DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-4591-N-02]


Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the First 
Quarter of Calendar Year 2000

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION: Public Notice of the Granting of Regulatory Waivers from April 
1, 2000 through June 30, 2000.

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

SUMMARY: Section 106 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
Reform Act of 1989 (the ``HUD Reform Act''), requires HUD to publish 
quarterly Federal Register notices of all regulatory waivers that HUD 
has approved. Each notice must cover the quarterly period since the 
most recent Federal Register notice. The purpose of this notice is to 
comply with the requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act. This 
notice contains a list of regulatory waivers granted by HUD during the 
quarter beginning on April 1, 2000 and ending on June 30, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general information about this 
notice, contact Camille E. Acevedo, Associate General Counsel for 
Legislation and Regulations, Room 10282, Department of Housing and 
Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; 
telephone (202) 708-3055 (this is not a toll-free number). Hearing or 
speech-impaired persons may access this number via TTY by calling the 
toll-free Federal Information Relay Service at 1-800-877-8391.
    For information concerning a particular waiver action for which 
public notice is provided in this document, contact the person whose 
name and address follow the description of the waiver granted in the 
accompanying list of waiver-grant actions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of the Housing and Urban Development 
Reform Act of 1989 (the ``HUD Reform Act''), the Congress adopted, at 
HUD's request, legislation to limit and control the granting of 
regulatory waivers by HUD. Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act added a 
new section 7(q) to the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act 
(2 U.S.C. 3535(q)), which provides that:
    1. Any waiver of a regulation must be in writing and must specify 
the grounds for approving the waiver;
    2. Authority to approve a waiver of a regulation may be delegated 
by the Secretary only to an individual of Assistant Secretary rank or 
equivalent rank, and the person to whom authority to waive is delegated 
must also have authority to issue the particular regulation to be 
waived;
    3. Not less than quarterly, the Secretary must notify the public of 
all waivers of regulations that HUD has approved, by publishing a 
notice in the Federal Register. These notices (each covering the period 
since the most recent previous notification) shall:
    a. Identify the project, activity, or undertaking involved;
    b. Describe the nature of the provision waived, and the designation 
of the provision;
    c. Indicate the name and title of the person who granted the waiver 
request;
    d. Describe briefly the grounds for approval of the request;
    e. State how additional information about a particular waiver grant 
action may be obtained.
    Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act also contains requirements 
applicable to waivers of HUD handbook provisions that are not relevant 
to the purpose of this notice.
    Today's document follows publication of HUD's Statement of Policy 
on Waiver of Regulations and Directives issued by HUD on April 22, 1991 
(56 FR 16337). This notice covers HUD's waiver-grant activity from 
April 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000. Additionally, this notice contains 
five reports on regulatory waivers granted during 1999, which were 
inadvertently omitted in the 1999 reports. Two reports can be found in 
Section II of this notice with respect to waivers granted in connection 
with 24 CFR 50.17 and 1000.20(a). The third can be found in Section V 
with respect to a waiver granted in connection with 24 CFR 968.112, and 
the fourth and fifth also can be found in Section V with respect to a 
waiver granted in connection with 24 CFR 1000.156.
    For ease of reference, the waivers granted by HUD are listed by HUD 
program office (for example, the Office of Community Planning and 
Development, the Office of Housing, the Office of Public and Indian 
Housing, etc.). Within each program office grouping, the waivers are 
listed sequentially by the section of title 24 being waived. For 
example, a waiver-grant action involving the waiver of a provision in 
24 CFR part 58 would come before a waiver of a provision in 24 CFR part 
570.
    Where more than one regulatory provision is involved in the grant 
of a particular waiver request, the action is listed under the section 
number of the first regulatory requirement in title 24 that is being 
waived as part of the waiver-grant action. For example, a waiver of 
both Sec. 58.73 and Sec. 58.74 would appear sequentially in the listing 
under Sec. 58.73.
    Waiver-grant actions involving the same initial regulatory citation 
are in time sequence beginning with the earliest-dated waiver grant 
action.
    Should HUD receive additional reports of waiver actions taken 
during the period covered by this report before the next report is 
published, the next updated report will include these earlier actions, 
as well as those that occurred between July 1, 2000 through September 
30, 2000.
    Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining 
to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this 
notice.

    Dated: October 25, 2000.
Andrew Cuomo,
Secretary,

    For further information about the following waiver actions, 
please see the name of the contact person which immediately follows 
the description of the waiver granted.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 58.34(b) and 24 CFR 58.38.
    Project/Activity: Rehabilitation of housing owned by the Sac & 
Fox of Oklahoma Tribe and Housing Authority using Comprehensive 
Grant Program funding.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 58.34(b) requires, when a grant 
recipient makes a determination that an activity or project is 
exempt from environmental review requirements, such determination 
must be documented in writing. Section 58.38 requires a recipient to 
maintain a written record of the environmental review undertaken for 
each activity or project.
    Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.

