Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the Second 
Quarter of Calendar Year 2003

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION: Public notice of the granting of regulatory waivers from April 
1, 2003, through June 30, 2003.

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

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 covers the quarterly period since the 
previous 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 
period beginning on April 1, 2003, and ending on June 30, 2003.

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 through TTY by calling the toll-free 
Federal Information Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339.
    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: Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act added a 
new section 7(q) to the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act 
(42 U.S.C. 3535(q)), which provides that:
    1. Any waiver of a regulation must be in writing and must specify 
the grounds for approving the waiver;
    2. Authority to approve a waiver of a regulation may be delegated 
by the Secretary only to an individual of Assistant Secretary or 
equivalent rank, and the person to whom authority to waive is delegated 
must also have authority to issue the particular regulation to be 
waived;
    3. Not less than quarterly, the Secretary must notify the public of 
all waivers of regulations that HUD has approved, by publishing a 
notice in the Federal Register. These notices (each covering the period 
since the most recent previous notification) shall:
    a. Identify the project, activity, or undertaking involved;
    b. Describe the nature of the provision waived, and the designation 
of the provision;
    c. Indicate the name and title of the person who granted the waiver 
request;
    d. Describe briefly the grounds for approval of the request; and
    e. State how additional information about a particular waiver-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 waivers of regulations granted by HUD 
from April 1, 2003, through June 30, 2003. 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 
regulatory section of title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 
that is 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 24 CFR 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, 2003, through September 
30, 2003.
    Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining 
to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this 
notice.

    Dated: October 30, 2003.
Alphonso Jackson,
Deputy Secretary.

Appendix-- Listing of Waivers of Regulatory Requirements Granted by 
Offices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development April 1, 
2003, Through June 30, 2003

    Note to Reader: More information about the granting of these 
waivers, including a copy of the waiver request and approval, may be 
obtained by contacting the person whose name is listed as the 
contact person directly after each set of waivers granted.

    The regulatory waivers granted appear in the following order:
    I. Regulatory waivers granted by the Office of Community Planning 
and Development.
    II. Regulatory waivers granted by the Office of Housing.
    III. Regulatory waivers granted by the Office of Public and Indian 
Housing.

I. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Community Planning and 
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] Regulation: 24 CFR 570.208(a)(3).
    Project/Activity: Ramsey County, MN, Community Development Block 
Grant (CDBG) Program.
    Waiver Request: A waiver to allow Ramsey County to provide CDBG 
funds to Beaver Creek Carriage Homes for the rehabilitation of the 
exterior of the buildings in the complex.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 570.208(a)(3) provides that eligible 
activities carried out for the purpose of providing or improving 
permanent residential structures will be considered to benefit low- and 
moderate-income households to the extent they are occupied by such 
households.
    Granted By: Nelson A. Bregon, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: June 26, 2003.
    Reasons Waived: Information provided by Ramsey County concludes 
that after conducting a survey of the residents in the complex, from 
the data collected, more than 51 percent of the units in these multiple 
residential buildings, that are not rental buildings, are occupied by 
low- and moderate-income households. Therefore, HUD allowed a waiver 
under the authority of 24 CFR 5.110 based on a determination of good 
cause to waive the requirement

[[Page 63915]]

at 24 CFR 570.208(a)(3) to allow the county to use CDBG funds for a 
loan to the Beaver Creek Carriage Homes Association for the 
rehabilitation of the exterior and common area of three non-rental 
residential buildings under common ownership and management, 62 percent 
of which are occupied by low- and moderate-income households. The funds 
for the low-interest loan will minimize the cost to the unit owners and 
the association to complete the major improvements necessary to 
maintain the safety, integrity, and habitability of these housing 
units.
    Contact: Nanci R. Doherty, Special Assistant to the Deputy 
Assistant Secretary, Community Planning and Development, Department of 
Housing and Urban Development 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 
20410-7000; telephone: 202-708-2565.

