2000

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION: Public Notice of the Granting of

Regulatory Waivers from July 1, 2000

through September 30, 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 July 1,

2000 and ending on September 30,

2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

general information about this notice,

contact Camille E. Acevedo, Associate

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

or speech-impaired persons may access

this number via TTY by calling the tollfree Federal Information Relay Service

at 1–800–877–8391.

For information concerning a

particular waiver action for which

public notice is provided in this

document, contact the person whose

name and address follows 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 (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 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 July 1,

2000 through September 30, 2000.

Additionally, this notice contains one

report of a regulatory waiver granted

from March 1, 2000 through June 30,

2000 that was inadvertently omitted

from the last notice. The report can be

found in Section IV of this notice with

respect to a waiver granted in

connection with 24 CFR 950.980.

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 October 1, 2000 through

December 31, 2000.

Accordingly, information about

approved waiver requests pertaining to

HUD regulations is provided in the

Appendix that follows this notice.

Dated: January 10, 2001.

Andrew Cuomo,

Secretary.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 58.34(b) and 24

CFR 58.38.

Project/Activity: Housing

rehabilitation and housing acquisition

projects, Ohkay Owingeh Housing

Authority and the San Juan Pueblo

Tribe, San Juan Pueblo, New Mexico.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s

regulation at 24 CFR 58.34(b) states that

a recipient does not have to submit a

Request for Release of Funds and

certification, and that 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 12 / Thursday, January 18, 2001 / Notices 5377

Additionally, 24 CFR 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, decision

making and actions pertaining to a

particular project.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development.

Date Granted: July 28, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined that

there was good cause for the waiver.

The Ohkay Owingeh Housing Authority

made several errors during the

environmental review and clearance

process required by 24 CFR part 58 that

resulted in the Housing Authority

obligating and expending grant funds

for the project before a determination by

the San Juan Pueblo that the activities

were exempt. 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 was needed in order to

permit the San Juan Pueblo 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.

to use HOME funds for acquisition of a

parcel of land located within its

boundaries, but owned by Salt Lake

County. The City plans to move an

existing home on the subject site which

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 92.251.

Project/Activity: North Dakota

counties and Indian reservation

communities requested a waiver of the

HOME provision which requires HOMEassisted housing to meet the applicable

codes, standards, and ordinances

specified.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s

regulation at 24 CFR 92.251 requires

that housing that is constructed or

rehabilitated with HOME funds must

meet all applicable local codes,

rehabilitation standards, ordinances,

and zoning ordinances at the time of

project completion.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development.

Date Granted: August 31, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined that

there was good cause for the waiver.

The State of North Dakota requested this

waiver in order to allow for the use of

HOME funds for emergency repairs on

damaged housing within the disaster

area. Funding sources are inadequate to

address the housing needs that exist

within the disaster area. The State

would like to use HOME funds to assist

in addressing this need. HUD therefore

determined that this provision creates

undue hardship for the communities

and families in need of disaster-related

assistance.

there was good cause for the waiver.

The City is a new Entitlement

community. Failure to grant the waiver

would result in undue hardship and

affect the benefits to the low- and

waiver of the limitation on the initial

Gross Rent for a Single Room

Occupancy (SRO) property. The

proposed rent would exceed the current

Moderate Rehabilitation SRO Fair

Market Rent (FMR) by more than 10%.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development.

Date Granted: September 5, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined that

there was good cause for the waiver.

a waiver of the Single Room Occupancy

(SRO) requirement on the maximum

amount allowed per unit for

rehabilitation.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s

regulation at 24 CFR 882.805(d)(1)(ii)(B)

allows an SRO recipient to multiply the

maximum per unit rehabilitation

amount by 2.4 in areas where the

Housing Authority has demonstrated to

HUD’s satisfaction that the increase is

reasonable to accommodate special local

conditions, including high construction

costs. In the case of San Francisco, this

would allow a maximum rehabilitation

costs of $42,840.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development.

Date Granted: August 30, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined that

there was good cause for the waiver.

The City documented the high cost of

the project and the difficulty in finding

and acquiring suitable properties for the

SRO program. The City further stated

that the property is almost 90 years old

and needs extensive rehabilitation to

meet current building and accessibility

code standards. The final per unit

rehabilitation cost for this project is

projected to be $69,311, well above the

maximum approvable cost.

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 person which immediately

follows the description of the waiver

granted.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 50.3(h)(3) and

1000.20(a).

