Public Housing Drug Elimination Program Formula Allocation

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This final rule amends HUD regulations to replace the
competitive distribution of HUD's Public and Indian Housing Drug
Elimination Program (PHDEP) funds with a formula allocation funding
system. The purpose of this amendment is to provide a more timely,
predictable and equitable allocation of PHDEP funds, and to improve
program quality, effectiveness and accountability. The competitive
distribution of funding through the Assisted Housing component of the
Drug Elimination Program is not affected by this rule.

DATES: Effective Date: October 14, 1999.
Application Due Date: (for eligible PHAs listed in the preamble who
have not yet submitted an application for funding): October 14, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Eligible PHAs listed in the preamble who have not yet
submitted an application for funding must submit an original and two
copies of the information requested in the Notice Withdrawing and
Reissuing FY 1999 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the FY 1999
Public Housing Drug Elimination Program (PHDEP), published on May 12,
1999 (64 FR 25746) to the local Field Office with delegated public
housing responsibilities: Attention: Director, Office of Public
Housing. For a listing of Field Offices, please see the application
kit, or the Appendix published in the February 26, 1999 SuperNOFA at 64
FR 9767.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Section 586 of the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of
1998 (Pub.L. 105-276, 112 Stat. 2461, approved October 21, 1998)
(Public Housing Reform Act) makes certain amendments to the Public and
Assisted Housing Drug Elimination Act of 1990, including authorizing
HUD to make renewable grants to continue or expand eligible drug
elimination activities.
On February 18, 1999 (64 FR 8210), HUD published an Advance Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) to solicit comments on possible methods
and elements of a need-based formula and performance criteria. HUD
received 60 comments in response to the ANPR, which were considered in
the development of a proposed rule on formula funding for PHDEP. The
proposed rule was published on May 12, 1999 (64 FR 25736). HUD received
26 comments on the proposed rule, which are discussed in the following
section.

II. Public Comment on the Proposed Rule

This final rule takes into consideration the comments received on
the proposed rule, as discussed below.

Formula Funding

Comment: Allocation of funding on formula basis is good, however
factors used (applicant's share of total number of units of all
applicants that qualify for funding) will result in agency experiencing
a $100,000 loss of funding. Recommend a ``hold harmless'' provision for
successful PHA performers for no less than the average funding they
received in FY 96, 97, or 98. A minimum or ``hold harmless'' annual
PHDEP funding level must be established to do adequate planning.
HUD response: As HUD discussed in the preamble to the proposed rule
in response to similar comments submitted on the ANPR published on
February 18, 1999, the certainty of funding over a five-year period
provides compensation for problems resulting from a drop in funding
from higher, though less certain, levels. Crime is a widespread
problem, and one of HUD's goals in revising the funding distribution
process is to make assistance to address this problem more widely
available. HUD is also attempting to strike an appropriate balance to
maximize the effective use of limited funds. The available funding can
address only a fraction of the need across all PHAs. Increasing funding
for one group decreases funding available for those outside the group,
and HUD is concerned that the suggested ``hold harmless'' level of
funding would result in a program that, overall, would be less
effective.
Comment: The proposed rule assumes that drug activity and related
crime in preference category applicants will remain static, not
changing character or increasing over the 5-year period. This locks an
applicant into a funding level that cannot be adjusted to deal with
unforeseen changes.
HUD response: The certainty of funding under the formula
distribution system in this rule provides a greater level of
flexibility to address unforeseen changes than the previous competitive
funding system did. Eligible applicants are required to submit a plan
for each year of funding, and it is anticipated that each year's grant
would normally cover a two year grant period, the same as under the
previous funding system. Unforeseen changes arising in one year could
be addressed in the next year's plan, for which funding could be used
over a one-year grant period, if necessary to address the unforeseen
changes. The certainty of renewable funding, combined with a PHA's
ability to plan for one-or two-year grant terms, provides a wide
latitude for PHAs to address their crime problems.
Comment: The proposed rule assumes that public housing in every PHA
in the preference category is of a similar size, type, and geographic
distribution. PHAs with higher numbers of scattered site units require
different, more costly, law enforcement strategies. A formula
distribution according to unit count does not adequately capture the
severity of crime and related issues in and around the developments of
eligible PHAs. A multiplier, directly proportional to the number of
drug related crimes reported by the local police department to be
related to the activity generated in or around targeted public housing
units, divided by the number of drug-related crimes in the surrounding
police district, would have the effect of increasing the number of
units in specific developments.
HUD response: Not only the number of scattered site units, but
their geographic distribution, could be considered a factor in a
formula to distribute funds. This one example demonstrates the
complexity that each new factor introduces to a formula and

[[Page 49901]]

the difficulty of addressing each factor completely and fairly. HUD is
opting to follow the simplified per unit approach that many of the
comments on the ANPR and proposed rule favored. If experience
demonstrates that this approach is not appropriate or can be
significantly improved, HUD will undertake additional rulemaking.
Comment: Although many comments favored the simplified per unit
approach to the formula, several comments complained about the
reduction in the per unit amount that results under the formula.
HUD response: As noted above, this rule makes the amount of
assistance available to fight crime more widely available. This
necessarily results in a reduction of the per unit amount that was
formerly available to successful applicants, but as also noted above,
this reduction in funding for a particular year is balanced by the
certainty of funding over a number of years.

