DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-4854-N-04]


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

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION: Notice.

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

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 October 1, 2003, and ending on December 31, 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). Persons with hearing or 
speech impairments may access this number through TTY by calling the 
toll-free Federal Information Relay Service at 800-877-8339.
    For information concerning a particular waiver that was granted and 
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 waivers that have been granted in 
the fourth quarter of calendar year 2003.

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 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 October 1, 2003, through December 31, 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). 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 of a provision in 24 CFR 
part 58 would be listed 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. For example, a waiver of both Sec.  58.73 and 
Sec.  58.74 would appear sequentially in the listing under Sec.  58.73.
    Waivers of regulations that involve the same initial regulatory 
citation are in time sequence beginning with the earliest-dated 
regulatory waiver.
    Should HUD receive additional information about waivers granted 
during the period covered by this report before the next report is 
published, the next updated report will include these earlier waivers 
that were granted, as well as those that occurred during January 1, 
2004, through March 31, 2004.
    Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining 
to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this 
notice.

    Dated: July 27, 2004.
Alphonso Jackson,
Secretary.

Appendix--Listing of Waivers of Regulatory Requirements Granted by 
Offices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, October 1, 
2003, through December 31, 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 regulatory waiver 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 regulatory waivers, 
please see the name of the contact person that immediately follows the 
description of the waiver granted.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 91.520.
    Project/Activity: Request for extension of the submission deadline 
for the 2002 program year for the Consolidated Annual Performance and 
Evaluation Report (CAPER) of Cook County, Illinois.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 91.520 requires 
each grantee to submit a performance report to HUD within 90 days after 
the close of the grantee's program year.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: November 18, 2003.
    Reason Waived: Cook County's program year ended on September 30, 
2003, and therefore its CAPER was due December 29, 2003. The county 
experienced a hardship beyond its control. A fire occurred in the 
county building resulting in the relocation of staff to another site 
where they shared space with other county employees. Because of the 
contaminants, the staff did not have ready access to files, documents 
and most equipment. If an extension of the deadline for submission of 
the CAPER report had been denied, the county would not have been able 
to submit a complete and accurate expenditure report on its 2002 
program. The performance report provides local residents with 
information on the county's accomplishments during the year, and the 
report data goes into

[[Page 47251]]

HUD's national database, which is used for various reporting purposes. 
While HUD desires timely reports, it is also interested in ensuring 
that the performance reports prepared by grantees are complete and 
accurate.
    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.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 91.520.
    Project/Activity: Request for extension of the submission deadline 
for the CAPER of the city of San Angelo, Texas.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 91.520 requires 
each grantee to submit a performance report to HUD within 90 days after 
the close of the grantee's program year. The city of San Angelo's 
program year ended on September 30, 2002, and therefore its CAPER was 
due December 29, 2003.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: November 18, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The city requested an extension of its submission 
deadline to February 16, 2004. The resignation of a key staff member 
responsible for preparing the CAPER and the loss of two other staff 
members, only one of whom could be replaced, left the city with a staff 
shortage. In addition, the city spent much time providing information 
to HUD's Office of Inspector General (OIG) regarding a public housing 
authority investigation, and the city's Community Development office 
was asked to prepare a response to the OIG report. The city also was 
asked to provide information to the Department of Labor concerning a 
labor investigation. Finally, the city's independent auditor was 
conducting a compliance audit of the city's HOME and CDBG programs. The 
time that the city spent cooperating with and gathering information for 
these investigations and audits was extensive and, combined with the 
staff losses, resulted in the city being unable to expend the time 
needed to prepare its CAPER. If the request for extension deadline of 
submission of the CAPER report had been denied, the city would not have 
been able to submit a complete and accurate expenditure report on its 
2002 program. While HUD desires timely reports, it is also interested 
in ensuring that the performance reports prepared by grantees are 
complete and accurate.
    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.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 91.520.
    Project/Activity: Request for extension of submission deadline for 
the CAPER of the city of Des Plaines, Illinois.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 91.520 requires 
each grantee to submit a performance report to HUD within 90 days after 
the close of the grantee's program year. The city's program year ended 
September 30, 2003. Therefore, its CAPER was due December 29, 2003.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: December 17, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The city's letter of December 5, 2003, requested an 
extension of its submission deadline to February 27, 2004. The city's 
Community Development Block Grant Coordinator resigned in September 
2003. The position was filled on an interim basis in October, but the 
city required additional time to complete the CAPER because of this 
change. If an extension of the deadline for submission of the CAPER had 
been denied, the city would not have been able to submit a complete and 
accurate performance report on its 2002 program. While HUD desires 
timely reports, it is also interested in ensuring that the performance 
reports prepared by grantees are complete and accurate.
    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.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 92.502(d)(2).
    Project/Activity: City of Springfield, Ohio--Investment of HOME 
Funds.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 92.502(d)(2) 
prohibits the investment of additional HOME funds in a project after 
one year has passed from the date of project completion. The purpose of 
the prohibition is to ensure that projects are brought up to all 
applicable standards at the time the HOME-funded work is performed and 
that HOME funds are not used for on-going maintenance or replacement 
costs.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary of Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: December 12, 2003.
    Reason Waived: Chronic under-occupancy and lack of improvements to 
the property resulted in multiple sales and eventual foreclosure of the 
property. The most recent purchaser was willing to rehabilitate and 
maintain all the HOME-assisted units as affordable units. At HUD's 
request, the city extended the period of affordability by five years 
although the additional funding requested in combination with the 
original investment did not trigger the longer affordability period. 
The city's efforts to restore the viability of this project over 
several years, in light of the fact that the regulations permit the 
restrictions to lapse in the event of foreclosure, constituted good 
cause for a waiver.
    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.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 92.503(b).
    Project/Activity: State of Colorado--Repayment of HOME Funds.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 92.503(b) requires 
the repayment of HOME funds in the event a property does not meet the 
HOME affordability requirements for the period of time specified in 24 
CFR 92.252 or 92.254.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: October 6, 2003.
    Reasons Waived: Due to insufficient rents, the owner was forced to 
sell a property containing two HOME-assisted units to stabilize the 
financial viability of its remaining properties. In an effort to avoid 
repayment of the entire initial HOME investment, the state of Colorado 
requested the owner to substitute two one-bedroom units in another 
property, which was not federally subsidized, at rents significantly 
below the HOME maximum rent for the area. The proposed units were found 
to be acceptable comparable unit substitution in lieu of repayment, 
which also advanced HUD's efforts to preserve the availability of 
affordable housing in the state of Colorado.

