DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-4767-N-02]


Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the Second 
Quarter of Calendar Year 2002

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION: Public notice of the granting of regulatory waivers from April 
1, 2002, through June 30, 2002.

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

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, 2002, and ending on June 30, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general information about this 
notice, contact Aaron Santa Anna, Assistant General Counsel for 
Regulations, Room 10276, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 
451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-0500; 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 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 or 
equivalent rank, and the person to whom authority to waive is delegated 
must also have authority to issue the particular regulation to be 
waived;
    3. Not less than quarterly, the Secretary must notify the public of 
all waivers of regulations that HUD has approved, by publishing a 
notice in the Federal Register. These notices (each covering the period 
since the most recent previous notification) shall:
    a. Identify the project, activity, or undertaking involved;
    b. Describe the nature of the provision waived, and the designation 
of the provision;
    c. Indicate the name and title of the person who granted the waiver 
request;
    d. Describe briefly the grounds for approval of the request; and
    e. State how additional information about a particular waiver-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.
    This notice follows procedures provided in HUD's Statement of 
Policy on Waiver of Regulations and Directives issued on April 22, 1991 
(56 FR 16337). This notice covers HUD's waiver-grant activity from 
April 1, 2002, through June 30, 2002. 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 that appears in title 24 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations and 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 during July 1, 2002, through September 
30, 2002.
    Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining 
to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this 
notice.

    Dated: September 27, 2002.
Alphonso Jackson,
Deputy Secretary.

Development

    For further information about the following waiver actions, 
please see the name of the contact person who immediately follows 
the description of the waiver granted.
    [sbull] Regulations: 24 CFR 91.520(a).
    Project/Activity: The State of Wisconsin requested a waiver of 
the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) 
Deadline.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 91.520(a) requires each grantee 
to submit a performance report to HUD within 90 days after the close 
of the grantee's program year. The State of Wisconsin's program year 
ended on March 31, 2002; thus, its CAPER was due on June 30, 2002. 
The state requested an extension of its submission deadline until 
September 30, 2002.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: June 6, 2002.
    Reasons Waived: While HUD desires timely reports, it is also 
interested in ensuring that the performance reports prepared by 
grantees are complete and accurate. Therefore, under the authority 
of 24 CFR 91.600, the requirements of 24 CFR 91.520(a) were waived 
and the State of Wisconsin was given an extension to September 30, 
2002, to submit its 2001 CAPER to HUD.
    Contact: Cornelia Robertson-Terry, Office of Community Planning 
and Development, Room 7152, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; 
telephone: (202) 708-2565, extension 4556.

    [sbull] Regulations: 24 CFR 92.212(b).
    Project/Activity: Washington County Consortium in Texas 
requested a waiver of the pre-award costs requirements set forth at 
24 CFR 92.212(b) of the HOME regulations.

[[Page 63203]]

    Nature of Requirements: Section 92.212(b) provides that 
administrative and planning costs may be incurred at the beginning 
of the participating jurisdiction's consolidated program year, or 
the date the Consolidated Plan is received by HUD, whichever is 
later. Such costs may be charged to the HOME allocation after its 
award, provided the costs meet the statutory and regulatory 
requirements of the HOME program.
    Granted by: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: April 29, 2002.
    Reasons Waived: The Department found that the need of the 
Washington County Consortium to develop and execute various 
documents to complete the process of becoming a participating 
jurisdiction constitutes good cause for a waiver to permit the 
county to incur pre-award costs for eligible HOME planning and 
administrative activities. The waiver granted covers those costs 
incurred in forming the consortium and developing the Consolidated 
Plan that are incurred after the date the consortium notifies HUD of 
its intention to participate in the HOME program. The waiver is 
consistent with the provisions of 24 CFR 570.200(h)(1)(i) of the 
Community Development Block Grant regulations which authorize new 
grantees to incur pre-award costs for the development of the first 
Consolidated Plan.
    Contact: Cornelia Robertson-Terry, Office of Community Planning 
and Development, Room 7152, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; 
telephone: (202) 708-2565, extension 4556.