Minimum and Maximum Allocation

Comment: There were several comments that addressed maximum and
minimum allocations, with some supporting $25,000 as the minimum
funding allocation, and others recommending that the minimum amount of
funding should be retained at $50,000. There was a suggestion that all
PHAs that have received funding at some time in the last three years
should be capped at 105 percent to prevent windfalls. One comment
stated the funding cap per PHA should remain $35 million per year.
HUD response: The comments were not opposed, but were concerned
with the fairness of the maximum and minimum allocations. This final
rule makes one adjustment to the proposed $25,000 funding minimum. PHAs
with less than 50 units are capped at $500 per unit. HUD is following
this approach to prevent the unfairness of a small number of eligible
PHAs being awarded up to $2,000 per unit under a $25,000 minimum.

Formula Funding and Performance Measures

Comment: There were numerous comments on performance measures and
what their impact should be on formula funding: the formula should be
flexible to allow for an increase in funding with demonstrated program
success or innovation; measurable goals should be tailored to the local
plan and not national in scope; tailoring the program evaluation and
monitoring to the local level will more accurately measure its success;
not only reduction of violent crime and drug use should be
demonstrated, but also prevention should be considered a measurable
goal; local diversity in PHDEP programs should be supported instead of
a mandated set of criteria established in Washington; highly effective
drug elimination and prevention programs may achieve crime levels so
low that they cannot demonstrate further reductions from year to year--
they might instead be asked to show that their program has reduced the
overall level of violent crime and drug use in public housing to below
the level of the surrounding community; HUD should include prevention
activities in ``measurable goals'' even though we recognize the
difficulty in quantifying them short term.
HUD response: The issue of increasing funding for demonstrated
success or innovation raises practical difficulties, and ties in with
the issue of performance measures. HUD agrees that the use of crime
rates alone is not the most reliable or effective measure of a
grantee's performance. HUD is also aware that reporting and analysis of
crime rates lag behind the implementation of program activities, and
such data may not reflect current conditions. A rise or fall in crime
rates is also not an absolute measure of success or failure, as one can
argue that successful implementation of activities may not have caused
a decline in the crime rate, but did result in a less steep increase.
A more reliable indicator of performance results from an
examination of both crime rates and implementation performance--the
extent to which a grantee performs all proposed activities within the
budget and timetable included in its approved Drug Elimination Program
(DEP) plan. HUD will compare a grantee's implementation performance to
the crime rates reported by the grantee to see if valid patterns of
correspondence are present or can be developed, such as a good
implementation performance corresponding to a decrease in crime rates,
and a poor implementation performance corresponding to increased crime
rates. Even though such a correspondence will not always be the case,
this comparison would provide valuable information to improve the DEP
program and measure a grantee's performance. Good implementation
performance and reduced crime rates would tend to identify successful
best practices and activities. Good implementation performance but
increased crime rates would require additional analysis to determine if
the chosen activities are not effective or appropriate to a grantee's
particular circumstances. Poor performance and increased crime rates
would indicate a category of grantees that would require the most
immediate and highest level of increased attention and technical
assistance. Poor performance and decreasing crime rates would identify
a second tier of attention and assistance, but would also call into
question the necessity of continued funding.
Any record of performance on this basis would have to be considered
and analyzed over a period of several funding cycles before it could
identify factors that would validly serve for adjusting funding levels.
HUD believes, however, that such factors will emerge, and they will be
the subject of future rulemaking.

Eligibility for Funding

Comment: Using ``prior funding status'' as a threshold of
eligibility does not support a pragmatic needs-based interpretation of
QHWRA. HUD only considers PHAs who actually received PHDEP funding
versus all agencies that were eligible (based on need in past years)
but did not receive funding. Support increasing the threshold to
include as many agencies as are eligible and for whom funds are
available.
HUD response: HUD agrees to expand the ``needs'' category of
eligible applicants to include those PHAs that applied under the PHDEP
competitive NOFAs for Fiscal Years (FYs) 1996, 1997, or 1998 and
received scores above the threshold to qualify for funding (70 points),
but were not funded because of lack of available funds. The
participation of this category of PHAs in the complex and difficult
process of preparing applications under the NOFAs, which would not be
undertaken but for the urgency of these PHA's need for assistance, and
the finding that these applications were meritorious, provide a
sufficient showing to prevent them from being excluded from funding
under the new process.
Comment: Several comments suggested additional or different factors
to consider to determine ``needs'' eligibility for funding: use
percentage of victimization of residents by Part I and II crimes;
include assumption that family developments have higher crime rates and
should receive a higher rate of funding; compare the public housing
crime rates in each community to the larger community's rate, and
select PHAs with rates 10% or more higher than the community's; require
that crime levels within the city in which the PHA is located must
exceed the state crime levels by 20% and the national crime levels by
50%; determine whether the PHA has established a self-

[[Page 49902]]

sufficiency program to assist in creating jobs and preventing crime;
determine whether the PHA has additional unique characteristics (such
as cultural demographic shifts or additional expenses); look at the
changes in a community's crime statistics over a given period of time;
consider that the FBI's violent crime rates are not a highly reliable
measurement for making funding eligibility distinctions between cities.
In addition, applicants in the ``preference'' category should be
eligible for additional funding under the ``needs'' category.
HUD response: While acknowledging that the FBI statistics used in
the eligibility determination formula have flaws, HUD also acknowledges
them to be the only source of verified, nationwide (and therefore
fairly comparable) data available. As discussed above, this rule
expands the ``needs'' category of eligible applicants to include
applicants that would have qualified for funding in FYs 1996, 1997 or
1998, but were not funded because of the unavailability of funds. HUD
declines at this time to further refine or complicate the process for
identifying eligible applicants. HUD believes that the eligible
applicants included by the funding categories under this rule--the
previously funded ``preference'' category, and the ``formula'' and
``previously qualified but not funded'' needs categories--constitute
virtually every PHA with a serious need for this program funding.

