DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-5074-N-01]


Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the First 
Quarter of Calendar Year 2006

AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel, 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 January 1, 2006, and ending on March 31, 2006.

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 first quarter of calendar year 2006.

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). In accordance with those procedures and with the 
requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act, waivers of 
regulations are granted by the Assistant Secretary with jurisdiction 
over the regulations for which a waiver was requested. In those cases 
in which a General Deputy Assistant Secretary granted the waiver, the 
General Deputy Assistant Secretary was serving in the absence of the 
Assistant Secretary in accordance with the office's Order of 
Succession.
    This notice covers waivers of regulations granted by HUD from 
January 1, 2006, through March 31, 2006. 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 Fair 
Housing and Equal Opportunity, the Office of Housing, and 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 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.
    Waiver 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 (the first quarter of calendar 
year 2006) before the next report is published (the second quarter of 
calendar year 2006), HUD will include any additional waivers granted 
for the first quarter in the next report.
    Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining 
to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this 
notice.

    Dated: June 24, 2006.
Keith E. Gottfried,
General Counsel.

Appendix--Listing of Waivers of Regulatory Requirements Granted by 
Offices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development January 1, 
2006, Through March 31, 2006

    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 regulatory 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 regulatory waivers, 
please see the name of the contact person that immediately follows the 
description of the waiver granted.
     Regulations: 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2).
    Project/Activity: The State of Louisiana request to waive 24 CFR 
91.115(c)(2) of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program 
regulations.
    Nature of Requirement: The provisions of 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) 
require that a minimum of 30 days be allowed for public comment 
following an amendment to the state's Consolidated Plan.
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: January 20, 2006.
    Reason Waived: Given the unexpected nature of the situation, 
Louisiana's Consolidated Plan does not give the State of Louisiana the 
flexibility it needs to address the unexpected needs and

[[Page 38215]]

expenses of businesses and communities as they recover from the 
hurricanes. In order to quickly address these needs, it is appropriate 
to give the state the ability to streamline its citizen participation 
processes by reducing the public comment period from 30 to 10 days 
while still allowing for adequate public input.
    Contact: Steve Johnson, Director, State and Small Cities Division, 
Office of Block Grant Assistance, Community Planning and Development, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 7184, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-1322.

     Regulations and Statutes: 24 CFR 91.320(c) and (g)(1), 24 
CFR 91.325(b)(2)(v), 24 CFR 570.486(b); and 42 U.S.C. 5304(a)(1), 42 
U.S.C. 5306(d)(1), 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(2), 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(2)(D).
    Project/Activity: The State of Louisiana request to waive 24 CFR 
91.320(c) and (g)(1), 24 CFR 91.325(b)(2)(v), 24 CFR 570.486(b) of the 
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program regulations, and 
suspend 42 U.S.C. 5304(a)(1), 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(1), 42 U.S.C. 
5306(d)(2), and 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(2)(D) statutory requirements.
    Nature of Requirement: The provisions of 42 U.S.C. 5304(a)(1) 
require that the State's method of fund distribution provide for funds 
to be distributed to units of general local government. The provisions 
of 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(1) require that the State's CDBG funds shall be 
for use in non-entitlement areas. The provisions of 42 U.S.C. 
5306(d)(2) require that State CDBG funds are to be distributed only to 
units of general local government located in non-entitlement areas of 
the State. The provisions of 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(2)(D) require that the 
State certify that each unit of general local government to be 
distributed funds will identify its housing and community development 
needs. The provisions of 24 CFR 91.320(c) and (g)(1) require that the 
State describe its method of funds distribution, which must describe 
the criteria used to select applications from local governments for 
funding, including the relative importance of the criteria, and how all 
CDBG resources will be allocated among all funding categories and the 
threshold factors and grant size limits that are to be applied. The 
provisions of 24 CFR 570.486(b) require that units of general local 
government determine that the activity is meeting its needs in 
accordance with 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(2)(D).
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: January 20, 2006.
    Reason Waived: HUD recognizes the critical financial need to assist 
small firms in the State of Louisiana to remain in business or to 
reopen. By allowing the State to directly carry out the Bridge Loan 
Program throughout the thirteen-parish target area (by contracting 
directly with banks), economies of scale, speed and administrative 
simplicity can be achieved. Valuable time would be lost if the State 
were to have to redesign its existing program design in order to funnel 
this funding through units of general local government. Given that the 
program, as initially implemented with State funding, is designed to 
serve businesses throughout the target area, it would present an undue 
hardship to limit the availability of CDBG assistance only to 
businesses located in non-entitlement communities.
    Contact: Steve Johnson, Director, State and Small Cities Division, 
Office of Block Grant Assistance, Community Planning and Development, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 7184, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410, telephone 202-708-1322.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 92.206(d)(5) and 24 CFR 92.502(d)(2).
    Project/Activity: The State of Nebraska request to waive 24 CFR 
92.206(d)(5) and 24 CFR 92.502(d)(2) of the HOME Program regulations.
    Nature of Requirement: The HOME final regulations at 24 CFR 
92.502(d)(2) state that, except for the 12 months following project 
completion, additional HOME assistance may not be provided to a 
previously assisted HOME project during the period of affordability.
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: March 27, 2006.
    Reason Waived: In 1994 the State of Nebraska invested HOME funds in 
the construction of a 30-unit project. This project has been 
experiencing financial problems which are expected to continue as 
capital needs over the next 20 years will exceed current reserves and 
projected revenue will be insufficient to cover the existing debt 
service. Additional HOME funds would address these anticipated 
shortfalls and to facilitate the refinancing of the first mortgage. The 
State, the Housing Authority of the County of Scottsbluff and its 
partners took necessary steps to correct many of the problems the 
project experienced and assure the viability of the project. The 
partners stabilized the vacancy rate, addressed general management 
issues, and requested a HUD-funded technical assistance workout. The 
State also agreed to invest state housing trust funds into the project 
and to reduce the interest rate on the existing HOME loan. The State, 
the Housing Authority of the County of Scottsbluff, and its partners 
exercised due diligence in their efforts to save this project.

Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 708-2684.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 92.209(h).
    Project/Activity: Arlington County, Virginia request to waive 24 
CFR 92.209(h) of the HOME regulations.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 92.208(h) of the HOME regulations 
requires participating jurisdictions (PJs) to establish a minimum 
contribution toward rent for tenants who receive HOME-funded tenant-
based rental assistance and that the subsidy paid by the PJ not exceed 
the difference between the PJ's rent standard and thirty percent of the 
family's adjusted gross income.
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: March 22, 2006.
    Reason Waived: Several families displaced by Hurricane Katrina who 
relocated to Arlington County, Virginia, were receiving insufficient or 
no assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The 
county wanted to provide the same level of assistance that would 
ordinarily be provided under FEMA's Individuals and Households Program, 
which pays the family's total monthly rent and utility costs. The 
county needed flexibility with HOME tenant-based rental assistance to 
best serve the needs of these families.

Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 708-2684.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 92.300(a)(1).
    Project/Activity: The State of Texas to waive 24 CFR 92.300(a)(1) 
of the HOME requirements.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 92.300(a)(1) of the HOME regulations 
requires that a participating jurisdiction (PJ) reserve not less than 
15 percent of each annual allocation for housing owned, sponsored or 
developed by Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) within 
24

[[Page 38216]]

months after HUD notifies the PJ that HUD has executed the 
jurisdiction's HOME Investment Partnership Agreement.
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: March 16, 2006.
    Reason Waived: In October 2005, HUD suspended section 231 of the 
National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 and the corresponding 
regulations at Sec.  92.300(a)(1) for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 due to 
Hurricane Rita. Although the State of Texas was released from the 
requirement to use 15 percent of its HOME allocation for CHDO 
activities, because fiscal year 2006 HOME allocations had not yet been 
released, the State could not put funds to immediate use to aid 
hurricane victims. The State requested permission to use unexpended 
CHDO funds from years prior to 2005 in an amount equal to 15 percent of 
its fiscal year 2006 HOME allocation for disaster-related activities 
that do not qualify as CHDO set-aside activities. Using prior years' 
unexpended CHDO funds will allow the State to address the affordable 
housing needs of victims more quickly, as the State will not receive 
its fiscal year 2006 HOME allocation until at least July 2006.
    Contact: Virginia Sardone, Office of Community Planning and 
Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 708-2684.

