Reform Act of 1989 (the HUD Reform 

Act) requires HUD to publish quarterly 

Federal Register notices of all 

regulatory waivers that HUD has 

approved. Each notice covers the 

quarterly period since the previous 

Federal Register notice. The purpose of 

this notice is to comply with the 

requirements of section 106 of the HUD 

Reform Act. This notice contains a list 

of regulatory waivers granted by HUD 

during the period beginning on April 1, 

2008 and ending on June 30, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

general information about this notice,

General Counsel for Legislation and 

Regulations, Department of Housing and 

Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street,

with hearing- or speech-impairments 

may access this number through TTY by 

calling the toll-free Federal Information 

Relay Service at 800–877–8339. 

For information concerning a 

particular waiver that was granted and 

for which public notice is provided in 

this document, contact the person 

whose name and address follow the 

description of the waiver granted in the 

accompanying list of waivers that have 

been granted in the second 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). 

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 April 

1, 2008 through June 30, 2008. For ease 

of reference, the waivers granted by 

HUD are listed by HUD program office 

(for example, the Office of Community 

Planning and Development, the Office 

of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, 

the Office of Housing, and the Office of 

Public and Indian Housing, etc.). Within 

each program office grouping, the 

waivers are listed sequentially by the 

regulatory section of title 24 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR) that is 

being waived. For example, a waiver of 

a provision in 24 CFR part 58 would be 

listed before a waiver of a provision in 

24 CFR part 570. 

Where more than one regulatory 

provision is involved in the grant of a 

particular waiver request, the action is 

listed under the section number of the 

first regulatory requirement that appears 

in 24 CFR and that is being waived. For 

example, a waiver of both § 58.73 and 

§ 58.74 would appear sequentially in the 

listing under § 58.73. 

Waiver of regulations that involve the 

same initial regulatory citation are in 

time sequence beginning with the 

earliest-dated regulatory waiver. 

Should HUD receive additional 

information about waivers granted 

during the period covered by this report 

(the second quarter of calendar year 

2008) before the next report is published 

(the third quarter of calendar year 2008), 

HUD will include any additional 

waivers granted for the second 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: September 15, 2008. 

Robert M. Couch, 

General Counsel.

the waiver granted. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 58.22(a). 

Project/Activity: The Lakeview 

Family Apartments project is a 

multifamily farm labor housing project 

in Roberts, Idaho. The project consists 

of 23 units of multifamily housing and 

a community building for classes, 

training, recreation, and a computer lab 

for residents. Idaho Housing Finance 

Association requested a waiver to allow 

the use of $1,057,490 in HOME 

Investment Partnership (HOME) 

Program funds. Property was acquired 

prior to the performance of an 

environmental review. 

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulation requires that an 

environmental review be performed and 

a request for release of funds be 

completed and certified prior to the 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES2
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 23, 2008 / Notices 54903 

commitment of non-HUD funds to a 

project using HUD funds. 

Granted by: Nelson R. Brego ́n, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Community Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: May 28, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted based on the following findings: 

The project furthered the objective of 

providing community development and 

affordable housing; the errors made in 

the environmental process for the 

commitment of non-HUD funds were 

made in good faith; and an 

environmental assessment concluded 

that the granting of the waiver will not 

result in any adverse environmental 

impact.

7000, telephone (202) 402–4442. 

• Regulations: 24 CFR 92.300(a)(1). 

Project/Activity: The City of Spokane, 

Washington, requested a waiver to allow 

it to provide a HOME community 

housing development organization 

(CHDO) set-aside funds to a limited 

liability company (LLC) that has a 

qualified CHDO as its sole managing 

partner in order to purchase and 

renovate affordable rental housing in 

downtown Spokane. 

Nature of Requirement: The HOME 

regulation at 24 CFR 92.300(a)(1) 

permits a participating jurisdiction to 

award CHDO set-aside funds to limited 

partnerships that include a qualified 

CHDO as the managing partner. LLCs 

are not an allowable form of CHDO 

project ownership in the HOME 

Regulation. 

Granted by: Nelson R. Brego ́n, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Community Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: April 28, 2008. 