Assistant Secretary, Community Planning and Development, Department of

the restructuring process.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 883.606.
    Project/Activity: The 400 Apartments, Bismarck, ND; Project Number: 
094-35043.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 883.606(b) establishes the 
procedures by which a state agency is entitled to a reasonable fee, 
determined by HUD, for administering a contract on newly constructed or 
substantially rehabilitated units, provided there is no override on the 
permanent loan granted by the agency to the owner for a project 
containing assisted units.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: November 4, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The North Dakota Housing Finance Agency (Issuer) 
used override revenue to provide very low-income housing assistance in 
accordance with its refunding agreement under the McKinney-Vento Act. 
This revenue is pledged to the bondholders of the Series 1993 
Multifamily Mortgage Revenue Refunding bonds as a source of additional 
security for timely payment of bond principal and interest until the 
bonds are paid in full. It was determined to be in the public interest 
and consistent with the Secretary's objectives to waive the appropriate 
regulation in order to enable the Issuer to continue to pledge fee 
revenues to its bonds and to rely on these revenues to support its 
publicly chartered affordable housing operations. The Issuer was 
therefore permitted to continue to collect override and contract 
administration fees in connection with its outstanding Series 1993, 
which were issued with HUD's approval.

    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: November 4, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority (NHHFA) 
relied on HUD's approval of proposed bond financing terms submitted by 
NHHFA in 1991, which terms included permission to collect both override 
and contract administration fees. Subsequently, Series 1991 Multifamily

[[Page 47264]]

Housing Refunding Bonds (the Bonds) were issued pursuant to HUD's 
financing adjustment factor (FAF) procedures and Section 1012 of the 
McKinney-Vento Act, which authorizes equal sharing between HUD and 
housing finance agencies of debt service savings and housing subsidy 
provided by the housing assistance payments (HAP) contract. It was 
determined to be in the public interest and consistent with the 
Secretary's objectives to waive the appropriate regulations in order to 
enable the Issuer to continue to pledge fee revenues to its bonds and 
to rely on these revenues to support its publicly chartered affordable 
housing operations. The Issuer was permitted to continue to collect 
override and contract administration fees in connection with its 
outstanding Series 1991 bonds, which were issued with HUD's approval.

III. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Public and Indian 
Housing

    For further information about the following regulatory waivers, 
please see the name of the contact person that immediately follows the 
description of the waiver granted.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 902.33(c).
    Project/Activity: Huntsville Housing Authority, AL047 Huntsville, 
AL.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting 
compliance dates. In accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133, unaudited financial statements are required to be 
submitted two months after the fiscal year end of a public housing 
agency (PHA), and audited financial statements are required no later 
than 9 months after the PHA's fiscal year ends.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 6, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The housing authority requested an extension of time 
to file a technical review/database adjustment (TR/DBA). The housing 
authority's Board of Commissioners exercised a 60-day termination 
clause in its Executive Director's employment contract and terminated 
the Director's employment with the housing authority.