     Regulation and Statute: 24 CFR 570.482(f)(6) and 42 U.S.C. 
5305(e)(3).
    Project/Activity: The State of Louisiana request to waive 24 CFR 
570.482(f)(6) of the CDBG regulations, and suspend 42 U.S.C. 5305(e)(3) 
statutory requirements.
    Nature of Requirement: The provisions of 24 CFR 570.482(f)(6) 
require that the State and its grant recipients maintain sufficient 
records to demonstrate the level of public benefit. The provisions of 
42 U.S.C. 5305(e)(3) require the State to demonstrate that the public 
benefit provided by the activity is appropriate relative to the amount 
of assistance provided with the grant.
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: January 20, 2006.
    Reason Waived: Louisiana's Bridge Loan Program, as designed, will 
be funded with currently obligated, but unexpended, FY 2005 and prior 
year funds. These funds will be used to guarantee small business loans 
approved by various Louisiana banks. The State intends to reimburse the 
CDBG funds used to guarantee these loans with supplemental disaster 
funds (thus freeing up the funds for previously obligated activities). 
As this is expected to be a short-term interim financing tool, it is 
extremely unlikely that the CDBG assisted economic development 
activities will be completed during this time. Verification that the 
activities meet the public benefit standards cannot be demonstrated 
until activities are completed. It is more likely that accomplishments 
achieved by guaranteeing the small business loans will be demonstrated 
during the reporting process for the supplemental disaster allocation.
    Contact: Steve Johnson, Director, State and Small Cities Division, 
Office of Block Grant Assistance, Community Planning and Development, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 7184, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410, telephone 202-708-1322, ext. 4548.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 570.483(d).
    Project/Activity: The State of Louisiana's request to waive 24 CFR 
570.483(d) of the CDBG program requirements.
    Nature of Requirement: The provisions of 24 CFR 570.483(d) require 
certification by a unit of general local government to support the 
classification of activities as meeting the urgent need national 
objective.
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: January 20, 2006.
    Reason Waived: This waiver involves the Louisiana Bridge Loan 
Program, which the State intends to classify some of its activities as 
meeting the urgent need national objective. On October 28, 2005, HUD 
granted a waiver allowing Louisiana to change its certification of 
compliance with the 70 percent overall low and moderate income benefit 
requirement from a one year period to a two or three year period. This 
waiver allowed Louisiana to use a greater percentage of funds for 
activities that will meet the urgent need (or slum/blight) national 
objective. To demonstrate compliance with the urgent need national 
objective, however, the State CDBG program regulations require that ``* 
* * the unit of general local government certifies, and the state 
determines, that the activity is designed to alleviate existing 
conditions which pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or 
welfare of the community which are of recent origin or which recently 
became urgent, that the unit of general local government is unable to 
finance the activity on its own, and that other sources of funding are 
not available.'' Because the State will implement this program 
directly, units of general local government will not be involved in the 
funding process or in the determination of national objective 
compliance.

II. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Housing--Federal 
Housing Administration (FHA)

    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 206.51 and the portion of 24 CFR 
234.1(a) that references the exclusion of 24 CFR 203.43f, insofar as 
these regulations collectively preclude the eligibility of individual 
manufactured housing units in condominium projects.
    Project/Activity: Lake Padden Estates Condominium, Bellingham, WA.
    Nature of Requirement: The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) 
regulations at 24 CFR 206.51 provide that a condominium unit in a 
project committed to a plan of condominium ownership acceptable to the 
Secretary can be eligible security for an insured reverse mortgage 
loan.
    Part 234 of title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) sets 
forth the eligibility requirements for insured mortgages on condominium 
units. Section 234.19(a) incorporates, by reference, various provisions 
of Subpart A of part 203 of the regulations, concerning the eligibility 
requirements of mortgages secured by 1 to 4 family dwellings insured 
under section 203 of the National Housing Act. Section 234.1(a) of 24 
CFR also lists specific provisions that are not applicable to mortgages 
secured by condominium units and are excluded from the eligibility 
requirements.
    Section 203.43f of 24 CFR establishes the eligibility requirements 
for mortgages secured by manufactured homes. The eligibility 
requirements for manufactured homes are specifically excluded in the 
list of excepted sections contained in 24 CFR 234.1(a). The exclusion 
of 24 CFR 203.43f in the condominium mortgage insurance regulations 
precludes FHA from insuring mortgages in condominium

[[Page 38217]]

