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, 2022 and ending on March 31, 2022.

General Counsel for Legislation and Regulations, Department of Housing 
and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 10276, 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 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 2022.

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, 2022 through March 31, 2022. 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 2022) before the next report is published (the second quarter of 
calendar year 2022), 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.

Damon Smith,
General Counsel.

Department of Housing and Urban Development January 1, 2022 Through 
March 31, 2022

    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

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 91.105(e)(1) and (2), 24 CFR 
91.115(b)(3)(i), 24 CFR 91.401, and 24 CFR 570.431, 570.441, and 
570.486(a)(5).
    Project/Activity: Any HUD Community Planning and Development 
(CPD) grantee in the preparation of their FY 2022 Consolidated Plan 
or Annual Action Plan and FY 2022 Plan substantial amendments.
    Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 91.105(e)(1) and (2), 24 CFR 
91.115(b)(3)(i), 24 CFR 91.401, and 24 CFR 570.431, 570.441, and 
570.486(a)(5) set forth requirements for a grantee's citizen 
participation plan in the development of the consolidated plan. 
These requirements include the minimum number of hearings, the 
methods of holding hearings, requirements on providing adequate 
notice for hearings, and requirements on obtaining informed comment.
    Date Granted: March 3, 2022.
    Reason Waived: HUD recognizes that efforts to contain COVID-19 
require limiting in person public gatherings, such as those often 
used to obtain citizen views and respond to proposals and questions. 
Therefore, HUD waives the regulation to the extent necessary to 
permit the following: For as long as national or local health 
authorities recommend social distancing and limiting public 
gatherings for public health reasons, CDBG, ESG, HOME, HTF, and 
HOPWA grantees, units of general local government receiving grant 
funds from a State, and insular area grantees, may hold virtual 
public hearings in lieu of in-person public hearings to fulfill 
public hearing requirements imposed by 42 U.S.C. 12707(a)(3) and the 
regulations at 24 CFR part 91 and 24 CFR part 570, or by the 
grantee's citizen participation plan for the preparation of FY2022 
Consolidated Plans, Action Plans and any substantial amendments 
thereto or to prior year plans.
    Contact: James E. Hoemann, Director, Entitlement Communities 
Division, Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing 
and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7282, Washington, 
DC 20410, telephone (202) 402-5716.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 92.212(b) (HOME participating 
jurisdictions) and 24 CFR 570.200(h) (Entitlement CDBG program, the 
Insular Areas CDBG program, and for grants to non-entitlement 
counties in Hawaii)
    Project/Activity: HUD Community Planning and Development (CPD) 
grantees in the CDBG and HOME programs.
    Nature of Requirement: Under 24 CFR 92.212(b) (HOME) and 24 CFR 
570.200(h),

[[Page 60189]]

the effective date of the grant agreement is the program year start 
date or the date that the consolidated plan is received by HUD, 
whichever is later. These dates determine when a grantee may incur 
pre-award costs. For HOME, eligible administrative and planning 
costs may be incurred as of the beginning of the program year or the 
date the consolidated plan describing the HOME allocation to which 
the costs will be charged is received by HUD, whichever is later.
    Granted By: James Arthur Jemison II, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: March 23, 2022.
    Reason Waived: This waiver will allow a grantee or participating 
jurisdiction to treat the effective date of the grant agreement as 
the program year start date or the date that the consolidated plan/
action plan (with actual allocation amounts) is received by HUD, 
whichever is earlier. HUD waives 24 CFR 92.212(b) to the extent 
necessary to permit eligible pre-award costs to be incurred as of 
the beginning of the program year or the date the consolidated plan 
describing the HOME allocation to which the costs will be charged is 
received by HUD, whichever is earlier. HUD recognizes that some 
activities may be interrupted, and grantees might not otherwise be 
able to use CDBG and HOME funds for ongoing planning and 
administrative costs without this waiver. This waiver is in effect 
until August 16, 2022, and was transmitted with the Notice CPD-22-05 
``Guidance on Submitting Consolidated Plans and Annual Action Plans 
for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022.''