Reasons Waived: Spokane Housing 

Ventures (SHV) is a local nonprofit 

organization that is designated as a 

CHDO by the City of Spokane. SHV 

plans to purchase and renovate the Bel 

Franklin Apartments in downtown 

Spokane, and the financing is to include 

HOME CHDO set-aside funds and LowIncome Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). 

To facilitate the LIHTC financing, SHV 

formed the Bel Franklin Apartments 

LLC (LLC). SHV is the sole member of 

the LLC with 100 percent ownership of 

the project. The City sought to provide 

HOME CHDO set-aside funds to the 

LLC. LLCs are not an allowable form of 

CHDO project ownership in the HOME 

regulations. The City, the CHDO and the 

LLC have agreed that SHV would be the 

sole managing member of the Bel 

Franklin Apartments LLC when the tax 

credit investors are brought into the 

transaction and have effective project 

control over its operation. Ownership 

would revert to SHV at the end of the 

15-year tax compliance period. SHV is 

to serve as the project developer and 

property manager. Both SHV and the 

LLC will be bound by the provisions of 

the HOME regulations and the 

partnership operating agreement.

telephone (202) 708–2470. 

• Regulations: 24 CFR 

92.500(d)(1)(C). 

Project/Activity: The City of 

Alexandria, Louisiana, requested a 

waiver of its fiscal year (FY) 2003 

expenditure deadline to facilitate its 

continued recovery from the devastation 

caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. 

The City is located within a declared 

disaster area pursuant to Title IV of the 

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 

Emergency Assistance Act. 

Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 

92.500(d)(1)(C) requires that a PJ expend 

its annual allocation of HOME funds 

within five years after HUD notifies the 

PJ that HUD has executed the 

jurisdiction’s HOME Investment 

Partnership Agreement. 

Granted by: Nelson R. Brego ́n, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Community Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: July 1, 2008. 

Reasons Waived: It was determined 

that the waiver would facilitate the 

continued recovery of the City of 

Alexandria from the devastation caused 

by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane 

Rita. The waiver ensures that needed 

HOME funds are not de-obligated and 

are available to pay for costs incurred 

for projects to which HOME funds have 

already been committed.

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 203.37a(b)(2). 

Project/Activity: FHA-insured 

properties in certain areas that have 

been foreclosed. 

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulations at 24 CFR 203.37a(b)(2) 

require a 90-day waiting period for resales of properties to be eligible for 

FHA-insured mortgage financing with 

certain categorical exceptions. This 

waiver requested pertains to existing 

exemptions of those properties 

foreclosed on by mortgagees, their 

subsidiaries, as well as vendors hired by 

exempt entities to sell their real estate 

owned. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: June 9, 2008. 

Reason Waived: It was determined 

that waiving the regulations would 

allow properties acquired by foreclosure 

by FHA-approved mortgagees to become 

eligible for FHA-insured financing 

during the 90-day period. The waiver 

reduces holding costs to mortgage 

lenders and lessens the likelihood of 

property value deterioration to 

adjoining and near-by properties as well 

as to the properties acquired by 

foreclosure. 

Contact: James Beavers, Deputy 

Director, Office of Single Family 

Program Development, Office of 

Housing, Department of Housing and 

Urban Development, 451 Seventh St., 

SW., Room 9166, Washington, DC 

20410–8000, telephone (202) 708–2121. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 203.41(b). 

Project/Activity: Chequamegon 

Village, Bozeman, Montana, being 

purchased by two member family. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

203.41(b) of the FHA regulations in 24 

CFR part 203 provides that the mortgage 

shall not be eligible for insurance if the 

mortgaged property is subject to legal 

restrictions on conveyance (except as 

otherwise permitted under the 

regulations). Properties at Chequamegon 

Village contain legal restrictions 

limiting ownership to occupant 

mortgagors, covenants that would 

remain in force even if FHA acquired 

the property as the result of a 

foreclosure. This deed restriction could 

limit the potential pool of possible 

buyers and/or reduce the proceeds of 

sale should FHA need to sell the 

property. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: May 21, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The mortgage loan 

proposed for the family would be in an 

amount that represents approximately 

62% loan to value ratio. Because of the 

large amount of equity in the property 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES2
54904 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 23, 2008 / Notices 

(38%), it is unlikely that FHA would 

incur a claim for benefits and if it did, 

it is unlikely FHA would suffer a loss. 