Scope of Activities

Comment: Supports the expansion of the program scope to include
violent crime. HUD should also publish a list of eligible activities
that specifically meet criteria for addressing violent crime.
HUD response: Although the section 586 of the Public Housing Reform
Act expanded the scope of PHDEP to specifically include a focus on
violent crime, HUD has always encouraged grantees to take a broader
approach to address drug-related crime and related problems under
PHDEP. The current guidance, accordingly, is broad enough to provide
initial guidance for addressing violent crime. As HUD and its grantees
develop their expertise in this specific area, additional guidance will
be developed.
Comment: The proposed rule does not take into account the
additional cost of law enforcement services and accreditation for PHAs
with their own police departments.
Those PHAs with police departments need additional funding to
accredit and maintain this needed resource. Large PHAs spend upwards of
6 times as much per unit on security than small PHAs.
HUD response: The rule does not allocate funds on the basis of the
activities an applicant chooses to undertake. Any funding system
established on such a basis would soon have to be revised to prevent
all of the funding from going to the applicants that proposed the most
costly activities.

Set-asides

Comment: Several comments opposed the set-aside of funds
appropriated for PHDEP for other programs, pointing out, for example,
that set-asides decrease the amount of money available to PHAs who have
consistently demonstrated need and implemented successful local
programs.
HUD response: The Department is required to follow the mandates
established by Congress, and where legislation directs HUD to use funds
for a particular purpose, HUD must comply.

Plan Submission

Comment: Some Moving To Work (MTW) agencies were exempt from the
Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) under 24 CFR part 901 and
submission of a PHA plan--this rule requires a DEP plan to be submitted
with the Agency plan--need for clarification of process.
HUD response: While some (not all) MTW agencies are exempt from the
PHA plan, they must submit an MTW plan that is comparable to the PHA
Plan. Such agencies should submit the DEP plan required information
with their MTW plan, and this rule is amended to so provide. HUD will
also clarify this requirement directly with the affected agencies.

Compliance with MTCS

Comment: Until HUD fixes its internal (MTCS) data collection and
reporting problems, HUD should not threaten the funding of agencies,
which the Department assumes have not correctly submitted their data.
The requirement that PHAs ``maintain a level of compliance with MTCS
reporting that is satisfactory to HUD'' is arbitrary and not specific
enough. It also overlooks the flaws in the MTCS reporting system.
HUD response: MTCS is a fully functional system. It is HUD's
primary data system for information on public housing and Section 8
family characteristics and occupancy events. PHAs are required to
submit Forms HUD-50058 for every public housing and Section 8 tenant-
based assistance family. HUD issued Notice PIH 99-2 on January 28,
1999, to clarify the minimum reporting requirements and to establish a
system of monitoring and technical assistance, semi-annual assessment,
and formal review and sanctions. Under the Notice, HUD may impose
sanctions on PHAs that do not meet the minimum 85 percent reporting
level, which is determined at the semi-annual assessments (following
the June and December MTCS Delinquency reports). PHAs may request
forbearance from sanctions in writing. The request must include an
explanation of why the PHA has not attained the minimum reporting
level, steps that it plans to take to improve reporting, and monthly
milestones. PHAs that do not meet the minimum reporting level and do
not obtain forbearance are subject to sanction. For PHDEP, the relevant
reporting rate is for public housing only. PHDEP grantees that do not
meet the minimum reporting level and do not obtain forbearance from
sanctions are subject to a review of their operations that would affect
MTCS reporting, as well as sanctions, which may include the PHA's
inability to draw down grant funds. HUD will work with PHAs to help
them meet the minimum reporting rate.

Resident Survey

Comment: Formula funding was intended to reduce the cost incurred
by agencies for grant writing and data gathering--however, the required
(resident) survey will increase costs to agencies. Agencies in wide
geographic areas will have difficulty administering and processing the
survey. Housing Authorities with 400 or fewer eligible units do not
have the resources to conduct the required 400-interview resident
survey. They should be allowed to survey 20-30 percent of their
population.
HUD response: HUD will modify the reporting requirement to require
a percent, rather than an absolute number, that smaller PHAs will be
responsible for surveying.

Clarification of Unit Count

Comment: The rule implies that an approved demolition/disposition
unit is excluded as a source of crime. In fact, the complex process
that precedes the actual removal of these units from a PHA's
responsibility can take months. During this time the partially or fully
vacated buildings are at greater risk.
HUD response: The final rule clarifies the unit count process by
specifically stating what units will be counted and by providing that
units approved for demolition/disposition continue to be counted for
funding purposes until actual demolition/disposition of the unit.

[[Page 49903]]

Financial Incentive for Consortia

Comment: Providing a financial incentive only for consortia ignores
agencies that serve broad geographic areas with diverse population and
demographic needs.
HUD response: Because there were no additional comments or
recommendations pertaining to consortia, this rule makes no changes
from the proposed rule on this issue.

