities, media 

and community organizations. At the time 

the waiver was requested, the property had 

50 percent occupancy and was unable to 

maintain proper functioning of the project. It 

was determined that providing a waiver 

would allow the owner to rent up vacant 

units, thereby stabilizing the project’s current 

financial status and prevent foreclosure.

demand to fill vacancies with very lowincome elderly applicants. The owner/ 

managing agent continued to market the

Nature of Requirement: Section 891.830(b) 

requires that capital advance funds be drawn 

down only in an approved ratio to other 

funds in accordance with a drawndown 

schedule approved by HUD. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: November 25, 2008. 

Reason Waived: In order to limit the outof-pocket interest costs of the mixed-financed 

owner, the waiver was granted to permit the 

capital advance funds to be drawn down 

using a different mechanism, than a pro rata 

basis. With this approval, the mixed-finance 

owner was able to keep the undisbursed 

bond proceeds invested, and the interest 

earned on the investment will be used to 

offset the interest that is accruing on the taxexempt bonds, thereby reducing the cost to 

develop the project.

the description of the waiver granted. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801. 

Project/Activity: New York City 

Department of Housing Preservation and 

Development, (NY110), New York, NY. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 5.801 establishes certain reporting 

compliance dates. The audited financial 

statements are required to be submitted to the 

Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) no 

later than 9 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: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: October 15, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the Uniform Financial Reporting 

Standards (UFRS) audited electronic 

submission requirements for the Financial 

Assessment Subsystem (FASS) for FYE 

December 31, 2007, and December 31, 2008, 

since the City of New York has a June 30 

FYE. The HA was approved for a FYE change 

to June 30 to correspond with the City of 

New York FYE. Because, the HA is a Section 

8 only entity and is part of the City of New 

York, the waiver grants the HA additional 

time to submit its FYE December 31, 2007, 

audited financial data by not later than 

March 31, 2009, and it’s audited financial 

data for the period of January 1, 2008 through 

June 30, 2009, by no later than March 31, 

2010.

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the 

City of Rockwall, Rockwall, TX. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 5.801 establishes certain reporting 

compliance dates. The audited financial 

statements are required to be submitted to the 

Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) no 

later than 9 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: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: October 16, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HA’s audited 

financial submission for FYE September 30, 

2007, was rejected by the Financial 

Assessment Subsystem (FASS) staff and the 

HA was given 15 days to correct and 

resubmit the financial data. The HA made the 

corrections but failed to ‘‘click’’ the submit 

button. As a result, the submission was not 

electronically submitted to the REAC by the 

resubmission due date causing the HA to 

receive a Late Presumptive Failure (LPF) 

score of zero. The waiver granted 

invalidation of the LPF and resubmission of 

the audited financial data.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801. 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the 

City of Stanton, Stanton, TX. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 5.801 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: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: November 14, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HA’s audited 

financial data for FYE December 31, 2007, 

was completed and inputted into the on-line 

system and ready for auditor review. The 

auditor was unable to complete the agreed 

upon procedure portion of the financial 

submission due to system access problems 

that could not be corrected in time because 

the HA’s Executive Director broke her leg just 

two weeks prior to the audited financial 

submission due date resulting in the HA 

receiving a Late Presumptive Failure (LPF) 

score of zero for its financial submission. The 

waiver was granted because the 

circumstances that prevented the HA from 

submitting the audited financial data by the 

due date were beyond the control of the HA.

2007, was rejected by the Financial

Authority, Amsterdam, NY. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 5.801 establishes certain reporting 

compliance dates. The audited financial 

statements are required to be submitted to the 

Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) no 

later than 9 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: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: November 26, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HA was unaware that 

their auditor was under a suspension order 

from the New York State Board of Public 

Accountants. The suspension prohibits 

auditors from providing audits or attesting 

under Government Accounting Standards. 

Subsequently, the HA retained a new auditor. 

The waiver was granted because the 

circumstances preventing resubmission by 

the due date were beyond the control of the 

HA.

Date Granted: December 4, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HA audited financial 

submission for FYE December 31, 2007, was 

rejected by the Financial Assessment 

Subsystem (FASS) staff and the HA was 

given 15 days to correct and resubmit the 

financial data. However, as result of a 

technical computer problem, corrections and 

the resubmission were not submitted to the 

REAC by the due date causing the HA to 

receive a Late Presumptive Failure (LPF) 

score of zero. The waiver was granted 

because the circumstances that prevented the 

HA from resubmitting were beyond the 

control of the HA.

payment standard for a family as a reasonable 

accommodation if the higher payment 

standard is within the basic range of 90 to 

110 percent of the fair market rent (FMR) for 

the unit size. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: October 17, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HACLA requested a 

waiver regarding exception payment 

standards so that it could provide a 

reasonable accommodation to persons with 

disabilities. The participant is a 19-year-old 

woman that is the legal guardian of her five 

siblings including one, a nine-year-old 

disabled child with Downs Syndrome who 

needs to remain in his current unit as it is 

well suited to accommodating his disability. 

