DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
[Docket No. FR-4591-N-02]
Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the First Quarter of Calendar Year 2000

AGENCY:

Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION:

Public Notice of the Granting of Regulatory Waivers from April 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000.

SUMMARY:

Section 106 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (the “HUD Reform Act”), requires HUD to publish quarterly
Federal Register
notices of all regulatory waivers that HUD has approved. Each notice must cover the quarterly period since the most recent
Federal Register
notice. The purpose of this notice is to comply with the requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act. This notice contains a list of regulatory waivers granted by HUD during the quarter beginning on April 1, 2000 and ending on June 30, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

For general information about this notice, contact Camille E. Acevedo, Associate General Counsel for Legislation and Regulations, Room 10282, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; telephone (202) 708-3055 (this is not a toll-free number). Hearing or speech-impaired persons may access this number via TTY by calling the toll-free Federal Information Relay Service at 1-800-877-8391.

For information concerning a particular waiver action for which public notice is provided in this document, contact the person whose name and address follow the description of the waiver granted in the accompanying list of waiver-grant actions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

As part of the Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (the “HUD Reform Act”), the Congress adopted, at HUD's request, legislation to limit and control the granting of regulatory waivers by HUD. Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act added a new section 7(q) to the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act (2 U.S.C. 3535(q)), which provides that:

1. Any waiver of a regulation must be in writing and must specify the grounds for approving the waiver;

2. Authority to approve a waiver of a regulation may be delegated by the Secretary only to an individual of Assistant Secretary rank 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;

e. State how additional information about a particular waiver grant action may be obtained.

Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act also contains requirements applicable to waivers of HUD handbook provisions that are not relevant to the purpose of this notice.

Today's document follows publication of HUD's Statement of Policy on Waiver of Regulations and Directives issued by HUD on April 22, 1991 (56 FR 16337). This notice covers HUD's waiver-grant activity from April 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000. Additionally, this notice contains five reports on regulatory waivers granted during 1999, which were inadvertently omitted in the 1999 reports. Two reports can be found in Section II of this notice with respect to waivers granted in connection with 24 CFR 50.17 and 1000.20(a). The third can be found in Section V with respect to a waiver granted in connection with 24 CFR 968.112, and the fourth and fifth also can be found in Section V with respect to a waiver granted in connection with 24 CFR 1000.156.

For ease of reference, the waivers granted by HUD are listed by HUD program office (for example, the Office of Community Planning and Development, the Office of Housing, the Office of Public and Indian Housing, etc.). Within each program office grouping, the waivers are listed sequentially by the section of title 24 being waived. For example, a waiver-grant action involving the waiver of a provision in 24 CFR part 58 would come before a waiver of a provision in 24 CFR part 570.

Where more than one regulatory provision is involved in the grant of a particular waiver request, the action is listed under the section number of the first regulatory requirement in title 24 that is being waived as part of the waiver-grant action. For example, a waiver of both § 58.73 and § 58.74 would appear sequentially in the listing under § 58.73.

Waiver-grant actions involving the same initial regulatory citation are in time sequence beginning with the earliest-dated waiver grant action.

Should HUD receive additional reports of waiver actions taken during the period covered by this report before the next report is published, the next updated report will include these earlier actions, as well as those that occurred between July 1, 2000 through September 30, 2000.

Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this notice.

Dated: October 25, 2000.
Andrew Cuomo,
Secretary,

•
Regulation:
24 CFR 58.34(b) and 24 CFR 58.38.

Project/Activity:
Rehabilitation of housing owned by the Sac & Fox of Oklahoma Tribe and Housing Authority using Comprehensive Grant Program funding.

Nature of Requirement:
Section 58.34(b) requires, when a grant recipient makes a determination that an activity or project is exempt from environmental review requirements, such determination must be documented in writing. Section 58.38 requires a recipient to maintain a written record of the environmental review undertaken for each activity or project.

Granted By:
Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted:
February 2, 2000.

Reason Waived:
The recipient failed to prepare a complete Environmental Review Record (ERR) as required under § 58.38 prior to obligating Federal grant funds to the activity. HUD reviewed the activities and determined they met the requirements for a determination of categorical exclusion under § 58.35(a)(3) and subsequent determination of exemption based on § 58.34(a)(12). HUD further determined that no environmental degradation resulted from the regulatory noncompliance and that no mitigation activities would have been necessary. A complete ERR has been prepared by the recipient. Based on the above, HUD determined that a waiver of the regulatory requirements would maintain the integrity of HUD's environmental review process and was consistent with Executive Order 12084 which encourages flexibility in the consideration of waiver requests from tribal governments.

