Calendar Year 2000

AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel,

HUD.

ACTION: Public Notice of the granting of

through December 31, 2000.

SUMMARY: Section 106 of the Department

of Housing and Urban Development

Reform Act of 1989 (the ‘‘HUD Reform

Act’’), requires HUD to publish

quarterly Federal Register notices of all

regulatory waivers that HUD has

approved. Each notice must cover the

quarterly period since the most recent

Federal Register notice. The purpose of

this notice is to comply with the

requirements of section 106 of the HUD

Reform Act. This notice contains a list

of regulatory waivers granted by HUD

during the quarter beginning on October

1, 2000 and ending on December 31,

2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

General Counsel for Regulations, Room

10282, Department of Housing and

Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street,

SW, Washington, DC 20410; telephone

number). Hearing or speech-impaired

persons may access this number via

TTY by calling the toll-free Federal

Information Relay Service at 1–800–

For information concerning a

particular waiver action for which

public notice is provided in this

document, contact the person whose

name and address follow the

description of the waiver granted in the

accompanying list of waiver-grant

actions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of

the Housing and Urban Development

Reform Act of 1989 (the ‘‘HUD Reform

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

request, legislation to limit and control

the granting of regulatory waivers by

HUD. Section 106 of the HUD Reform

Act added a new section 7(q) to the

Department of Housing and Urban

Development Act (2 U.S.C. 3535(q)),

which provides that:

1. Any waiver of a regulation must be

in writing and must specify the grounds

for approving the waiver;

2. Authority to approve a waiver of a

regulation may be delegated by the

Secretary only to an individual of

Assistant Secretary rank or equivalent

rank, and the person to whom authority

to waive is delegated must also have

authority to issue the particular

regulation to be waived;

3. Not less than quarterly, the

Secretary must notify the public of all

waivers of regulations that HUD has

approved, by publishing a notice in the

Federal Register. These notices (each

covering the period since the most

recent previous notification) shall:

a. Identify the project, activity, or

undertaking involved;

b. Describe the nature of the provision

waived, and the designation of the

provision;

c. Indicate the name and title of the

person who granted the waiver request;

d. Describe briefly the grounds for

approval of the request;

e. State how additional information

about a particular waiver grant action

may be obtained.

Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act

also contains requirements applicable to

waivers of HUD handbook provisions

that are not relevant to the purpose of

this notice.

Today’s document follows

publication of HUD’s Statement of

Policy on Waiver of Regulations and

Directives issued by HUD on April 22,

1991 (56 FR 16337). This notice covers

HUD’s waiver-grant activity from

October 1, 2000 through December 31,

2000. Additionally, this notice contains

three reports on regulatory waivers

granted during 1999, which were

inadvertently omitted in the 1999

reports. These reports can be found in

Section IV of this notice.

For ease of reference, the waivers

granted by HUD are listed by HUD

program office (for example, the Office

of Community Planning and

Development, the Office of Housing, the

Office of Public and Indian Housing,

etc.). Within each program office

grouping, the waivers are listed

sequentially by the section of title 24

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

provision in 24 CFR part 58 would come

before a waiver of a provision in 24 CFR

part 570.

Where more than one regulatory

provision is involved in the grant of a

particular waiver request, the action is

listed under the section number of the

first regulatory requirement in title 24

that is being waived as part of the

waiver-grant action. For example, a

waiver of both § 58.73 and § 58.74

would appear sequentially in the listing

under § 58.73.

Waiver-grant actions involving the

same initial regulatory citation are in

time sequence beginning with the

earliest-dated waiver grant action.

Should HUD receive additional

reports of waiver actions taken during

the period covered by this report before

the next report is published, the next

updated report will include these earlier

actions, as well as those that occurred

between January 1, 2001 through March

30, 2001.

Accordingly, information about

approved waiver requests pertaining to

HUD regulations is provided in the

Appendix that follows this notice.

Dated: May 2, 2001.

George Weidenfeller,

Deputy General Counsel for Housing Finance

and Operations.

II. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office

of Community Planning and Development

and the Office of Public and Indian Housing

For further information about the following

waiver actions, please see the name of the

contact person which immediately follows

the description of the waiver granted.

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

58.38.