Housing Programs, Office of Community Planning and Development,

Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7282, Washington, DC 20410, 
telephone (202) 402-5716.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 92.214(a)(6).
    Project/Activity: The City of Newton, Massachusetts, the lead 
entity of the WestMetro HOME Consortium requested a waiver of 24 CFR 
92.214(a)(6) to allow the participating jurisdiction to invest 
additional HOME funds in a previously assisted HOME project, St. 
Joseph Hall.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 92.214(a)(6) 
prohibits a participating jurisdiction from investing additional 
HOME funds in a previously assisted HOME project during its required 
affordability period.
    Granted By: James Arthur Jemison II, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: February 1, 2022.
    Reason Waived: The original rehabilitation did not include 
replacement of the elevator because the architect and general 
contractor determined that it could remain operable with managed 
investment over time. In 2017, the elevator manufacturer recommended 
an overhaul of the elevator's system, however the LIHTC investor did 
not approve funds for the work. In August 2019, the elevator became 
inoperable and the owner had to relocate a majority of the elderly 
tenants for approximately 14 days while the elevator underwent 
repairs. These emergency repairs cost $71,252, which was 
approximately 20 percent of the project's total reserves. The CHDO 
determined that it must replace the elevator to avoid additional 
costly emergency repairs. The Department recognizes that without an 
additional investment of HOME funds, the property will not be able 
to meet ongoing property standards, be at risk of financial 
hardship, and the wellbeing of the elderly tenants would be 
significantly impacted.
    Contact: Virginia Sardone, Director, Office of Affordable 
Housing Programs, Office of Community Planning and Development, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, 
Room 7160, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-2684.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 92.252(d)(1) Utility Allowance 
Requirements.
    Project/Activity: San Mateo County, California requested a 
waiver of 24 CFR 92.252(d)(1) to allow use of the utility allowance 
established by the local public housing agency (PHA) for the Colma 
Veterans Village HOME-assisted project.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 92.252(d)(1) 
requires participating jurisdictions to establish maximum monthly 
allowances for utilities and services (excluding telephone) and 
update the allowances annually. However, participating jurisdictions 
are not permitted to use the utility allowance established by the 
local public housing authority for HOME-assisted rental projects for 
which HOME funds were committed on or after August 23, 2013.
    Granted By: James Arthur Jemison II, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: February 1, 2022.
    Reason Waived: The HOME requirements for establishing a utility 
allowances conflict with Project Based Voucher program requirements. 
It is not possible to use two different utility allowances to set 
the rent for a single unit and it is administratively burdensome to 
require a project owner establish and implement different utility 
allowances for HOME-assisted units and non-HOME assisted units in a 
project.
    Contact: Virginia Sardone, Director, Office of Affordable 
Housing Programs, Office of Community Planning and Development, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, 
Room 7160, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-2684.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 570.705(f): Loan Requirements, Loan 
Repayment Period.
    Project/Activity: Bucks County of Pennsylvania requested a 
waiver of the regulations governing loan guarantees under Section 
108 of the Housing and Community Development Act, as amended, to 
extend the maximum term of the guaranteed loan. The maximum loan 
repayment period at 24 CFR 570.705 (f) is twenty years. The initial 
maturity of the guaranteed loan was August 1, 2022, which would have 
resulted in a repayment period of nineteen years and two months. The 
waiver permitted the extension of the maturity to August 1, 2023 and 
resulted in a loan term of 20 years and two months. The project 
financed by the guaranteed loan entails the acquisition of real 
property and infrastructure construction for a mixed-use economic 
development project.
    Nature of Requirement: The term of debt obligations under 24 CFR 
Subpart M-Loan Guarantees shall not exceed twenty years.
    Granted by: James Arthur Jemison II, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: January 11, 2022.
    Reason Waived: The need for an extended timeline resulted from 
additional, unexpected remediation activities and COVID-19 delays. 
The financial consequence of the COVID-19 crisis was substantial in 
that it delayed the completion and sale of property assisted under 
the project by an additional year.
    The revenue generated from the sale of the property is the 
intended source of repayment of the guaranteed loan. Extending the 
maximum term will therefore enhance both the financial feasibility 
of the assisted project and the security for repayment of the 
guaranteed loan.

Division, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department 
of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7282, 
Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 402-4563.

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 206.304(b)(2).
    Project/Activity: The requirement for a Home Equity Conversion 
Mortgage (HECM) counselor to have passed an exam within the prior 3 
years to remain on the HECM Counselor Roster and of HUD Housing 
Counseling Handbook 7610.1 REV-5. Chapter 4, Reverse Mortgage 
Housing Counseling, paragraph 4-2.
    Nature of Requirement: This temporary waiver is being issued to 
ensure that HUD's HECM Roster pool remains at or near the current 
level of approximately 450 approved and HUD-certified HECM Roster 
counselors.
    Granted by: Lopa P. Kolluri, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: January 10, 2022.
    Reason Waived: Absent this waiver, clients who are age 62 or 
older and seeking an HECM are at risk of significant delays in 
scheduling and completing the mandated counseling session before 
loan application can proceed. The granting of the temporary waiver 
is consistent with the Department's objectives to assist consumers 
age 62 or older, who are considering applying for a HECM mortgage, 
to schedule the counseling required for this FHA-insured loan 
product in a timely manner; this temporary waiver will assist in 
maintaining a large pool of qualified HECM roster counselors for

[[Page 60190]]