    [sbull] Regulations: 24 CFR 92.252(a).
    Project Activity: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on behalf 
of Boston Aging Concerns Young and Old United, Inc. (BAC-YOU) and 
its ``GrandFamilies House'' in Dorchester, Massachusetts, requested 
a waiver of the HOME rent requirements.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 92.252(a) provides for the use of 
Section 8 fair market rents in HOME units if the units are occupied 
by a head-of-household caring for grandchildren if three conditions 
are met. First, a qualified family receiving Section 8 tenant-based 
rental assistance must occupy the unit. Second, the rent for the 
unit must not exceed the fair market rent for comparable units in 
the area. Third, additional revenue from the higher rent must be 
expended for improved affordable housing for the grandfamilies.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: May 22, 2002.
    Reasons Waived: The Department determined that 18 high HOME rent 
units in the BAC-YOU- GrandFamilies House satisfy the three 
conditions required by Section 215 of National Affordable Housing 
Act. Good cause for waiver exists because the revenue generated by 
the waiver enables BAC-YOU- to enhance the services provided by the 
GrandFamilies House to its residents. The waiver was granted to 
permit BAC-YOU- to charge the Section 8 rent in the 18 high HOME 
rent units in the GrandFamilies House. The Commonwealth of 
Massachusetts requested that the waiver be granted retroactively to 
the date of the statutory amendment. The Department does not grant 
retroactive waivers. The waiver was granted prospectively only.
    Contact: Cornelia Robertson-Terry, Office of Community Planning 
and Development, Room 7152, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; 
telephone: (202) 708-2565, extension 4556.

    [sbull] Regulations: 24 CFR 92.254(a)(2)(iii).
    Project/Activity: DeKalb County, Georgia, requested a waiver for 
the City of Decatur of the HOME regulation requiring participating 
jurisdictions to use the Single Family Mortgage Limits.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 92.254(a)(2)(iii) of the HOME 
regulation requires participating jurisdictions to use the Single 
Family Mortgage Limits established under Section 203(b) of the 
National Housing Act to determine maximum after rehabilitation value 
of the single family homeownership units assisted with HOME funds. 
As an alternative to the Section 203(b) limits, HOME regulations at 
24 CFR 92.254 (a)(2)(iii) allow participating jurisdictions to 
perform a local market survey to determine 95 percent of the median 
area purchase price for single-family housing; this figure then 
serves as the maximum value limit for single family homeownership 
units.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: May 10, 2002.
    Reasons Waived: Dekalb County requested a waiver to permit it to 
use the survey data of the City of Decatur to establish 95 percent 
of median area purchase price for the single-family housing located 
in the city instead of using county-wide survey data. The remainder 
of the county will continue to use the Section 203(b) Single Family 
Mortgage Limit. There is good cause to grant the waiver because 
DeKalb County has documented a significant disparity in the value of 
housing between the City of Decatur and the rest of the county. The 
waiver applies to the City of Decatur's owner occupied 
rehabilitation program. The county must resubmit a survey of sales 
prices within the city to HUD annually.
    Contact: Cornelia Robertson-Terry, Office of Community Planning 
and Development, Room 7152, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; 
telephone: (202) 708-2565, extension 4556.

    [sbull] Regulations: 24 CFR 92.258(a) and 92.258(d)(1).
    Project Activity: The State of Kansas requested a waiver to 
allow two HOME-assisted Elder Cottage Housing Opportunity (ECHO) 
units to be relocated to the site of a multifamily housing project 
for the developmentally disabled.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 92.258(a) states that ECHO units 
are to be designed to be installed adjacent to existing single-
family dwellings. The regulations at 24 CFR 92.258(d)(1) also state 
that, ``only one ECHO unit may be provided per host property.''
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Dated Granted: May 10, 2002.
    Reasons Waived: The Department found that there was good cause 
to grant this waiver because doing so will preserve the availability 
of affordable housing in Kansas. The Department considers this 
arrangement between the Northeast Kansas Community Action Program 
and Achievement Services to be acceptable given that eligible 
persons will occupy the units and the units will maintain their 
affordability.
    Contact: Cornelia Robertson-Terry, Office of Community Planning 
and Development, Room 7152, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; 
telephone: (202) 708-2565, extension 4556.

    [sbull] Regulations: 24 CFR 92.503(b).
    Project/Activity: The State of Iowa requested waiver of the 
repayment requirement of the HOME Investment Partnerships Program 
final rule.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 92.503(b) requires that a 
participating jurisdiction must repay HOME funds invested in housing 
that does not meet the affordability requirements for the period 
specified. While the period of affordability for the original house 
will not be met, the participating jurisdiction is proposing to 
substitute a larger unit that better suits the needs of the 
occupants and that satisfies all HOME requirements for the remaining 
period of affordability.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: April 9, 2002.
    Reasons Waived: The Department determined that there was good 
cause for the waiver because the interest of the low-income 
residents will be protected and the objective of the HOME program 
will continue to be met.
    Contact: Cornelia Robertson-Terry, Office of Community Planning 
and Development, Room 7152, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; 
telephone: (202) 708-2565, extension 4556.