The waiver was determined necessary 

so that the family could obtain a 

Montana Board of Housing Disabled 

Accessible Affordable Mortgage at 

2.75% financing. 

Contact: James Beavers, Deputy 

Director, Office of Single Family 

Program Development, Office of 

Housing, Department of Housing and 

Urban Development, 451 Seventh St.,

• Regulation: 24 CFR 236.725(e)(2). 

Project/Activity: Brookdale Village, 

Far Rockaway Queens, New York—FHA 

Project Number 012–119NI/012–11023. 

A request was made for continuation of 

Rental Assistance Payments (RAP) after 

the payoff of the original non-insured 

Section 236 mortgage under a Section 

236(e)(2) Decoupling transaction. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

236.725 of the FHA regulations in 24 

CFR part 236 relates to rental assistance 

contracts, limiting such contracts 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: June 20, 2008. 

Reason Waived: This waiver was 

granted because it was determined that 

the project would be maintained as an 

affordable housing resource to the 

maturity date of the non-insured Section 

236 mortgage plus an additional five 

years, through the execution and 

recording of a Decoupling Use 

Agreement. This waiver was predicated 

on the fact that the Decoupling proposal 

would not request an increase in the 

Section 236 units, and therefore the 

rental assistance payment (RAP) subsidy 

would not increase as a result. Future 

RAP increases would be based on 

budget driven project operating cost 

increases that would not include any 

new debt service costs attributable to 

the decoupling transaction. The waiver 

was also based on the fact that the 

project owner enter into a Decoupling 

Use Restriction Agreement prescribed 

by the Section 236(e)(2) Decoupling 

program.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 290.30(a). 

Project/Activity: 1775 Houses, New 

York, New York—FHA Project Numbers 

012–57005P and 012–57005T, and AK 

Houses, New York, New York—FHA 

Project Numbers 012–57082P and 012– 

57082T. The owners requested 

prepayment approval of their two 

respective HUD-Held mortgages. In 

addition, the owners requested HUD to 

assign the mortgages to the purchasing 

entity’s new mortgagee for mortgage 

recording tax savings in the state of New 

York. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s 

regulations governing the sale of HUDHeld mortgages are set forth in 24 CFR 

part 290, subpart B. Section 290.30(a) of 

those regulations state that ‘‘[e]xcept as 

otherwise provided in Section 

290.31(a)(2), HUD will sell HUD-Held 

multifamily mortgages on a competitive 

basis.’’ Section 290.31(a)(2) permits 

‘‘negotiated’’ sales to state or local 

governments for mortgage loans that are 

current and secured by subsidized 

projects, provided such loans are sold 

with FHA insurance. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing— 

Federal Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: June 13, 2008. 

Reason Waived: Waiver of the 

regulations covering the sale of HUDHeld mortgages to allow the noncompetitive sale of the HUD-Held 

mortgages securing the project with 

FHA insurance was approved. Good 

cause was shown that it is in the public 

interest and consistent with HUD’s 

objectives to waive the appropriate 

regulations in order to permit the 

noncompetitive sale to Prudential 

Affordable Mortgage Company. 

Prudential Affordable Mortgage 

Company will pay HUD in full for all 

loan balances.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c). 

Project/Activity: Parker Heights 

Apartments, Parker City Borough, 

Pennsylvania, FHA Project Number 

033–EE019. The owner/managing agent 

requested an extension of the very lowincome restriction and elderly 

restriction waiver in order to permit 

admission of low-income elderly 

applicants. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

891.410 addresses 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: April 15, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The property 

contains 11 vacant units with no 

applicants on the waiting list. The 

property is located in a rural setting and 

the local housing market indicates that 

there is not sufficient demand for very 

low-income elderly housing. The 

owner/managing agent continues to 

aggressively market the property with 

the local housing authorities and 

various religious, social and community 

organizations. It was determined that 

granting the waiver would allow the 

owner/managing agent an opportunity 

to stabilize the project’s current 

financial status, and prevent 

foreclosure. It also was determined that 

first priority would be given to all 

qualified applicants who meet the 

Section 202 very low-income 

guidelines.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c). 