•
Regulation:
24 CFR 58.40(f).

Project/Activity:
Rehabilitation of Cedarbrook multifamily housing. The City of Hanford, CA, requested a waiver of 24 CFR 58.40(f).

Nature of Requirement:
In preparing an environmental assessment, the responsible entity must complete all environmental review requirements necessary for the project's compliance with applicable authorities cited in 24 CFR 58.5 and 58.6, which include Federal historic preservation regulations in 36 CFR part 800. Completion of an environmental assessment is required before the responsible entity may request a release of funds and the Department may release funds for a covered project.

Granted By:
Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted:
June 14, 2000.

Reason Waived:
The community housing development organization (CHDO) finished its construction of the project before the responsible entity completed the historic preservation review that constitutes part of the environmental assessment. By so doing, the CHDO precluded subsequent full completion of the historic preservation review because, in the opinion of the State Historic Preservation Officer, any archeological resources were likely destroyed by the construction activities. However, evidence showed that there were no records of archeological resources on the site. The waiver was granted in order to provide funding to the completed project because this would produce results consistent with and further the purpose of the HOME Investment Partnership Act and would provide much needed housing to low and moderate income persons of the Hanford, California area.

•
Regulation:
24 CFR 91.520(a).

Project/Activity:
The State of Montana requested a two-month extension for submitting its Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).

Nature of Requirement:
HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 91.520 requires grantees to submit a CAPER within 90 calendar days after the close of the jurisdiction's program year.

Granted By:
Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted:
June 22, 2000.

Reasons Waived:
The State advised that key staff responsible for preparing the report are taking new positions and the new staff will need additional time to prepare the document to ensure a complete and accurate report.

Contact:
Cornelia Robertson-Terry, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7152, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-2565.

• Regulation:
24 CFR 92.201(a)(2).

Project/Activity:
San Mateo County Consortium requested a waiver to permit the County to assist those low-income residents of Daly City whose homes have been condemned as the result of unsafe conditions caused by the erosion of the properties. There are 22 properties involved.

Nature of Requirement:
HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 92.201(a)(2) requires participating jurisdiction may only invest its HOME funds in eligible projects within its boundaries or in joint projects within the boundaries of contiguous local jurisdictions which serve residents from both jurisdictions.

Granted By:
Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted:
May 4, 2000.

Reasons Waived:
San Mateo County Consortium provided justifications for its request. Because of the high cost of homes within San Mateo County (median price is currently $405,000) it would be impossible for low income residents, many of whom are senior citizens, to find replacement housing in the County.

Cornelia Robertson-Terry, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7152, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-2565.

• Regulation:
24 CFR 570.207(b)(3).

Project/Activity:
The Village of Greenport, NY requested a waiver of the provision which prohibits the construction of new housing.

Nature of Requirement:
The CDBG regulations at 24 CFR 570.207(b)(3) prohibits new housing construction activities, subject to the specific exceptions identified.

Granted By:
Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted:
April 4, 2000.

Reasons Waived:
Increasing the level of homeownership is a goal of HUD and the Administration, and assisting low and moderate income persons is the primary objective of the CDBG program. Failure to grant a waiver of this requirement would adversely affect the purposes of the Act.

Cornelia Robertson-Terry, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7152, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-2565.

• Regulation:
24 CFR 576.21(b)(2).

Project/Activity:
The State of New York requested a waiver of the thirty percent spending limitation on essential services.

Nature of Requirement:
HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 576.21(b)(2) imposes the statutory requirement that no more than thirty percent of the Emergency Shelter Grant funds be expended for essential services.

Granted By:
Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted:
April 7, 2000.

Nature of Requirement:
HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 574.540 requires that HOPWA funds be expended in a three year period. HUD may deobligate any amount of grant funds that have not been expended within a three-year period from the date of the signing of the grant agreement.

Granted By:
Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted:
June 9, 2000.

Reasons Waived:
This waiver of the time limits will assist the City in helping to qualify persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families for assistance in housing developments projects that use the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) in financing. HUD found that there is good cause for this waiver since this will secure housing for individuals and families with HIV/AIDS. The amount of funds under this waiver are limited to a portion of the City's annual Fiscal Year allocation, so that no more than twenty percent, up to a maximum of $250,000 in any one fiscal year allocation, is committed to a tax credit project for up to a fifteen year period, measured from the date of the grant agreement for that allocation.

II. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Community Planning and Development and the Office of Public and Indian Housing

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

•
Regulation:
24 CFR 50.17 and 1000.20(a).