    [sbull] Regulations: 24CFR 570.206(g).
    Project/Activity: The City of Moorhead, Minnesota, requested a 
waiver so that the city could pay eligible administrative costs to 
facilitate the development of 34 units of affordable rental housing.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 570.206(g) provides that 
assistance under this part of the regulation is limited to units 
that are identified in the grantee's HUD approved housing assistance 
plan (HAP). In as much as the Consolidated Plan includes non-housing 
activities and is not exclusively limited to low- and moderate-
income persons, the Department determined that 24 CFR 570.206(g) 
cannot be read as only allowing a substitution costs related to the 
Consolidated Plan for costs formerly eligible in connection with the 
HAP. However, if a specific activity is construed to include a HAP-
type of implementing activity for costs statutorily permitted, the 
Department is willing to consider a waiver of 24 CFR 570.206(g) to 
permit the expenditure of Community

[[Page 63204]]

Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for administrative expenses 
designed to facilitate the development of housing.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: April 12, 2002.
    Reasons Waived: The use of CDBG funds in this instance, to pay 
for pre-development costs related to the development of 34 units of 
affordable rental housing, is a HAP type of implementing activity 
for costs statutorily permitted. If a waiver is not approved and the 
city is unable to raise the funds to provide the required local 
funding for this project, these affordable rental housing units 
would be lost. This would create an undue hardship and adversely 
affect the purposes of the program because there is a need for these 
housing units for low-and-moderate income households, therefore a 
waiver was granted.
    Contact: Cornelia Robertson-Terry, Office of Community Planning 
and Development, Room 7152, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; 
telephone: (202) 708-2565, extension 4556.

    [sbull] Regulations: 24 CFR 882.408(b).
    Project/Activity: Miami Dade Housing Agency (MDHA) and Carrfour 
Corporation of Miami, Florida, requested a waiver of the current 
Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Fair Market Rent 
(FMR) for the Little Haiti Gateway SRO project.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 882.408(b) provides that, with 
Field Office approval, a public housing agency (PHA) may approve 
initial gross rents which exceed the applicable FMR by up to 10 
percent for all units of a given size in specified areas.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: April 18, 2002.
    Reasons Waived: The provision of 24 CFR 882.408(b) which allows 
pre-agreement exception rents to be approved only on an area-wide 
basis has been waived. The reasons are: MDHA has been working since 
1993, when the project was conditionally approved, to bring this 
project to completion. The ACC was effective on June 1, l995. During 
the last six years there have been many obstacles that have caused 
project delays. The delays included change in owner, change in 
sites, obtaining financial resources, and change in developer. When 
the original owner was unable to develop the project, MDHA initiated 
a request for proposals process for a new owner and Carrfour was 
selected in March 1997, to develop the Little Haiti project. 
Carrfour identified a site but the site fell through since the owner 
of the property, which was occupied, failed to obtain consent of the 
beneficiaries within the prescribed time frame. Therefore, another 
site had to be located and this took approximately six months. The 
change in sites affected the use of acquisition funds allocated by 
the State for the project. The funds originally set aside for the 
other proposed site had to be reprogrammed for the new site, which 
took over two years.

II. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Housing

    For further information about the following waiver actions, 
please see the name of the contact person who immediately follows 
the description of the waiver granted.

    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 200.54(a).
    Project/Activity: W.H. Block Building, Indianapolis, IN; Project 
Number: 073-35552.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 200.54(a) establishes the 
procedures for a pro-rata disbursement of the mortgagor's front 
money escrow funds and Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured 
mortgage proceeds for the subject property.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: April 9, 2002.
    Reason Waived: Since the front money escrow is so large, the 
insured proceeds would not be disbursed for 6 to 8 months after 
initial endorsement, resulting in payment of extension fees to the 
investors who purchased the Government National Mortgage Association 
(GNMA) mortgage-backed securities. Providing a waiver of 24 CFR 
200.54(a) will permit the Indianapolis Multifamily Hub to approve a 
pro-rata disbursement of front money and mortgage proceeds, thereby 
allowing the mortgagee not to pay GNMA extension fees.
    Contact: Michael McCullough, Director, Office of Multifamily 
Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000; telephone: (202) 708-