[[Page 47276]]

The housing authority staff believed that the request for a TR/DBA had 
been formally submitted by the Executive Director before the Director's 
departure. It was subsequently discovered that the request had not been 
submitted. An extension of time was therefore granted.
    Contact: Judy Wojciechowski, Director, Office of Troubled Agency 
Recovery, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing 
and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-
5000, telephone (202) 708-4932.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 902.33(c).
    Project/Activity: Jesup Housing Authority, GA066, Jesup, GA.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting 
compliance dates. In accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133, unaudited financial statements are required to be 
submitted two months after the fiscal year end of a public housing 
agency (PHA), and audited financial statements are required no later 
than 9 months after the PHA's fiscal year ends.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 6, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The housing authority did not perform a financial 
audit for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002, because the 
auditor cancelled the audit. The cancellation was attributed to an 
investigation of the housing authority's former Executive Director by 
HUD's Office of the Inspector General (OIG). HUD's OIG had the 
financial data needed for the audit to be submitted. Additional time 
was needed to complete the audit.
    Contact: Judy Wojciechowski, Director, Office of Troubled Agency 
Recovery, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing 
and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-

     Regulation: 24 CFR 902.33(c).
    Project/Activity: Kansas City Housing Authority (KS001) Kansas 
City, KS.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting 
compliance dates. In accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133, unaudited financial statements are required to be 
submitted two months after the fiscal year end of a public housing 
agency (PHA), and audited financial statements are required no later 
than 9 months after the PHA's fiscal year ends.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 26, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The housing authority requested an extension of time 
to submit its unaudited financial data. The housing authority's 
Executive Director had misfiled the notification letter stating that 
the unaudited submission had been rejected and that the authority had 
until June 26, 2002, to resubmit corrected unaudited financial data. 
Consequently, it was not until September 2003 that the housing 
authority realized it had received a late penalty fee for failing to 
resubmit a corrected unaudited submission and must resubmit its 
unaudited financial data.

    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting 
compliance dates. In accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133, unaudited financial statements are required to be 
submitted two months after the fiscal year end of a public housing 
agency (PHA), and audited financial statements are required no later 
than 9 months after the PHA's fiscal year ends.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: December 8, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The housing authority requested an extension of time 
to file its financial data. The housing authority advised that it did 
not complete the 2002 audited financial resubmission, due on January 
23, 2003, because the auditor had retired due to illness. Consequently, 
the housing authority procured the services of another auditor, who is 
currently performing the 2003 audit, to complete the housing 
authority's 2002 audited financial statements.

    Date Granted: December 17, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The housing authority requested a 60-day extension 
to submit its audited financial submission because of an investigation 
by HUD and other agencies. As a result of the investigation, the 
housing authority's auditors could not complete the audit by the due 
date.

    Project/Activity: Charles County Government Department of Comm. 
Svcs., MD024, Port Tobacco, MD.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting 
compliance dates. In accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133, unaudited financial statements are required to be

agency (PHA), and audited financial statements are required no later 
than 9 months after the PHA's fiscal year ends.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: December 19, 2003.
    Reason Waived: According to the waiver request, dated September 10, 
2003, the housing authority's records, including backups of electronic 
files, were destroyed in a fire on May 12, 2003, which was documented 
by newspaper articles.

later than 9 months after the PHA's fiscal year ends.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 26, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The housing authority requested an extension of time 
to submit its audited financial data. Several factors were cited, 
including delays caused by audit contract cancellations and an OIG 
investigation of possible misappropriation of funds by the previous 
housing authority administration.

    Project/Activity: City of Shelby Housing Authority, NC034, Shelby, 
NC.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting 
compliance dates. In accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133, unaudited financial statements are required to be 
submitted two months after the fiscal year end of a public housing 
agency (PHA), and audited financial statements are required no later 
than 9 months after the PHA's fiscal year ends.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 19, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The housing authority did not fully understand the 
filing requirements for the financial audited information, because this 
was its first time filing an audited submission. Therefore, the housing 
authority failed to complete the submission process by the due date and 
additional time as needed.

NC075, Albemarle, NC.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting 
compliance dates. In accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133, unaudited financial statements are required to be 
submitted two months after the fiscal year end of a public housing 
agency (PHA), and audited financial statements are required no later 
than 9 months after the PHA's fiscal year ends.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 26, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The housing authority was unaware that it had to 
submit audited financial statements, separate from those of the City of 
Albemarle. This was the first year in which the audited financial 
submission was due for the housing authority. The housing authority 
submitted unaudited financial submissions on a timely basis for fiscal 
years ending 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003.

    Project/Activity: Plattsburgh Housing Authority, NY018, 
Plattsburgh, NY.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting 
compliance dates. In accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133, unaudited financial statements are required to be 
submitted two months after the fiscal year end of a public housing

    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 26, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The housing authority did not submit its audited 
financial statements, because its newly hired accountant was not 
familiar with the final step in the submission process. The housing 
authority thought that the audited report had been successfully 
transmitted in a timely fashion, but later learned that it had not been 
submitted.

