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 2010. 

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, 2010 through June 30, 2010. 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 

2010) before the next report is published 

(the third quarter of calendar year 2010), 

HUD will include any additional 

waivers granted for the third 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 24, 2010. 

Helen R. Kanovsky, 

General Counsel.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 58.22(a). 

Project/Activity: The Town of Jean Lafitte, 

LA received an Economic Development 

Initiative Special Purpose (EDI–SP) grant in 

the amount of $248,000 for the construction 

of the Lafitte Multi-Purpose Center. The 

Lafitte Multi-Purpose Center is an education 

theater, civic center/emergency shelter, and a 

fisheries museum that will provide 

educational opportunities, cultural 

opportunities and emergency response 

functions. Subsequent to the December 8, 

2004 appropriation for the EDI–SP grant, but 

prior to the completion of a Federal 

environmental review and any release of 

funds from HUD, the Town of Jean Lafitte 

spent non-HUD funds on construction 

activities for the project. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 58.22(a) requires that an 

environmental review be performed and a 

request for release of funds be completed and 

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

Granted By: Mercedes M. Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning 

and Development. 

Date Granted: April 12, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was granted 

based on the following findings: the project 

would further the HUD mission and advance 

HUD program goals related to community 

development; the errors made in the 

environmental process for the commitment of 

non-HUD funds were made in good faith and 

the Town of Jean Lafitte did not willfully 

violate the applicable regulations; no HUD 

funds were committed; and, based on the 

revised environmental assessment and the 

HUD field inspection, granting a waiver 

would not result in any unmitigated, adverse 

environmental impact.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 58.22(a). 

Project/Activity: Hopewell Village involves 

the new construction of a 71 unit apartment 

complex to serve independent elderly 

residents in Elverson, PA. The residential 

portion of the development is to consist of a 

single three story structure. A portion of the 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
60784 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 190 / Friday, October 1, 2010 / Notices 

existing former fire station on site is to be 

retained to serve as a senior community 

center and dining facility. Chester County 

conditionally awarded HUD HOME funds to 

the Hopewell Village project in February 

2007. Subsequent to the application and 

conditional award of HOME funds, but prior 

to any release of funds from HUD, the project 

developer initiated choice-limiting actions 

including demolition and site clearance. 

Chester County completed the environmental 

review on January 5, 2010. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 58.22(a) requires that an 

environmental review be performed and a 

request for release of funds be completed and 

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

Granted By: Mercedes M. Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning 

and Development. 

Date Granted: April 28, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was granted 

based on the following findings: the above 

project would further the HUD mission and 

advance HUD program goals related to 

develop affordable housing; the errors made 

in the environmental process for the 

commitment of non-HUD funds were made 

in good faith and Chester County did not 

willfully violate the applicable regulations; 

no HUD funds were committed; and, based 

on the environmental assessment and the 

HUD field inspection, granting a waiver 

would not result in any unmitigated, adverse 

environmental impact.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 58.22(a). 

Project/Activity: Miraflores Housing 

Development involves the construction of 80 

rental units of housing for low-income 

seniors and 150 homeownership units on a 

former commercial nursery in Richmond, 

CA. The City of Richmond intends to use $1 

million in Section 108 loan guarantee funds 

for the development. HUD funds were also 

used for predevelopment costs with $400,000 

from HOME and $429,000 from CDBG. 

Violations occurred when subsequent to 

application for HUD Section 108 loan 

guarantee, the City of Richmond used nonHUD funds to purchase two parcels of 

property prior to the completion of an 

environmental review. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 58.22(a) requires that an 

environmental review be performed and a 

request for release of funds be completed and 

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

Granted By: Mercedes M. Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning 

and Development. 

Date Granted: June 16, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was granted 

based on the following findings: the above 

project would further the HUD mission and 

advance HUD Section 108 loan guarantee 

program, provides needed housing for lowincome seniors, and appropriately remediates 

and redevelops a brownfield site; no HUD 

funds were committed; and, based on the 

environmental assessment and the HUD field 

inspection, granting a waiver would not 

result in any unmitigated, adverse 

environmental impact.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 91.105(c)(1). 

Project/Activity: The city of Harrisonburg, 

VA, received over two feet of snow during a 

storm in February, 2010 and requested a 

waiver of Consolidated Plan requirements 

applicable to its CDBG program, in order to 

use CDBG funds to assist with snow removal 

by private contractors. 

Nature of Requirement: Under the 

Consolidated Plan regulations, a grantee may 

amend its plan in order to change its 

allocation priorities, to carry out an activity 

not previously described in the plan, or to 

change the purpose, scope, location, or 

beneficiaries of an activity. Under normal 

circumstances, a grantee follows its own 

amendment procedures which require public 

notice and comment periods. Section 

91.105(c)(1) of HUD’s regulations (24 CFR 

91.105(c)(1)) requires that any change in the 

use of CDBG funds from one eligible activity 

to another be treated as a substantial 

amendment. Given the urgency of the 

situation, the city requested to amend its 

plan. 

Granted By: Mercedes M. Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning 

and Development. 

Date Granted: May 24, 2010. 