    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 200.54(a).
    Project/Activity: Clyburn Apartments, Denver, CO; Project 
Number: 101-35555.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 200.54(a) establishes the 
procedures for a pro-rata disbursement of the mortgagor's front 
money escrow funds and FHA insured mortgage proceeds for the subject 
project.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: May 20, 2002.
    Reason Waived: Since the front money escrow is so large, the 
insured proceeds would not be disbursed for several months, 
resulting in the payment of extension fees to the investors who 
purchased the GNMA mortgage-backed securities. Providing a waiver of 
24 CFR 200.54(a) will permit the Denver Hub to approve a pro-rata 
disbursement of front money and mortgage proceeds, thereby allowing 
the mortgagee not to pay GNMA extension fees.
    Contact: Michael McCullough, Director, Office of Multifamily 
Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000; telephone: (202) 708-
1142.

    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 200.54(a).
    Project/Activity: The Villas at Metro Center Apartments, 
Nashville, TN; Project Number: 086-35273.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 200.54(a) establishes the 
procedures for a Pro-rata Disbursement of the Mortgagor's Front 
Money Escrow Funds and FHA insured mortgage proceeds for the subject 
property.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: June 21, 2002.
    Reason Waived: Since the front money escrow is so large, the 
insured proceeds would not be disbursed for several months, 
resulting in payment of extension fees to the investors who 
purchased the GNMA mortgage-backed securities. Providing a waiver of 
24 CFR 200.54(a) will permit the Nashville Multifamily Program 
Center to approve a pro-rata disbursement of front money and 
mortgage proceeds, thereby allowing the mortgagee not to pay GNMA 
extension fees.

Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000; telephone: (202) 708-
1142.
    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 203.42(a).
    Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the City of Spokane 
(SHA), Spokane, WA.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 203.42(a) prohibits the placing 
of FHA mortgage insurance on any rental property if the property is 
part of a project, subdivision, or group of rental properties in 
which the mortgagor has a financial interest in eight or more 
dwelling units.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: May 20, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The waiver allowed the Housing Authority of the 
City of Spokane, Washington, to acquire and sell, using FHA mortgage 
insurance, sixty newly constructed homes to low- and moderate-income 
homebuyers under a lease purchase option program called ``The 
Welcome Home Program.''
    Contact: Vance T. Morris, Director, Office of Single Family 
Program Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development,

708-2121.

    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 203.49(c).
    Project/Activity: Mortgagee, First Mortgage Corporation of 
Diamond Bar, California.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 203.49(c) provides that lenders 
may extend the initial interest rate adjustment dates on ARM loans 
to any time within a 12 to 18 month window thus rendering the loans 
eligible for placement in GNMA pools. Ineligibility of the loans for 
delivery to GNMA would result in financial hardship to the mortgagee 
and will not have an adverse impact on any mortgagors.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: May 29, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The Corporation requested extensions of the 
initial change date for four ARM loans beyond the 12-18 month window 
period as required by 24 CFR 203.49(c).

[[Page 63205]]

Approving the waiver enabled the lender to scrutinize the loans and 
rendered them no harm to the borrowers or the Department.

Program Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 
451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000; telephone (202) 
708-2121.
    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 203.674(b)(1), 24 CFR 203.675, 24 CFR 
203.676, 24 CFR 203.677, 24 CFR 203.678.
    Project/Activity: Predatory Lending Assistance/St. Ambrose 
Housing Aid, Baltimore, MD.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 203.674(b) (1) specifies that 
occupants must make timely request for occupied conveyance. Section 
203.675 sets out the requirements for adequate notice to occupants 
of pending acquisition. Section 203.676 identifies the required time 
frames for occupants to request occupied conveyance. Section 203.677 
pertains to time frames for HUD's written decision to allow occupied 
conveyance. Section 203.678 references time frames for borrowers to 
request occupied conveyance.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: April 16, 2002.
    Reason Waived: These regulations were waived in order to allow 
the Department to accept occupied conveyance of up to 20 properties 
in Baltimore that were determined to be impacted by predatory 
lending schemes. Occupied conveyance will facilitate and expedite a 
direct sale of the properties to St. Ambrose Housing Aid Center 
which will supervise rehabilitation and resell or lease the 
properties back to borrowers who were victims of predatory lending.

Management, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000; telephone: (202) 708-1672.

