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 waiver-grant 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.

                             HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 576.21(b)(2) imposes the statutory requirement that no more than thirty percent of the Emergency Shelter Grant funds be expended for essential services.

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. *Contact:*

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:*

                             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. *Contact:*

                             HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 891.100(d) prohibits amendment of the amount of approved capital advance funds prior to initial closing. *Granted By:*

                             October 16, 2000. *Reason Waived:*
                             The project was economically designed, comparable in cost to similar projects, and the Sponsor could not contribute any additional funds. *Contact:*

                             Ronald Wallace, Field Asset Management Division, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 6176, Washington, DC 20410-3600; telephone: (202) 708-3730, ext. 2590. *Regulation:*24 CFR 891.575 and 891.610(c). *Project/Activity:*
                             Oak Hills Senior Housing, Green Forest, Arkansas, Project Number: 082-EE73. The Little Rock Multifamily Program Center requested an income and age waiver for the subject project to alleviate vacancy problems. *Nature of Requirement:*
                             HUD regulations in 24 CFR 891.575 and 891.610(c) limit occupancy to very low-income (VLI) elderly persons (
                            *i.e.,*

                            ( print page 23527) *Granted By:*
                             William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing Commissioner. *Date Granted:*
                             October 24, 2000. *Reason Waived:*
                             The Assistant Secretary granted this waiver based on management's inability to rent up its vacant units. An age waiver has been granted to allow flexibility in marketing the vacant units to low income elderly and start a waiting list for the project. *Contact:*
                             Cindy Bridges, Field Asset Management Division, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20410-3600; telephone: (202) 708-3730, ext. 2603.

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:*

                             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. *Contact:*

                            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:*

                             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. *Contact:*

                            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. *Contact:*

                            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 HUD-approved 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

                            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. *Contact:*

                            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. *Contact:*

                            Portsmouth Metropolitan Housing Authority, OH.

                            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. *Contact:*