projects that are comprised of manufactured housing.
    Because the condominium mortgage insurance regulations provide that 
manufactured home condominiums are not acceptable to HUD, these units 
are not eligible security under the HECM regulations. Section 206.51 of 
24 CFR incorporates HUD's condominium approval requirements, including 
the exclusion of condominium manufactured homes as eligible HECM 
security.
    Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing, 
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: March 23, 2006.
    Reason Waived: Waiving the exclusionary provision of 24 CFR 
234.1(a) pertaining to manufactured housing (i.e., the reference to 24 
CFR 203.43f), as a condition of acceptability for HECM mortgage 
insurance under 24 CFR 206.51, is necessary in order to enable the 
eligible residents of the Lake Padden Estates Condominium who are 62 
years of age or older to realize the equity in their homes using the 
HECM program as a part of their financial planning.
    Contact: Peter Gillispie, Valuation Policy Division, Department of 
Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 9270, 
Washington, DC 20410; telephone (202) 708-2121.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 236.725.
    Project/Activity: Minneapolis, Minnesota (2100 Bloomington Court 
Apartments--092-007NI). The Minneapolis Multifamily Hub has requested 
waiver of the regulation to permit the continuation of rental 
assistance payments (RAP) after the payoff of the non-insured Section 
236 mortgage (section 236 of the National Housing Act) under a Section 
236(e)(2) decoupling transaction to permit a potential annual 
distribution based on current equity.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD regulations at 24 CFR 236.725 require 
that the rental assistance contract shall be limited to the term of the 
mortgage or 40 years from the date of the first payment made under the 
contract, whichever is the lesser.
    Granted By: Frank L. Davis, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Housing--Deputy Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: January 4, 2006.
    Reason Waived: This waiver was granted on the fact that the 
decoupling proposal did not request an increase in the Section 236 
units, hence the RAP subsidy is not being increased based on this 
transaction. The RAP increases shall be based on budget driven project 
operating cost increases that will not include any new debt service 
costs attributable to the decoupling transaction. Further, this waiver 
is predicated on the project owner entering into a Decoupling Use 
Restriction Agreement prescribed in the Section 236(e)(2) Decoupling 
program. There was good cause to waive the requirement because the 
project is to be maintained as an affordable housing resource to the 
maturity date of the non-insured Section 236 mortgage plus an 
additional 5 years, through the execution and recording of a Decoupling 
Use Agreement.
    Contact: Beverly J. Miller, Director, Office of Asset Management, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., 
Room 6160, Washington, DC 20410; telephone (202) 708-3730.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 401.461.
    Project/Activity: The following project requested a waiver to the 
simple interest requirement on the second mortgage to allow compound 
interest at the applicable federal rate. (24 CFR 401.461):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
         FHA No.                    Project                 State
------------------------------------------------------------------------
10535067.................  St. Benedict's Manor II.  UT
04335176.................  Hillside Apartments.....  OH
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nature of Requirement: Section 401.461 requires that the second 
mortgages have an interest rate not more than the applicable federal 
rate. Section 401.461(b)(1) states that interest will accrue but not 
compound. The intent of simple interest instead of compound interest is 
to limit the size of the second mortgage accruals to increase the 
likelihood of long-term financial and physical integrity.
    Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: March 6, 2006.
    Reason Waived: This regulatory restriction would be construed as a 
form of federal subsidy, thereby creating a loss of tax credit equity. 
This loss will adversely affect the ability to close the Restructuring 
Plan and could cause the loss or deterioration of these affordable 
housing projects. Therefore, compound interest is necessary for the 
owner to obtain Low Income Housing Tax Credits under favorable terms 
and in order to maximize the savings to the Federal Government.
    Contact: Dennis Manning, Office of Affordable Housing Preservation, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20410-8000, telephone (202) 708-0614, ext. 8381.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 401.600.
    Project/Activity: The following projects requested waivers to the 
12-month limit at above-market rents (24 CFR 401.600):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
         FHA No.                    Project                 State
------------------------------------------------------------------------
06444093.................  Haydel Heights            LA
                            Apartments.
03535086.................  New Sharon Woods........  NJ
11235117.................  Roxton Arms Apartments..  TX
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c).
    Project/Activity: Lewisburg, Ohio (Cherry Arbors `` Project Number 
043-EH010). The Ohio Multifamily Hub requested a waiver of the age 
requirements for the project to alleviate the project's current 
occupancy problems.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 requires admission of 
families to projects for the elderly or handicapped that receive 
reservations under Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 and housing 
assistance under section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Section 
891.410(c) limits occupancy to very low-income (VLI) elderly persons 
(i.e., households composed of one or more persons at least one of whom 
is 62 years of age at the time of initial occupancy).
    Granted By: Frank L. Davis, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Housing `` Deputy Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: March 23, 2006.
    Reason Waived: This waiver was granted to allow the project owner 
flexibility in renting up vacant units to individuals who meet the 
definition of non elderly (between the ages of 55 and 62 years). The 
owner aggressively marketed the property but due to the soft housing 
market and the surplus of elderly housing in the surrounding area, the 
property has experienced severe vacancy problems. These efforts allowed 
the owner to maintain the necessary income to operate the property and 
prevent foreclosure.

    Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 requires admission of 
families to projects for the elderly or handicapped that receive 
reservations under Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 and housing 
assistance under section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Section 
891.410(c) limits occupancy to very low-income (VLI) elderly persons 
(i.e., households composed of one or more persons at least one of whom 
is 62 years of age at the time of initial occupancy).
    Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: March 20, 2006.
    Reason Waived: This waiver was granted an age waiver and income 
waiver for this project to allow flexibility in renting up this Section 
202/8 Supportive Housing for the Elderly project, with a project rental 
assistance contract (PRAC). The property's location is remote and 
perceived as being in a high crime area, discouraging many applicants 
from considering residency there. The waiver allowed the property to 
admit only lower-income applicants where there are no very low-income 
applicants to fill vacancies and help cure the cash flow problems the 
project has been experiencing.

occupancy to very low-income (VLI) elderly persons (i.e., households 
composed of one or more persons at least one of whom is 62 years of age 
at the time of initial occupancy).
    Granted By: Frank L. Davis, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Housing--Deputy Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: January 10, 2006.
    Reason Waived: This waiver was granted for the very low-income 
requirement for this Section 202/8 Supportive Housing for the Elderly 
Program project, in order to permit admission of lower-income elderly 
applicants when there are no very-low-income elderly applicants to fill 
vacant units. The property is located in a rural area making it 
difficult to attract and maintain very low-income elderly applicants. 
Despite aggressive marketing efforts, the property currently has 24 
vacant units. Their waiting list consists of lower-income elderly 
applicants. Waiver of this regulation allowed the property to operate 
successfully and achieve full occupancy.

