62194 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 200 / Thursday, October 16, 2014 / Notices 

• For the third round of CDBG–DR funding 

for Sandy recovery, HUD includes four 

additional sources of information: 

1. US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) 

Infrastructure Resilience Coordination 

(extracted June 2013). Many USACE Sandy 

projects require very high local cost shares. 

However, Federal requirements only allow 

grantees to no more than $250,000 of CDBG– 

DR funding towards local match 

requirements for these projects. As such, this 

calculation only includes $250,000 per 

USACE project where local match is higher 

than that amount. 

2. DOT, Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA) Sandy Recovery Grants—Emergency 

Relief (ER) (extracted June 2013). We include 

an estimate of the local cost share from this 

program. To calculate this estimate, we only 

include 20% of non-quick release Sandy ER 

project estimates as of July 2013. 

3. DOT, Federal Transit Administration 

(FTA) Transit Emergency Relief (ER) 

(extracted June 2013). We include the 10% 

local cost share for these transit projects. 

Note, since much of the New York City 

transit damage is owned by a state 

organization, the Metropolitan 

Transportation Authority, New York State 

receives the vast majority of need from this 

grant. Also note that the State of New Jersey 

receives 66% of the local match requirement 

from the Port Authority’s match requirement; 

New York State receives 34% of the 

Authority’s match requirement. 

4. USDA Emergency Watershed Repair 

Program (extracted May 2014). For most 

impacted disasters in 2011, 2012, and 2013 

that have not received supplemental funding 

to address watershed repairs, HUD includes 

the estimated unmet repair costs calculated 

by USDA in the unmet repair needs 

calculation. 

Calculating Economic Revitalization (Small 

Business) Needs 

• Based on SBA disaster loans to 

businesses (extracted January 2014), HUD 

used the sum of real property and real 

content loss of small businesses not receiving 

an SBA disaster loan. This is adjusted 

upward by the proportion of applications 

that were received for a disaster that content 

and real property loss were not calculated 

because the applicant had inadequate credit 

or income. For example, if a state had 160 

applications for assistance, 150 had 

calculated needs and 10 were denied in the 

pre-processing stage for not enough income 

or poor credit, the estimated unmet need 

calculation would be increased as (1 + 10/

160) * calculated unmet real content loss. 

• Because applications denied for poor 

credit or income are the most likely measure 

of needs requiring the type of assistance 

available with CDBG–DR funds, the 

calculated unmet business needs for each 

state are adjusted upwards by the proportion 

of total applications that were denied at the 

pre-process stage because of poor credit or 

inability to show repayment ability. Similar 

to housing, estimated damage is used to 

determine what unmet needs will be counted 

as severe unmet needs. Only properties with 

total real estate and content loss in excess of 

$30,000 are considered severe damage for 

purposes of identifying the most impacted 

and distressed areas. 

Æ Category 1: real estate + content loss = 

below $12,000 

Æ Category 2: real estate + content loss = 

$12,000 to $30,000 

Æ Category 3: real estate + content loss = 

$30,000 to $65,000 

Æ Category 4: real estate + content loss = 

$65,000 to $150,000 

Æ Category 5: real estate + content loss = 

above $150,000 

To obtain unmet business needs, the 

amount for approved SBA loans is subtracted 

out of the total estimated damage. 

Resiliency Needs 

CDBG Disaster Recovery Funds are often 

used to not only support rebuilding to prestorm conditions, but also to build back 

much stronger. For the disasters covered by 

this Notice, HUD has required that grantees 

use their funds in a way that results in 

rebuilding back stronger so that future 

disasters do less damage and recovery can 

happen faster. To calculate these resiliency 

costs, HUD multiplied it estimates of total 

repair costs for seriously damaged homes, 

small businesses, and infrastructure by 30 

percent. Total repair costs are the repair costs 

including costs covered by insurance, SBA, 

FEMA, and other federal agencies. The 

resiliency estimate at 30 percent of damage 

is intended to reflect some of the unmet 

needs associated with building to higher 

standards such as elevating homes, voluntary 

buyouts, hardening, and other costs in excess 

of normal repair costs. Note that because 

FEMA Public Assistance does not include the 

estimated cost to repair Public Housing that 

is covered by private insurance, HUD adds to 

its resiliency calculation 30 percent times the 

insurance payment for Public Housing 

repairs. 

Housing and Small Business Construction 

Cost Adjustment 

Prior to making this final allocation, HUD 

staff carefully reviewed the housing programs 

being operated by New York City and New 

Jersey. Out of this analysis came the 

observation that higher construction costs in 

New York and New Jersey were not being 

adequately accounted for in HUD’s base 

formula for determining relative share of 

funding among the 2011, 2012, and 2013 

disasters. As a result, for this allocation, HUD 

has increased its estimate of severe unmet 

housing and business repair and resiliency 

needs to account for these higher 

construction costs. To do this, HUD used the 

same Marshall & Swift regional cost 

adjustment multipliers used for HUD’s 

annual calculation of Total Development 

Costs developed for HUD’s public housing 

repair programs. The specific construction 

cost multiplier used for adjusting the above 

calculations of unmet housing and business 

needs for each grantee was as follows: 

Connecticut: 1.19 

Maryland: 1.00 

New York State: 1.44 

New York City: 1.45 

New Jersey: 1.34 

Rhode Island: 1.00