Project/Activity: Acquisition of 10

Operation Walking Shield housing

units, Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe and

Flandreau Santee Sioux Housing

Authority, Flandreau, South Dakota.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s

regulation at § 50.3(h) requires that for

HUD grant programs in which funding

approval for an applicant’s program

must occur before the applicant’s

selection of properties an applicant

must agree to not acquire, rehabilitate,

convert, lease, repair or construct

property, nor commit or expend HUD or

local funds until HUD approval of the

property is obtained. HUD’s regulation

at § 1000.20(a) requires an

environmental review be completed for

any Native American Housing

Assistance and Self-Determination Act

project not excluded from review before

a recipient may acquire, rehabilitate,

convert, lease, repair or construct

property, or commit HUD or local funds.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development and Harold Lucas,

Assistant Secretary for Public and

Indian Housing.

Date Granted: July 31, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined that

there was good cause for the waiver.

The Flandreau Santee Sioux Housing

Authority used NAHASDA funds to

acquire, rehabilitate and lease the

subject Walking Shield units before

receiving HUD approval of the property

as required by 24 CFR 50.3(h)(3) and

before HUD completed an

environmental review. HUD has since

completed the environmental review for

the project. In order to satisfactorily

resolve the issue, waivers of the

provisions of 24 CFR 50.3(h)(3) and

1000.20(a) are necessary. 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.

Telephone: (303) 675–1600.

sbull Regulation: 24 CFR 50.17 and

1000.20(a).

Project/Activity: Construction of 15

housing units with residual 1937

Housing Act funds under the Native

American Housing Assistance and SelfDetermination Act (NAHASDA), Upper

Sioux Tribe, Granite Falls, Minnesota.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s

regulation at § 50.17 requires that an

environmental assessment and finding

of no significant impact or an

environmental impact statement be

completed before the applicable

decision points for projects not exempt

or categorically excluded from

environmental review requirements.

HUD’s regulation at § 1000.20(a)

requires that an environmental review

be completed for any NAHASDA project

not excluded from review before a

recipient may acquire, rehabilitate,

convert, lease, repair or construct

property, or commit HUD or local funds.

Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant

Secretary for Community Planning and

Development and Harold Lucas,

Assistant Secretary for Public and

Indian Housing.

Date Granted: Granted by Mr. Cooper

on July 27, 2000 and by Mr. Lucas on

July 28, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined that

there was good cause for the waiver.

The Upper Sioux Tribe made several

errors during the environmental review

and clearance process required by 24

CFR part 58 that resulted in the tribe

obligating and expending grant funds

for the project before HUD’s approval of

the Request for Release of Funds and

Certification, form HUD 7015.15. HUD

made a determination based upon these

actions to conduct an environmental

review according to 24 CFR part 50. A

HUD environmental review at this point

would be after the execution of the

Indian Housing Block Grant Agreement

for this project. Therefore, a waiver is

5384 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 12 / Thursday, January 18, 2001 / Notices

necessary to allow HUD to conduct the

review and resolve the issue. 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 occupancy be limited to Very Low

Income (VLI) elderly persons (i.e.,

households composed of one or more

persons at least one of whom is 62 years

of age at time of initial occupancy).

Granted By: William C. Apgar,

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal

Housing Commissioner.

Date Granted: September 12, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined that

there was good cause for the waiver.

The Little Rock Multifamily Program

Center requested an age and income

waiver for this Section 202/PRAC

project. The project is only 4.3 percent

occupied after 11 months of occupancy

and is unable to attract sufficient elderly

tenants because of insufficient local

demand. These waivers will allow

project management flexibility in

attempting to rent up vacant units,

thereby maintaining project viability

and preventing foreclosure of the

project. The waivers will allow elderly

and near-elderly families and

individuals who are at or over the age

of 55 and low income to apply for

admission to the project in addition to

very low elderly families who will

continue to receive an admissions

preference.

Granted By: William C. Apgar,

Date Granted: August 11, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined

there was good cause for the waiver.

The project consisted of acquisition

with rehabilitation of four group homes

for persons with chronic mental illness.

One of the sites was designed to be

accessible for persons with mobility

impairments. To make all units fully

accessible for persons with mobility

impairments would make the project, as

a whole, financially unfeasible. The

consumers served under the sponsor’s

existing programs did not generally

require accessible housing, therefore

accessibility of the one site was more

than adequate for potential residents.