III. Separate Issues and Funding for NAHASDA Recipients

The May 12, 1999, proposed rule specifically invited comment on
separate funding options for NAHASDA recipients, including the
establishment of a separate funding pool to address the particular
circumstances of Indian country. As a result, a substantial percentage
of the comments received on the proposed rule were from Indian Tribes
or Tribal Organizations. These comments unanimously supported a
separate pool for Indian Country, stating such an approach was
warranted because of the differences in PHAs and Indian Country. The
lack of FBI data on Indian Country, for example, would penalize NAHASDA
recipients because the formula uses crime statistics to determine
eligibility for funding.
The comments include a number of recommendations for administering
a separate funding pool, including that unit counts should reflect
current unit counts under the NAHASDA funds plan, including 1937 Act
units and additional units added to the inventory; that HUD apply the
requirements in 24 CFR 1000.317 and 1000.327 of the NAHASDA regulations
to the Indian set-aside; and that NAHASDA recipients should be allowed
to use Tribal police data, court data, child welfare data, educational
attainment indicators, or other comparable data when reporting
activities.
HUD is conducting an ongoing consultation with the Tribes on the
particulars of an appropriate DEP funding process and has forwarded
information on a number of proposals for comment to each Tribe. HUD
expects to implement a Drug Elimination Program with requirements that
specifically address Tribal concerns and issues through a rule to be
published separately in the near future.

IV. Changes in This Final Rule

As discussed below in this section and in sections II. and III.,
above, of this preamble, only a limited number of changes are made to
the proposed rule by this final rule, as follows:
The references to NAHASDA recipients are taken out, except where
they would be applicable in any subsequent rule, such as retaining the
definition of ``NAHASDA recipient'' in Sec. 761.10. DEP funding for
NAHASDA recipients will be added by a separate rule as discussed above
in section III. of this preamble.
Section 761.13(a)(1) is amended to include the cap of $500 per unit
for PHAs with less than 50 units and to specifically state what units
are counted, including providing that units approved for demolition/
disposition continue to be counted for funding purposes until actual
demolition/disposition of the unit.
Section 761.13(a)(3) is amended to make explicit the link between
funding adjustments and sanctions by adding language that funding and
meeting performance requirements are subject to the existing sanctions
in Sec. 761.30(f).
Section 761.15(a)(3) is amended to include the new needs funding
category of PHAs that submitted FY 1996, 1997 or 1998 applications that
qualified for funding but were not funded because of the unavailability
of funds.
Section 761.15(a)(5) is amended to require MTW agencies to submit
the DEP plan required information with their MTW plan.

V. Distribution of FY 1999 PHDEP Funding and List of PHAs Eligible
for Funding

The following tables lists all of the PHAs determined to be
currently eligible for PHDEP funding in accordance with this final
rule. The third column, ``Eligibility,'' gives the basis on which the
PHA is eligible for funding. A designation of ``N1'' in the first
column means the PHA was designated eligible on the basis of need as
determined under the formula in Sec. 761.15(a)(3). A designation of
``N2'' means the PHA is eligible on the basis of need as a PHA that
qualified for funding under FYs 1996, 1997 or 1998, but was not funded
because of the unavailability of funds, in accordance with
Sec. 761.15(a)(4). A designation of ``R'' means the PHA is eligible for
funding as a ``preference PHA'' under Sec. 761.15(a)(2).
An ``X'' in the fourth column, ``Application Received,'' identifies
PHAs that have submitted their PHDEP applications in response to the
May 12, 1999, Notice Withdrawing and Reissuing the FY 1999 PHDEP NOFA
(64 FR 25746). These PHAs are not required to make any additional
submissions to receive FY 1999 PHDEP funding. Any PHA included in the
list that has not yet submitted an application in accordance with the
May 12, 1999 notice must do so within the next 30 days, up to and
including the effective date of this final rule, or it will not receive
FY 1999 PHDEP funding.
The total amount to be distributed is approximately $231,750,000 in
FY 1999 funding. The amount to be distributed to each listed PHA that
has applied or will apply within the next 30 days will be computed in
accordance with the formula in Sec. 761.13 of this final rule.

* * * * *
6. The heading of subpart B is revised to read as follows:

Subpart B--Grant Funding

7. A new Sec. 761.13 is added to read as follows:

Sec. 761.13 Amount of funding.