Project/Activity:
The Lower Elwha Tribe and its Housing Authority, Port Angeles, WA, received a Traditional Indian Housing Development grant to construct 5 low rent homes.

Nature of Requirement:
HUD's regulation at § 50.17 requires an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact or an environmental impact statement be completed before the applicable decision points for projects not exempt or categorically excluded from environmental review requirements. HUD's regulation at § 1000.20(a) requires an environmental review be completed for any Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act project not excluded from review before a recipient may acquire, rehabilitate, convert, lease, repair or construct property, or commit HUD or local funds.

Granted By:
Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, and Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted:
May 11, 1999.

Reason Waived:
The Lower Elwha Tribe made several errors during the environmental review and clearance process required by 24 CFR part 58 that resulted in the Housing Authority obligating and expending grant funds for the project before HUD's approval of the Request for Release of Funds and Certification, form HUD 7015.15. HUD made a determination based upon these actions to conduct an environmental review according to 24 CFR part 50. A HUD environmental review at this point would be after the Annual Contributions Contract for this project. Therefore, a waiver is necessary to allow HUD to conduct the review and resolve the issue. HUD also determined that no environmental degradation resulted from the regulatory noncompliance and that no mitigation activities would be necessary since no environmental damage or potential problems were identified. Considering the above, HUD determined that a waiver of the regulatory requirements would maintain the integrity of HUD's environmental review process and was consistent with Executive Order 12084 that encourages flexibility in the

consideration of waiver requests from tribal governments.

•
Regulation:
24 CFR 50.17 and 24 1000.20(a).

Project/Activity:
The Lummi Tribe, Bellingham, WA, received a Traditional Indian Housing Development grant to construct 5 Mutual Help homeownership units.

Nature of Requirement:
HUD's regulation at § 50.17 requires an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact or an environmental impact statement be completed before the applicable decision points for projects not exempt or categorically excluded from environmental review requirements. HUD's regulation at § 1000.20(a) requires an environmental review be completed for any Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act project not excluded from review before a recipient may acquire, rehabilitate, convert, lease, repair or construct property, or commit HUD or local funds.

Granted By:
Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, and Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted:
September 15, 1999 by Mr. Cooper and July 30, 1999 by Mr. Lucas.

Reason Waived:
The Lummi Tribe made several errors during the environmental review process required by 24 CFR part 58 that resulted in funds being obligated for the project before HUD's approval of the Request for Release of Funds and Certification, form HUD 7015.15. HUD made a determination based upon these actions to conduct an environmental review according to 24 CFR part 50. A HUD environmental review at this point would be after the Annual Contributions Contract. Therefore, a waiver is necessary to allow HUD to conduct the review and resolve the issue.

•
Regulation:
24 CFR 50.17 and 24 CFR 1000.20(a).

Project/Activity:
Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, Sequim, WA, received grant funds for the acquisition of 23.5 acres at two sites for the development of low-income housing and a community water and sewer system.

Nature of Requirement:
HUD's regulation at § 50.17 requires an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact or an environmental impact statement be completed before the applicable decision points for projects which are not exempt or categorically excluded from environmental review requirements. HUD's regulation at § 1000.20(a) requires an environmental review be completed for any Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act project not excluded from review before a recipient may acquire, rehabilitate, convert, lease, repair or construct property, or commit HUD or local funds.

Granted By:
Cardell Cooper, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning Development for § 50.17, and Harold Lucas, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing for § 1000.20(a).

Date Granted:
April 25, 2000 by Mr. Cooper and May 5, 2000 by Mr. Lucas.

Reason Waived:
The Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe made several errors during the environmental review process required by 24 CFR part 58 that resulted in funds being obligated for the project before HUD's approval of the Request for Release of Funds and Certification, form HUD 7015.15. HUD made a determination based upon these actions to conduct an environmental review according to 24 CFR part 50. A HUD environmental review at this point would be after the grant agreement. Therefore, a waiver is necessary to allow HUD to conduct the review and resolve the issue. HUD also determined that no environmental degradation resulted from the regulatory noncompliance and that no mitigation activities would be necessary since no environmental damage or potential problems were identified. Tribal staff has participated in two HUD sponsored environmental training sessions to obtain additional background information and expertise in the environmental review and clearance requirements. Considering the above, HUD determined that a waiver of the regulatory requirements would maintain the integrity of HUD's environmental review process and was consistent with Executive Order 12084 that encourages flexibility in the consideration of waiver requests from tribal governments.

III. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Housing

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

•
Regulation:
24 CFR 202.3(c)(2)(iii).

Project/Activity:
Credit Watch/Termination Threshold.