    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b).
    Project/Activity: Church Manor, Smithfield, VA; Project Number: 
051-35012.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 219.220(b) governs the repayment 
of assistance provided under the Flexible Subsidy Program for 
Troubled Projects prior to May 1, 1996, requiring that assistance 
paid to project owners must be repaid at the earlier of the 
expiration of the term of the mortgage, termination of mortgage 
insurance, prepayment of the mortgage or at sale of the project.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: June 10, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The Richmond Multifamily Program Center requested 
waiver of this regulation in order to subordinate the Flexible 
Subsidy financing following the refinancing/rehabilitation of the 
subject property through Low Income Housing Tax Credits and non-FHA 
insured loans. The owner requested permission to make a payment 
toward the Flexible Subsidy loan and the subordinate the remainder 
following the refinancing/rehabilitation of the property. If the 
waiver was not granted, the owner would not have funds to repay the 
Flexible Subsidy loan and would not be able to close on the new 
financing package, thereby losing the opportunity to improve this 
much needed affordable rural housing for the low-income citizens of 
Smithfield.

    Date Granted: June 26, 2002.

additional funding sources from the California State Department of 
Housing and Community Development.

    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-

    Reason Waived: An alternate site had to be obtained, the size of

    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-

    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-

    Nature of Requirement: Single-Purpose Corporation. Section 
891.205 requires that Section 202 project owners be single-purpose 
corporations.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.

    Date Granted: April 8, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The project will be built adjacent to the 
sponsor's existing Section 202 project and one owner-entity would 
promote greater service provision as well as coordinated 
administrative maintenance.

    Project/Activity: TWB Residential Opportunities II, Port 
Jefferson Station, NY; Project Number: 012-HD093/NY36-Q991-004.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 891.310(b)(1) 
and (b)(2) requires 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: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.

    Date Granted: April 30, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The project consists of four group homes for the 
independent living of the chronically mentally ill, each serving 
three residents. The sites will be designed to allow one bedroom and 
all common spaces in one home to be fully accessible. To make all 12 
units fully accessible for persons with mobility impairments would 
make the project financially infeasible. The sponsor has indicated 
that less than 5 percent of the individuals that are served under 
their programs require accessible housing. Therefore, accessibility 
of the one site is more than adequate for potential residents.

    Project/Activity: Hampton Woods Retirement and Hampton Woods II, 
Jackson, NC; Project Numbers: 053-EH469 and 053-EE009.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410(c) limits occupancy to 
very low income elderly persons, i.e., households of one or more 
persons at least one of whom is 62 years of age at the time of 
initial occupancy. Section 5.110 relates to admission of families to 
projects for elderly or handicapped families that received 
reservations under Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 and 
housing assistance under Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
    Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: April 8, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The Greensboro Multifamily Hub requested an age 
waiver for the subject project because the current occupancy level 
of eligible persons and families does not support successful 
operation of the projects. This waiver would allow the project 
owner/management agent to rent units to persons between the ages of 
55 and 62 years of age with or without disabilities, thus, allowing 
the owner flexibility in renting up these vacant units. This waiver 
is in effect for one year from date of approval.

persons at least one of whom is 62 years of age at the time of 
initial occupancy. Section 5.110 relates to admission of families to 
projects for elderly or handicapped families that received

housing assistance under Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
    Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: May 14, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The Little Rock Multifamily Program Center 
requested waiver of the income requirements for the subject property 
because the property has only maintained an 88 percent occupancy 
rate since receiving permission to occupy in December 2000. The 
project has no waiting list and only 16 of the 18 units are 
occupied. Granting this waiver would allow flexibility to market to 
low-income families and enable property management to lease the 
vacant units and start a waiting list. This waiver is effective for 
one year from date of approval.

initial occupancy. Section 5.110 relates to admission of families to 
projects for elderly or handicapped families that received

    Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: May 22, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The Manchester Multifamily Program Center 
requested waiver of the age and income requirements for the subject 
property. The owner/management agent of the subject project has 
requested permission to waive the elderly and low-income 
requirements to alleviate the current occupancy and financial 
problems the property is experiencing. The property will be allowed 
to rent to the non-elderly, disabled, and handicapped between the 
ages of 55 and 62 years and allow the applicants to meet the low-
income eligibility requirements. This waiver will attempt to rent up 
vacant units and allow the property to operate successfully. This 
waiver is effective for one year from date of approval.

persons at least one of whom is 62 years of age at the time of 
initial occupancy. Section 5.110 relates to admission of families to 
projects for elderly or handicapped families that received 
reservations under Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 and 
housing assistance under Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
    Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: May 23, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The Fort Worth Multifamily Hub requested an age 
waiver for the subject project because the current occupancy level 
will not support the project. Vacant units will be marketed to 
people between the ages of 55 and 62 with or without disabilities. 
Providing for a waiver of the elderly and handicapped requirements 
will allow the owner additional flexibility to rent up units. This 
waiver is in effect for one year from the date of approval.