Reason Waived: Given the urgency of the 

snow emergency situation it faced, the city 

requested approval to amend its plan to 

include snow removal as a CDBG-funded 

activity. Section 104(a)(2)(E) of the Housing 

and Community Development Act of 1974, as 

amended, requires citizens to be provided 

notice and given the opportunity to comment 

on substantial changes that are proposed to 

be made in a grantee’s Consolidated Plan’s 

use of funds. However, the statute does not 

define the term ‘‘substantial change.’’ HUD’s 

regulation at 24 CFR 91.105(c)(1) requires 

that any change in the use of CDBG funds 

from one eligible activity to another be 

treated as a substantial amendment. HUD has 

discretion in this case to waive this 

provision, given that this latter requirement 

is regulatory and not statutory. The amount 

of CDBG funds involved can be characterized 

as a de minimus level of money to be reprogrammed. Thus, HUD accepted that the 

use of funds for snow removal in this 

emergency situation does not constitute a 

substantial amendment. HUD therefore 

waived the provisions of 24 CFR 91.105(c)(1) 

to the extent necessary to allow the city to 

determine that this reprogramming of funds 

does not constitute a substantial amendment.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 91.500(d). 

Project/Activity: Waiver of the 30-day 

period to review an amended Consolidated 

Plan. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulations 

at 24 CFR 91.500(d) provide that a 

jurisdiction may revise or resubmit a 

Consolidated Plan within 45 days after the 

first notification approval. This section 

further requires that HUD must respond to 

approve or disapprove the plan with 30 days 

of receiving the revisions or resubmission. 

Granted By: Mercedes M. Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning 

and Development. 

Date Granted: April 30, 2010. 

Reason Waived: On January 15, 2010, HUD 

notified the city of Joliet that the city’s 2010 

Consolidated Plan was disapproved because 

the plan did not contain all certifications, 

satisfactorily completed, required as part of 

a complete Consolidated Plan submission 

under 24 CFR part 91. In accordance with 

HUD’s regulations in 24 CFR 91.500(d), the 

city had until March 1, 2010, to revise and 

resubmit its Consolidated Plan submission. 

The city timely completed its revised 

submission on March 1, 2010, but HUD 

determined that it needed time beyond the 

30-day review period to ensure that the 

certifications presented the assurances in a 

satisfactory manner that are required by 

HUD’s regulations.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 92.212(b). 

Project Activity: Yakima County, WA 

HOME Consortium requested permission to 

permit it to incur administrative and 

planning costs prior to the submission of its 

Consolidated Plan. 

Nature of Requirement: The HOME 

regulations at 24 CFR 92.104 requires all 

jurisdictions seeking designation as a 

participating jurisdiction (PJ) under the 

HOME program to submit a Consolidated 

Plan to HUD. Once the jurisdiction has 

complied with this and other requirements, 

HUD designates the jurisdiction as a HOME 

Participating Jurisdiction. Pursuant to 

§ 92.212(b), PJs may not incur eligible 

administrative and planning pre-award costs 

until the beginning of the PJ’s program year, 

or the date the Consolidated Plan is received 

by HUD, whichever is later. This provision 

precludes a jurisdiction that has not yet been 

designated as a HOME PJ from incurring preaward costs for Consolidated Plan 

preparation and reimbursing itself when it 

receives its HOME allocation. 

Granted By: Mercedes M. Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary, Community Planning 

and Development. 

Date Granted: June 7, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The Consortium requested 

a waiver of the pre-award cost provision to 

permit it to incur administrative and 

planning costs prior to the submission of its 

Consolidated Plan. The Consortium 

comprises a very rural, low-income area 

without substantial governmental resources. 

The Consortium members have limited 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 190 / Friday, October 1, 2010 / Notices 60785 

funding to develop the required Consolidated 

Plan and would suffer a financial hardship 

without a waiver. A waiver of 24 CFR 

92.212(b) would permit the Consortium to 

charge eligible administrative and planning 

costs related to the development of the 

Consolidated Plan to its first HOME 

allocation.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 92.252(e). 

Project/Activity: Washington County, 

Oregon requested a waiver to reduce, by six 

months, the period of affordability of a fire 

damaged four bedroom facility that provided 

transitional housing for persons with mental 

illness in order to build 14 one-bedroom 

units of permanent supportive housing with 

a Section 811 Capital Advance. 

Nature of Requirement: The HOME 

regulations at 24 CFR 92.252(e) requires that 

‘‘HOME-assisted units meet the affordability 

for not less than the applicable period * * * 

beginning after project completion.’’ 

Granted By: Mercedes M. Ma ́rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning 

and Development. 

Date Granted: June 16, 2010. 

Reason Waived: HUD approved the waiver 

request because continuing the use of the 

project would create an unnecessary 

hardship on the non-profit and the tenants. 

The interests of the low-income community 

would be better served by facilitating 

construction of the new Section 811 project.

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 202.3(a)(3). 

Project/Activity: All FHA Approved Title II 

Mortgagees 

Nature of Requirement: This regulation 

subsection contains the requirements for 

principal—authorized agent relationship 

originations of FHA single family loans. It 

was revised by a May 20, 2010, final rule to 

require: (1) Both mortgagees to have 

unconditional direct endorsement approval, 

(2) the principal mortgagee originate the loan, 

and (3) the authorized agent mortgagee 

underwrites the loan. 

Granted By: David H. Stevens, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: June 11, 2010 by issuance of 

Mortgagee Letter 2010–20. 