    Granted By: Frank L. Davis, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Housing--Deputy Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: January 6, 2006.
    Reason Waived: This waiver was granted for the age requirement to 
alleviate the current occupancy problem. Due to the rural location 
within the municipality of Barranquitas, the owner has been unable to 
attract and maintain very low-income elderly tenants. The local housing 
market indicates there is not a sufficient demand for the very low-
income elderly. The property currently has 8 vacant units and the 
waiting list consists of only one very low-income elderly applicant and 
11 lower-income elderly applicants. Waiver of the regulation allowed 
the project to operate successfully and achieve full occupancy.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c).
    Project/Activity: Ciales, Puerto Rico (Ovidio Lamoso Coira--Project 
Number 056-EE007). The Atlanta Multifamily Hub requested waiver of the 
age and income restriction for the subject Section 202/8 Supportive 
Housing for the Elderly project with a Project Rental Assistance 
Contract (PRAC).
    Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 requires admission of 
families to projects for the elderly or handicapped that receive 
reservations under Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 and housing 
assistance under section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Section 
891.410(c) limits occupancy to very low-income (VLI) elderly persons 
(i.e., households composed of one or more persons at least one of whom 
is 62 years of age at the time of initial occupancy).
    Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: January 4, 2006.
    Reason Waived: This waiver was granted for the age/income 
restriction because the project has experienced occupancy problems due 
to its remote location and difficulty in attracting and maintaining 
very low-income elderly tenants. The owner/management agent continues 
to aggressively market the property with the local housing authorities 
and various religious, social and community organizations within the 
municipality, neighboring municipalities and the mainland. The property 
currently has 16 vacant units with no waiting list. Waiver of the 
regulation allowed the project to operate successfully and achieve full 
occupancy.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c).
    Project/Activity: Carlisle, Kentucky (Shepherd Place Apartments--
Project Number 083-EH268). The Atlanta Multifamily Hub requested waiver 
of the very low-income limit and reduction of the age limit for the 
subject project due to severe vacancy problems.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 requires admission of 
families to projects for the elderly or handicapped that receive 
reservations under Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 and housing 
assistance under section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Section 
891.410(c) limits occupancy to very low-income (VLI) elderly persons 
(i.e., households composed of one or more persons at least one of whom 
is 62 years of age at the time of initial occupancy).
    Granted By: Frank L. Davis, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Housing-Deputy Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: February 9, 2006.
    Reason Waived: This waiver was granted to allow the property to 
rent up vacant units and achieve full occupancy. The property is 
located in rural Nicholas County, which consists of farmland and has 7 
vacant units and no waiting list. Providing this waiver allowed the 
owner/management agent to stabilize the project's current financial 
status and prevent foreclosure.

    Project/Activity: Lewisburg, Ohio (Cherry Arbors-- Project Number 
043-EH010). The Ohio Multifamily Hub requested a waiver of the age 
requirements for the project to alleviate the project's current 
occupancy problems.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 requires admission of 
families to projects for the elderly or handicapped that receive 
reservations under Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 and housing 
assistance under section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Section

(i.e., households composed of one or more persons at least one of whom 
is 62 years of age at the time of initial occupancy).
    Granted By: Frank L. Davis, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Housing--Deputy Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: March 23, 2006.
    Reason Waived: This waiver was granted to allow the project owner 
flexibility in renting up vacant units to individuals who meet the 
definition of

[[Page 38229]]

non elderly (between the ages of 55 and 62 years). The owner 
aggressively marketed the property but due to the soft housing market 
and the surplus of elderly housing in the surrounding area, the 
property has experienced severe vacancy problems. These efforts allowed 
the owner to maintain the necessary income to operate the property and 
prevent foreclosure.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c).
    Project/Activity: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Sylvania Place `` 
Project Number 033-EE074). The Pittsburgh Multifamily Program Center 
requested a waiver of the very low-income requirement for the property 
to alleviate the current occupancy problem.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 891.410 requires admission of 
families to projects for the elderly or handicapped that receive 
reservations under Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 and housing 
assistance under section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Section 
891.410(c) limits occupancy to very low-income (VLI) elderly persons 
(i.e., households composed of one or more persons at least one of whom

    Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: March 20, 2006.
    Reason Waived: This waiver was granted to allow an age and income 
waiver for this project to allow flexibility in renting up this Section 
202/8 Supportive Housing for the Elderly project, with a Project Rental 
Assistance Contract (PRAC). The property's location is remote and 
perceived as being in a high crime area, discouraging many applicants 
from considering residency there. This waiver allowed the property to 
admit only lower-income applicants where there are no very low-income 
applicants to fill vacancies and help cure the cash flow problems the 
project has been experiencing.