The project was beset with problems,

including the fact that the contractor

took the project to arbitration over the

slow rate of progress. The project was

scheduled for completion on or before

June 1984. In order to complete

construction, the original mortgage was

increased and the borrower arranged in

1988 for a second general contractor to

complete construction. In an attempt to

avoid any liability, the borrower filed

for bankruptcy in 1989. The bankruptcy

agreement stipulated that the

supplemental loan be at 0 percent

interest and this agreement was binding.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s

occupancy to very low income (VLI)

elderly households where or one or

more persons is at least 62 years of age

at the time of initial occupancy.

Granted By: William C. Apgar,

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal

Housing Commissioner.

Date Granted: July 20, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined that

there was good cause for the waiver.

The Kansas City multifamily HUB

requested waiver of this regulation due

to the limited market of elderly

individuals and families. This project is

located in a small rural community and

has historically been unable to attract

elderly families to fill vacancies. This

waiver will expand the number of

eligible households who can be

admitted to the property allowing the

owner additional, necessary flexibility

in renting up units.

Granted By: William C. Apgar,

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal

Housing Commissioner.

Date Granted: September 12, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined that

there was good cause for the waiver.

The Denver multifamily HUB requested

an age waiver because the project had

been unable to sustain occupancy due to

the somewhat depressed surrounding

neighborhood and declining demand for

very low income elderly housing. The

waiver allowed property management to

rent up vacant units.

5390 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 12 / Thursday, January 18, 2001 / Notices

Granted By: William C. Apgar,

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal

Housing Commissioner.

Date Waived: September 20, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined that

there was good cause for the waiver.

The Denver Multifamily Hub requested

an age waiver for the project due to the

soft market for elderly properties in the

Salt Lake City area. The surrounding

neighborhood of Calvary Tower is

somewhat depressed which also

contributes to vacancy problems. Even

though the property is currently full,

any long term vacancies would pose a

financial strain on this property and

there is only one applicant on the

waiting list. Lowering the age

requirement from 62 to 55 and older

will allow project management

flexibility in attempting to alleviate

vacancy problems.

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 person which immediately

follows the description of the waiver

granted.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 950.980 as in

effect at the time of grant award.

Project/Activity: A request was made

by the Cheyenne River Housing

Authority (CRHA), Eagle Butte, South

Dakota, for a one-year extension of their

FY 1994 FIC grant to continue support

and funding for their Single Mother’s

Self-Sufficiency Program.

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 12 / Thursday, January 18, 2001 / Notices 5395

Nature of Requirement: While no

longer in effect, HUD’s regulations at 24

CFR 950.980 governed the Family

Investment Center (FIC) program at the

time of the initial grant award. The FIC

program does not have current

regulations and the NOFA does not

provide guidance on grant term

extensions. The application kit states

that the grant term will be of three to

five years duration, depending upon the

activities undertaken.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian

Housing.

Date Granted: June 19, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined that

there was good cause for the waiver.

The FIC grant awarded to the CRHA has

funded the Single Mother’s SelfSufficiency Program which has

provided basic life skills, training and

transitional housing for many homeless

single mothers, as well as educational

opportunities to seventy-four young

women, thirty-three of which have

completed their entire educational plan;

forty-one of the participating that have

not completed their goals will be able to

achieve them during this additional year

of operating the program; the success of

the program has prompted the Board of

Directors to approve a pilot program for

single fathers, providing the same

services to men in the area; and the

CRHA has been highly competent in

submitting their annual reports and

financial status reports to the Northern

Plains ONAP in a timely manner.

increments consistent with HUD policy

to fully use units reserved under the

ACC and allocated budget authority.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 1000.214.

Project/Activity: A request was made

by the Match-E-Be-Nash-Shw-Wish

Door, Michigan, to submit their Indian

Housing Plan (IHP) to the Eastern

Woodlands beyond the due date of July

1, 1999.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s

regulation at 24 CFR 1000.214 states

that IHPs must be initially sent by the

recipient to the Area ONAP no later

than July 1. Section 1000.216 states that

if the IHP is not initially sent by July 1,

the recipient will not eligible for IHBG

funds for that fiscal year.

Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian

Housing.

Date Granted: August 7, 2000.

Reason Waived: HUD determined that

there was good cause for the waiver.

The MBPI was unable to meet the

submission date for the FY 2000 IHP

due to circumstances beyond their

control. The MBPI was federally

recognized on August 23, 1999, and has

spent most of the last year working to

establish the basic elements for the

MBPI’s government and organization.

Healthcare was the MBPI’s first priority,

so a health program was established.

The small staff was unable to work on

housing issues in addition to all other

activities. The MBPI can now address

the housing issues.