    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting 
compliance dates. In accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133, unaudited financial statements are required to be 
submitted two months after the fiscal year end of a public housing 
agency (PHA), and audited financial statements are required no later 
than 9 months after the PHA's fiscal year ends.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 26, 2003.
    Reason Waived: On April 1, 2003, the housing authority procured 
auditors for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, which was long 
before the audit due date of December 31, 2003. However, in October 
2003, the auditors informed the housing authority that they would be 
unable to perform the audit. The housing authority needed to procure a 
new auditor and additional time for the audit to be performed.

    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting 
compliance dates. In accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133, unaudited financial statements are required to be 
submitted two months after the fiscal year end of a public housing 
agency (PHA), and audited financial statements are required no later 
than 9 months after the PHA's fiscal year ends.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 4, 2003.
    Reason Waived: Eleven days prior to the audited submission due 
date, the Executive Director was asked to resign by the housing 
authority's Board of Directors because of alleged contract violations 
among other factors. Because this matter may potentially have affected 
the housing authority's financial position and operating results for 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2002, the interim Executive Director and the auditors 
requested additional time to investigate the matter and to report the 
housing authority's financial posture for the fiscal year ending 
December 31, 2002.

    Project/Activity: Kemp Housing Authority, TX387, Kemp, TX.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting 
compliance dates. In accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133, unaudited financial statements are required to be 
submitted two months after the fiscal year end of a public housing 
agency (PHA), and audited financial statements are required no later 
than 9 months after the PHA's fiscal year ends.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 4, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The housing authority requested an indefinite 
extension of time to submit its audited financial statements for the 
fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The housing authority requested an 
extension of time because of an on-going OIG investigation in which the 
Texas State Office of Public Housing obtained the housing authority's 
financial records on March 26, 2003, and turned them over to the OIG on 
June 27, 2003.

Circular A-133, unaudited financial statements are required to be 
submitted two months after the fiscal year end of a public housing

    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: December 17, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The housing authority requested an extension of 
time. A new finance officer, who had began employment with the housing 
authority only a short time before the submission due date, was new to 
the housing industry and was not familiar with HUD processes. 
Therefore, the office did not complete the final step in the submission 
process.

    Nature of Requirement: The regulation requires that if the partner 
or owner entity (or any other entity with an identity of interest with 
such party) wants to serve as a general contractor for a project or 
development, the partner or owner entity may award itself the 
construction contract only if it can demonstrate to HUD's satisfaction 
that its bid is the lowest submitted in response to a public request 
for bids.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: October 31, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The waiver of the public bidding requirement was 
approved in order for Integral Building Group, LLC, whose members are 
affiliates of Integral Properties, LLC, the project's developer, to 
complete Phase 1 of the Garden Homes project. The Savannah Housing 
Authority (SHA) submitted an independent third party cost estimate for 
the work to be performed by Integral Building Group on Phase 1, which 
totaled $15,407,230. SHA also submitted the construction contract with 
Crosland Contracting for the work, which totaled $15,049,197, which 
satisfied HUD's condition that the construction contract be less than 
or equal to the independent cost estimate.

project. The Albany Housing Authority (AHA) submitted an independent 
third party cost estimate for the work, which totaled $9,134,641. AHA 
also submitted the construction contract with Integral Building Group 
for the work in the amount of $9,092,059, which satisfied HUD's 
condition that the construction contract be less than or equal to the 
independent cost estimate.

    Date Granted: December 3, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The waiver of the public bidding requirement cases 
was approved in order for Thrush Construction, Inc., to serve as 
General Contractor of the Jazz on the Boulevard project. The Chicago 
Housing Authority (CHA) submitted an independent third party cost 
estimate for the work, which totaled $21,850,000. CHA also submitted 
the construction contract with Thrush Construction for the work in the

    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: December 17, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The waiver of the public bidding requirement was 
approved in order for Walsh Construction Company to serve as General 
Contractor for Phase 1A of the Pershing Court project. The Chicago 
Housing Authority (CHA) submitted an independent third party cost 
estimate from Tishman Construction Corporation for the work, which 
totaled $11,647,000. The construction price of $11,013,524 offered by 
Walsh Construction is approximately five percent less than the total 
cost estimate prepared by Tishman. This satisfies HUD condition that 
the construction contact be less than or equal to the independent cost 
estimate.