Project/Activity: Sunset Heights 

Apartments, Waukesha, Wisconsin, 

FHA, Project Number 075–EE036. The 

property is currently experiencing 

vacancy problems and high turnover 

rate at the 17-unit property. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

891.410 addresses 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: May 6, 2008. 

Reason Waived: This regulatory 

waiver was granted because if 

continued, the current vacancy and high 

turnover rates would cause financial 

hardship for the project. The owner/ 

managing agent was unable to attract 

very low-income elderly persons. The 

owner/managing agent continues to 

aggressively market the property with 

the local housing authorities and news 

media. The waiver was granted to allow 

the owner the ability to offer units to 

individuals who meet the definition of 

lower income, near elderly, which 

should increase occupancy levels at the 

property and, therefore, stabilize the 

project’s current financial status. It was 

determined that first priority would be 

given to all qualified eligible applicants 

who meet the Section 202 very lowincome guidelines.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c). 

Project/Activity: Pioneer Place III, 

Poynette, Wisconsin—FHA Project 

Number 075–EE010. This project 

continues to experience difficulty in 

leasing its units to very low-income 

elderly tenants. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

891.410 addresses 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: May 12, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The project 

experienced difficulty in renting its 

units since initial occupancy in April 

1994. Currently 17 of 22 units are 

occupied, and there are no applicants 

that meet the age waiver criteria on the 

waiting list. The owner/managing agent 

continues to aggressively market the 

property with the Central Wisconsin 

Community Action Council and news 

media. The provisions of 24 CFR 

891.410(c) were waived in order to 

allow the agent to lease to individuals 

between the ages of 55 and 62 years of 

age, thereby allowing the owner to 

increase occupancy and save the project 

from failing. Priority admission would 

continue for applicants who meet the 

Section 202 very low-income 

guidelines.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.805. 

Project/Activity: Serviam Gardens, 

New York, NY, Project Number: 012–

Nature of Requirement: Section 

891.805 requires that the project owner 

be a single purpose for-profit limited 

partnership of which a private nonprofit 

organization with a section 501(c)(3) or 

501(c)(4) tax exemption status is the 

sole general partner. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing— 

Federal Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: April 17, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The sponsor 

requested that the sole general partner 

be a limited liability company with a 

single member under the New York 

Limited Liability Company Law and its 

membership interest will be owned by 

the sponsor. The organizational 

documents will prohibit private 

inurnment and private benefit, as do the 

sponsor’s organizational documents. 

This will prevent the tax credit 

investor’s return from being impacted 

by any portion of the capital advance 

monies being treated as taxable income.

Number: 126–HD044. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

891.805 requires that the project owner 

be a single purpose for-profit limited 

partnership of which a private nonprofit 

organization with a section 501(c)(3) or 

501(c)(4) tax exemption status is the

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—

Date Granted: June 5, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The sponsor 

requested that the sole general partner 

be a limited liability company with a 

single member and its membership 

interest will be owned by the sponsor. 

The organizational documents will 

prohibit private inurnment and private 

benefit. Pursuant to Department of 

Treasury regulation section 301.7701– 

3(b)(1)(ii), a limited liability company 

has only one member and will be 

treated as a disregarded entity for

CFR 891.830(c)(4). 

Project/Activity: Charleston 

Apartments, Seattle, WA, Project 

Number: 126–HD044. 

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 drawdown schedule 

approved by HUD. Section 891.830(c)(4) 

prohibits the capital advance funds from 

paying off bridge or construction 

financing, or repaying or collateralizing 

bonds. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing— 

Federal Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: April 17, 2008. 

Reason Waived: In order to not delay 

the construction of this mixed finance 

project, the waiver was granted to 

permit the capital advance funds to be 

drawn down using a different 

mechanism other than a pro rata basis, 

as approved by HUD. However, the 

capital advance funds would not be 

drawn down any faster than a pro rata 

disbursement basis would have 

permitted. The owner sought to use the 

release of capital advance funding upon 

the completion of the project procedure, 

which recognizes a conventionally 

financed construction loan that would 

pay for many items that are eligible for 

capital advance funding. 891.830(c)(4)

Nature of Requirement: Section

construction financing, or repaying or 

collateralizing bonds. 