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 part 291, subpart F.
    Project/Activity: All Officer Next Door/Teacher Next Door (OND/TND) 
program participants who have been called to active duty status 
nationwide.
    Nature of Requirement: The Department of Housing and Urban 
Development is permitting a special accommodation relative to its OND/
TND program. The program provides police officers and teachers the 
opportunity to purchase HUD-owned homes at a significant discount. 
Among the conditions for participation, police officers and teachers 
must agree to occupy the property as their primary residence for a 
mandatory three-year period following the closing date of the sale. 
Under the terms of the OND/TND contract, participants who do not 
satisfy the residency requirement must refund a prorated portion of the 
discount to HUD. Those OND/TND borrowers who are called to active duty 
at posts outside the commuting area of their hometowns may be unable to 
satisfy the occupancy requirement. For these individuals, HUD will 
credit all time served on active duty against the three-year occupancy 
period. Any person in the ``military service'' as defined in the 
determined to be eligible for relief under the provisions of the 
``Sailors and Soldiers Civil Relief Act of 1940,'' may request the 
special accommodation.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: June 25, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The waiver provides authority to provide a credit of 
time for participants in the OND/TND Program, reducing the program 
occupancy requirement to the time served on active duty military 
service at a post outside the program participants' hometown commuting 
area. This waiver recognizes the importance of the service rendered by 
our military personnel as well as the impossibility of performance of 
the occupancy period when a military service member is ordered to a 
post away from home.
    Contact: Joseph McCloskey, Director, Office of Single Family Asset 
Management, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-8000; telephone: (202) 708-1672.
    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 200.54(a).
    Project/Activity: Sphinx at Murdeaux Villas, Dallas, TX; Project 
Number: 113-35188.
    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 proceeds for the 
subject property.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: April 17, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The regulation was 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 Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) 
mortgage-backed securities. Providing a waiver of 24 CFR 200.54(a) 
permitted the Fort Worth 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 20410-8000; telephone: (202) 708-1142.
    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 200.54(a).
    Project/Activity: Lancaster Apartments, Gary, IN; Project Number: 
073-35582.
    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 proceeds for the subject property.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: April 18, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The regulation was 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 Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) 
mortgage-backed securities. Providing a waiver of 24 CFR 200.54(a) 
permitted the Indianapolis 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.
    Contact: Michael McCullough, Director, Office of Multifamily 
Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-8000; telephone: (202) 708-1142.
    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 200.54(a).
    Project/Activity: Southside Villas, San Antonio, TX, Project 
Number: 115-35444.
    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 proceeds for the subject property.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: May 12, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The regulation was waived since the front money 
escrow is so large, the insured proceeds would not be disbursed for 
several months after initial endorsement, resulting in payment of 
extension fees to the investors who purchased GNMA mortgage-backed 
securities. Providing a waiver of 24 CFR 200.54(a) permitted the Fort 
Worth Multifamily Hub 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

    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 200.54(a).
    Project/Activity: 1135 Broadway Residences, Denver, CO, Project 
Number: 101-35562.
    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 proceeds for the subject property.

[[Page 63916]]

    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: June 16, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The regulation was waived since the front money 
escrow is so large, the insured proceeds would not be disbursed for 
several months after initial endorsement, resulting in payment of

    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 200.54(a).
    Project/Activity: Montclare Apartments, Phase II, Chicago, IL, 
Project Number: 071-35725.
    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 proceeds for the subject property.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-