Reason Waived: The effective date of the 

May 20, 2010, was delayed to allow 

mortgagees sufficient time to meet the new 

requirement that they must have 

unconditional direct endorsement approval 

and for FHA to make changes to the single 

family loan origination system to comply 

with the revised regulations. 

Contact: Richard G. Toma, Deputy 

Director, Office of Lender Activities and 

Program Compliance, Office of Housing,

Development, 451 7th Street, SW., Room 

P3214, Washington, DC 20410–8000, 

telephone (202) 708–1515. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 202.8(b)(3). 

Project/Activity: FHA Approved Title I and 

Title II Nonsupervised Loan Correspondents 

with fiscal years ending on or after December 

31, 2009. 

Nature of Requirement: A HUD May 20, 

2010, final rule removed the annual renewal 

requirement for nonsupervised loan 

correspondent previously in 24 CFR 

202.8(b)(3) and replaced them with a 

provision in the revised 24 CFR 208.8(c) 

which allows loan correspondents that are 

currently FHA-approved as of the May 20, 

2010, effective date of the final rule to 

maintain their FHA approval through 

December 31, 2010. Any loan correspondent 

that had not met the old annual renewal 

requirements by May 20, 2010, were still 

subject to the prior annual renewal 

requirement of paying the annual renewal 

fee, submitting audited financial statements 

and completing the annual certification 

report. A waiver of the requirement to submit 

audited financial statements was made for all 

nonsupervised loan correspondents whose 

fiscal year ended on or after December 31, 

2009, who were otherwise in good standing 

with the Department. 

Granted By: David H. Stevens, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: June 11, 2010 by issuance of 

Mortgagee Letter 2010–20. 

Reason Waived: The Department 

determined that requiring submission of 

audited financial statements, and the costs 

associated with such a requirement, would 

place an unreasonable burden on loan 

correspondents, especially in light of the fact 

that their approval would only continue for 

less than one year.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b). 

Project/Activity: M. L. King, Jr. 

Apartments, Seattle, Washington—FHA 

Project Number 127–35004. The owner is 

requesting to defer repayment of the Flexible 

Subsidy Operating Assistance Loan on this 

project to give the owner a longer term to pay 

off the loan. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 219.220(b) 

governs the repayment of operating 

assistance provided under the Flexible 

Subsidy Program for Troubled Projects prior 

to May 1, 1996 states: ‘‘Assistance that has 

been paid to a project owner under this 

subpart must be repaid at the earlier of the 

expiration of the term of the mortgage, 

termination of these actions would typically 

terminate FHA involvement with the 

property, and the Flexible Subsidy loan 

would be repaid, in whole, at that time. 

Granted By: David H. Stevens, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: April 5, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The owner requested 

waiver of the requirement to defer repayment 

of the Flexible Subsidy Operating Assistance 

Loan because the project did not have 

sufficient funds to repay the loan at maturity 

of the mortgage. Permission was granted 

because the owner is in compliance with all 

business agreements with HUD and has met 

required HUD standards. The loan was 

reamortized and interest has been deferred 

over a 25-year period. The owner has 

recorded a Use Agreement for the 25-year 

period allowing the project to remain as vital 

affordable housing for the area.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b). 

Project/Activity: Friendship Terrace, FHA 

No. 000–SH0001/Pre 1974. The owner 

requested permission to defer repayment of 

the Flexible Subsidy loan on this project. The 

deferral would enable urgent repairs and

revitalization of the project. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 219.220(b) 

of HUD’s regulations govern the repayment of 

operating assistance provided under the 

Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled 

Projects prior to May 1, 1996, and states: 

‘‘Assistance that has been paid to a project 

owner under this subpart must be repaid at 

the earlier of the expiration of the mortgage, 

or sale of the project * * *’’ Either of these 

actions would typically terminate FHA 

involvement with the property, and the 

Flexible Subsidy Loan would be repaid, in 

whole, at that time. 

Granted By: Ronald Y. Spraker, Associate 

General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Housing. 

Date Granted: May 20, 2010. 

Reason Waived: This regulation was 

waived in order to exempt Episcopal Church 

Home, Friendship, Incorporated, from the 

requirement to repay the Flexible Subsidy 

Operating Assistance Loan upon 

prepayment/refinancing of the loan; thereby 

allowing financing to rehabilitate the 

property and ensure preservation of the 

project as an affordable housing resource.

emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 190 / Friday, October 1, 2010 / Notices 60787 

EH022. The owner requested permission to 

continue deferral of repayment of the 

Flexible Subsidy loan on this project, 

following a one-year deferral granted on 

March 27, 2009. The deferral would enable 

improved security upgrades for the elderly 

residents of the project. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 219.220(b) 

of HUD’s regulations govern the repayment of 

operating assistance provided under the 

Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled 

Projects prior to May 1, 1996, and states: 

‘‘Assistance that has been paid to a project 

owner under this subpart must be repaid at

actions would typically terminate FHA 

involvement with the property, and the 

Flexible Subsidy Loan would be repaid, in 

whole, at that time. 

Granted By: David H. Stevens, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: May 28, 2010. 