(a) PHDEP formula funding. (1) Funding share formula. (i) Per unit
amount. Subject to the availability of funding, the amount of funding
made available each FFY to an applicant that qualifies for funding in
accordance with Sec. 761.15(a) is based upon the applicant's share of
the total number of units of all applicants that qualify for funding,
with a maximum award of $35 million and a minimum award of $25,000,
except that qualified applicants with less than 50 units will not
receive more than $500 per unit.
(ii) Calculation of number of units. For purposes of determining
the number of units counted for purposes of the PHDEP formula, HUD
shall count as one unit each existing rental and Section 23 bond-
financed unit under the ACC. Units that are added to a PHA's inventory
will be added to the overall unit count so long as the units are under
ACC amendment and have reached DOFA by the date HUD establishes for the
Federal Fiscal Year in which the PHDEP formula is being run (hereafter
called the ``reporting date''). Any such increase in units shall result
in an adjustment upwards in the number of units under the PHDEP
formula. New units reaching DOFA after this date will be counted for
PHDEP formula purposes as of the following Federal Fiscal Year.
Federalized units that are eligible for operating subsidy will be
counted for PHDEP formula purposes based on the unit count reflected on
the PHA's most recently approved Operating Budget (Form HUD-52564) and/
or subsidy calculation (Form HUD-52723), or successor form submitted
for that program. Units approved for demolition/disposition continue to
be counted for PHDEP formula funding purposes until actual demolition/
disposition of the unit.
(2) Consortium funding. The amount of funding made available to a
consortium will be the total of the amounts that each individual member
would otherwise qualify to receive under the PHDEP funding formula in
accordance with paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
(3) Adjustments to funding. The amount of funding made available
each FFY to an applicant in accordance with paragraphs (a)(1) and
(a)(2) of this section may be adjusted as follows:
(i) An applicant must submit a PHDEP plan that meets the
requirements of Sec. 761.21, as required by Sec. 761.15(a)(5), each FFY
year to receive that FFY's funding. An applicant that does not submit a
PHDEP plan for a FFY as required will not receive that FFY's funding.
(ii) Ineligible activities, described at Sec. 761.17(b), are not
eligible for funding. Activities proposed for funding in an applicant's
PHDEP plan that are determined to be ineligible will not be funded, and
the applicant's funding for that FFY may be reduced accordingly.
(iii) In accordance with Sec. 761.15(a)(6), an applicant that does
not meet the performance requirements of Sec. 761.23 will be subject to
the sanctions listed in Sec. 761.30(f)(2).
(iv) Both the amount of and continuing eligibility for funding is
subject to the sanctions in Sec. 761.30(f).
(v) Any amounts that become available because of adjustments to an
applicant's funding will be distributed to every other applicant that
qualifies for funding in accordance with paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2)
of this section.
(b) AHDEP funding. Information concerning funding made available
under AHDEP for a given FFY will be contained in Notices of Funding
Availability (NOFAs) published in the Federal Register.
8. Section 761.15 is revised to read as follows:

Sec. 761.15 Qualifying for funding.

(a) Qualifications for PHDEP funding. (1) Eligible applicants. The
following are eligible applicants for PHDEP funding:
(i) A PHA;
(ii) An RMC; and
(iii) A consortium of PHAs.
(2) Preference PHAs. A PHA that successfully competed for PHDEP
funding under at least one of the PHDEP NOFAs for FFY 1996, FFY 1997 or
FFY 1998 qualifies to receive PHDEP funding.
(3) Needs qualification for funding. An eligible applicant that
does not qualify to receive PHDEP funding under paragraph (a)(2) of
this section must be in one of the following needs categories to
qualify for funding:
(i) The eligible applicant must be in the top 50% of the unit-
weighted distribution of an index of a rolling average rate of violent
crimes of the community, as computed for each Federal Fiscal Year
(FFY). The crime rate used in this needs determination formula is the
rate, from the most recent years feasible, of FBI violent crimes per
10,000 residents of the community (or communities). If this information
is not available for a particular applicant's community, HUD will use
the average of data from recipients of a comparable State and size
category of PHA (less than 500 units, 500 to 1249 units, and more than
1250 units). If fewer than five PHAs have data for a given size
category within a State, then the average of PHAs for a given size
category within the census region will be used; or
(ii) The eligible applicant must have qualified for PHDEP funding,
by receiving an application score of 70 or more points under any one of
the PHDEP NOFAs for FFY 1996, FFY 1997 or FFY 1998, but not have
received an award because of the unavailability of funds.

[[Page 49919]]

(4) Consortium of eligible applicants. Eligible applicants may join
together and form a consortium to apply for funding, whether or not
each member would individually qualify for PHDEP funding under
paragraphs (a)(2) or (a)(3) of this section. The act of two or more
eligible applicants joining together to form a consortium, and
identifying related crime problems and eligible activities to address
those problems pursuant to a consortium PHDEP plan, qualifies the
consortium for PHDEP funding of an amount as determined under
Sec. 761.13(a)(2).
(5) PHDEP plan requirement. (i) PHAs. Except as provided in
paragraph (a)(5)(ii), below, of this section, to receive PHDEP funding,
a PHA that qualifies to receive PHDEP funding for Federal Fiscal Year
2000 and beyond must include a PHDEP plan that meets the requirements
of Sec. 761.21 with its PHA Plan submitted pursuant to part 903 of this
title for each Federal Fiscal Year for which it qualifies for funding.
(ii) To receive PHDEP funding, a PHA that qualifies to receive
PHDEP funding and is operating under an executed Moving To Work (MTW)
agreement with HUD must submit a PHDEP plan that meets the requirements
of Sec. 761.21 with its required MTW plan for each Federal Fiscal Year
for which it qualifies for funding.
(iii) RMCs. To receive PHDEP funding, an RMC operating in an PHA
that qualifies to receive PHDEP funding must submit a PHDEP plan for
the units managed by the RMC that meets the requirements of Sec. 761.21
to its PHA. Upon agreement between the RMC and PHA, the PHA must submit
to HUD, with its PHA Plan submitted pursuant to part 903 of this title,
the RMC's PHDEP plan. The RMC will implement its plan as a subrecipient
of the PHA.
(iv) Consortia. To receive PHDEP funding, the consortium members
must prepare and submit a consortium PHDEP plan that meets the
requirements of Sec. 761.21, including the additional requirements that
apply to consortia. Each member must submit the consortium plan with
its PHA plan, submitted pursuant to part 903 of this title, or IHP,
submitted pursuant to subpart C of part 1000 of this title, as
appropriate.
(6) An otherwise qualified recipient PHA, RMC or consortium may not
be funded if HUD determines, on a case-by-case basis, that it does not
meet the performance requirements of Sec. 761.23.
(b) Qualifications for AHDEP funding. Under AHDEP, eligible
applicants are owners of federally assisted low-income housing, as the
term Federally assisted low-income housing is defined in Sec. 761.10.
Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) published in the Federal
Register will contain specific information concerning funding
requirements and eligible and ineligible applicants and activities.
9. A new Sec. 761.17 is added to subpart B to read as follows:

Sec. 761.17 Eligible and ineligible activities for funding.