Nature of Requirement:
HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 202.3(c)(2)(iii) provides that the Secretary may notify a mortgagee that it is on credit watch status if the mortgagee had a rate of defaults and claims on insured mortgages originated in an area which exceeded 150 percent, but not 200 percent, of the normal rate.

Granted by:
William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner.

Date Granted:
June 12, 2000.

Reason Waived:
Waiving the regulation permits HUD/FHA to initially focus on those lenders originating the worst performing loans. The waiver will adjust the Credit Watch threshold from being between 150% and 200.9% of the HUD field office default and claim rate to being between 200% and 300.9% of that rate. This waiver is limited to Credit Watch reviews conducted in the second quarter of calendar year 2000.

•
Regulation:
24 CFR 203.49(c).

Project/Activity:
Waiver of the requirements of 24 CFR 203.49(c) to extend the initial adjustment dates for adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) loans beyond the 12 to 18 month window currently provided for in the regulation.

Nature of Requirement:
HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 203.49(c) provides that lenders may extend the initial interest rate adjustment dates on ARM loans thus rendering the loans eligible for placement in Ginnie Mae pools. Ineligibility of the loans for delivery to Ginnie Mae would result in financial hardship to the mortgagee and will not have an adverse impact on any mortgagors.

Granted by:
William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner.

Date Granted:
May 19, 2000.

Reason Waived:
Mortgagee, Corinthian Mortgage Corporation of Mission, Kansas, requested extensions of the initial change date for two ARM loans beyond the 12-18 month window period as required by 24 CFR 203.49(c). Approving the waiver enabled the lender to securitize the loans and rendered no harm to the borrowers or the Department.

Regulation:
24 CFR 206.19(d)(2) and 24 CFR 206.47(B).

Project/Activity:
Waiver of the requirements of 24 CFR 206.19(d)(2) and 24 CFR 206.47(b) pertaining to the Home Equity Conversion (HECM) Program.

Nature of Requirement:
The current HECM regulations limit the repairs completed after closing to 15% of the maximum claim amount. In addition, the escrow account must equal 150% of the required repairs. The regulations located at 24 CFR 206.19(d)(2) and 24 CFR 206.47(b) need to be waived in order to allow a borrower to avoid foreclosure by using the HECM loan program.

Granted by:
William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner.

Date Granted:
June 29, 2000.

Reason Waived:
Waiving the regulations cited above will provide assistance to the homeowner who is experiencing financial hardship. Without the waivers, the borrower is faced with the foreclosure of her current mortgage. This is not in keeping with the policy objectives of FHA which include assisting persons in maintaining homeownership.

Regulation:
24 CFR 234.3 and 234.26(f)(1) where it is cited as a limitation.

Project/Activity:
Assisi, San Francisco Apartments, and La Providencia condominium projects in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Nature of Requirement:
FHA insurance may not be placed on individual units in a condominium project converted from rental housing unless; (1) conversion occurred more than one year prior to application for insurance, (2) the mortgagor was a tenant at the time of conversion, (3) the conversion was sponsored by a bona fide tenants organization, or (4) certain events relating to application occurred before April 10, 1984. HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 234.3 defines conversion to mean the date on which all documents necessary to create a condominium under State law (and under local law, where applicable) have been recorded.

Granted by:
William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner.

Date Granted:
May 16, 2000.

Reason Waived:
Under the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico's inscription law the recordation process begins with presentment of the legal documents to create a condominium but due to backlogs may take several years to complete. The waiver acknowledged that essentially the condominium regime and all attending responsibilities were created at presentment. Granting the waiver permitted FHA mortgage insurance to be placed on units in the three projects one year from date of presentment. It also permitted those parties who qualified as tenants under 24 234.26(f)(1) to immediately obtain FHA mortgage insurance.

Project/Activity:
Nantucket at Reston, Reston, VA.

Nature of Requirement:
HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 234.26(e)(3) requires, in order for a condominium project to be acceptable to the Secretary, at least 51 percent of all family units (including units not covered by FHA-insured mortgages) must be occupied by the owners as a principal residence or a secondary residence (as the terms are defined in 24 CFR 203.18), or must have been sold to owners who intend to meet this occupancy requirement.

Granted by:
William C. Apgar, Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner.

Date Granted:
June 23, 2000.

Reason Waived:
Waiver was granted to allow FHA-mortgage insurance on a unit in a 56 unit development, bringing the owner-occupancy rate to 48.21 percent. The unit constituted affordable housing and will assist in augmenting housing available to households of low and moderate income.