Reason Waived: This regulation was 

waived in order to extend the exemption of 

Faush Metropolitan Manor, Incorporated, 

from the requirement to repay the Flexible 

Subsidy Operating Assistance Loan upon 

prepayment/refinancing of the loan; thereby 

allowing improved security upgrades for the 

elderly residents of the project.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 290.30(a). 

Project/Activity: The Winery Apartments, 

Fresno, California—FHA Project Number 

121–35490A. The owner has requested a 

waiver to allow the Department of HUD to 

sell the current unsubsidized mortgage loan 

on a non-competitive basis. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulations 

governing the sale of HUD–Held 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: David H. Stevens, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: June 30, 2010. 

Reason Waived: This regulation was 

waived in order to allow the sale of The 

Winery Apartments to the California Housing 

Finance Agency. Sale to a profit-motivated 

purchaser could have placed demands on the 

property in order to obtain a return on its 

investment and given the thin operating 

margins at the project, demands could lead 

to a foreclosure of the Note and loss of this 

much-needed low-income housing.

031NI. A Decoupling proposal was made by 

the owner to pay off the Section 236 noninsured mortgage, continue Interest

redevelopment of the property. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 236.725 of 

HUD’s regulations limits the term of the 

rental assistance contract 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: David H. Stevens, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: April 29, 2010. 

Reason Waived: This regulation waiver 

was approved to allow for continuance of the 

Rental Assistance Payments contract and to 

refinance its Section 236 non-insured 

mortgage. The waiver is predicated on the 

project entering into a new recorded Use 

Agreement restricting the project to be 

operated under the Section 236 mortgage 

plus an additional statutorily mandated five 

years. The preservation of this affordable 

housing project will thereby continue until 

2021.

payment made under the contract, whichever 

is the lesser. 

Granted By: David H. Stevens, Assistant

Reason Waived: Granting waiver of this 

regulation will provide stability of the 

project-based rental assistance and enhance 

the long-term financial feasibility through the 

proposed rehabilitation and refinancing of 

the property. The waiver will also allow the 

current tenants to remain and the property to 

be preserved as a low-income housing 

resource through 2021.

commensurately, and the amount of the 

savings credited to the project account.’’ 

Granted By: David H. Stevens, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: April 16, 2010.

Contract and comply with a Use Agreement

capital advance to be drawn down in one 

requisition to pay off that portion of the 

financing that strictly relate to capital 

advance eligible costs after completion of 

construction at initial/final closing.

• Regulation: ML 2009–46 B (Baseline 

Condo Guidance—ML serves as regulation as 

defined under the Housing and Economic 

Recovery Act (HERA)). 

Project/Activity: Blanket Waiver for all 

FHA-approved lenders. 

Nature of Requirement: ML 2009–46 B 

requires homeowner (HO)–6 insurance 

coverage for individual condominium units 

when the project Master Policy does not 

include interior unit coverage. HO–6 

coverage is a ‘‘walls-in’’ policy that protects 

the interior improvements and betterments in 

the event of perils such as bad weather, fire, 

explosion, and theft. HO–6 policies also 

generally cover improvements made, 

including private balconies or entrances, 

special fixtures or other additions to the 

property not covered by the Master Policy. 

Granted By: David H. Stevens, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: April 29, 2010. 

Reason Waived: FHA-approved lenders’ 

information technology (IT) infrastructure, 

including processing and underwriting 

systems do not currently accommodate for 

collection and management of this data. 

FHA-approved lenders advise HUD that any 

attempts to solve the problem immediately 

would pose significant risks that could 

ultimately lead to unsalable or uninsurable 

loans to FHA. Without the waiver, lenders 

would have to discontinue the condominium 

program; thereby, affecting purchasers who 

intend to purchase a condominium unit and 

will diminish affordable housing 

opportunities. The sale of condominium 

units was determined to be vital to the 

recovery of the housing market.

Condo Guidance—ML serves as regulation as 

defined under HERA). 

Project/Activity: Taconic Investment, 

Meadow Wood at Gateway Condominium 

Project, Brooklyn, New York. 

Nature of Requirement: ML 2009–46 B 

requires that no more than ten (10) percent 

of the units may be owned by one investor. 

Previously, the ten (10) percent investor 

ownership limitation only applied to FHA’s 

‘‘spot loan’’ approval process, permitted 

under 24 CFR 234.26(i). This limitation also 

applies to builders/developers that 

subsequently rent vacant and unsold units. 

Granted By: David H. Stevens, Assistant 

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: May 21, 2010. 

Reason Waived: In New York City, tenants 

are protected under the Rent Stabilization 

Law. Issuance of the waiver was determined 

to allow for lenders to continue making FHAinsured loans in the condominium; posed a 

low risk to the Mutual Mortgage Insurance 

(MMI) fund; was determined important due 

to the critical need for additional affordable 

housing in New York City; and would not 

violate any statutory requirements.

Office of Public and Indian Housing 

For further information about the following 

regulatory waivers, please see the name of 

the contact person that immediately follows 

the description of the waiver granted. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 5.216(b). 

Project/Activity: Louisiana Housing 

Authority (LHA), LA. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 5.216(b) requires that applicants 

submit Social Security Numbers while 

eligibility is being determined. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: June 17, 2010. 

Reason Waived: Vital records of many of 

the individuals to be served were destroyed 

by the hurricanes and in some instances the 

offices where this information was 

maintained were also destroyed. As a result, 

there were delays in obtaining these 

documents.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.40. 