(a) Eligible activities. One or more of the eligible activities
described in 42 U.S.C. 11903 and in this Sec. 761.17(a) are eligible
for funding under PHDEP or AHDEP, as further explained or limited in
paragraph (b) of this section and, for AHDEP, in separate annual
Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs). All personnel funded by these
programs in accordance with an eligible activity must meet, and
demonstrate compliance with, all relevant Federal, State, tribal, or
local government insurance, licensing, certification, training,
bonding, or other similar law enforcement requirements.
(1) Employment of security personnel, as provided in 42 U.S.C.
11903(a)(1), with the following additional requirements:
(i) Security guard personnel. (A) Contract security personnel
funded by this program must perform services not usually performed by
local law enforcement agencies on a routine basis. The applicant must
identify the baseline services provided by the local law enforcement
agency.
(B) The applicant, the provider (contractor) of the security
personnel and, only if the local law enforcement agency is receiving
any PHDEP funds from the applicant, the local law enforcement agency,
are required, as a part of the security personnel contract, to enter
into and execute a written agreement that describes the following:
(1) The activities to be performed by the security personnel, their
scope of authority, and how they will coordinate their activities with
the local law enforcement agency;
(2) The types of activities that the security personnel are
expressly prohibited from undertaking.
(ii) Employment of HA police. (A) If additional HA police are to be
employed for a service that is also provided by a local law enforcement
agency, the applicant must undertake and retain a cost analysis that
demonstrates the employment of HA police is more cost efficient than
obtaining the service from the local law enforcement agency.
(B) Additional HA police services to be funded under this program
must be over and above those that the existing HA police, if any,
provides, and the tribal, State or local government is contractually
obligated to provide under its Cooperation Agreement with the applying
HA (as required by the HA's Annual Contributions Contract). An
applicant seeking funding for this activity must first establish a
baseline by describing the current level of services provided by both
the local law enforcement agency and the HA police, if any (in terms of
the kinds of services provided, the number of officers and equipment
and the actual percent of their time assigned to the developments
proposed for funding), and then demonstrate that the funded activity
will represent an increase over this baseline.
(C) If the local law enforcement agency is receiving any PHDEP
funds from the applicant, the applicant and the local law enforcement
agency are required to enter into and execute a written agreement that
describes the following:
(1) The activities to be performed by the HA police, their scope of
authority, and how they will coordinate their activities with the local
law enforcement agency;
(2) The types of activities that the HA police are expressly
prohibited from undertaking.
(2) Reimbursement of local law enforcement agencies for additional
security and protective services, as provided in 42 U.S.C. 11903(a)(2),
with the following additional requirements:
(i) Additional security and protective services to be funded must
be over and above those that the tribal, State, or local government is
contractually obligated to provide under its Cooperation Agreement with
the applying HA (as required by the HA's Annual Contributions
Contract). An application seeking funding for this activity must first
establish a baseline by describing the current level of services (in
terms of the kinds of services provided, the number of officers and
equipment, and the actual percent of their time assigned to the
developments proposed for funding) and then demonstrate that the funded
activity will represent an increase over this baseline.
(ii) Communications and security equipment to improve the
collection, analysis, and use of information about drug-related or
violent criminal activities in a public housing community may be
eligible items if used exclusively in connection with the establishment
of a law enforcement substation on the funded premises or scattered
site developments of the applicant. Funds for activities under this
section may not be drawn until the

[[Page 49920]]