[[Page 66139]]

    Date Granted: February 2, 2000.
    Reason Waived: The recipient failed to prepare a complete 
Environmental Review Record (ERR) as required under Sec. 58.38 prior 
to obligating Federal grant funds to the activity. HUD reviewed the 
activities and determined they met the requirements for a 
determination of categorical exclusion under Sec. 58.35(a)(3) and 
subsequent determination of exemption based on Sec. 58.34(a)(12). 
HUD further determined that no environmental degradation resulted 
from the regulatory noncompliance and that no mitigation activities 
would have been necessary. A complete ERR has been prepared by the 
recipient. Based on the above, HUD determined that a waiver of the 
regulatory requirements would maintain the integrity of HUD's 
environmental review process and was consistent with Executive Order 
12084 which encourages flexibility in the consideration of waiver 
requests from tribal governments.

Office of Native American Programs, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 1999 Broadway, Suite 3390, Box 90, Denver, CO 80202, 
telephone (303) 675-1600.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 58.40(f).
    Project/Activity: Rehabilitation of Cedarbrook multifamily 
housing. The City of Hanford, CA, requested a waiver of 24 CFR 
58.40(f).
    Nature of Requirement: In preparing an environmental assessment, 
the responsible entity must complete all environmental review 
requirements necessary for the project's compliance with applicable 
authorities cited in 24 CFR 58.5 and 58.6, which include Federal 
historic preservation regulations in 36 CFR part 800. Completion of 
an environmental assessment is required before the responsible 
entity may request a release of funds and the Department may release 
funds for a covered project.
    Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: June 14, 2000.
    Reason Waived: The community housing development organization 
(CHDO) finished its construction of the project before the 
responsible entity completed the historic preservation review that 
constitutes part of the environmental assessment. By so doing, the 
CHDO precluded subsequent full completion of the historic 
preservation review because, in the opinion of the State Historic 
Preservation Officer, any archeological resources were likely 
destroyed by the construction activities. However, evidence showed 
that there were no records of archeological resources on the site. 
The waiver was granted in order to provide funding to the completed 
project because this would produce results consistent with and 
further the purpose of the HOME Investment Partnership Act and would 
provide much needed housing to low and moderate income persons of 
the Hanford, California area.

and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street, SW., Room 7152, Washington, DC 20410, telephone 
(202) 708-2565.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 91.520(a).
    Project/Activity: The State of Montana requested a two-month 
extension for submitting its Consolidated Annual Performance and 
Evaluation Report (CAPER).
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 91.520 
requires grantees to submit a CAPER within 90 calendar days after 
the close of the jurisdiction's program year.
    Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: June 22, 2000.
    Reasons Waived: The State advised that key staff responsible for 
preparing the report are taking new positions and the new staff will 
need additional time to prepare the document to ensure a complete 
and accurate report.

and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street, SW., Room 7152, Washington, DC 20410, telephone 
(202) 708-2565.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 92.201(a)(2).
    Project/Activity: San Mateo County Consortium requested a waiver 
to permit the County to assist those low-income residents of Daly 
City whose homes have been condemned as the result of unsafe 
conditions caused by the erosion of the properties. There are 22 
properties involved.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 92.201(a)(2) 
requires participating jurisdiction may only invest its HOME funds 
in eligible projects within its boundaries or in joint projects 
within the boundaries of contiguous local jurisdictions which serve 
residents from both jurisdictions.
    Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: May 4, 2000.
    Reasons Waived: San Mateo County Consortium provided 
justifications for its request. Because of the high cost of homes 
within San Mateo County (median price is currently $405,000) it 
would be impossible for low income residents, many of whom are 
senior citizens, to find replacement housing in the County.

and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street, SW., Room 7152, Washington, DC 20410, telephone 
(202) 708-2565.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 570.207(b)(3).
    Project/Activity: The Village of Greenport, NY requested a 
waiver of the provision which prohibits the construction of new 
housing.
    Nature of Requirement: The CDBG regulations at 24 CFR 
570.207(b)(3) prohibits new housing construction activities, subject 
to the specific exceptions identified.
    Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: April 4, 2000.
    Reasons Waived: Increasing the level of homeownership is a goal 
of HUD and the Administration, and assisting low and moderate income 
persons is the primary objective of the CDBG program. Failure to 
grant a waiver of this requirement would adversely affect the 
purposes of the Act.