Project/Activity: Renovation of an existing

community building with Indian Community

Development Block Grant funds, Menominee

Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at § 58.34(b) states that a recipient does not

have to submit a Request for Release of

Funds and Certification, and no further

approval from HUD will be needed to carry

out exempt activities and projects, provided

the responsible entity documents its

determination that each activity or project is

exempt. Additionally, § 58.38 requires the

responsible entity to maintain a written

record of the environmental review for each

project. This document will be designated

the Environmental Review Record, which

shall contain all environmental review

documents, public notices and written

determinations or environmental findings

required by Part 58 as evidence of review,

decision making and actions pertaining to a

particular project.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development, and Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: October 19, 2000

Reason Waived: The Tribe made an error

during the 24 CFR part 58 environmental

review and clearance process for the subject

project in that it obligated the expenditure of

HUD funds prior to a determination by the

Tribe that the project was exempt pursuant

to 24 CFR 58.34(a)(12). HUD made a

determination that there was no statutory or

regulatory provision that would have

prevented conversion of these activities to

exempt. Therefore, this waiver is needed in

order to permit the Tribe to complete the

environmental review process by

documenting that the activities are exempt

under 24 CFR Part 58, after the obligation of

HUD funds. HUD also determined that no

environmental degradation resulted from the

regulatory noncompliance and that no

mitigation activities would be necessary

since no environmental damage or potential

problems were identified. Considering the

above, HUD determined that a waiver of the

regulatory requirements would maintain the

integrity of HUD’s environmental review

process and was consistent with Executive

Order 12084 that encourages flexibility in the

consideration of waiver requests from tribal

governments.

Grants Evaluation, Office of Public and

1600.

III. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the

Office of Housing

For further information about the following

waiver actions, please see the name of the

contact person which immediately follows

the description of the waiver granted.

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

Project/Activity: To raise the threshold for

placing a HUD/FHA approved lender on

Credit Watch status when its default and

claim rate exceeds the HUD Field Office

default and claim rate.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

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

Secretary may notify a mortgagee that it is on

credit watch status if the mortgagee had a

rate of defaults and claims on insured

mortgages originated in an area which

exceeded 150 percent, but not 200 percent,

of the normal rate.

Granted By: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: November 27, 2000.

Reason Waived: Waiving the regulation

permits HUD/FHA to initially focus on those

lenders originating the worst performing

loans. The waiver will adjust the Credit

Watch threshold from being between 150%

and 200.9% of the HUD field office default

and claim rate to being between 200% and

300.9% of that rate. This waiver is limited to

Credit Watch reviews conducted in the

fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2000.

Contact: Joy Hadley, Director, Quality

Assurance Division, Department of Housing

and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street

SW, Room B133–P3214, Washington, DC

• Regulation: 24 CFR 203.21.

Project/Activity: Maryland Department of

Housing and Community Development

‘‘Homeownership Opportunities for

Teachers.’’

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulations

at 24 CFR 203.21 require that the mortgage

payments due each month be substantially

the same. This regulation would have

precluded the ability of the applicant to offer

a product designed to reward Maryland

public school teachers that would remain

within the system for at least three years and

results in an increased mortgage interest rate

should the homebuyer not remain employed

by the Maryland public schools.

Granted By: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: November 2, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined that

there was good cause for the waiver. The

proposal allows the Maryland Department of

Housing and Community Development to

provide more affordable payments for

qualified homebuyers during the life of the

mortgage provided that they remain within

the Maryland public schools for at least three

years from the date of the mortgage note.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c).

Project/Activity: Palouse Cove Apartments,

Palouse, Washington, Project Number: 171–

EE010. The Northwest/Alaska Multifamily

Hub requested waiver of this regulation due

to the project’s initial rent-up starting in

December 1998 achieving only 55 percent

occupancy to date.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at 24 CFR 891.410(c) limits occupancy to

very low-income (VLI) elderly persons, (i.e.,

households of one or more persons at least

one of whom is 62 years of age at the time

of initial occupancy).

Granted By: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: October 24, 2000.

Reason Waived: The Assistant Secretary

approved an income waiver for this project

due to the remote location of the project,

which has caused vacancy problems and has

resulted in an accumulation of unpaid

expenses. This waiver will allow elderly and

near elderly families who are at or over age

55 and low income to apply for admission,

thereby attempting to improve occupancy

rates. This waiver is effective for one year

from the date of approval.

Granted By: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: November 3, 2000.

Project/Activity: Romney Unity

Apartments, Romney, West Virginia, Project

Number: 045–EH095. The Charleston

Multifamily Program Center has requested an

income waiver for the project due to vacancy

problems.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at 24 CFR 891.410(c) limits occupancy to

very low-income (VLI) elderly persons, (i.e.,

households of one or more persons at least

one of whom is 62 years of age at the time

of initial occupancy).