grantee has executed a contract for the additional law enforcement
services.
(3) Physical improvements to enhance security, as provided in 42
U.S.C. 11903(a)(3). For purposes of PHDEP, the following provisions in
paragraphs (a)(3)(i) through (a)(3)(iv) of this section apply:
(i) An activity that is funded under any other HUD program shall
not also be funded by this program.
(ii) Funding is not permitted for physical improvements that
involve the demolition of any units in a development.
(iii) Funding is not permitted for any physical improvements that
would result in the displacement of persons.
(iv) Funding is not permitted for the acquisition of real property.
(4) Employment of investigating individuals, as provided in 42
U.S.C. 11903(a)(4). For purposes of PHDEP, the following provisions in
paragraphs (a)(4)(i) and (a)(4)(ii) of this section apply:
(i) If one or more investigators are to be employed for a service
that is also provided by a local law enforcement agency, the applicant
must undertake and retain a cost analysis that demonstrates the
employment of investigators is more cost efficient than obtaining the
service from the local law enforcement agency.
(ii) The applicant, the investigator(s) and, only if the local law
enforcement agency is receiving any PHDEP funds from the applicant, the
local law enforcement agency, are required, before any investigators
are employed, to enter into and execute a written agreement that
describes the following:
(A) The nature of the activities to be performed by the
investigators, their scope of authority, and how they will coordinate
their activities with the local law enforcement agency;
(B) The types of activities that the investigators are expressly
prohibited from undertaking.
(5) Voluntary tenant patrols, as provided in 42 U.S.C. 11903(a)(5).
For purposes of PHDEP, the following provisions in paragraphs (a)(5)(i)
through (a)(5)(iv) of this section apply:
(i) The provision of training, communications equipment, and other
related equipment (including uniforms), for use by voluntary tenant
patrols acting in cooperation with officials of local law enforcement
agencies is permitted. Grantees are required to obtain liability
insurance to protect themselves and the members of the voluntary tenant
patrol against potential liability for the activities of the patrol.
The cost of this insurance will be considered an eligible program
expense.
(ii) The applicant, the members of the tenant patrol and, only if
the local law enforcement agency is receiving any PHDEP funds from the
applicant, the local law enforcement agency, are required, before
putting the tenant patrol into effect, to enter into and execute a
written agreement that describes the following:
(A) The nature of the activities to be performed by the tenant
patrol, the patrol's scope of authority, and how the patrol will
coordinate its activities with the local law enforcement agency;
(B) The types of activities that a tenant patrol is expressly
prohibited from undertaking, to include but not limited to, the
carrying or use of firearms or other weapons, nightsticks, clubs,
handcuffs, or mace in the course of their duties under this program;
(C) The type of initial tenant patrol training and continuing
training the members receive from the local law enforcement agency
(training by the local law enforcement agency is required before
putting the tenant patrol into effect).
(iii) Tenant patrol members must be advised that they may be
subject to individual or collective liability for any actions
undertaken outside the scope of their authority and that such acts are
not covered under a HA's or RMC's liability insurance.
(iv) Grant funds may not be used for any type of financial
compensation for voluntary tenant patrol participants. However, the use
of program funds for a grant coordinator for volunteer tenant foot
patrols is permitted.
(6) Drug prevention, intervention, and treatment programs, as
provided in 42 U.S.C. 11903(a)(6).
(7) Funding resident management corporations (RMCs), resident
councils (RCs), and resident organizations (ROs). For purposes of the
Public Housing Program, funding may be provided for PHAs that receive
grants to contract with RMCs and incorporated RCs and ROs to develop
security and drug abuse prevention programs involving site residents,
as provided in 42 U.S.C. 11903(a)(7).
(8) Youth sports. Sports programs and sports activities that serve
primarily youths from public or other federally assisted low-income
housing projects and are operated in conjunction with, or in
furtherance of, an organized program or plan designed to reduce or
eliminate drugs and drug-related problems in and around such projects,
as provided in 42 U.S.C. 11903(a)(8).
(9) Eliminating drug-related and violent crime in PHA-owned
housing, under the Public Housing Program, as provided in 42 U.S.C.
11903(b).
(b) Ineligible activities. For purposes of PHDEP, funding is not
permitted:
(1) For activities not included under paragraph (a) of this
section;
(2) For costs incurred before the effective date of the grant
agreement;
(3) For the costs related to screening or evicting residents for
drug-related crime. However, investigators funded under this program
may participate in judicial and administrative proceedings;
(4) For previously funded activities determined by HUD on a case-
by-case basis to be unworthy of continuation.
10. Section 761.20 is revised to read as follows:

Sec. 761.20 Selection requirements.

(a) PHDEP selection. Every PHA, RMC and consortium that meets the
requirements of Sec. 761.15 in a FFY will be selected for funding in
that FFY and, subject to meeting the performance requirements of
Sec. 761.23, for four additional FFYs.
(b) AHDEP selection. HUD will publish specific Notices of Funding
Availability (NOFAs) in the Federal Register to inform the public of
the availability of AHDEP grant amounts under this part 761. The NOFAs
will provide specific guidance with respect to the grant process,
including identifying the eligible applicants; deadlines for the
submission of grant applications; the limits (if any) on maximum grant
amounts; the information that must be submitted to permit HUD to score
each of the selection criteria; the maximum number of points to be
awarded for each selection criterion; the contents of the plan for
addressing drug-related and violent crime that must be included with
the application; the listing of any certifications and assurances that
must be submitted with the application; and the process for ranking and
selecting applicants. NOFAs will also include any additional
information, factors, and requirements that HUD has determined to be
necessary and appropriate to provide for the implementation and
administration of AHDEP under this part 761.
11. A new Sec. 761.21 is added to read as follows:

Sec. 761.21 Plan requirement.

(a) General requirement. To receive funding under this part, each
PHDEP qualified recipient or AHDEP applicant must submit to HUD, for
Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2000 and each following FFY, a plan for
addressing the problem of drug-related and violent crime in and around
the housing covered by the plan. If the plan covers more than one
development, it does not have to

[[Page 49921]]

address each development separately if the same activities will apply
to each development. The plan must address each development separately
only where program activities will differ from one development to
another. The plan must include a description of the planned activity or
activities, a description of the role of plan partners and their
contributions to carrying out the plan, a budget and timetable for
implementation of the activities, and the funding source for each
activity, identifying in particular all activities to be funded under
this part. In addition, the plan must set measurable performance goals
and interim milestones for the PHDEP-supported activities and describe
the system for monitoring and evaluating these activities. Measurable
goals must be established for each category of funded activities,
including drug prevention, drug intervention, drug treatment, tenant
patrols, and physical improvements. The plan under this section serves
as the application for PHDEP funding, and an otherwise qualified
recipient that does not submit a PHDEP plan as required will not be
funded. For AHDEP funding, NOFAs published in the Federal Register may
provide additional information on plan requirements for purposes of
this section. Plans must meet the requirements of this section before
grant funds are distributed. HUD will review the submitted plans for a
determination of whether they meet the requirements of this section.
(b) Additional requirements for consortia. In addition to meeting
the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, to receive funding
under this part, a consortium's plan must include a copy of the
consortium agreement between the PHAs which are participating in the
consortium, and a copy of the payment agreement between the consortium
and HUD.
12. A new Sec. 761.23 is added to read as follows:

Sec. 761.23 Grantee performance requirements.