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing— 

Federal Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: April 11, 2008. 

Reason Waived: Since this is a mixed 

finance project, the waiver was granted 

to permit capital advance funds to be 

used to pay off that portion of a bridge 

or construction financing that strictly 

relate to capital advance eligible costs. 

Such costs are to be documented in the 

Owner’s audited cost certification and 

approved by the Program Center as 

capital advance eligible.

immediately follows the description of 

the waiver granted. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801. 

Project/Activity: Brillion Housing 

Authority, (WI021), Brillion, WI. 

Nature of Requirement: The 

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: April 1, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the due date date of 

September 30, 2008, for the submission 

of its audited financial data for FYE 

December 30, 2006. The HA submitted 

that the audited data was first submitted 

two days before the due date, but was 

rejected and not resubmitted on time 

due to severe illness of the HA’s 

independent public accountant. The 

circumstances that prevented the HA 

from resubmitting the audited financial 

data by the due date were beyond the 

control of the HA. The waiver allowed 

the HA additional time to submit its 

audited financial data to the REAC.

Audit Act and OMB Circular A–133. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 8, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a

2007 because the Starr County was 

declared a natural disaster area due to 

severe flooding. As a result, the HA had 

to relocate its office and rebuild their 

data files. The waiver allowed the HA 

additional time to submit its audited 

financial data to the Real Estate 

Assessment Center.

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 14, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the audited financial reporting 

requirements for the FYE ending June

Department of Health and Human 

Services, the cognizant agency for the 

State of New Jersey, approved a request 

for an extension in submitting their 

Single Audit until July 31, 2008. The 

waiver allowed the HA additional time 

to submit the audited financial data. 

The HA is a component unit of the State 

of New Jersey and should submit its 

audited financial data no later than July 

31, 2008.

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulation at 24 CFR 5.801 establishes 

certain reporting compliance dates. 

Unaudited financial statements are 

required to be submitted two months 

after the housing authority’s (HA) fiscal 

year end (FYE), and audited financial 

statements will be required no later than 

nine months after the HA’s FYE, in

and OMB Circular A–133. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: May 9, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested an 

extension of time to submit their 

audited financial data for FYE June 30, 

2007. The HA is a Section 8-only-HA 

that is part of a larger general purpose 

government, the City of Middletown, 

Ohio whose FYE is December 31, 2007, 

and the HA’s FYE is June 30, 2007. The 

HA requested that the FYE be changed 

to December 31, 2007, so that it would 

coincide with the FYE of the City. The 

waiver was granted because the HA 

followed proper procedures to ensure 

financial integrity. The HA is to submit 

its audited financial data for June 30, 

2007, no later than September 30, 2008.

Nature of Requirement: The 

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

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: May 15, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested an 

extension of time to submit their 

audited financial data for fiscal year 

ending (FYE) March 31, 2007. The HA 

states its audited financial submission 

was rejected by the REAC and had 

fifteen days to correct and resubmit the 

financial data. The HA states corrections 

were made and the auditor completed 

both first and second steps of the threestep audited submission process. 

However, the Executive Director was 

not able to complete the last submission 

step due to illness. The waiver was 

granted because REAC’s records confirm 

that the HA’s audited submission was in 

independent public accountant-agree 

status indicating the audit was 

completed and ready to be submitted.

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: May 15, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HA states that 

the audit was completed, however, it 

was unable to submit it as a result of 

time-out and availability issues with 

HUD network servers. Consequently, the 

submission was not electronically 

submitted to REAC by the submission 

due date. The HA received a Late 

Presumptive Failure (LPF) score of zero. 

The waiver allowed the HA to resubmit 

its financial data.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 23, 2008 / Notices 54915 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the audited financial 

submission date for the fiscal year 

ending June 30, 2007. The HA contends 

that its audited financial submission 

was rejected and the HA was given 15 

days to correct and resubmit the 

financial data. The HA submitted that 

the corrections were made but due to 

communication error between the 

Executive Director and the Auditor, the 

submission was not electronically made 

to the REAC by the resubmission due 

date resulting in the HA receiving a Late 

Presumptive Failure (LPF) score of zero. 