    [sbull] Regulation: 24 CFR 234.1(a).
    Project/Activity: Airport Road Townhomes, Snohomish County, WA.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 203.43f of HUD's regulations sets 
forth the eligibility criteria for mortgages covering manufactured 
homes. Section 234 of HUD's regulations sets forth the eligibility 
requirements for insurance of individual units in a condominium 
project. Section 234.1(a) incorporates by reference various provisions 
of 24 CFR part 203 Subpart A, of the regulations concerning the 
eligibility requirements of mortgages covering one-to-four-family 
dwellings under Section 203 of the National Housing Act. Section 
234.1(a) also lists specific provisions that are not applicable to 
mortgages insured under Section 234. Section 203.43f, related to the 
insurance of mortgages on manufactured homes, is one of the exclusions 
listed under section 234.1(a).
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: May 2, 2003.
    Reason Waived: Among the primary reasons manufactured homes were 
initially excluded from eligibility for mortgage insurance as part of 
condominium projects were concerns about the durability of individual 
homes and the product's inconsistency with traditional configurations 
of the early condominium projects (typically garden or high-rise 
construction). The homes to be developed at Airport Road Townhomes have 
undergone extensive engineering analyses, first to comply with the 
Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards and then to 
obtain HUD approval of an Alternate Construction request, which was 
granted to the manufacturer on December 11, 2000. With the current 
state of the art and the extensive engineering review, concerns about 
the durability of this product is minimal.

Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-8000; telephone: (202) 708-2121.

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

    Nature of Requirement: Section 401.600 requires that projects be 
marked down to market rents within 12 months of their first expiration 
date after January 1, 1998. The intent of this provision is to ensure 
timely processing of requests for restructuring, and that the 
properties will not default on their FHA-insured mortgages during the 
restructuring process.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: April 16, 2003.

    Granted By: Paula Blunt, for Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: April 18, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The HA requested a waiver (extension of time) to 
submit its audited financial data. The Bernalillo County Housing 
Department is a component of Bernalillo County. The HA cannot submit 
its audited financial data until the County completes its audit. This 
issue has hindered the HA's ability to submit its audited report in a 
timely manner.

months after the PHA's fiscal year end, and audited financial 
statements will be required no later than nine months after the PHA's 
fiscal year end, in accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: June 9, 2003.
    Reason Waived: HA requested a waiver (extension of time) to file 
its Management data. HA received a Late Presumptive Failure (LPF) score 
of zero out of 30 points and Troubled Designation. The HA's request 
indicates that significant criminal activity on the premises caused on 
August 22, 2002, and November 26, 2002, created a distraction during 
the period the Management Operations Assessment Sub System (MASS) 
submission was due. HA also indicated that it changed its email 
addresses, but did not notify REAC of the change and did not receive 
late notices sent by REAC.

    Granted By: Paula Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: June 9, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The HA's appeal request was treated as a waiver 
(extension of time) to file its financial data. According to the HA's 
request, its external auditor was unable to complete the financial 
audit in a timely manner. The audited financial data was due September 
30, 2002, but submitted to REAC on November 13, 2002. A memorandum from 
the external auditor to REAC indicated that while the HA fully 
cooperated during the course of the audit, the auditor was at fault for 
the late filing.

    Granted By: Paula Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: June 5, 2003.
    Reason Waived: HA requested a waiver (extension of time) to submit 
its financial data. According to the HA's request, its external auditor 
was unable to complete the financial audit in a timely manner. The 
audited financial statements were due September 30, 2002, but were 
submitted to REAC on January 8, 2003. A memorandum from the external 
auditor to REAC indicates that while the HA fully cooperated during the 
course of the audit, the auditor was at fault for the late filing 
because of his busy schedule.

    Date Granted: June 23, 2003.
    Reason Waived: HA requested a waiver (extension of time) to submit 
its audited financial data. The request indicates that the HA procured 
an auditor for fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. In March 2003, the 
auditor withdrew from the audit engagement, citing a loss of staff. 
After additional efforts, the HA was able to engage an auditor who will 
conduct the financial audit for FY2002.

    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: April 30, 2003.
    Reason Waived: HA requested a waiver (extension of time) to submit 
its audited financial data. The waiver request indicates that the HA 
encountered a significant delay in engaging an independent audit firm 
to conduct its financial audit for the fiscal year ended September 30, 
2001. HA provided correspondence that indicated many external audit 
firms were unable to conduct the work due to workload considerations. 
The HA was eventually able to engage an auditor to conduct the audits 
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001.