    Nature of Requirement: Request for waiver of 24 CFR 761.30(b) to 
allow an extension of time to implement the subject grant 
activities.

[[Page 63217]]

    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: May 13, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The Houma Housing Authority (HHA) was designated 
a troubled performer on December 21, 2001. HHA was transferred to 
the jurisdiction of the Memphis Troubled Agency Recovery Center 
(TARC) effective January 25, 2002. Upon being transferred, it was 
noted that the 1999 Public Housing Drug Elimination Program (PHDEP) 
Grant funds had not been obligated due to the ongoing investigation 
by the Local District Attorney and HUD's investigation by the Office 
of Inspector General hindered the draw down of funds. Medical 
absences of an Executive Director delayed implementation of selected 
PHDEP projects. The Executive Director was eventually terminated by 
the Board of Directors on November 18, 2001.

    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary, Office of Public 
and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: May 1, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The waiver was granted to allow the housing 
authority to use the balance of the grant for reimbursement for 
services rendered and to cover grant related administrative 
expenses. There was a misunderstanding of the grant expenditure 
deadline and requests for draw down of funds from the Line of Credit 
Control System (LOCCS) were put on HUD Field Office review.

of the family.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.

would be an undue hardship for the program participant to seek a 
unit to lease within the established payment standard amount and 
relocate.

    Date Granted: June 20, 2002.
    Reason Waived: Approval of the waiver was granted to allow the

guidance to permit the AMHA to attach PBA to 97 units in Callis 
Tower, a 277-unit elderly building in a 551-unit Section 236 
project, Channelwood. The project is located in a census tract with 
a poverty rate of 32 percent.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 983.7(c)(4) prohibits the use of 
PBA in a Section 236 project. Section II subpart E of the initial 
guidance requires that in order to meet the Department's goal of 
deconcentration and expanding housing and economic opportunities, 
projects must be in census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 
percent.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: April 26, 2002.
    Reason Waived: Approval of the waiver was granted to ensure that 
the affected elderly families would not be rent burdened. Approval 
of the exception was granted because the project was in the HUD-
designated City of Akron's Enterprise

    Project/Activity: New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority 
(NHHFA), Bedford, New Hampshire; Project-based Assistance Program. 
The NHHFA requested a waiver of the aforementioned program 
regulation to allow for the selection of units for project-based 
assistance that were competitively selected for tax credits and 
units selected under the NHHFA's Multifamily Housing Production 
Initiative Program without requiring HUD review and approval of a 
written selection policy and without advertising for a competitive 
selection of units under the project-based program.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 983.51(a) and (b) require HUD 
review and approval of a written selection policy and advertisement 
for the competitive selection of units to receive project-based 
assistance.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: April 1, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The waiver was granted based on the urgent need 
for affordable rental housing in New Hampshire and the NHHFA's 
desire to use project-based assistance for high-ranking proposals 
under its Multifamily Housing Initiative Program and for projects 
that were competitively selected for low-income housing tax credits.

CMHA requested an exception to the initial guidance to attach PBA to 
a greater number of family units than the 25 percent limit to which 
project-based assistance can be attached to any one building.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart F of the initial 
guidance requires that unless waived, no more than 25 percent of the 
dwelling units in any building may be assisted under a housing 
assistance payments (HAP) contract for PBA except for dwelling units 
that are specifically made available for elderly families, disabled 
families and families receiving supportive services.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: April 19, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The exception was approved to allow for the 
attachment of project-based assistance to 100 percent of the units. 
The exception was approved based on the self-sufficiency nature of 
the services to be provided at the project. Specifically, the

employment, financial responsibility (building income and savings), 
and encouraging neighborhood and community involvement.