Project/Activity: Phillipsburg Housing 

Authority, (KS036), Phillipsburg, KS. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes that public 

housing agencies are required to submit a 

management operations certification under 

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). 

Public housing agencies that are converting 

to asset management and for which the 

submission of the current management 

operations certification would impose an 

administrative hardship, may request a 

waiver for their management operations 

certification within 30 days from the PHAS 

Asset Management Transition Year 2 Notice 

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 6, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the Transition Year 2 management 

operations certification requirements under 

the Management Assessment Subsystem 

(MASS) indicator for fiscal year ending 

September 30, 2009, because the HA was not 

confident that it could accurately comply or 

replicate the requested information to meet 

the requirements of the regulation and 

believed that any attempt to do so would 

likely result in inaccurate data and incorrect 

submission. The waiver was granted for fiscal 

year ending September 30, 2009. 

Consequently, the most recent management 

operations score of record would be carried 

over to the fiscal year being assessed.

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant

Date Granted: April 6, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the Transition Year 2 management 

operations certification requirements under 

the Management Assessment Subsystem 

(MASS) indicator for fiscal year ending 

September 30, 2009, because the HA had 

neither a viable method for reconstructing 

the data, nor the staff resources to devote to 

this task given other program requirements. 

The waiver was granted for fiscal year ending 

September 30, 2009. Consequently, the most 

recent management operations score of 

record would be carried over to the fiscal 

year being assessed.

Project/Activity: Hillsboro Housing 

Authority, (KS096), Hillsboro, KS. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes that public 

housing agencies are required to submit a 

management operations certification under 

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). 

Public housing agencies that are converting 

to asset management and for which the

operations certification would impose an

certification within 30 days from the PHAS 

Asset Management Transition Year 2 Notice 

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 6, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the Transition Year 2 management 

operations certification requirements under 

the Management Assessment Subsystem 

(MASS) indicator for fiscal year ending 

September 30, 2009, because the HA’s effort 

to replicate the data needed for an accurate 

management operations certification would 

result in an administrative burden as the HA 

no longer had a viable method for 

reconstructing the data. The waiver was 

granted for fiscal year ending September 30, 

2009. Consequently, the most recent 

management operations score of record 

would be carried over to the fiscal year being 

assessed.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.40. 

Project/Activity: Brunswick Housing 

Authority, (GA009), Brunswick, GA. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes that public 

housing agencies are required to submit a 

management operations certification under 

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). 

Public housing agencies that are converting 

to asset management and for which the

operations certification would impose an

certification within 30 days from the PHAS 

Asset Management Transition Year 2 Notice 

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 09, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

acquired a new business system to capture 

the relevant data required for its conversion 

to asset management. To complete the 

Management operations certification 

requirement under the old system would 

impose an administrative burden. The waiver 

was granted for fiscal year ending June 30, 

2009, and the most recent management 

operations score of record would be carried 

over to the fiscal year being assessed.

Asset Management Transition Year 2 Notice 

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 12, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

revised its manual system to capture relevant 

data required for its conversion to asset 

management, and no longer had a viable 

method for reconstructing the data. The HA’s 

action would result in an administrative 

burden in an effort to replicate the data 

needed for accurate management operations 

certification. The waiver was granted for 

fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, and the 

most recent management operations score of 

record would be carried over to the fiscal 

year being assessed.

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 16, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

requested a waiver due to resulting hardship 

created by an extensive reorganization of 

personnel, procedures, staffing and on-going 

modification of its computer software to 

facilitate reporting in its conversion to asset 

management. The waiver was granted for 

fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, and 

the most recent management operations score 

of record would be carried over to the fiscal 

year being assessed.

operations certification requirements under 

the Management Assessment Subsystem 

(MASS) indicator for fiscal year ending June 

30, 2009, because the HA converted its 

public housing operations to asset 

management and had its staff attend the HUD 

asset management training workshops, 

provided in house-training, and implemented 

new software to convert all of their housing 

data to the new system. Reconstructing the 

current management operations certification 

data would impose an administrative 

hardship for the PHA. Consequently, the 

waiver was granted for fiscal year ending 

June 30, 2009, and the most recent 

management operations score of record 

would be carried over to the fiscal year being 

assessed.

management operations certification under 

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). 

Public housing agencies that are converting

Asset Management Transition Year 2 Notice 

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 20, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

has been fine tuning its internal systems in 

order to accurately track and report progress 

in meeting requirements based on the 

expectation that a PHAS III Final rule would 

be published by the end of the transition 

year. The waiver was granted for fiscal year 

ending June 30, 2009, and the most recent 

management operations score of record 

would be carried over to the fiscal year being 

assessed.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes that public 

housing agencies are required to submit a 

management operations certification under 

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). 

Public housing agencies that are converting 

to asset management and for which the

certification within 30 days from the PHAS 

Asset Management Transition Year 2 Notice 

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 28, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

recently underwent an in-depth assessment 

of its operations and identified significant 

deficiencies in the areas of housing 

management, maintenance, finance and 

management information systems. The 

assessment confirmed that internal 

recordkeeping and reporting systems were 

insufficient to produce accurate, 

comprehensive data necessary to complete a 

management operations certification. The 

waiver was granted for fiscal year ending 

September 30, 2009.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.40. 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority City of 

Dell (AR078), Dell, AR. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes that public 

housing agencies are required to submit a 

management operations certification under 

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). 