    Project/Activity: Dallas, Texas, FY1998 Roseland Homes HOPE VI 
Grant, Phase IX, Hall Street Corridor.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation requires that a public 
housing authority use an open and competitive process to select a 
partner or owner entity to develop a mixed-finance project containing 
public housing units.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: December 11, 2003.
    Reason Waived: Dallas Housing Authority (DHA) presented compelling 
arguments that the development effort would be greatly enhanced by 
involvement of the selected non-profit partner. DHA demonstrated that 
the award of a contract through competitive means would be infeasible, 
because the item is available only from a single source. DHA would be 
unable to procure any other developer with similar experience and 
commitment to the Roseland community or who would be able to offer site 
control of the land parcels providing essential links within the 
community.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 982.207(b)(3).
    Project/Activity: Boston Housing Authority (BHA), Boston, MA.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 982.207(b)(3), which governs tenant 
selection under the project-based voucher program, states that a 
housing agency may adopt a preference for admission of families that 
include a person with disabilities, but may not adopt a preference for 
persons with a specific disability.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary For Public And Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: December 22, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The BHA requested a waiver of the selection 
preference regulation in order to select homeless persons who have a 
serious and persistent mental illness that is severe enough to 
interfere with one or more activities of daily living to occupy units 
that will receive project-based voucher assistance for occupancy of a 
project at 34 Algonquin Street. The waiver was granted because the BHA 
demonstrated that separate housing and services provided at 34 
Algonquin Street would enable the target population to have the same 
opportunity as others to enjoy the benefits of secure affordable 
housing. Without units designated for members of the target population, 
they would not be able to maintain their position on BHA's tenant-based 
or project-based waiting list, because they do not have a fixed 
address, do not understand materials sent to them, and are frequently 
hospitalized. The target population also would not be successful in the 
housing search process, even if a voucher were issued, due to the 
stigma inappropriately associated with mental illness and the need for 
supportive services.

    Project/Activity: Huntsville Housing Authority (HHA), Huntsville, 
AL.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 982.207(b)(3), which governs tenant 
selection under the project-based voucher program, states that a 
housing agency may adopt a preference for admission of families that 
include a person with disabilities, but may not adopt a preference for 
persons with a specific disability.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: December 22, 2003.
    Reason Waived: HHA requested a waiver of the selection preference 
regulation to select persons with mental illness or mental retardation, 
as verified by a health care professional, to occupy units that will 
receive project-based voucher assistance at Castlewood Apartments. In 
2001 and 2002, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit State Qualified 
Allocation Plans administered by the Alabama Housing Finance Authority 
(AHFA) required that a project receiving a tax credit allocation would 
designate no fewer than 10 percent of the units for individuals with 
mental illness or mental retardation (with additional points for 15 
percent or more). This requirement stemmed from a Memorandum of 
Understanding (MOU) between AHFA and the Department of Mental Health/
Mental Retardation (DMH/MR) in which the agencies agreed to require 
this designation in any project that received an allocation of tax 
credits from AHFA in 2001 and 2002. The MOU was a result of the 
settlement by the state of Alabama of a lawsuit entitled Wyatt v. 
Sawyer in which the state agreed to eliminate approximately 600 long-
term care beds from DMH/MR facilities for the treatment of mental 
illness or mental retardation. DMH/MR's remedy to replace those beds 
was the preference requirement for such individuals in projects 
receiving tax credit allocations from AHFA. The waiver was limited to 
no more than 15 percent (rounded up) of the units, equivalent to six of 
the 37 existing units in the project.

    Reason Waived: EHA requested a waiver of the selection preference 
regulation to select persons with mental illness or mental retardation, 
as verified by a health care professional, to occupy units that will 
receive project-based voucher assistance at Covington Way and 
Carrington Place. In 2001 and 2002, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit

persons with a specific disability, such as HIV/AIDS.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: December 11, 2003.
    Reason Waived: BHA requested a waiver of the selection preference 
regulation in order to select families eligible for Housing 
Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) families to occupy units at 
Seton Manor. Since by law only persons with HIV/AIDS may occupy units 
developed with HOPWA funds, a public housing agency may only authorize 
occupancy of such units by persons with HIV/AIDS, even if the units 
also receive project-based voucher assistance. Therefore, in selecting 
families to refer to the owner for occupancy of these units, BHA would 
have had to pass over persons on its waiting list until it reached a 
person with HIV/AIDS interested in moving into one of the units at 
Seton Manor.

    Reason Waived: HHA requested a waiver of the selection preference 
regulation to select persons with mental illness or mental retardation, 
as verified by a health care professional, to occupy units designated

stemmed from an MOU between AHFA and DMH/MR in which the agencies 
agreed to require this designation in any project that received an 
allocation of tax credits from AHFA in 2001 and 2002. The MOU was a 
result of the settlement by the state of Alabama of a lawsuit entitled 
Wyatt v. Sawyer in which the state agreed to eliminate approximately 
600 long-term care beds from DMH/MR facilities for the treatment of 
mental illness or mental retardation. DMH/MR's remedy to replace those 
beds was the preference requirement for such individuals in projects 
receiving tax credit allocations from AHFA. The waiver was limited to 
no more than 15 percent (rounded up) of the units, or two of the eight 
units of new construction in the project.