     Regulation: 24 CFR Part 5.
    Project/Activity: Covington Housing Authority (LA238), Covington, 
LA.

compliance dates. The audited financial statements are required to be

the Financial Assessment Subsystem (FASS) were waived for FYE March 31, 
2005 because the circumstances surrounding the waiver request were 
unusual and beyond the HA's control.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 902.20.
    Project/Activity: Fort Walton Beach Housing Authority (FL069), Fort 
Walton Beach, FL.
    Nature of Requirement: The objective of this regulation is to 
determine whether a housing authority (HA) is meeting the standard of 
decent, safe, sanitary, and in good repair. The Real Estate Assessment 
Center (REAC) provides for an independent physical inspection of a HA's 
property of properties that includes a statistically valid sample of 
the units.
    Granted By: Orlando J. Cabrera, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: January 30, 2006.
    Reason Waived: Four hurricanes caused extensive damage to HA's 
properties in 2004. The HA requested a waiver from physical inspections 
because it still has 33 units remaining to be repaired as a result of 
the hurricanes. Initially, a lack of funds caused a delay in completing 
the necessary renovations. Additionally, the aftermath of Hurricane 
Katrina has slowed the available manpower, supplies and materials 
needed to complete the work. The HA requested and received approval 
waiving physical inspections for fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. It 
was determined that no physical inspections will be conducted for 
fiscal year 2006, but will resume for the FYE June 30, 2007, assessment 
cycle.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 902.30.
    Project/Activity: Archer City Housing Authority (TX094), Archer 
City, TX.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting 
compliance dates. The audited financial statements are required to be 
submitted no later than nine months after the housing authority's (HA) 
fiscal year end (FYE), in accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133.
    Granted By: Orlando J. Cabrera, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: February 10, 2006.
    Reason Waived: The HA requested a waiver of the audited financial 
submission due date of December 31, 2005, for FYE March 31, 2005 
because it received less than $500,000 in federal grants. As such, the 
HA requested a change to its submission type to ``No Audit Required.'' 
The HA should have requested a change prior to the submission due date 
to avoid receiving a Late Presumptive Failure (LPF) score of zero under 
the Financial Assessment Subsystem (FASS) Indicator. Because the HA was 
not required to have an audit because it was under the threshold of 
$500,000, the HA will not be penalized with a financial score of zero. 
The waiver allowed the HA to change its submission type to ``Unaudited/
No Audit.''

     Regulation: 24 CFR 902.30.
    Project/Activity: City of Newark Housing Authority (NJ002), Newark, 
NJ.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting 
compliance dates. The audited financial statements are required to be 
submitted no later than nine months after the housing authority's (HA) 
fiscal year end (FYE), in accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133.
    Granted By: Orlando J. Cabrera, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: February 24, 2006.
    Reason Waived: The HA requested a six-month waiver extension of the 
audited financial submission due date of December 31, 2005, for FYE 
March 31, 2005. The reason for the waiver request is because the audit 
report submitted for FYE March 31, 2004, was not in accordance with 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as verified by a Public 
Housing Assessment System (PHAS) Certification review. The HA was 
advised to select a new firm to re-perform the audit. This action 
directly impacted on the submission of the unaudited financial 
submission for FY 2005. The six-month extension to June 30, 2006 was 
approved with the condition that the HA must have both an approved 
audit submission for FY 2004, and an approved unaudited submission for 
FY 2005 when the FY 2005 audit is submitted to the Real Estate 
Assessment Center.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 902.20.
    Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the City of New Orleans 
(LA001), New Orleans, LA.
    Nature of Requirement: The objective of this regulation is to 
determine whether a housing authority (HA) is meeting the standard of 
decent, safe, sanitary, and in good repair. The Real Estate Assessment 
Center (REAC) provides for an independent physical inspection of a HA's 
property of properties that includes a statistically valid sample of 
the units.
    Granted By: Orlando J. Cabrera, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: March 8, 2006.
    Reason Waived: The HA requested and was granted a waiver from 
having to correct identified Exigent Health and Safety (EHS) 
deficiencies in unoccupied units and properties. The HA asserted that 
due to Hurricane Katrina, it did not have the resources to correct the 
EHS deficiencies in occupied and in unoccupied units that may or may 
not be demolished. The correction of EHS deficiencies in unoccupied 
units and properties was therefore waived. However, because of the 
life-threatening nature and hazardous situations caused by the EHS 
deficiencies, those deficiencies in occupied units were directed to be 
corrected or mitigated within 24 hours of the inspection, and the HA 
must certify to the correction or mitigation of the EHS deficiencies 
within three business days of the inspection. The HA also was required 
to correct the EHS deficiencies in occupied units and properties during 
the time of the commencement of the work in order to bring the units 
and properties back on line and available for occupancy.