and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street, SW., Room 7152, Washington, DC 20410, telephone 
(202) 708-2565.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 576.21(b)(2).
    Project/Activity: The State of New York requested a waiver of 
the thirty percent spending limitation on essential services.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 576.21(b)(2) 
imposes the statutory requirement that no more than thirty percent 
of the Emergency Shelter Grant funds be expended for essential 
services. This regulatory section also notes that the statute (42 
U.S.C. 11374) also permits waiver of this requirement if the grantee 
demonstrates that other eligible activities are already being 
carried out in the locality with other resources.
    Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: April 7, 2000.
    Reasons Waived: The State documented that there were other 
resources for eligible activities and this waiver would allow 
flexibility to shelter systems. The waiver allowed the State to use 
up to 60 percent of its Fiscal Year 2000 ESG funds for essential 
services.

and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451

     Regulation: 24 CFR 576.21(b)(2).
    Project/Activity: Morris County, NJ requested a waiver of the 
thirty percent spending limitation on essential services.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 576.21(b)(2) 
imposes the statutory requirement that no more than thirty percent 
of the Emergency Shelter Grant funds be expended for essential 
services. This regulatory section also notes that the statute (42 
U.S.C. 11374) also permits waiver of this requirement if the grantee 
demonstrates that other eligible activities are already being 
carried out in the locality with other resources.
    Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: June 1, 2000.
    Reasons Waived: Morris County documented that there were other 
resources for eligible activities and this waiver would allow 
flexibility to shelter systems. The waiver allowed the County to use 
up to 40 percent of its Fiscal Year 2000 ESG funds for essential 
services.

    Reasons Waived: The City provided sufficient justification that 
the City budgeted $399 million in non-ESG funding for private and 
public shelter operations and an additional $13 million for shelter 
construction and renovation. The waiver allowed the City to use up 
to 81 percent of its Fiscal Year 1999 ESG funds for essential 
services.

resources for eligible activities and this waiver would allow 
flexibility. The waiver allowed the City to use up to 60 percent of 
its Fiscal Year 2000 ESG funds for essential services.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 574.310(d).
    Project/Activity: The City of Denver, Colorado requested a 
waiver of the resident rent payment standard in the HOPWA regulation 
in order to establish a limit on the amount of assistance provided 
to the beneficiary.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 574.310(d) 
establishes the rent payment standards for the HOPWA program as 
rent, including utilities which is the higher of 30 percent of the 
family's monthly adjusted income, 10 percent of the family's monthly 
gross income, or if the family is receiving payments for welfare 
assistance from a public agency, the portion of the payment that is 
designated.
    Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: May 24, 2000.
    Reasons Waived: The City provided documented information to 
support its need for establishing the limited short-term shallow 
rent program. The waiver is limited to the City's Fiscal Year's 1999 
and 2000 formula grants and any formula grants issued for Fiscal 
Year 2001 and Fiscal Year 2002.

and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street, SW, Room 7152, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 
708-2565.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 574.540.
    Project/Activity: The City of Seattle, Washington requested 
authorization to make use of a limited amount of HOPWA formula funds 
for a period of time that will exceed the three year use period 
established by the HOPWA regulations.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 574.540 
requires that HOPWA funds be expended in a three year period. HUD 
may deobligate any amount of grant funds that have not been expended 
within a three-year period from the date of the signing of the grant 
agreement.
    Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: June 9, 2000.
    Reasons Waived: This waiver of the time limits will assist the 
City in helping to qualify persons living with HIV/AIDS and their 
families for assistance in housing developments projects that use 
the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) in financing. HUD found 
that there is good cause for this waiver since this will secure 
housing for individuals and families with HIV/AIDS. The amount of 
funds under this waiver are limited to a portion of the City's 
annual Fiscal Year allocation, so that no more than twenty percent, 
up to a maximum of $250,000 in any one fiscal year allocation, is 
committed to a tax credit project for up to a fifteen year period, 
measured from the date of the grant agreement for that allocation.

II. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Community Planning and 
Development and the Office of Public and Indian Housing

    For further information about the following waiver actions, 
please see the name of the contact person which immediately follows 
the description of the waiver granted.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 50.17 and 1000.20(a).
    Project/Activity: The Lower Elwha Tribe and its Housing 
Authority, Port Angeles, WA, received a Traditional Indian Housing 
Development grant to construct 5 low rent homes.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at Sec. 50.17 requires 
an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact or 
an environmental impact statement be completed before the applicable 
decision points for projects not exempt or categorically excluded 
from environmental review requirements. HUD's regulation at 
Sec. 1000.20(a) requires an environmental review be completed for 
any Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act 
project not excluded from review before a recipient may acquire, 
rehabilitate, convert, lease, repair or construct property, or 
commit HUD or local funds.
    Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development, and Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: May 11, 1999.
    Reason Waived: The Lower Elwha Tribe made several errors during 
the environmental review and clearance process required by 24 CFR 
part 58 that resulted in the Housing Authority obligating and 
expending grant funds for the project before HUD's approval of the 
Request for Release of Funds and Certification, form HUD 7015.15. 
HUD made a determination based upon these actions to conduct an 
environmental review according to 24 CFR part 50. A HUD 
environmental review at this point would be after the Annual 
Contributions Contract for this project. Therefore, a waiver is 
necessary to allow HUD to conduct the review and resolve the issue. 
HUD also determined that no environmental degradation resulted from 
the regulatory noncompliance and that no mitigation activities would 
be necessary since no environmental damage or potential problems 
were identified. Considering the above, HUD determined that a waiver 
of the regulatory requirements would maintain the integrity of HUD's 
environmental review process and was consistent with Executive Order 
12084 that encourages flexibility in the

consideration of waiver requests from tribal governments.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 50.17 and 24 1000.20(a).
    Project/Activity: The Lummi Tribe, Bellingham, WA, received a 
Traditional Indian Housing Development grant to construct 5 Mutual 
Help homeownership units.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at Sec. 50.17 requires 
an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact or 
an environmental impact statement be completed before the applicable 
decision points for projects not exempt or categorically excluded 
from environmental review requirements. HUD's regulation at

any Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act 
project not excluded from review before a recipient may acquire,

    Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development, and Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: September 15, 1999 by Mr. Cooper and July 30, 1999 
by Mr. Lucas.
    Reason Waived: The Lummi Tribe made several errors during the 
environmental review process required by 24 CFR part 58 that 
resulted in funds being obligated for the project before HUD's 
approval of the Request for Release of Funds and Certification, form 
HUD 7015.15. HUD made a determination based upon these actions to

telephone (303) 675-1600.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 50.17 and 24 CFR 1000.20(a).
    Project/Activity: Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, Sequim, WA, 
received grant funds for the acquisition of 23.5 acres at two sites 
for the development of low-income housing and a community water and 
sewer system.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at Sec. 50.17 requires 
an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact or 
an environmental impact statement be completed before the applicable 
decision points for projects which are not exempt or categorically 
excluded from environmental review requirements. HUD's regulation at 
Sec. 1000.20(a) requires an environmental review be completed for 
any Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act 
project not excluded from review before a recipient may acquire, 
rehabilitate, convert, lease, repair or construct property, or 
commit HUD or local funds.
    Granted By: Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning Development for Sec. 50.17, and Harold Lucas, Assistant 
Secretary for Public and Indian Housing for Sec. 1000.20(a).
    Date Granted: April 25, 2000 by Mr. Cooper and May 5, 2000 by 
Mr. Lucas.
    Reason Waived: The Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe made several errors 
during the environmental review process required by 24 CFR part 58 
that resulted in funds being obligated for the project before HUD's 
approval of the Request for Release of Funds and Certification, form 
HUD 7015.15. HUD made a determination based upon these actions to 
conduct an environmental review according to 24 CFR part 50. A HUD 
environmental review at this point would be after the grant 
agreement. Therefore, a waiver is necessary to allow HUD to conduct 
the review and resolve the issue. HUD also determined that no 
environmental degradation resulted from the regulatory noncompliance 
and that no mitigation activities would be necessary since no 
environmental damage or potential problems were identified. Tribal 
staff has participated in two HUD sponsored environmental training 
sessions to obtain additional background information and expertise 
in the environmental review and clearance requirements. Considering 
the above, HUD determined that a waiver of the regulatory 
requirements would maintain the integrity of HUD's environmental 
review process and was consistent with Executive Order 12084 that 
encourages flexibility in the consideration of waiver requests from 
tribal governments.

III. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Housing

    For further information about the following waiver actions, 
please see the name of the contact person which immediately follows 
the description of the waiver granted.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 202.3(c)(2)(iii).
    Project/Activity: Credit Watch/Termination Threshold.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 
202.3(c)(2)(iii) provides that the Secretary may notify a mortgagee 
that it is on credit watch status if the mortgagee had a rate of 
defaults and claims on insured mortgages originated in an area which 
exceeded 150 percent, but not 200 percent, of the normal rate.
    Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: June 12, 2000.
    Reason Waived: Waiving the regulation permits HUD/FHA to 
initially focus on those lenders originating the worst performing 
loans. The waiver will adjust the Credit Watch threshold from being 
between 150% and 200.9% of the HUD field office default and claim 
rate to being between 200% and 300.9% of that rate. This waiver is 
limited to Credit Watch reviews conducted in the second quarter of 
calendar year 2000.
    Contact: Joy L. Hadley, Director, Quality Assurance Division, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, 
SW., Room B133-P3214, Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 
708-2830.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 203.49(c).
    Project/Activity: Waiver of the requirements of 24 CFR 203.49(c) 
to extend the initial adjustment dates for adjustable rate mortgage 
(ARM) loans beyond the 12 to 18 month window currently provided for 
in the regulation.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 203.49(c) 
provides that lenders may extend the initial interest rate 
adjustment dates on ARM loans thus rendering the loans eligible for 
placement in Ginnie Mae pools. Ineligibility of the loans for 
delivery to Ginnie Mae would result in financial hardship to the 
mortgagee and will not have an adverse impact on any mortgagors.
    Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: May 19, 2000.
    Reason Waived: Mortgagee, Corinthian Mortgage Corporation of 
Mission, Kansas, requested extensions of the initial change date for 
two ARM loans beyond the 12-18 month window period as required by 24 
CFR 203.49(c). Approving the waiver enabled the lender to securitize 
the loans and rendered no harm to the borrowers or the Department.

Program Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 
451 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone: (202) 
708-2700.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 206.19(d)(2) and 24 CFR 206.47(B).
    Project/Activity: Waiver of the requirements of 24 CFR 
206.19(d)(2) and 24 CFR 206.47(b) pertaining to the Home Equity 
Conversion (HECM) Program.
    Nature of Requirement: The current HECM regulations limit the 
repairs completed after closing to 15% of the maximum claim amount. 
In addition, the escrow account must equal 150% of the required 
repairs. The regulations located at 24 CFR 206.19(d)(2) and 24 CFR 
206.47(b) need to be waived in order to allow a borrower to avoid 
foreclosure by using the HECM loan program.
    Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: June 29, 2000.

[[Page 66142]]

    Reason Waived: Waiving the regulations cited above will provide 
assistance to the homeowner who is experiencing financial hardship. 
Without the waivers, the borrower is faced with the foreclosure of 
her current mortgage. This is not in keeping with the policy 
objectives of FHA which include assisting persons in maintaining 
homeownership.

Program Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 
451 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone: (202) 
708-2700.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 234.3 and 234.26(f)(1) where it is 
cited as a limitation.
    Project/Activity: Assisi, San Francisco Apartments, and La 
Providencia condominium projects in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
    Nature of Requirement: FHA insurance may not be placed on 
individual units in a condominium project converted from rental 
housing unless; (1) conversion occurred more than one year prior to 
application for insurance, (2) the mortgagor was a tenant at the 
time of conversion, (3) the conversion was sponsored by a bona fide 
tenants organization, or (4) certain events relating to application 
occurred before April 10, 1984. HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 234.3 
defines conversion to mean the date on which all documents necessary 
to create a condominium under State law (and under local law, where 
applicable) have been recorded.
    Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: May 16, 2000.
    Reason Waived: Under the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico's 
inscription law the recordation process begins with presentment of 
the legal documents to create a condominium but due to backlogs may 
take several years to complete. The waiver acknowledged that 
essentially the condominium regime and all attending 
responsibilities were created at presentment. Granting the waiver 
permitted FHA mortgage insurance to be placed on units in the three 
projects one year from date of presentment. It also permitted those 
parties who qualified as tenants under 24 234.26(f)(1) to 
immediately obtain FHA mortgage insurance.

Program Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development,

     Regulation: 24 CFR 234.26(e)(3).
    Project/Activity: Nantucket at Reston, Reston, VA.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 234.26(e)(3) 
requires, in order for a condominium project to be acceptable to the 
Secretary, at least 51 percent of all family units (including units 
not covered by FHA-insured mortgages) must be occupied by the owners 
as a principal residence or a secondary residence (as the terms are 
defined in 24 CFR 203.18), or must have been sold to owners who 
intend to meet this occupancy requirement.
    Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: June 23, 2000.
    Reason Waived: Waiver was granted to allow FHA-mortgage 
insurance on a unit in a 56 unit development, bringing the owner-
occupancy rate to 48.21 percent. The unit constituted affordable 
housing and will assist in augmenting housing available to 
households of low and moderate income.

time of conversion, (3) the conversion was sponsored by a bona fide 
tenants organization, or (4) certain events relating to application 
occurred before April 10, 1984. HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 234.3

to create a condominium under State law (and under local law, where 
applicable) have been recorded.
    Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-