    Project/Activity: BHA, Boston, MA.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 982.207(b)(3), which governs tenant-
selection under the project-based voucher program, states that a 
housing agency may adopt a preference for admission of families that 
include a person with disabilities, but may not adopt a preference for 
persons with a specific disability.
    Section II, subpart E, of the January 16, 2001, Federal Register 
notice, Revisions to PHA Project-Based Assistance (PBA) Program; 
Initial Guidance, 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. The law requires that a contract for 
project-based assistance only be approved by a PHA if it is consistent 
with the goal of deconcentrating poverty and expanding housing and 
economic opportunities.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: December 22, 2003.
    Reason Waived: BHA requested a waiver of the selection preference 
requirements in 24 CFR 982.207(b)(3) in order to select homeless 
persons who have a serious and persistent mental illness that is severe 
enough to interfere with one or more activities of daily living to 
occupy units that will receive project-based voucher assistance at 131 
Ziegler Street. BHA demonstrated that separate housing and services 
provided at 131 Ziegler Street would enable the target population to 
have the same opportunity as others to enjoy the benefits of secure 
affordable housing. Without units designated for members of the target 
population, they would not be able to maintain their position on the 
BHA's tenant-based or project-based waiting list because they did not 
have a fixed address, did not understand materials sent to them, and 
were frequently hospitalized. The target population also would not be 
successful in the housing search process, even if a voucher were 
issued, due to the stigma inappropriately associated with mental 
illness and the need for supportive services.
    Approval of the exception to deconcentration was granted, since the 
project is located in a HUD-designated Empowerment Zone, the purpose of 
which is to open new businesses, and create jobs, housing, and new 
educational and healthcare opportunities for thousands of Americans.

    Project/Activity: St. Paul Public Housing Agency (SPPHA), St. Paul, 
MN.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 982.207(b)(3), which governs tenant 
selection under the project-based voucher program, states that a 
housing agency may adopt a preference for admission of families that 
include a person with disabilities, but may not adopt a preference for 
persons with a specific disability. 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.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 26, 2003.
    Reason Waived: SPPHA requested a waiver of the selection preference 
regulation in order to select families eligible for Housing 
Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) to occupy units that will 
receive PBA at Martin Luther King Court, as well as an exception to the 
initial guidance, since the project is located in census tracts with 
poverty rates of 20.66 percent, 20.72 percent, and 22.75 percent.

[[Page 47284]]

    Approval to waive selection preference requirements was granted 
since eight units in this project were developed with HOPWA funds and 
none will receive rental or operating subsidy under the HOPWA program. 
Since by law only persons with HIV/AIDS may occupy units developed with 
HOPWA funds, a public housing agency may only authorize occupancy of 
such units by persons with HIV/AIDS, even if the units also receive 
PBA.
    Approval of the exception for deconcentration was granted since the 
first two duplexes are in the St. Paul Enterprise Community and the 
last duplex is less than one block from its southern border and should 
derive the same benefits. The purpose of establishing enterprise 
communities is to open new businesses and create jobs, housing, and new 
educational and healthcare opportunities for thousands of Americans. 
These goals are consistent with the goal of deconcentrating poverty and 
expanding housing and economic opportunities.

accordance with 24 CFR part 8.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 26, 2003.
    Reason Waived: FRHA requested a special exception payment standard 
that exceeds 120 percent of the fair market rent as a reasonable 
accommodation for a disabled housing choice voucher program 
participant. The waiver was granted to allow two disabled housing 
choice voucher participants to lease in place because they had 
established relationships with neighbors and friends who had been 
supportive. Building management had also been supportive by building a 
handicap ramp, establishing automatic door openers with personalized 
controllers, and installing low pile carpeting to make movement of 
their wheelchairs less burdensome in their apartments. If they had been 
required to move, it would have been extremely disruptive, not only to 
their personal and support connections, but also to their physical and 
mental well-being.

    Reason Waived: HAWC requested a special exception payment standard 
that exceeds 120 percent of the fair market rent as a reasonable 
accommodation for a disabled housing choice voucher program 
participant. The waiver was granted to allow a disabled housing choice 
voucher participant to lease the proposed unit because her doctors 
believed that the proposed apartment unit would best accommodate her 
disabilities, based on environmental surroundings, familiarity, 
security, and its larger size. The participant was struggling to 
maintain her personal independence while caring for herself, and her 
doctors believed that the apartment unit would allow her to preserve 
and improve her quality of life.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(d)
    Project/Activity: King County Housing Authority (KCHA), Seattle, 
WA.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 982.505(d) allows a PHA to approve a 
higher payment standard within the basic range for a family that 
includes a person with a disability as a reasonable accommodation in 
accordance with 24 CFR part 8.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: December 10, 2003.
    Reason Waived: CHA requested an exception payment standard that 
exceeds 120 percent of the fair market rent as a reasonable 
accommodation for a housing choice voucher participant for a 
manufactured home space rental. The participant suffers from a mental 
condition that causes severe depression and paranoia. The waiver was 
granted to allow the housing choice voucher participant to remain at 
her current location, to maintain a stable lifestyle, and live 
independently.

