Displacement, Relocation Assistance, and Real Property Acquisition for HUD and HUD-Assisted Programs; Streamlining Rule

SUMMARY: This final rule amends HUD's regulations implementing section

104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, including

residential antidisplacement and relocation assistance plans, one-for-

one replacement requirements, and relocation benefits. In an effort to

comply with the President's regulatory reform initiatives, this rule

will streamline those regulations by consolidating them into one part.

This final rule will make the regulations clearer and more concise.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 4, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 4, 1995, President Clinton issued a

memorandum to all Federal departments and agencies regarding regulatory

reinvention. In response to this memorandum, HUD conducted a page-by-

page review of its regulations to determine which can be eliminated,

consolidated, or otherwise improved.

This revised part 42 implements section 104(d) of the Housing and

Community Development Act of 1974 (HCD Act of 1974) (42 U.S.C.

5304(d)(4)), which sets forth requirements governing conversion,

demolition, and one-for-one replacement of units removed from the

housing stock. Section 104(d) requires residential antidisplacement and

relocation assistance plans (RARAPs) for State and local governments

receiving funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and

Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG) programs. This requirement was

extended to the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) program by section

105(b)(14) of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act

(NAHA) (42 U.S.C. 12705(b)(14)). In streamlining these requirements,

this final rule also implements the restrictions in 42 U.S.C. 3537c on

lump-sum payments for relocation assistance.

On July 1, 1994 (59 FR 34300), HUD published a proposed rule that

would have created a new part 43 to replace the current requirements in

Secs. 92.353(e) and 570.606(c) of title 24. Consistent with its

reinvention objectives, HUD is adding the section 104(d) requirements

to part 42, rather than creating a detailed new part 43. In doing so,

it is retaining some of the current language of part 570. As a result,

part 42 will make clear the distinction between the generally

applicable requirements of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real

Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.)

(Uniform Relocation Act or URA) and the more targeted requirements of

section 104(d) of the HCD Act of 1974 (Section 104(d)).

Proposed Rule

Some existing section 104(d) requirements established for the CDBG

programs do not work well in the HOME Program. The July 1, 1994, rule

proposed section 104(d) policies that would be better tailored to both

HOME and CDBG Program policy needs, providing consistent and workable

policies for both programs in the same regulation. Such consistency is

essential because CDBG and HOME funds may be used in the same project.

Portions of the proposed rule necessary to achieve that objective have

been incorporated in this final rule. Other parts of the proposed rule,

however, are unnecessarily lengthy, complex, or prescriptive. Since

adoption of these portions would be inconsistent with HUD's

streamlining objectives, HUD has not included them in the final rule.

Two organizations and three other persons submitted comments in

response to the proposed rule. Commenters have asked why it is

necessary to have a RARAP when there would be no displacement resulting

from the project. Section 104(d) of the HCD Act of 1974 states that a

grant for a CDBG program ``may be made only if the grantee certifies

that it is following'' a RARAP. While HUD cannot bypass this statutory

requirement, an acceptable ``plan'' for such circumstances need not be

elaborate. Since the RARAP does not need to be revised or readopted

annually, but only when the recipient's program necessitates, this

requirement should not impose any major burden on program participants.

Overnight Homeless Shelters and Other Public Facilities

``Conversion'' (defined in the final rule) is one of the two

actions that triggers the requirements of section 104(d). In the past,

HUD had stated that a change of lower-income housing into an overnight

emergency shelter constituted ``conversion,'' even if the market rent

of the shelter housing, upon completion of the project, did not exceed

the Section 8 Fair Market Rent (FMR). Questions were raised about the

policy applicable to changing lower-income housing into nursing homes,

battered spouse shelters, halfway houses, group homes, and transitional

housing. The July 1, 1994, proposed rule stated, ``The Department has

concluded that such facilities and emergency overnight shelters may

contribute to the supply of available lower income housing, and

changing conventional housing into such a use does not necessarily

trigger a replacement requirement. * * * In other words, the Department

would consider the physical structure, rather than whether the tenants

are permitted to remain for only a temporary period of time and must

vacate to permit use by other tenants.''

In response to public comments, and upon further consideration of

the issue, HUD has revised its position. It is HUD's determination that

housing that is changed to an emergency shelter, whether it serves

homeless persons, battered spouses, or others, is indeed a

``conversion'' of lower-income housing. Changing lower-income housing

into nursing homes, halfway houses, group homes and transitional

housing, or other forms of permanent or transitional housing, does not

constitute a ``conversion'' and, thus, does not trigger a replacement

requirement. Accordingly, the final rule revises the definition of

conversion at Sec. 42.305(b)(2) to include alteration of a housing unit

to be used for an emergency shelter.

Removal of Dilapidated Housing

CDBG recipients had been required to replace vacant, dilapidated

housing that is not suitable for rehabilitation if the unit was

occupied at any time within the period beginning 1 year before the

execution of the contract covering the demolition. The proposed rule

reduced the 12-month period to 3 months. Two commenters agreed with the

proposal. One opposed it, stating that the change was an evasion of the

one-for-one housing replacement requirement.