Granted By: William C. Apgar, Assistant

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing

Commissioner.

Date Granted: November 3, 2000.

Reason Waived: The Assistant Secretary

granted waiver of this restriction because the

market in the area continues to be soft and

the potential for renting to low income

persons appears to be good. Therefore,

waiver of this regulation will allow the

leasing of units to low income households

and avert future vacancy problems.

Commissioner.

Date Granted: November 3, 2000.

Reason Waived: The Assistant Secretary for

Date Granted: December 18, 2000.

Reason Waived: The Assistant Secretary

V. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office

of Public and Indian Housing

For further information about the following

waiver actions, please see the name of the

contact person which immediately follows

the description of the waiver granted.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 761.30(B).

Project/Activity: Waiver of 24 CFR

761.30(b) was requested to extend the PHDEP

1997 grant for the San Francisco Housing

Authority, CA 01 DEP 001 0198, San

Francisco, California.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at 24 CFR 761.30(b) provides that terms of

the grant agreement may not exceed 12

months for the Assisted Housing Program,

and 24 months for the Public Housing

Program, unless an extension is approved by

the local HUD Office or local HUD Office of

Native American Programs. This section also

provides that the maximum extension that

may be approved by the local offices is 6

months.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: August 4, 2000.

Reason Waived: The SFHA has indicated

that their inability to execute a Service

Agreement was hindered by local politics

and the fact that the San Francisco Police

Department (SFPD) is under contract for

above base-line services through PHDEP

funds. As a result the SFHA utilizes a pool

of private security contractors who are

governed by State Law in lieu of individual

Policy Manuals, which is unique to

California. The SFHA is requesting a

continuation of the previous waivers for the

Fiscal Years 1997 and 1998 as the existing

Policy Manual is still in effect for the Fiscal

Year 1999 PHDEP grant.

Contact: Sonia L. Burgos, Director,

Community Safety and Conservation

Division, Department of Housing and Urban

Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Rm.

4206, Washington, DC 20410–5000,

telephone (202) 708–1197.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.5(b)(2).

Project/Activity: Princeville Housing

Authority, Princeville, NC.

Nature of Requirement: The regulation

requires the public housing agency to submit

data for evaluation by HUD, Public Housing

Assessment System (PHAS), after which a

score is issued rating the agencies

performance during the prior year.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary, Office of Public and Indian

Housing.

Date Granted: December 20, 2000.

Reason Waived: Approval of waiver

permitted the PHA not to be assessed by the

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS)

score for Fiscal Year 2000. All PHA housing

stock and agency records were destroyed by

Hurricane Floyd. The limited financial data

would not be suitable for scoring and all

units were demolished and tenants relocated.

PHAS Operations, Office of Troubled Agency

• Regulation: 24 CFR 954.500(c).

Project/Activity: Partial financing to

purchase 37 housing units under the Indian

HOME Program, Absentee Shawnee Tribe of

Oklahoma.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at § 954.500(c) directs HUD to recapture

HOME funds that are not expended within 5

years after the last day of the month in which

it obligated the funds.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: December 5, 2000.

Reason Waived: The Absentee Shawnee

Tribe of Oklahoma believed that with the

advent of the new Native American Housing

Assistance and Self-Determination Act of

1996 (NAHASDA) their HOME grant funds

would be considered NAHASDA funds under

Title II Section 210 of that act. It was not

until the publication of the Transition Notice

on January 27, 1998, were tribes informed

that HOME grants were to continue to be

administered by the statutes authorizing this

program. In addition, the Tribe also

experienced difficulties in constructing two

modular homes on trust property in

Oklahoma.

Grants Evaluation, Office of Native American

Programs, Office of Public and Indian

Housing, Department of Housing and Urban

Development, 1999 Broadway, Suite 3390,

Box 90 Denver, CO 80202, (303) 675–1600.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 954.500(c).

Project/Activity: Construction of 11 homes

with Indian HOME Program funds, Pascua

Yaqui Tribe, Tucson, AZ.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

at § 954.500(c) directs HUD to recapture

HOME funds that are not expended within 5

years after the last day of the month in which

it obligated the funds.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: November 27, 2000.

Reason Waived: The waiver was granted

for the following reasons: a significant

amount of key administrative staff turnover;

termination of a contract with the original

architectural firm; difficulty in obtaining

clear title to city-surplus, non-trust properties

where the homes are to be located; and a

need to have the construction plans and

zoning variances approved by various

municipalities in which the constructed

homes will be located.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.503(a)(3), (c)(1),

and (c)(4).