    Reason Waived: Under the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico's 
inscription law the recordation process begins with presentment of 
the legal documents to create a condominium but due to backlogs may 
take several years to complete. The waiver acknowledged that 
essentially the condominium regime and all attending 
responsibilities were created at presentment. Granting the waiver 
permitted FHA mortgage insurance to be placed on individual units in 
the two projects one year from date of presentment.

additional time to submit the draft closing documents and secondary 
financing documents outlining the terms and conditions. Connections 
Community Support Program--Delays were due to flaws in the 
architectural plans for rehabilitating the property which resulted 
in the hiring of a new architect. Freedom House--Delays were due to 
the Sponsor seeking outside funding sources to help cover project 
shortfalls as a result of an increase in the Davis Bacon wage rates. 
Rudolph Mercy Douglas--Delays were due to the Sponsor's inexperience 
in meeting development standards and time frames for this type of 
project.

    Project/Activity: Orchard Knob Apartments, Chattanooga, 
Tennessee, Project Number: 087-EE015.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD regulations in 24 CFR 891.205 and 
891.410(c) limit occupancy to very low-income (VLI) elderly persons 
(i.e., households composed of one or more persons at least one of 
whom is 62 years of age at time of initial occupancy).
    Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: May 31, 2000.
    Reason Waived: The Atlanta Multifamily Hub has requested waiver 
of the Section 202/PRAC occupancy requirements for this project 
which would allow seven ineligible households/tenants under the age 
of 62 to remain at the project. The management agent used 
requirements of the Section 202/8 program, assuming the Section 202/
PRAC program requirements were the same. These families must be 
relocated at project expense within one year of granting this 
waiver.

    Project/Activity: Arc HUD V, Newark, Delaware, Project Number: 
032-HD023/DE26-Q991-002
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 891.310(b)(1) 
provides that all entrances, common areas, units to be occupied by 
resident staff, and amenities must be readily accessible to and 
usable by persons with disabilities.
    Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: April 17, 2000.
    Reason Waived: This project consists of two group homes, housing 
four residents. The Sponsor indicated that 10 percent of one 
property and 40 percent of the units for this property would be made 
fully handicapped accessible. However, the Sponsor never had more 
than a few physically disabled residents and far below 40 percent of 
the intended occupants of this project have mobility impairments. To 
retrofit this property would not be financially feasible and the 
resident disruption would be prohibitive.

    Date Granted: April 17, 2000.
    Reason Waived: The Milwaukee Multifamily Program Center has 
requested an age waiver for the subject project which is located in 
a high crime/drug area and experiencing vacancy problems. Potential 
tenants are choosing projects located in safer areas creating 
vacancy problems at Santa Cruz Apartments. This waiver will allow 
management additional flexibility in attempting to rent up these 
vacant units. Admission will be open to persons between the ages of 
55 and 62 but continuing to give preference to those 62 and over.

    Granted by: William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: April 17, 2000.
    Reason Waived: The Denver Multifamily Hub requested an age 
waiver for the subject project to allow project management

or without disabilities, allowing management to rent up the 
remaining units. This waiver is in effect for one year from the date 
of approval.

    For further information about the following waiver actions, 
please see the name of the contact person which immediately follows

    Project/Activity: Public Housing Drug Elimination Program 
(PHDEP) Grant PA26DEP030197. Lancaster City Housing Authority, 
Lancaster, PA.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 761.30(b) establishes the terms 
of the grant agreement and the procedures for extending the grant 
term. A waiver of 24 CFR 761.30(b) to extend a 1997 PHDEP Grant was 
requested by the Lancaster City Housing Authority (LCHA).
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: January 20, 2000.
    Reason Waived: LCHA's prevention program was delayed while they 
searched for and hired a new PHDEP contractor and staff for the 
program. The waiver is for six months from the date the grant 
agreement (HUD-1044) is modified and signed by both parties.

    Project/Activity: Public Housing Drug Elimination (PHDEP) Fiscal 
Year 1997. City of Key West housing Authority, Key West, Florida.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 761.30(b) establishes the terms 
of the grant agreement and the procedures for extending the grant 
term. A waiver of 24 CFR 761.30(b) to extend the PHDEP 1997 grant 
was requested by the Housing Authority of the City of Key West 
(KWHA).
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.

operating funds. KWHA plans to utilize the remaining grant funds for 
the provision of drug prevention activities targeting the youth 
population.

Michigan.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 761.30(b) establishes the terms 
of the grant agreement and the procedures for extending the grant

grant was requested by the Flint Housing Commission (FHC).
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: February 3, 2000.
    Reason Waived: FHC experienced problems in obtaining proposals 
for installation security cameras and security doors. It was 
necessary to tender a new request for proposals for additional 
proposals. FHC expended time to resolve issues before awarding a 
contract. By the time all this was completed the grant reached 
termination.