Section II subpart F of the initial guidance for one project to 
attach project-based assistance to a greater number of family units 
than the 25 percent limit to which project-based assistance can be 
attached to any one building.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart E requires that all 
new project-based assistance agreements or HAP contracts be for 
units in census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 percent. 
Section II subpart F of the initial guidance requires that unless 
waived, no more than 25 percent of the dwelling units in any 
building may be assisted under a housing assistance payments (HAP) 
contract for PBA except for dwelling units that are specifically 
made available for elderly families, disabled families and families 
receiving supportive services.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: April 19, 2002.
    Reason Waived: Approval of the requests for an exception to 
subpart E include the planned neighborhood revitalization, creation 
of mixed-income housing and job opportunities, and the significant 
State investment in each area. The approval of the exception to 
subpart F was based on the self-sufficiency nature of the services 
to be offered to families residing at the development. The services 
include child care; parenting education, job re-entry guidance, 
support and adult basic education instruction.

projects must be in census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 
percent.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: April 26, 2002.
    Reason Waived: Approval of the exception was granted since the 
project was in the HUD-designated St. Paul Enterprise Community 
whose goals of creating jobs, housing, and new educational and 
healthcare opportunities are consistent with the goal of 
deconcentration and expanding housing and economic opportunities.

percent.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: May 28, 2002.
    Reason Waived: Approval of the exception was granted since the 
project was in four specific neighborhoods, MacFarland, Wright-
Dunbar, Paul Laurence Dunbar and Wolf Creek that make up part of a 
development plan known as Dayton's Inner Ring Strategy. This 
strategy is a comprehensive economic, housing development and 
infrastructure improvement initiative directly impacting 14 center 
city neighborhoods that form a ring around the downtown area. The 
goals of Dayton's Inner Ring Strategy and the revitalization 
activities within the neighborhoods in which Ecumenical Homes will 
be located are consistent with the goal of deconcentration and 
expanding housing and economic opportunities.

significant public investment, mixed-income nature of the area in 
which the project is located, and the expansion of housing and 
economic opportunities, are consistent with the goal of the 
deconcentration requirement under the project-based voucher program.

    [sbull] Regulation: Section II subpart E and subpart F of the 
January 16, 2001, Federal Register Notice, Revisions to PHA Project-
based Assistance Program; Initial Guidance.
    Project/Activity: Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA), 
Minneapolis, Minnesota; Project-based Assistance (PBA) Program. The 
MPHA requested an exception to the initial guidance to permit the 
MPHA to attach PBA to Armadillo Flats, Franklin Portland Gateway, 
Park Plaza, Collaborative and Families Moving Forward that are in 
census tracts with poverty rates that exceed 20 percent. The MPHA 
also requested an exception to waive the requirement that no more 
than 25 percent of the dwelling units in any building may be 
assisted under a housing assistance payments (HAP) contract for PBA 
except for dwelling units that are specifically made available for 
elderly families, disabled families and families receiving 
supportive services for Collaborative Village and Families Moving 
Forward.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart E of the initial 
guidance requires that in order to meet the Department's goal of 
deconcentration and expanding housing and economic opportunities, 
the projects must be in census tracts with poverty rates of less 
than 20 percent. Section II subpart F requires that no more than 25 
percent of the dwelling units in any building may be assisted under 
a housing assistance payments (HAP) contract for PBA except for 
dwelling units that are specifically made available for elderly 
families, disabled families and families receiving supportive 
services.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: June 7, 2002.
    Reason Waived: Approval of the exception for deconcentration was 
granted since four of the projects are in the Minneapolis 
Empowerment Zone and one was within blocks of it. The goals of 
establishing empowerment zones (to open new businesses, create jobs, 
housing, and new educational and healthcare opportunities) are 
consistent with the goal of deconcentration and expanding housing 
and economic opportunities. Approval of the exception for the number 
of units in a building that may be project-based was granted because 
the families living in Collaborative Village will receive supportive 
services for chemical dependence support, job training, and 
educational counseling. Families living in Families Moving Forward 
will receive supportive services for child advocacy and care, a 
father's program, parenting support, and an aftercare program, all 
of which will focus on self-sufficiency. These supportive services 
are consistent with the statute.

    Project/Activity: Burlington Housing Authority (BHA), 
Burlington, Vermont; Project-based Assistance (PBA) Program. The BHA 
requested an exception to the aforementioned requirement to permit 
attachment of project-based assistance to units in a census tract 
with a poverty rate of greater than 20 percent.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart E requires that all 
new PBA agreements or housing assistance payments contracts be for 
units in census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 percent.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: June 12, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The poverty rate in the census tract at issue is 
22 percent. The development is located in the same census tract as 
the University of Vermont. College students have an over-riding 
impact on the income characteristics of the census tract. If the 
college age individuals are excluded from the calculation, the 
census tract poverty rate drops to approximately 8 percent. In light 
of the unusual skew in the poverty rate data as a result of the 
University population living in the census tract, the commitment of 
public funds, the expansion of housing opportunities, and the 
education opportunities, the request for an exception was granted.