consumers selecting and scheduling their counseling.
    Contact: Brian Siebenlist, Director, Housing Counseling, Office 
of Policy and Grant Administration, Office of Housing, Department of 
Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 9224, 
Washington, DC 20024, telephone (202) 402-5145.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 214.300(a)(3).
    Project/Activity: HUD's In-Person Service Housing Counseling 
Program.
    Nature of Requirement: Pursuant to 24 CFR 214.300(a)(3), 
``[c]ounseling may take place in the office of the housing 
counseling agency, at an alternate location, or by telephone, as 
long as mutually acceptable to the housing counselor and client. All 
agencies participating in HUD's Housing Counseling program that 
provide services directly to clients must provide in-person 
counseling to clients that prefer this format.''
    According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as of 
December 20, 2021, Omicron has been detected in most states and 
territories and is resulting in a rapid increase in COVID-19 cases. 
In addition, the CDC and World Health Organization has asserted that 
the Omicron variant likely will spread more easily than the original 
SARS-CoV-2 virus. The CDC expects that anyone with Omicron infection 
can spread the virus to others, even if they are vaccinated or do 
not have symptoms.
    HUD recognizes that there continues to be a demand for housing 
counseling services by clients facing financial hardship due to the 
spread of the COVID-19 virus.
    Granted by: Lopa P. Kolluri, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner
    Date Granted: February 7, 2022.
    Reason Waived: This partial waiver allows participating agencies 
to provide continuous services in a format other than in-person 
without violating the requirements of 24 CFR 214.300(a)(3).
    Contact: Brian Siebenlist, Director, Housing Counseling, Office 
of Policy and Grant Administration, Office of Housing, Department of 
Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 9224, 
Washington, DC 20024, telephone (202) 402-5145.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b).
    Project/Activity: In-Chu-Co Apartments, FHA Project Number 053-
44032T, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Inter-Church Council Housing 
Corporation (Owner) seeks approval to defer repayment of the 
Flexible Subsidy Operating Assistance Loan on the subject project.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 219.220(b) 
(1995), which governs the repayment of operating assistance provided 
under the Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled Properties, states 
``Assistance that has been paid to a project owner under this 
subpart must be repaid at the earlier of the expiration of the term 
of the mortgage, termination of mortgage insurance, prepayment of 
the mortgage, or a sale of the project.''
    Granted by: Lopa P. Kolluri, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Housing-Deputy Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: February 5, 2022.
    Reason Waived: The owner requested and was granted waiver of the 
requirement to repay the Flexible Subsidy Operating Assistance Loans 
in full when they became due. Deferring the loan payments will 
preserve these affordable housing resources for an additional 35 
years through the execution and recordation of a Rental Use 
Agreement.
    Contact: Margaret Wingate, Acting Director, Field Asset 
Management Division, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 
451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20410, telephone: (202) 402-
2231.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b) (1995).
    Project/Activity: Weinberg Place, Baltimore, MD, FHA# 052-
SH009T.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 219.220(b) 
(1995), which governs the repayment of operating assistance provided 
under the Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled Projects, states 
``Assistance that has been paid to a project owner under this 
subpart must be repaid at the earlier of expiration of the term of 
the mortgage, termination of mortgage insurance, prepayment of the 
mortgage, or a sale of the project.'' The property is subject to a 
pre-1974 Section 202 direct loan which matured on September 1, 2021 
and was paid in full on September 18, 2021. The Project was awarded 
two Flexible Subsidy Operating Assistance Loans (Flex Sub Loan(s)) 
in the combined amount of $2,166,344.00 in 1991 and 2001 at 1 
percent interest per annum. The Flex Sub Loan Surplus Cash Note 
contains a provision requiring payment of the principal and the 
interest, in full, if the Section 202 direct mortgage loan matures 
or is paid in full, or upon the sale, foreclosure, refinancing, 
assignment or any other disposition of the project.
    Granted by: Lopa P. Kolluri, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing.
    Date Granted: February 5, 2022.
    Reason Waived: The proposed owner requested and was granted 
waiver of the requirement to repay the Flex Sub Loans in full when 
it became due. Deferring the loan payment will preserve the 
affordable housing resource for an additional 20 years through the 
execution and recordation of a Use Agreement. The proposed owner 
plans to pay off the entire Flex Sub Loans combined principal 
balance of $2,166,344.00. The Flex Sub Loan as of October 15, 2021, 
had accrued interest of approximately $518,928.30 based upon the 
current interest rate of 1 percent. Therefore, the owner's total 
outstanding obligation under this Flex Sub loan, as of October 15, 
2021, was $2,685,272.30. A new pay off request to include interest 
will be requested at least 30 days prior to closing.
    Until repayment, the balance of the Flex Sub Loans will be 
secured by a Surplus Cash Note. The current owner will allocate 75 
percent of surplus cash to pay down the Flex Sub Loans between now 
and closing on the LIHTC Transaction. The current owner will remain 
subject to the Surplus Cash Note and the 75 percent of surplus cash 
requirement even if the LIHTC transaction is not closed by March 31, 
2022.
    The Office of Recapitalization will require a 20-year Use 
Agreement as a condition of the Flexible Subsidy Loan Repayment 
Deferral. The Use Agreement will extend project affordability to 20 
years from the date of the original Section 202 mortgage maturity or 
the date of full repayment of the fully amortized Flexible Subsidy 
Loan, whichever is longer.

Recapitalization, Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC, 20410, Room

compliance with the PHA's informally adopted interim standard.
    Reason Waived: PHAs were granted the opportunity to apply for 
certain regulatory waivers that were originally offered as part of 
the CARES Act waivers in Notice PIH 2021-14 to provide continued 
flexibility during the pandemic and pandemic recovery. HUD 
expeditiously responded to these waiver requests in accordance with 
Section 106 of the Department and Urban Development Reform Act of