Public housing agencies that are converting 

to asset management and for which the 

submission of the current management 

operations certification would impose an 

administrative hardship, may request a 

waiver for their management operations 

certification within 30 days from the PHAS 

Asset Management Transition Year 2 Notice 

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 28, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver because it (1) operates fourteen public 

housing units managed by a part-time 

manager, (2) was not converting to asset 

management and (3) had not maintained 

adequate records and documentation to 

submit its management operations 

certification. The waiver was granted because 

the HA has fewer than 400 public housing 

units, and the HA had not maintained 

adequate records and documentation 

sufficient to comply with the requirements of 

24 CFR 902.40 and 24 CFR 902.43, subpart 

D. Compiling the data necessary to meet the 

requirements of Subpart D would impose an 

administrative hardship. The most recent 

management operations score of record 

would be carried over for the fiscal year 

ending December 31, 2009.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.40. 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority City of 

Augusta (GA001), Augusta, GA. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes that public 

housing agencies are required to submit a 

management operations certification under 

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). 

Public housing agencies that are converting 

to asset management and for which the

operations certification would impose an 

administrative hardship, may request a 

waiver for their management operations 

certification within 30 days from the PHAS 

Asset Management Transition Year 2 Notice 

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 28, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

converted to asset management, completed 

its staffing reorganization, updated its job 

descriptions and has been conducting ongoing staff training in preparation for the new 

roles under asset management. Additionally, 

the HA reported it has been developing 

computer software to comply with the new 

reporting requirements. Retrieving the data 

needed for an accurate management 

operations certification would result in an 

administrative hardship. The waiver was 

granted because the HA needed the time to 

complete the conversion to asset 

management. Therefore, the most recent 

management operations score of record 

would be carried over for fiscal year ending 

March 31, 2010.

Project/Activity: Housing Authority City of 

Newnan (GA095), Newnan GA. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes that public 

housing agencies are required to submit a 

management operations certification under 

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). 

Public housing agencies that are converting 

to asset management and for which the 

submission of the current management 

operations certification would impose an 

administrative hardship, may request a 

waiver for their management operations 

certification within 30 days from the PHAS 

Asset Management Transition Year 2 Notice 

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 29, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

converted to asset management, established 

three Asset Management Projects (AMPS) 

with a project manager for each AMP, and 

adopted project-based budgeting for each 

AMP. The HA also established a Central 

Office Cost Center (COCC) and has been 

developing its software systems, reporting 

procedures and internal controls in order to 

further enhance the conversion to asset 

management. The waiver was granted 

because to interrupt the HA’s progress and 

require submission of a management 

operations certification would impose an

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant

Date Granted: April 30, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

divided its operations into three Asset 

Management Projects (AMPS) and 

decentralized maintenance and purchasing 

activities. As a result, the HA no longer 

tracks management operations information. 

The waiver was granted because to submit a 

management operations certification would 

impose an administrative hardship. The most 

recent management operations score of 

record would be carried for fiscal year ending 

December 31, 2009.

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant

Date Granted: April 30, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

initiated asset management on July 1, 2007, 

and decentralized budget, accounting and its 

management systems for its housing 

developments including a new management 

software system. The waiver was granted 

because to submit a management operations 

certification would require re-programming 

the current software and reconciling data 

from prior software system. This would 

result in increased costs and create an 

administrative hardship. Consequently, the 

most recent management operations score of 

record would be carried over for the fiscal

Date Granted: April 30, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

initiated asset management on July 1, 2008, 

and converted to a new management software 

system for tracking its operations on a 

property versus agency basis. The waiver was 

granted because to submit a management 

operations certification would require site 

staff to manually track the information and 

would result in administrative hardship. The 

most recent management operations score of 

record would be carried over for fiscal year

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant

Date Granted: April 30, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA implemented and 

transitioned to asset management. The 

waiver was granted because it would require 

manually collecting the data required for

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant

Date Granted: May 10, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

began converting to asset management in 

January 2008 and has implemented and 

transitioned to asset management. The 

conversion included a realignment of staff, 

revised position descriptions and major shift 

in property management staff duties, projectbased budgeting and accounting and software 

upgrades to track and report relevant data. 

The waiver was granted because it would 

result in administrative hardship to gather 

the data for the management operations 

certification. Consequently, the most recent

would be carried over for the fiscal year 

ending December 31, 2009.

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant

Date Granted: May 10, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that 

retrieving and compiling the data from four 

property sites into one composite report 

would be an administrative hardship. The 

waiver was granted because it would take 

time and focus away to concentrate on fully 

converting the four property sites into full 

asset management. The most recent

Nature of Requirement: The regulation 

establishes that public housing agencies are

certification under Public Housing 

Assessment System (PHAS). Public housing 

agencies that are converting to asset 

management and for which the submission of 

the current management operations 

certification would impose an administrative 

hardship, may request a waiver for their 

management operations certification within 

30 days from the PHAS Asset Management 

Transition Year 2 Notice dated January 12, 

2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: May 10, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

acquired a new business system that has 

capability to track information at the project 

level. However the system was not instituted 

for the entire 2009 fiscal year. To accurately 

reflect management operations certification 

data, the HA would have to extract data from 

old and new systems and compare the two 

to ensure there is no duplicate information. 