Delaware State Housing Authority, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: February 28, 2000.
    Reason Waived: The Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) seeks 
this waiver so that contractors can expend all appropriated PHDEP 
funds. Since program costs were not as high as anticipated under Law 
Enforcement they have $6,225 remaining and under Drug Prevention 
$17,035.99 for an overall total of $23,260.99.

    Nature of Requirement: Section 761.30(b) establishes the terms 
of the grant agreement and the procedures for extending the grant 
term. A waiver of 24 CFR 761.30(b) to extend a PHDEP 1997 grant was 
requested by the Providence Housing Authority (PHA), Providence, RI.
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: March 30, 2000.
    Reason Waived: The PHA has achieved substantial cost savings in 
its Fiscal Year 1997 PHDEP Program. The unanticipated savings 
resulted in the PHA making adjustments to its grant activities and 
delivery of programs. Adding to this is the fact that the PHA's 
fiscal year date is in conflict with the HUD's grant execution date. 
The grant execution date was in December and the PHA's fiscal date 
had already started six months prior. This extension will allow the 
closure of this grant and coincide with the PHA's fiscal year.

requested by Cambridge Housing Authority (CHA), Cambridge, MA.
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: April 3, 2000.
    Reason Waived: The CHA has experienced a time lag with respect 
to the billing of services from the Cambridge Police Department for 
patrols. The patrol services under this contract are scheduled to be 
completed by June 30, 2000. In addition, the CHA experienced delays 
in obligating Fiscal Year 1997 PHDEP funds because of an overlay in 
previous years' PHDEP activities and its coordinator was on extended 
leave because of injury.

requested by the Woburn Housing Authority.
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and

    Date Granted: April 5, 2000.
    Reason Waived: The WHA requested the extension of the 1997 grant 
to use PHDEP funds for physical improvements, equipment, and youth 
career development. The WHA also requested to reprogram funds from 
Budget Line Item (BLI)9110 into BLI9150 (Physical Improvement). This 
is needed so that the WHA can increase security measures in the 
Spring Court Extension Housing Development and provide additional 
services to increase employment and track high risk youths.

term. A waiver of 24 CFR 761.30(b) to extend a PHDEP 1997 grant was 
requested by the Edinburg Housing Authority (EHA), Edinburg, TX.
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: April 10, 2000.
    Reason Waived: The EHA requested a twelve (12) month amendment 
to the grant term in order to expend the remaining PHDEP funds 
(approximately $145,774.05). The EHA cites the abrupt departure of 
its drug grant coordinator, as well as missing PHDEP grant files as 
its reasons for an extension request. The EHA has assigned a staff 
member to temporarily ``monitor'' the grant programs until they can 
fill the position within the next few months.

    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and

    Date Granted: April 10, 2000.
    Reason Waived: The EHA requested a twelve (12) month amendment

the Fiscal Year 1997 Notice of Funding Availability for the Public 
and Indian Housing Drug Elimination Program.
    Project/Activity: A request was made by the White Mountain 
Apache Housing Authority (WMAHA), White River, AZ, to waive the term 
of the grant agreement beyond 24-months for the Public and Indian 
Housing Drug Elimination Program (PIHDEP). The regulations state 
that any funds not expended at the end of the grant term shall be 
remitted to HUD. The regulations also state that the maximum 
extension allowable for any program is six months. The tribe 
requested an extension because they needed additional time to 
continue their efforts to have a positive impact on the communities 
which they serve.
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: April 17, 2000.
    Reason Waived: Based on the narrative justification that was 
submitted to the Department on behalf of the WMAHA and their timely 
submission of required documents, the Department believed that there 
was good cause to waive the extension/grant term requirements of 24 
CFR 761.30 (b)(1) and Section I(f)(6) of the Fiscal Year 1997 Notice 
of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Public and Indian Housing 
Drug Elimination Program.