Project/Activity: Bridgeport Housing

Authority (BHA) and the Connecticut,

Department of Social Services (CDSS), CT,

housing choice voucher program. A request

was made for a waiver of the payment

standard schedule regulations regarding the

approval and use of exception payment

standard amounts to allow the BHA and

CDSS to establish exception payment

standard amounts for 189 families displaced

from Pequonnock Apartments and a separate

payment standard amount for all other

housing choice voucher participants.

Pequonnock Apartments is a two-building

high-rise public housing complex that is

being transferred to the City for development.

Nature of Requirement: The regulation

provides that a public housing agency (PHA)

must establish a single payment standard

amount for each unit size. Further, when

HUD approves an exception payment

standard amount, a PHA with jurisdiction in

the exception area may use the HUDapproved exception payment standard

amount. In addition, the regulation requires

approval of 120 percent payment standard

amounts for six months before the approval

of higher payment standard amounts.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: November 6, 2000.

Reason Waived: Approval of the waivers

will permit 189 public housing residents

affected by the disposition of Pequonnock

Apartments to relocate with housing choice

voucher program assistance in low poverty

areas both within the City of Bridgeport and

23532 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 89 / Tuesday, May 8, 2001 / Notices

in surrounding communities in which

utilization of housing choice vouchers has

historically been limited.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 983.151(b).

Project/Activity: City of Fulton, New York,

project-based certificate program.

Nature of Requirement: The regulation

provides that the initial housing assistance

payments (HAP) contract term may not be

less than one year.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: December 18, 2000.

Reason Waived: Approval of the waiver

permitted the City of Fulton to proceed with

its plans to undertake a 12-unit PBC project

for the elderly and to enable the City to enter

into a HAP contract with an initial term for

less than one year.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 984.303(b)(2).

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the

City of Alameda, California; Family SelfSufficiency (FSS) Program.

Nature of Requirement: PHAs are required

to establish an interim goal for each FSS

family that is receiving welfare. The required

interim goal is for the family to remain

independent from welfare assistance for at

least one year before expiration of the term

of the family’s FSS program contract of

participation.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: November 28, 2000.

Reason Waived: The FSS program

participant had completed all other FSS

program goals, and was unable to remain in

the FSS program for a full year after her

independence from welfare assistance

because of a documented family emergency

that required her to end her participation in

the Section 8 program of the PHA.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 990.107(f) and

990.109.

Project/Activity: Portsmouth Metropolitan

Housing Authority, OH. A request was made

to permit the Authority to benefit from

energy performance contracting for

developments which have tenant-paid

utilities. The HA estimates that it could

increase savings substantially if it were able

to undertake energy performance contracting

for both PHA-paid and tenant-paid utilities.

Nature of Requirement: Under 24 CFR 990,

the Performance Funding System (PFS)

energy conservation incentive, that relates to

energy performance contracting, currently

applies to only PHA-paid utilities. The

Portsmouth Metropolitan Housing Authority

has both PHA-paid and tenant-paid utilities.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: October 6, 2000.

Reason Waived: In September 1996, the

Oakland Housing Authority was granted a

waiver to permit the Authority to benefit

from energy performance contracting for

developments with tenant-paid utilities. The

waiver was granted on the basis that the

Authority presented a sound and reasonable

methodology for doing so. The Portsmouth

Metropolitan Housing Authority requested a

waiver based on the same approved

methodology. The waiver permits the HA to

exclude from its PFS calculation of rental

income, increased rental income due to the

difference between updated baseline utility

(before implementation of the energy

conservation measures) and revised

allowances (after implementation of the

measures) for the project(s) involved for the

duration of the contract period, which cannot

exceed 12 years.

applies to only PHA-paid utilities. The

Tallahassee Housing Authority has both

PHA-paid and tenant-paid utilities.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: December 27, 2000.

Reason Waived: In September 1996, the

Oakland Housing Authority was granted a

waiver to permit the Authority to benefit

from energy performance contracting for

developments with tenant-paid utilities. The

waiver was granted on the basis that the

Authority presented a sound and reasonable

methodology for doing so. The Tallahassee

Housing Authority requested a waiver based

on the same approved methodology. The

waiver permits the HA to exclude from its

PFS calculation of rental income, increased

rental income due to the difference between

updated baseline utility (before

implementation of the energy conservation

measures) and revised allowances (after

implementation of the measures) for the

project(s) involved for the duration of the

contract period, which cannot exceed 12

years.