The waiver was granted because it would 

result in administrative hardship. The most 

recent management operations score of 

record would be carried over for fiscal year 

ending June 30, 2009.

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: May 25, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

spent a large sum of money, time and 

resources in converting existing software to 

track property operations at each site and to 

comply with the new reporting requirements 

for asset management. The HA no longer 

tracks management operations PHA-wide and 

any certification provided would likely be 

inaccurate. The waiver was granted because 

it would result in administrative hardship.

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it is 

converting to asset management and has 

installed project managers and is in the 

process of converting and revising its 

software systems for tracking and reporting 

operations on a decentralized property versus 

centralized agency. The waiver was granted 

because compiling the information using the

Date Granted: May 25, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it is 

in its second year of its transition to asset 

management and has begun modifying the 

automated information systems to support 

asset management. The waiver was granted 

because to convert this data back to project 

designations in order to provide a

Reason Waived: The HA contends that it 

discontinued collecting the data required for 

a management assessment certification based 

on the expectation that a PHAS III Final Rule 

would be published by the end of the 

transition year. The waiver was granted 

because the HA would not be able to certify 

to the quality or accuracy of the information 

and that would pose an administrative 

hardship. The most recent management

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant

Date Granted: May 28, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA contends that a 

new management team has been working to 

compile, authenticate and verify the key 

management-related information to provide a 

management assessment certification. Many 

of the electronic records were apparently lost 

prior to the removal of the former executive 

director. The waiver was granted because the

administrative hardship. The most recent

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant

Date Granted: June 17, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the Transition Year 2 management 

operations certification requirements under 

the Management Assessment Subsystem 

(MASS) indicator for the fiscal year ending 

June 30, 2009, because the HA is in the 

process of converting to asset management. 

The HA divided its properties into two Asset 

Management Project (AMPs), expended large 

sums of money, time and resources in 

converting its existing software to track 

property operations at each site to comply 

with the new reporting requirements for asset 

management. In order to compile the 

information needed for certification, the HA 

would have to reconstruct the data manually 

by pulling all vacancy files and work orders. 

Retrieving the data needed for certifying 

MASS performance would result in an 

administrative hardship. The waiver was 

granted for fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, 

and the most recent management operations 

score of record would be carried over to the

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the Transition Year 2 management 

operations certification requirements under 

the Management Assessment Subsystem 

(MASS) Indicator for fiscal year ending June 

30, 2009. Submission of the management 

operations certification would impose an 

administrative burden on the HA because the 

HA has been modifying its automated 

information system to comply with asset 

management. Additionally, the HA 

encountered significant changes in its 

management staff that would pose a burden 

for the HA to submit its management 

operations certification. The waiver was 

granted because the HA is in the process of 

converting to asset management and 

submission of the management operations 

certification would impose an administrative 

hardship. The most recent management

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the Transition Year 2 management 

operations certification requirements under 

the Management Assessment Subsystem 

(MASS) Indicator for fiscal year ending 

September 30, 2009, because the HA would 

not be able to certify to the quality or 

accuracy of the MASS certification data due 

to unreasonable hardship. The waiver was 

granted and the most recent management 

operations score of record would be carried 

over to the fiscal year being assessed.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.40. 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the 

City of Harlingen, (TX065), Harlingen, TX. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes that public 

housing agencies are required to submit a 

management operations certification under 

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). 

Public housing agencies that are converting 

to asset management and for which the 

submission of the current management 

operations certification would impose an 

administrative hardship, may request a

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 190 / Friday, October 1, 2010 / Notices 60797 

waiver for their management operations 

certification within 30 days from the PHAS 

Asset Management Transition Year 2 Notice 

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: June 29, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the Transition Year 2 management 

operations certification requirements under 

the Management Assessment Subsystem 

(MASS) Indicator for fiscal year ending 

March 31, 2009, because compiling the 

information required for submission of the 

management operations certification would 

be time consuming and will result in an 

administrative hardship, as the HA is 

converting to asset management. The waiver 

was granted and the most recent management 

operations score of record would be carried 

over to the fiscal year being assessed.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.40. 

Project/Activity: Dallas Housing Authority, 

(TX009), Dallas, TX. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes that public 

housing agencies are required to submit a 

management operations certification under 

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). 

Public housing agencies that are converting 

to asset management and for which the 

submission of the current management 

operations certification would impose an 

administrative hardship, may request a 

waiver for their management operations 

certification within 30 days from the PHAS 

Asset Management Transition Year 2 Notice 

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: June 29, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the Transition Year 2 management 

operations certification requirements under 

the Management Assessment Subsystem 

(MASS) Indicator for fiscal year ending 

December 31, 2009, because the HA operates 

approximately 4,500 public housing units 

and is in Transition Year 2 of converting its 

inventory to asset management. In modifying 

its reporting and business processes to 

accommodate asset management, the HA 

would encounter a significant burden in 

trying to replicate the information needed to 

certify its MASS performance resulting in an 

administrative hardship. The waiver was 

granted and the most recent management 

operations score of record would be carried 

over to the fiscal year being assessed.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.40. 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the 

City of Oxnard, (CA031), Oxnard, CA. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes that public 

housing agencies are required to submit a 

management operations certification under 

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). 