    Project/Activity: Chicago Housing Authority's Stateway Gardens 
Phase 1 B aka Park Boulevard 1B, Chicago, IL.
    Nature of Requirement: The provision requires that if the partner 
and/or owner entity (or any other entity with an identity of interest 
with such parties) wants to serve as a general contractor for the 
project or development, it 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: Orlando J. Cabrera, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: January 11, 2006.
    Reason Waived: The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) and Daniel E. 
Levin and the Habitat Company LLC, jointly as Receiver for the CHA, 
procured Stateway Associates LLC as the master developer for the 
Stateway Gardens site. Stateway Associates is a joint venture between 
affiliates of Mesa Development LLC, Neighborhood Rejuvenation Partners 
LP, Kimball Hill Development Company, and Walsh Construction Company of 
Illinois. CHA requested the waiver to use Walsh Construction Company as 
the general contractor for Phase 1B. Park Boulevard Phase 1B consists 
of 311 units, of which 100 will be public housing replacement units and 
211 will be for-sale units. CHA and the Receiver have entered into 
three separate construction contracts with Walsh Construction for 
residential construction, site work and environmental remediation. Rise 
Group and Weston Solutions, Inc provided independent cost estimates, 
reviewed the plans and construction costs and certified that the costs 
for the three contracts are reasonable for the market area. The total 
of the three estimates is $71,617,363 and the total of the three Walsh 
contracts is $71,151,616, which is $465,747 less than the estimates. As 
Walsh Construction Company's cost was below that of the independent 
cost estimates, HUD's condition was satisfied.

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: Orlando J. Cabrera, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: January 24, 2006.
    Reason Waived: The Charlotte Housing Authority (CHA) requested the 
waiver to use Wood Partners as the general contractor for Prosperity 
Creek, which is a phase of the Fairview Homes HOPE VI Project. The 
Housing Authority has partnered with Wood Partners, the owner of the 
Prosperity Creek site to include 24 public housing units in the new 
development. CHA submitted an independent cost estimate prepared by 
Construction Cost, Inc. for the work to be performed by Wood Partners 
at Prosperity Creek and the estimate totaled $12, 350,762. CHA also 
submitted the proposed construction contract with Wood Partners, which 
totaled $12,041,500 for the work included in the cost estimate. As Wood

[[Page 38233]]

Partners' cost was below that of the independent cost estimate, HUD's 
condition was satisfied.

    Granted By: Orlando J. Cabrera, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: March 7, 2006.
    Reason Waived: The Charlotte Housing Authority (CHA) requested the 
waiver to use Crosland Contracting as the general contractor for 
Montgomery Gardens, which is a phase of the Fairview Homes HOPE VI 
Project. Crosland Contracting is an affiliate of Crosland, Inc., the 
master developer for the Fairview Homes HOPE VI site. Crosland Inc. 
will be developing a 76-unit affordable housing development, of which 
20 will be public housing units. CHA submitted an independent cost 
estimate prepared by Construction Cost, Inc. for the work to be 
performed and the estimate totaled $6,304,013. CHA also submitted the 
proposed construction contract with Crosland Contracting, which totaled 
$6,159,582 for construction of Montgomery Gardens. As Crosland 
Contracting's cost was below that of the independent cost estimate, 
HUD's condition was satisfied.

Authority's Disposition of 0.18 Acre of Vacant Land at Orness Plaza and 
Scattered Family Site, MN063001, PIC Application DDA0001765.
    Nature of Requirement: Under section 18 (a)(5) of the Housing Act 
of 1937, the Secretary may waive the requirement for the application of 
proceeds of sale for the repayment of outstanding debt used to finance 
the development and/or modernization of the development. The proceeds 
must be used for the provision of low-income housing or to benefit the 
residents of the public housing agency (PHA), or for leveraging amounts 
for securing commercial enterprises, on-site, in public housing 
projects of the PHA, that are appropriate to serve the needs of the 
residents.
    Granted By: Orlando J. Cabrera, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: March 16, 2006.
    Reason Waived: Mankato EDA Housing Authority proposes the 
disposition of 0.18 of an acre of vacant land at Orness Plaza and 
Scattered Site, MN063001. The Chief Financial Office record indicates 
that the development's outstanding debt is $88,252.27. The development 
was financed by HUD held project notes and the issue of new housing 
authority bonds. The HUD held project notes has been forgiven. The 
bonds are dated February 1, 1971 and mature February 1, 2012. The 
original issue was $2,405,675 at a rate of five percent. The Special 
Applications Center (SAC) recommended that the requirement to repay the 
debt for the development be waived. The Department waived the 
requirement for the repayment of debt with any proceeds that are 
generated from this sale, with the understanding that net proceeds will 
be used in accordance with the statute.