families and families receiving supportive services.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: June 20, 2002.
    Reason Waived: Approval of the exception was granted because the 
families living in Brandes Place will participate in the Metro HRA's 
Family Self-Sufficiency program and there will be a close 
collaboration between the developer and Catholic Charities who will 
provide a network to the local work force. These supportive services 
are consistent with the statute.

permit the WSHA to attach PBA to 88 units in Kimberly Park Terrace 
that exceeds the 25 percent cap on the number of units in a building 
to which PBA can be attached for families receiving supportive 
services.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart F of the initial

dwelling units in any building may be assisted under a housing 
assistance payments contract for PBA except for dwelling units that 
are specifically made available for elderly families, disabled 
families, and families receiving supportive services.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: June 20, 2002.
    Reason Waived: Approval of the exception was granted because the 
families living in Kimberly Park Terrace, a HOPE VI project, will 
receive supportive services provided by the Community Affordable 
Housing Equity Corporation that will include an adult scholarship 
program, a community grants program to fund such items as furniture 
for community space and books for the on-site library, a first-time

    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 990.107(f) and 990.109.
     Project/Activity: Augusta, GA, Housing Authority. A request was 
made to permit the authority to benefit from energy performance 
contracting for developments that have resident-paid utilities. The 
housing authority estimates that it could increase energy savings 
substantially if it were able to undertake energy performance 
contracting for both its PHA-paid and resident-paid utilities.
    Nature of Requirement: Under 24 CFR Part 990, Operating Fund 
Formula energy conservation incentive that relates to energy 
performance contracting currently applies to only PHA-paid 
utilities. The Augusta Housing Authority has both PHA-paid and 
resident-paid utilities.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: May 3, 2002.
    Reason Waived: In September 1996, the Oakland Housing Authority 
was granted a waiver to permit the housing authority to benefit from 
energy performance contracting for developments with resident-paid 
utilities. The waiver was granted on the basis that the Authority 
presented a sound and reasonable methodology for doing so. The 
Augusta Housing Authority requested a waiver based on the same 
approved methodology. The waiver permits the housing authority to 
exclude from its Performance Funding System calculation of rental 
income the increased rental income due to the difference between 
updated baseline utility allowances (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.

    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 990.107(f) and 990.109.
    Project/Activity: Opelika, AL, Housing Authority. A request was 
made to permit the authority to benefit from energy performance 
contracting for developments that have resident-paid utilities. The 
housing authority estimates that it could increase energy savings 
substantially if it were able to undertake energy performance 
contracting for resident-paid utilities.
    Nature of Requirement: Under 24 CFR Part 990, Operating Fund 
Formula energy conservation incentive that relates to energy 
performance contracting currently applies to only PHA-paid 
utilities. The Opelika Housing Authority has resident-paid 
utilities.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: May 3, 2002.
    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 resident-paid 
utilities. The waiver was granted on the basis that the authority 
presented a sound and reasonable methodology for doing so. The 
Opelika Housing Authority requested a waiver based on the same 
approved methodology. The waiver permits the HA to exclude from its 
PFS calculation of rental income the increased rental income due to 
the difference between updated baseline utility allowances (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.

    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 1000.327(b).
    Project/Activity: Nondalton Tribal Council's submission of an 
Indian Housing Plan (IHP) for FY 2002 funding made available under 
the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 
1996.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation notifies Indian tribes not 
located on a reservation, including each Alaska Native village, 
regional Indian tribe, regional corporation, or its tribally 
designated housing entity (TDHE) that they must notify HUD in 
writing by September 15 each year whether it or its TDHE intends to 
submit an IHP. If an Alaska Native village notifies HUD that it does 
not intend either to submit an IHP or to designate a TDHE to do so, 
or if HUD receives no response from the Alaska Native village or its 
TDHE, the formula data which would have been credited to the Alaska 
Native village will be credited to the regional Indian tribe, or if 
there is no regional Indian tribe, to the regional corporation.
    Granted By: Mr. Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary, Office of 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: June 7, 2002.
    Reason Waived: The Alaska Office of Native American Programs may 
not have received the Tribe's notification of intent to submit an 
IHP by the deadline due to the state of affairs surrounding 
September 11, 2001, and the Tribal Administrator's medical 
condition.