Public housing agencies that are converting 

to asset management and for which the

operations certification would impose an 

administrative hardship, may request a

certification within 30 days from the PHAS 

Asset Management Transition Year 2 Notice 

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: June 29, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the Transition Year 2 management 

operations certification requirements under 

the Management Assessment Subsystem 

(MASS) Indicator for fiscal year ending June 

30, 2009, because the HA is in its second year 

of asset management. The HA is developing 

tracking mechanisms to support property 

operations and its compliance with the new 

reporting requirements for asset management. 

The HA no longer tracks management 

operations data PHA wide and compiling the 

information would be inaccurate and cause 

an administrative hardship. The waiver was 

granted and the most recent management 

operations score of record would be carried 

over to the fiscal year being assessed.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 902.40. 

Project/Activity: Metropolitan 

Development and Housing Agency, (TN005), 

Nashville, TN. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 902.40 establishes that public 

housing agencies are required to submit a 

management operations certification under 

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). 

Public housing agencies that are converting 

to asset management and for which the 

submission of the current management 

operations certification would impose an 

administrative hardship, may request a 

waiver for their management operations 

certification within 30 days from the PHAS 

Asset Management Transition Year 2 Notice 

dated January 12, 2010. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: June 29, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The HA requested a 

waiver of the Transition Year 2 management 

operations certification requirements under 

the Management Assessment Subsystem 

(MASS) Indicator for fiscal year ending June 

30, 2009, because the HA has converted its 

public housing operations to asset 

management and also converted to a new 

software system for tracking and reporting its 

operations on a decentralized property versus 

centralized agency basis. Currently, the HA is 

monitoring and reporting on relevant 

indicators at the Asset Management Project 

(AMP) level on a monthly basis. Compiling 

the information using the current format, 

based on a centralized model, would result 

in an unreasonable hardship. The waiver was 

granted and the most recent management 

operations score of record would be carried 

over to the fiscal year being assessed.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 941.306(b) and (c). 

Project/Activity: C.W. Brooks Midrise. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulations 

at 24 CFR 941.306(b) and (c) require that the 

construction of units is within the Total 

Development Costs (TDC) and limits Housing 

Construction Costs (HCC). 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary of Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: March 7, 2010. 

Reason Waived: The Housing Authority of 

the City of Hagerstown, MD received funds 

under the American Reinvestment and 

Recovery Act (ARRA) to meet the Green 

Communities Criteria and complete 60 public 

housing units. A waiver of TDC/HCC limits 

is allowed under the ARRA and in the Notice 

of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the 

Capital Fund Recovery Competition Grants 

(CFRC) for the use of ARRA funds in the 

redevelopment of public housing units.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 941.606(n)(1)(ii). 

Project/Activity: Gibson Plaza Apartments. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 941.606(n)(1)(ii) requires public 

housing agencies to certify that they will use 

an open and competitive process to select its 

partners. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary of Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: May 14, 2010. 

Reason Waived: HUD reviewed and 

acknowledged District of Columbia Housing 

Authority (DCHA) decision to procure First 

Baptist through a noncompetitive proposal. 

As a result, DCHA could not submit the 

certifications and assurances that it would 

use an open and competitive process to select 

its partners. HUD found good cause to grant 

the waiver for the limited purpose of 

selecting First Baptist as the development 

partner for the mixed-finance project at 

Gibson Apartments.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.305(c)(4). 

Project/Activity: Southern Nevada Regional 

Housing Authority (SNRHA), Las Vegas, NV. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 982.305(c)(4) provides that any 

housing assistance payments (HAP) contract 

executed after 60 calendar days from the 

beginning of the lease term is void and the 

public housing Agency (PHA) may not pay 

any HAP to the owner. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 22, 2010. 

Reason Waived: Las Vegas and Clark 

County Housing Authorities merged on 

January 1, 2010. Pursuant to this merger, it 

was discovered that several HAP contracts 

had not been executed during the requisite 

time period. The regulation was waived since 

failure to execute those HAP contracts after 

the due date was not the fault of the SNRHA 

and to ensure continued rental assistance to 

families under those HAP contracts.

982.505(c)(3). 

Project/Activity: Municipality of San Juan 

Public Housing Authority (MSJPHA), San 

Juan, PR. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 982.503(d) provides that HUD may 

consider and approve a PHA’s establishment 

of a payment standard lower than the basic 

range, but that HUD will not approve a lower 

payment standard if the family share for 

more than 40 percent of participants in the 

PHA’s Housing Choice Voucher program 

exceeds 30 percent of adjusted monthly 

income. The regulation at 24 CFR 

982.505(c)(3) provides that if the amount on 

the payment standard schedule is decreased 

during the term of the HAP contract, the 

lower payment standard amount generally 

must be used to calculate the monthly HAP 

for the family beginning at the effective date 

of the family’s second regular reexamination 

following the effective date of the decrease. 

Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: May 26, 2010. 

Reason Waived: These waivers were 

granted because these cost-saving measures 

would enable MSJPHA to both manage its

lessen the termination of HAP contracts due 

to insufficient funding.

Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation 

at 24 CFR 982.505(d) states that a public