She was also paying approximately 65 

percent of the family’s adjusted income 

toward her share of the rent as a result of a 

large rent increase. To provide a reasonable 

accommodation so that this participant 

would pay no more than 40 percent of her 

adjusted income toward the family share, the 

HACLA was allowed to approve an exception 

payment standard that exceeded the basic 

range of 90 to 110 percent of the FMR.

(HAP) contracts during calendar year 2009 

due to insufficient funding. The waiver was 

granted because this cost-saving measure 

would enable the BCHA to both manage its 

Housing Choice Voucher program within 

allocated budget authority and avoid the 

termination of HAP contracts due to 

insufficient funding.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(d). 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of 

Thurston County (HATC), Olympia, WA. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 982.505(d) states that a public 

housing agency may only approve a higher 

payment standard for a family as a reasonable 

accommodation if the higher payment 

standard is within the basic range of 90 to 

110 percent of the fair market rent (FMR) for 

the unit size. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: December 23, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HATC requested a 

waiver regarding exception payment 

standards so that it could provide a 

reasonable accommodation to a person with 

disabilities. The participant, who is unable to 

walk, was unable to search for a new unit as 

documented by her health care provider. 

Consequently, the participant was paying 

over 75 percent of her monthly adjusted 

income toward her family share. To provide 

a reasonable accommodation so participant 

payment was no more than 40 percent of her 

adjusted income, the HALC was allowed to 

approve an exception payment standard that 

exceeded the basic range of 90 to 110 percent 

of the FMR.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(d). 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of 

Lincoln County (HALC), Newport, OR. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 982.505(d) states that a public 

housing agency may only approve a higher 

payment standard for a family as a reasonable 

accommodation if the higher payment 

standard is within the basic range of 90 to 

110 percent of the fair market rent (FMR) for 

the unit size. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: October 2, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HAS requested a 

waiver of requirements regarding the 

Agreement to Enter Into a Housing 

Assistance Payments (HAP) Contract 

(Agreement) to permit it to continue rental 

assistance under a HAP contract for 

Verandah Apartments. The waiver was 

granted since the project was financed with 

a FHA 221(d)(4) insured mortgage and the 

financing source was subject to the same 

requirements as the Agreement. The Georgia 

Office of Multifamily Housing verified that 

the property complied with the requirements 

of the Agreement.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 984.303(b)(2). 

Project/Activity: State of California 

Department of Housing and Community 

Development; Sacramento, CA. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s Family SelfSufficiency (FSS) program regulation at 24 

CFR 984.303(b)(2) requires each FSS family 

that is receiving welfare assistance have an 

interim goal of being welfare-free for at least 

one year before the expiration of the term of 

their FSS Contract of Participation. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: December 30, 2008. 

Reason Waived: Although the FSS program 

participant was welfare-free and had 

complied with all other aspects of her FSS 

Contract of Participation, serious health 

problems prevented her from completing the 

interim goal within the term of her FSS 

contract. The waiver allowed the participant 

to receive the FSS escrow funds that were 

calculated based on the increases in her 

earned income during the term of her FSS 

contract.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 990.185(a). 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the 

County of Chester (HACC), West Chester, PA. 

Nature of Requirement: The Energy Policy 

Act of 2005 amended Section 9(e)(2)(C) of the 

Housing Act of 1937 by changing the contract 

period from 12 to 20 years, yet HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 990.185(a) had not yet 

conformed to the amended statutory period 

and continued to present a maximum period 

of 12 years. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: November 21, 2008. 

Reason Waived: HACC was undertaking an 

energy project and anticipated energy 

conservation measures whose life cycle 

expectations and costs were expected to 

exceed the 12-year regulatory limitation in 24 

CFR 990.185(a). Based upon anticipated 

savings and benefits to HACC and its 

residents, the waiver was granted to allow a 

longer payback period, contingent on HUD’s 

provisions.

telephone number 202–708–0744. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 990.315. 

Project/Activity: San Francisco Housing 

Authority (SFHA), San Francisco, CA. 

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

requires timely submission of operating 

budgets for HUD approval. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: November 24, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The deadline requirement 

was waived and extended because HUD 

requested revised alignments of asset 

management projects, causing re-negotiation 

of labor agreements simultaneously with the 

appointment of a new Executive Director.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 1000.224. 

Project/Activity: Village of Stony River, 

Alaska. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 1000.224 provides authority to 

waive Indian Housing Plan (IHP) 

requirements when there are circumstances 

beyond the control of the Tribe. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: November 21, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The Alaska Village 

Council of Presidents Regional Housing 

Authority (AVCPRHA) is the Tribally 

designated housing entity (TDHE) for 48 

Tribes, including the Stony River Traditional 

Council (SRTC). AVCPRHA attempted to 

obtain tribal certification from SRTC for the 

FY 2008 IHP, but was unsuccessful due to 

lack of a legal quorum of SRTC for the past 

9 months. Tribal certification was waived so 

to reserve $73,786 for the Village of Stony 

River.