    Project/Activity: Howard County Housing Commission (HCHC), 
Columbia, MD.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 982.505(d) allows a PHA to approve a 
higher payment standard within the basic range for a family that 
includes a person with a disability as a reasonable accommodation in 
accordance with 24 CFR part 8.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: December 12, 2003.
    Reason Waived: HCHC requested an exception payment standard that 
exceeds 120 percent of the fair market rent as a reasonable 
accommodation for a housing choice voucher participant with a 
disability who relies on a wheelchair. The Housing Choice Voucher 
program participant was the head of the household and was a person with 
a disability who relies on a wheelchair. The unit in question was 
wheelchair accessible. According to the Commission only three percent 
of the units in this area were accessible. In addition, the Commission 
had been advised by the participant's doctor that relocation from his 
current unit would be detrimental to his health and possibly cause 
life-threatening deterioration.

    Project/Activity: El Dorado County Housing Authority (EDHA), 
Placerville, CA.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 983.3(a)(2) requires that the units 
to be project-based not be under a tenant-based or project based 
housing assistance payments (HAP) contract or otherwise committed, 
e.g., vouchers issued to families searching for housing or units under 
a HAP contract.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 19, 2003.
    Reason Waived: EDHA requested a waiver of requirements regarding 
the availability of vouchers for project-based assistance, so that it 
could enter into an agreement for a HAP contract for White Rock 
Village. At the time EDCHA had a turnover rate of approximately eight 
vouchers per month. There were 42 vouchers that had project-based 
assistance attached at White Rock Village. EDCHA's intention was to 
stop issuing turnover vouchers in the six months immediately preceding 
the date anticipated for HAP contract execution to ensure that vouchers 
would be available for this project and that over-leasing will not 
occur.

subpart E, of the January 16, 2001, Federal Register notice, Revisions 
to PHA Project-Based Assistance Program; Initial Guidance.
    Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the City of Tampa (HACT), 
Tampa, FL.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 983.51 requires competitive 
selection of owner proposals in accordance with a housing authority's 
HUD-approved advertisement and unit selection policy. 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 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: October 20, 2003.
    Reason Waived: HACT requested a waiver of the competitive selection 
of owner proposals and an exception to the initial guidance to permit 
it to attach project-based assistance to the Oaks at Riverview located 
in a census tract with a poverty rate of 34 percent. Approval to waive 
competitive selection was granted, since the owner/developer, a team of 
three firms (Mid City Urban, Henson Development company and Russell New 
Urban Development), was competitively selected by the HACT to develop 
its HOPE VI units. Approval of the exception for deconcentration was 
granted, since the project will be a 250-unit new construction 
development that is part of a HOPE VI revitalization plan to replace 
360 demolished public housing units of Riverview Terrace and Tom Dyer 
Homes. Of the 250 units at the Oaks at Riverview, 45 will receive 
project-based assistance and 205 units will be public housing. In 
addition to the units at Oaks at Riverview, the revitalization plan for 
the site consists of 96 homeownership units, of which 36 will be 
marketed to families participating in the housing choice voucher 
homeownership program and 60 will be market rate.

    Project/Activity: Lynn Public Housing Agency (LPHA), Lynn, MA.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 983.51 requires competitive 
selection of owner proposals in accordance with a housing authority's 
HUD-approved advertisement and unit selection policy.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 18, 2003.
    Reason Waived: LPHA requested a waiver of competitive selection of 
owner proposals to permit it to attach project-based assistance to Lynn 
YMCA Project. Approval to waive competitive selection was granted, 
since the Lynn YMCA Project was competitively awarded $700,000 in 
McKinney-Vento Supportive Housing Program funds for the construction of 
the project, as well as $200,000 in federally apportioned local HOME 
funds.

    Nature of Requirement: Section 983.51 requires competitive 
selection of owner proposals in accordance with a housing authority's 
HUD-approved advertisement and unit selection policy.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 18, 2003.
    Reason Waived: LPHA requested a waiver of competitive selection of 
owner proposals to permit it to attach project-based assistance to St. 
Jean Baptiste Project.
    Approval to waive competitive selection was granted, since St. Jean 
Baptiste Project was competitively awarded low-income housing tax 
credits through the state of Massachusetts' competitive process. The 
project also received $550,000 in state HOME funds. Since the project 
was also awarded funding under two previous federal competitions, the 
waiver was granted.