(a) Basic grantee requirements. (1) Compliance with civil rights
requirements. Grantees must be in compliance with all fair housing and
civil rights laws, statutes, regulations, and executive orders as
enumerated in 24 CFR 5.105(a). Federally recognized Indian tribes must
comply with the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 and the Indian Civil
Rights Act.
(2) Adherence to the grant agreement. The grant agreement between
HUD and the grantee incorporates the grantee's application and plan for
the implementation of grant-funded activities.
(3) Compliance with ``baseline'' funding requirement. Grantees may
not use grant funds to reimburse law enforcement agencies for
``baseline'' community safety services. Grantees must adhere to
Sec. 761.17(a)(2)(i), reimbursement of local law enforcement agencies
for additional security and protective services. In addition, grantees
must provide to HUD a description of the baseline of services for the
unit of general local government in which the jurisdiction of the
agency is located.
(4) Partnerships. Grantees must provide HUD with evidence of
partnerships--in particular, firm commitments by organizations
providing funding, services, or other in-kind resources for PHDEP-
funded activities (e.g., memorandum of agreement, letter of firm
commitment). The partnership agreement must cover the applicable
funding period.
(5) MTCS reporting. Grantees must maintain a level of compliance
with MTCS reporting requirements that is satisfactory to HUD.
(b) Planning and reporting requirements. (1) Planning consistency.
PHDEP funded activities must be consistent with the most recent HUD-
approved PHA Plan or Indian Housing Plan, as appropriate. AHDEP funded
activities must be consistent with the most recent Consolidated Plan
under part 91 of this title for the community.
(2) Demonstration of coordination with other law enforcement
efforts. Each grantee must consult with local law enforcement
authorities and other local entities in the preparation of its plan for
addressing the problem of drug-related and violent crime under
Sec. 761.21 and must maintain documentation of such consultation.
Furthermore, a grantee must coordinate its grant-funded activities with
other anti-crime and anti-drug programs, such as Operation Safe Home,
Operation Weed and Seed, and the Safe Neighborhoods Action Program
operating in the community, if applicable and maintain documentation of
such coordination.
(3) Compliance with reporting requirements. Grantees must provide
periodic reports consistent with this part at such times and in such
form as is required by HUD.
(4) Reporting on drug-related and violent crime. Grantees must
report any change or lack of change in crime statistics--especially
drug-related crime and violent crime--or other relevant indicators
drawn from the applicant's or grantee's evaluation and monitoring plan,
IHP or PHA Plan. The grantee must also indicate, if applicable, how it
is adequately addressing any recommendations emanating from other anti-
crime and anti-drug programs, such as Operation Safe Home, Operation
Weed and Seed, and the Safe Neighborhoods Action Program, operating in
the community and is taking appropriate actions, in view of available
resources, such as post-enforcement measures, to take full advantage of
these programs.
(c) Funding and evaluation requirements. (1) Timely obligation and
expenditure of grant funds. The HA must obligate and expend funds in
compliance with all funding notifications, regulations, notices, and
grant agreements. In addition, the HA must obligate at least 50 percent
of funds under a particular grant within 12 months of the execution of
the grant agreement, and must expend at least 25 percent of funds under
a particular grant within 12 months of the execution of the grant
agreement.
(2) Operational monitoring and evaluation system. The grantee must
demonstrate that it has a fully operational system for monitoring and
evaluating its grant-funded activities. A monitoring and evaluation
system must collect quantitative evidence of the number of persons and
units served, including youth served as a separate category, types of
services provided, and the impact of such services on the persons
served. Also, the monitoring and evaluation system must collect
quantitative and qualitative evidence of the impact of grant-funded
activities on the public housing or other housing, the community and
the surrounding neighborhood.
(3) Reduction of violent crime and drug use. The grantee must
demonstrate that it has established, and is attaining, measurable goals
including the overall reduction of violent crime and drug use.
(d) Other requirements. HUD reserves the right to add additional
performance factors consistent with this rule and other related
statutes and regulations on a case-by-case basis.
(e) Sanctions. A grantee that fails to satisfy the performance
requirements of this section will be subject to the sanctions listed in
Sec. 761.30(f)(2).
13. In Sec. 761.40, paragraphs (f) and (g) are revised to read as
follows:

Sec. 761.40 Other Federal requirements.

* * * * *
(f) Intergovernmental Review. The requirements of Executive Order
12372 (3 CFR, 1982 Comp., p. 197) and the regulations issued under the
Order in part 52 of this title, to the extent provided by Federal
Register notice in

[[Page 49922]]

accordance with 24 CFR 52.3, apply to these programs.
(g) Environmental review. Certain eligible activities under this
part 761 are categorically excluded from review under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321) and are not subject
to review under related laws, in accordance with 24 CFR 50.19(b)(4),
(b)(12), or (b)(13). If the PHDEP plan proposes the use of grant funds
to assist any non-exempt activities, HUD will perform an environmental
review to the extent required by 24 CFR part 50, prior to grant award.