The waiver granted the HA allowed the 

resubmission of the audited financial 

data.

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulation at 24 CFR 5.801 establishes 

certain reporting compliance dates. The 

audited financial statements are 

required to be submitted 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: June 4, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested 

additional time to submit its FY2007 

audited financial data. Specifically, the 

HA’s original waiver request dated 

February 28, 2008, was initially denied 

as a result of the State of Arizona’s 

failure to have an A–133 audit 

performed by the Single Audit due date. 

The State of Arizona subsequently 

received an extension until June 30, 

2008, from the cognizant audit agency. 

The HA was granted the waiver because 

the circumstances were beyond its 

control. The HA is to submit its audited 

financial data no later than July 5, 2008.

rejected and the HA was given 15 days 

to correct and resubmit the financial 

data. The HA submitted that as a result 

of a communication error with their 

finance division, the submission was 

not electronically submitted to the

resulting in the HA receiving a Late 

Presumptive Failure (LPF) score of zero. 

The waiver allowed the HA to resubmit 

its audited financial data.

Nature of Requirement: The objective 

of this regulation is to determine 

whether a housing authority (HA) is 

meeting the standard of decent, safe, 

sanitary, and in good repair. The Real 

Estate Assessment Center (REAC) 

provides for an independent physical 

inspection of a HA’s property of 

properties that includes a statistically 

valid sample of the units. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 30, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver from physical inspections for 

fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, due 

to extensive damages caused by a 

tornado which occurred February 5, 

2008. The circumstances surrounding 

the waiver request were unusual and 

beyond the HA’s control. Accordingly, 

no physical inspections would be 

conducted in fiscal year 2008.

(c). 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of 

East Baton Rouge Parish (EBRHA) 

request to waive Total Development 

Cost (TDC) limit and Housing 

Construction Costs (HCC) for Phase I of 

East Boulevard/Oklahoma Street HOPE 

VI Grant LA48URD003I102. 

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulations at 24 CFR 941.306(b) and (c) 

require that public housing capital 

assistance may not be used to pay for 

housing construction costs and 

community renewal costs in excess of 

the HUD determined TDC and HCC 

limit. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Assistant Secretary, Public and Indian 

Housing. 

Date Granted: June 10, 2008. 

Reason Waived: HUD completed its 

review of EBRHA’s request for a waiver 

of 24 CFR 941.306(b) and (c) for Phase 

I of the rental and homeownership 

development for the East Boulevard/ 

Oklahoma Street HOPE VI project. 

EBRHA was not able to anticipate the 

escalating costs associated with 

construction after Hurricane Katrina and 

therefore lost the opportunity to apply 

for a TDC waiver under the PIH Notice 

in the Federal Register of ‘‘Regulatory 

and Administrative Waivers Granted for 

Public and Indian Housing Programs to 

Assist with Recovery and Relief in 

Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma 

Disaster Areas.’’ This notice provided 

the ability for housing authorities 

impacted by these hurricanes to receive 

a waiver of TDC. Based upon 

documentation submitted by EBRHA 

and recognizing the severe impact 

Hurricane Katrina had on construction 

in the Gulf Coast area and in accordance 

with the authority at 24 CFR 5.110, HUD 

approved the waiver of 24 CFR 

941.306(b) and (c) for Phase I of the East 

Boulevard/Oklahoma Street HOPE VI 

project.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 941.610(a)(1)– 

(a)(7). 

Project/Activity: Danville 

Redevelopment and Housing Authority 

(DRHA) request to waive HUD review of 

certain legal documents for the Liberty 

Square HOPE VI project, Blaine Square 

(Phase IV) Mixed-Finance Project in 

Danville, VA. 

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulation at 24 CFR 941.610(a)(1) and 

(a)(7) require HUD review and approval 

of certain legal documents related to 

mixed-finance development before 

closing can occur and public housing 

funds can be released. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Assistant Secretary, Public and Indian 

Housing 

Date Granted: April 4, 2008. 