Minneapolis, MN.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 983.51 requires competitive 
selection of owner proposals in accordance with a housing authority's 
HUD-approved advertisement and unit selection policy.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: December 22, 2003.
    Reason Waived: MPHA requested a waiver of competitive selection of 
owner proposals to permit it to attach project-based assistance to 
Loring Towers. Approval to waive competitive selection was granted, 
since Loring Towers was competitively awarded low-income housing tax 
credits to obtain tax-exempt bonds and Preservation Affordable Rental 
Investment Funds (a ``soft debt'' without interest to be repaid at the 
end of the 30-year compliance period) by the Minnesota Housing Finance 
Agency.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 990.107(f) and 990.109.
    Project/Activity: Harrisburg, PA, Housing Authority.
    Nature of Requirement: Under 24 CFR 990.107 and 990.109, the 
Operating Fund Formula energy conservation incentive, which relates to 
energy performance contracting, applies to only PHA-paid utilities.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: October 31, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The Harrisburg Housing Authority has resident-paid 
utilities. The housing authority requested permission to benefit from 
energy performance contracting for developments that have resident-paid 
utilities. The housing authority estimated that it could increase 
energy savings substantially, if it were able to undertake energy 
performance contracting for its resident-paid utilities. 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 had presented a sound and reasonable 
methodology for doing so. In 2003, the Harrisburg Housing Authority 
requested a waiver based on the same approved methodology. The waiver 
permits the housing authority to exclude from its 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.

Columbiana Housing Authority has resident-paid utilities.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 26, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The Columbiana Housing Authority has resident-paid 
utilities. The housing authority requested permission to benefit from 
energy performance contracting for developments that have resident-paid 
utilities. The housing authority requested a waiver based on the same 
methodology approved for the Oakland Housing Authority in September 
1996. The waiver permits the housing authority to exclude from its 
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)

Texas.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 1000.336 establishes a provision 
that a tribe, a tribally designated housing entity (TDHE), or HUD may 
request a waiver of the June 15 deadline to challenge data used to 
compute the formula allocation under the Indian Housing Block Grant 
(IHBG) program established by the Native American Housing Assistance 
and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) of 1996.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 10, 2003.
    Reason Waived: The Kickapoo Traditional Tribe requested permission 
to submit a census challenge after the June 15 deadline. The request 
regarded data used in computing their FY2003 IHBG formula allocation. 
In accordance with Sec.  1000.336(b), tribes had to submit census 
challenges to HUD by June 15, 2003, for consideration for the FY2004 
funding cycle. The decision to use Census 2000 data for six of the 
seven needs variables was made immediately prior to September 2003, and 
the tribe did not receive this information until after September 5, 
2003. Therefore, it was not able to review its data in order to comply 
with this requirement before the June 15 deadline.

this aspect of the law on a case-by-case basis.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian

    Date Granted: November 4, 2003.
    Reason Waived: HACF requested an exception to Section II, subpart 
F, of the initial guidance to attach project-based assistance to 100 
percent of the units at North Market Manor. The approval of the 
exception to subpart F was based on the economic self-sufficiency 
nature of the services the families residing at the development would 
receive. The services included educational classes, health seminars, 
job skills training, after-school programs, financial workshops, and 
homeownership training.

    Project/Activity: New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), New 
York, NY.
    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.
    Granted By: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: November 26, 2003.
    Reason Waived: NYCHA requested an exception to the initial guidance 
for three projects, 500 West 56th Street, 1615 St. John's Place, and 
527 Bushwick Avenue.
    Approval of the exception for deconcentration was granted for 500 
West 56th Street, since the census tract in which the project is 
located is one of 20 census tracts that comprise Manhattan Community 
District 4 (CD4). Commercial activities in this district include the 
2.1 million square foot AOL-Time Warner center and a 540,000 square 
foot film and television production facility, Studio City. Specific 
commercial activity in the census tract includes the Cyber Center and 
the Image Group Studios. The commercial activity in CD4 will provide 
significant economic opportunities for its residents and the creation 
of more than 9,000 housing units, of which the majority will be market-
rate housing.
    Approval of the exception for deconcentration was granted for 1615 
St. John's Place, since the project is located in a census tract that 
had a reduction of more than 13 percent in its poverty rate since 1990. 
The project is located in the East New York Empire Zone and, although 
the census tract in which this project is located is entirely 
residential, residents can avail themselves of the Empire Zone's 
services. Empire zones were designed to encourage local business 
development with government tax and other incentives. To expand their 
economic opportunities, 1,128 zone residents have participated in a 
self-sufficiency training program through the city's Department of 
Employment and Department of Parks and Recreation.
    Approval of the exception for deconcentration was granted for 527