    Project/Activity: A request was made by the All Mission Indian 
Housing Authority (AMIHA), Escondido, CA, to waive the term of the 
grant agreement beyond 24-months for the Public and Indian Housing 
Drug Elimination Program (PIHDEP). The regulations state that any 
funds not expended at the end of the grant term shall be remitted to 
HUD. The regulations also state that the maximum extension allowable 
for any program is six months. The tribe requested an extension 
because they needed an additional nine months to complete approved 
activities and formally close-out their grant.
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and

    Reason Waived: Based on the narrative justification that was

    Nature of Requirement: Waiver of 24 CFR 968.112 was requested by 
the New Orleans Housing Authority to exceed the Total Development 
Cost limits by $2,877,548.
    Granted By: Deborah Vincent, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: June 2, 1999.
    Reason Waived: The Housing Authority stated that extenuating 
circumstances such as extensive termite damage, elimination of 
exterior walkways which compromised resident security, and lead-
based paint and asbestos abatement justified the increased cost.

based assistance to a relative of the landlord.
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistance Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: January 27, 2000.
    Reason Waived: Approval of the waiver prevented a hard-to-
housing family that had completed the transitional housing program 
from becoming homeless by allowing the family to lease a unit from a 
relative. There were no other units available in the PHA's 
jurisdiction large enough to accommodate the family.

program.
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: April 12, 2000.
    Reason Waived: Approval of the waiver preserved 66 units of 
affordable housing for low-income frail elderly families residing in 
the Franklin Apartments in Anoka, Minnesota. The City of Anoka has a 
tight rental market and an extremely low vacancy rate.

The Housing authority requested permission to benefit from energy 
performance contracting for developments which have tenant-paid 
utilities. The HA estimates that it could increase savings 
substantially if it were able to undertake energy performance 
contracting for both PHA-paid and tenant-paid utilities.
    Nature of Requirement: Under 24 CFR 990, Performance Funding 
System (PFS) energy conservation incentive that relates to energy 
performance contracting currently applies to only PHA-paid 
utilities. The Housing Authority of the County of Kern has both PHA-
paid and tenant-paid utilities.
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: February 2, 2000.

[[Page 66159]]

    Reason Waived: In September 1996, the Oakland Housing Authority 
was granted a waiver to permit the Authority to benefit from energy 
performance contracting for developments with tenant-paid utilities. 
The waiver was granted on the basis that the Authority presented a 
sound and reasonable methodology for doing so. The Housing Authority 
of the County of Kern requested a waiver based on the same approved 
methodology. The waiver permits the HA to exclude from its PFS 
calculation of rental income, increased rental income due to the 
difference between updated baseline utility (before implementation 
of the energy conservation measures) and revised allowances(after 
implementation of the measures) for the project(s) involved for the 
duration of the contract period, which cannot exceed 12 years.

    Nature of Requirement: Under 24 CFR 990, Performance Funding

    Project/Activity: Cost limits on Indian Housing Block Grant 
development activities, Student Living and Learning Center, Cook

    Nature of Requirement: Section 1000.156 establishes limits on 
the amount of IHBG funds that may be spent on dwelling construction 
and equipment (DC&E) for affordable housing for housing developed or 
acquired.
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: September 15, 1999.
    Reason Waived: The Cook Inlet Housing Authority provided to HUD 
cost estimates supporting their estimates of the amount required to 
construct the housing project. These estimates contained costs not 
included in HUD published DC&E cost limits. The waiver of 
Sec. 1000.156 provides for a departure from the definition of DC&E 
contained in the regulation and establishes a maximum amount of IHBG 
funds that may be expended by CIHA for eligible IHBG activities.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 1005.107(b)(2).
    Project/Activity: A request was made by the Intergovernmental 
Relations Committee of the Navajo Nation Council for HUD to waive a 
Section 184 Loan Guarantees for Indian Housing regulatory 
requirement placed upon the Navajo Nation by the Federal government.
    Nature of Requirement: If a leasehold interest in trust or 
restricted land is used as collateral or security in the Section 184 
program, the land lease must be on a form approved by the 
Department. The Section 184 regulation at 24 CFR 1005.107(b)(2) 
provides in relevant part:

    ``The lease form must contain a provision requiring tribal 
consent before any assumption of an existing lease, except where 
title to the leasehold interest is obtained by the Department 
through foreclosure of the guaranteed mortgage or a deed in lieu of 
foreclosure. A mortgagee other than the Department must obtain 
tribal consent before obtaining title through a foreclosure sale. 
Tribal consent must be obtained on any subsequent transfer from the 
purchaser, including the Department, at foreclosure sale.''
    Granted By: Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: June 30, 2000.
    Reason Waived: The Department's regulation was created to 
provide tribal governments control over the assignment of home site 
leases but the Navajo Nation has chosen to address this matter in a 
different manner. The consent by the Navajo Nation is not required 
before an assumption of an existing lease or a foreclosure sale; 
adequate protection is provided to the Navajo Nation in the Navajo 
mortgage and lease forms and system of government. The favorable 
disposition of the waiver request does not adversely affect the 
interests of the Department and is consistent with EO 13084 which 
encourages flexibility in the consideration of waiver requests from 
tribal governments.