Reason Waived: Under the waiver, the 

documents addressed by the regulation 

no longer need to be submitted to HUD 

for review. In lieu of HUD’s review of 

these documents, and before public 

housing funds can be released, DRHA 

must submit documentation which 

certifies, in form specified by HUD, to 

the accuracy and authenticity of the 

legal documents detailed in § 941.610, 

paragraphs (a)(1)–(a)(7). Granting a 

waiver of HUD’s review allows DRHA to 

certify to the validity of certain legal 

documents and streamlines the review 

process and expedites closing and 

public housing production. 

Additionally, the partners involved 

with the Blaine Square project are 

basically the same as those involved in 

earlier phases of the Liberty Square 

HOPE VI project. DRHA is the developer 

and sole lender for the project. 

Centerline Capital Group was the 

investor in the previous phase of the 

Liberty Square project. Clement 

Wheatley has severed as local counsel 

on all phases of Liberty Square. 

Cornerstone Housing, LLC previously 

served as the developer for all earlier 

phases of the Liberty Square project. 

Reno & Cavanaugh has extensive 

experience with HOPE VI throughout 

the country and has closed over 100 

mixed-finance transactions. Given the 

parties involved in Blaine Square are 

the same as with previous phases of the 

Liberty Square project, the documents 

used in previous phases will be used in 

Blaine Square. These were previously 

approved by HUD. Blaine Square project 

includes Low Income Housing Tax 

Credits (LIHTC). The review process 

and financial control mechanisms 

associated with LIHTCs are extensive. 

HUD review would repeat and duplicate 

the activities which these processes are 

already performing.

Authority (GHA) request to waive HUD 

review of certain legal documents for

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulation at 24 CFR 941.610(a)(1) and

of certain legal documents related to

closing can occur and public housing

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Assistant Secretary for Public and 

Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 8, 2008. 

Reason Waived: Under the waiver, the 

documents addressed by the regulation 

no longer need to be submitted to HUD 

for review. In lieu of HUD’s review of 

these documents, and before public 

housing funds can be released, GHA 

must submit documentation which 

certifies, in form specified by HUD, to

paragraphs (a)(1)–(a)(7). Granting a 

waiver of HUD’s review allows GHA to 

certify to the validity of certain legal 

documents and streamlines the review 

process and expedites closing and 

public housing production. 

Additionally, GHA is a housing 

authority with extensive development 

and mixed-finance experience. The 

other development partners in the 

project are also experienced in public 

housing mixed-finance development. 

Clark Street Commons is a mixedfinance transaction, and as such, 

includes HOPE VI, Low Income Housing

Tax Credits, and private mortgage funds. 

The review process and financial 

control mechanisms associated with 

Low Income Housing Tax Credits are 

extensive. The private sector mortgage 

lender also reviews the project’s 

financial and project documents. HUD 

review would repeat and duplicate the 

activities which these processes are 

already performing. Clark Street 

Commons project is very similar to one 

of the previous projects, Nichol Town 

Green Phase IV undertaken by GHA, 

which underwent full evidentiary 

document review and approval by HUD. 

The Developer will be TCG Greenville,

attorneys, and financial advisors will 

remain the same and Sun America again 

will provide construction financing.

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: June 20, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted because this cost-saving 

measure would enable the SAHA 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 990.185(a). 

Project/Activity: New Bedford 

Housing Authority (NBHA), 

Massachusetts. 

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 24 CFR 

990.185(a) has not yet been conformed 

to the statutory period and reflects a 

maximum period of 12 years. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: May 22, 2008. 

Reason Waived: The NBHA is 

undertaking an energy project and 

anticipates energy conservation 

measures with life cycle expectations 

and costs that would exceed the 12-year 

regulatory limitation in 24 CFR 

990.185(a). Based upon the anticipated 

savings and benefits to NBHA and its 

residents, the waiver granted a longer 

repayment period, contingent on HUD’s 

provisions, including additional 

information and technical activity 

requirements. However, NBHA must 

comply with all of HUD’s provisions for 

the waiver to be effective.