    Nature of Requirement: Under Section 18 (a)(5) of the U.S. Housing 
Act of 1937, the Secretary may waive the requirement for the 
application of proceeds of sale for the repayment of outstanding debt 
used to finance the development and/or modernization of the

    Date Granted: March 16, 2006
    Reason Waived: The Dayton Metropolitan Housing Authority (DMHA) 
proposes disposition of two buildings containing 12 units at Scattered 
Sites, OH0055013. According to the Office of Finance and Accounting, 
the development's outstanding debt is $1,128,563. The DMHA proposes to 
dispose of this site at fair market value via public bid for $144,000. 
In the application, the DMHA proposes to use the proceeds of sale from 
Scattered Sites, OH005013, towards modernization of Scattered Sites 
(Woodview), OH005015. The SAC has determined that the use of proceeds 
meets the requirements of the statute and the disposition application 
is approvable. The Department waives for good cause, pursuant to 24 
CFR, Section 5.1000, the requirement for the repayment of debt with any 
proceeds that are generated from this sale, with the understanding that 
net proceeds will be used in accordance with the statute.

    Reason Waived: The Biloxi Housing Authority (BHA) proposes the 
disposition of 6.5 acres of vacant land at the fair market value of 
$3,500,000 via a public bid. The BHA proposes to use the proceeds of 
sale for the acquisition of land, in a less flood-prone area in Biloxi,

destroyed as a result of Hurricane Katrina. According to the Office of 
Finance and Accounting, the development's outstanding debt is 
$934,003.27 for project MS005008-2. The SAC recommended that the

    Project/Activity: Warwick Housing Authority's Disposition of 2 
Buildings, Housing 26 Units at Father Olsen Terrace, RI011007.
    Nature of Requirement: Under Section 18 (a)(5) of U.S. Housing Act 
of 1937, the Secretary may waive the requirement for the application of 
proceeds of sale for the repayment of outstanding debt used to finance 
the development and/or modernization of the development. The proceeds

projects of the PHA, that are appropriate to serve the needs of the 
residents.
    Granted By: Orlando J. Cabrera, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: March 29, 2006.
    Reason Waived: The Warwick Housing Authority (WHA) proposes the 
disposition of two residential buildings housing 26 units at Father 
Olsen Terrace, RI0011007 to the New England School of Technology 
(NEST), via a negotiated sale, at the Fair Market Value of $1,510,000. 
WHA plans on using the proceeds generate from this disposition to 
construct new housing units for low-income housing families in the 
community. According to the Chief Financial Office, the development's 
outstanding debt is $315,415.90 for project notes to the Federal 
Financing Bank. The note is dated October 8, 1982, and will mature 
November 1, 2014. The original issue was for $576,718.45 at a rate of 
6.600 percent. The SAC recommended that the requirement to repay the

     Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(c)(4).
    Project/Activity: Wayne Metropolitan Housing Authority (WMHA), 
Wooster, OH. WMHA requested a waiver of this regulation so that it 
could apply increased payment standards immediately rather than wait 
for the family's next regular annual reexamination.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 982.505(c)(4) provides that if the 
payment standard amount is increased during the term of the housing 
assistance payments (HAP) contract, the increased payment standard 
amount shall be used to calculate the monthly HAP for the family 
beginning at the effective date of the family's first regular 
reexamination on or after the effective date of the increase in the 
payment standard amount.
    Granted By: Orlando Cabrera, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: February 10, 2006.
    Reason Waived: Since the WMHA's HAP costs stabilized, it intended 
to increase its payment standards to 100 percent of the current 
published fair market rents for all bedroom sizes. A waiver quickly 
alleviated the rent burden on families that were affected by paying a 
greater share toward their gross rent.

(AHAP).
    Granted By: Orlando Cabrera, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: January 4, 2006.
    Reason Waived: The waiver was granted because the HAA subsequently 
submitted this project to HUD Headquarters for the appropriate subsidy 
layering review on October 11, 2005, and the AHAP was executed in good 
faith pursuant to a subsidy layering review, albeit one that was not 
originally conducted by the proper entity.

    Project/Activity: The Gila River Indian Community's (the Tribe) 
units built with funding provided under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 
(1937 Act). The Tribe is located in Sacaton, Arizona.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 1000.312 requires 
that only units owned or operated pursuant to an Annual Contributions 
Contract (ACC) may be included as Formula Current Assisted Stock 
(FCAS).
    Granted By: Orlando Cabrera, Assistant Secretary for Public and 
Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: March 8, 2006.
    Reason Waived: Ten units built in 1986 with 1937 Act funding are 
uninhabitable due to extreme foundation problems and will need to be 
demolished and rebuilt. The Tribe and a structural engineering 
consulting firm determined that the deficiencies are extreme and pose a 
serious threat to the health and safety of the residents. The Tribe is 
seeking continued FCAS funding for seven of the affected units that 
have current homebuyer agreements. The units will be rebuilt with 
Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) funds and will remain under 
management of the housing authority.