[[Page 51757]]

HUD disagrees with the latter comment and remains concerned that

the old 1-year rule has had the effect of unduly delaying the

demolition of run-down vacant buildings that are a danger to public

health and safety. Moreover, the removal of vacant, dilapidated housing

that is clearly not occupiable does not effectively diminish the

available supply of lower-income housing. Therefore, the final rule

definition of ``vacant occupiable dwelling unit'' at Sec. 42.305 adopts

the 3-month policy set out in the proposed rule.

Other Matters

Executive Order 12866

The Office of Management and Budget reviewed this final rule under

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. Any changes made

to the rule as a result of that review are clearly identified in the

docket file, which is available for public inspection at the Office of

the Rules Docket Clerk, Office of General Counsel, Room 10276,

Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20410-0500.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Secretary, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

U.S.C. 605(b)), has reviewed and approved this final rule, and in so

doing certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule merely

streamlines and consolidates existing requirements, thereby providing

consistency in affected programs. The rule will have no adverse or

disproportionate economic impact on small businesses.

Environmental Impact

A Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment

was made in accordance with HUD regulations in 24 CFR part 50 that

implement section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332). This Finding is available for public inspection

between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. weekdays in the Office of the Rules

Docket Clerk, Office of General Counsel, Room 10276, Department of

Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC.

Executive Order 12612, Federalism

The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a)

of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that this rule

will not have substantial direct effects on States or their political

subdivisions, or the relationship between the Federal government and

the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among

the various levels of government. No programmatic or policy changes

will result from this rule that would affect the relationship between

the Federal Government and State and local governments.

Executive Order 12606, The Family

The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under Executive

Order 12606, The Family, has determined that this rule will not have

the potential for significant impact on family formation, maintenance,

or general well-being, and thus is not subject to review under the

Order. No significant change in existing HUD policies or programs will

result from promulgation of this rule.

Sec. 42.305 Definitions.

The terms Fair Market Rent (FMR), HUD, Section 8, and Uniform

Relocation Act (URA) are defined in part 5 of this title. Otherwise, as

used in this subpart:

Comparable replacement dwelling unit means a dwelling unit that:

(1) Meets the criteria of 49 CFR 24.2(d)(1) through (6); and

(2) Is available at a monthly cost for rent plus estimated average

monthly utility costs that does not exceed the ``Total Tenant Payment''

determined under Sec. 813.107 of this title, after taking into account

any rental assistance the household would receive.

Conversion. (1) This term means altering a housing unit so that it

is:

(i) Used for nonhousing purposes;

(ii) Used for housing purposes, but no longer meets the definition

of lower-income dwelling unit; or

(iii) Used as an emergency shelter.

(2) A housing unit that continues to be used for housing after

completion of the project is not considered a ``conversion'' if, upon

completion of the project, the unit is owned and occupied by a person

who owned and occupied the unit before the project.

Displaced person means a lower-income person who, in connection

with an activity assisted under any program subject to this subpart,

permanently moves from real property or permanently moves personal

property from real property as a direct result of the demolition or

conversion of a lower-income dwelling. For purposes of this definition,

a permanent move includes a move made permanently and:

(1) After notice by the grantee to move from the property following

initial submission to HUD of the consolidated plan required of

entitlement grantees pursuant to Sec. 570.302; of an application for

assistance pursuant to Secs. 570.426, 570.430, or 570.465 that is

(including utility costs) that does not exceed the applicable Fair

Market Rent (FMR) for existing housing established under 24 CFR part

888.

Lower-income person means, as appropriate, a ``low and moderate

income person'' as that term is defined in Sec. 570.3 of this title, or

a ``low-income family'' as that term is defined in Sec. 92.2 of this

title.

Recipient means CDBG grantee, UDAG grantee, or the HOME

participating jurisdiction.

Standard condition and substandard condition suitable for

rehabilitation have the meaning the recipient has established for those

terms in its HUD-approved consolidated plan pursuant to 24 CFR part 91.

either the State's definitions for those terms or the definitions

adopted by the unit of general local government for this purpose shall

apply.

Vacant occupiable dwelling unit means a vacant dwelling unit that

is in a standard condition; a vacant dwelling unit that is in a

substandard condition, but is suitable for rehabilitation; or a

dwelling unit in any condition that has been occupied (except by a

squatter) at any time within the period beginning 3 months before the

date of execution of the agreement by the recipient covering the

rehabilitation or demolition.

Sec. 42.325 Residential antidisplacement and relocation assistance

plan.

(a) Certification. (1) As part of its consolidated plan under 24

CFR part 91, the recipient must certify that it has in effect and is

following a residential antidisplacement and relocation assistance

plan.

(2) A unit of general local government receiving funds from the

State must certify to the State that it has in effect and is following

a residential antidisplacement and relocation assistance plan, and that

it will minimize displacement of persons as a result of assisted

activities. The State may require the unit of general local government

to follow the State's plan or permit it to develop its own plan. A unit

of general local government that develops its own plan must adopt the

plan and make it public.

(b) Plan contents. (1) The plan shall indicate the steps that will

be taken consistent with other goals and objectives of the program, as

provided in parts 92 and 570 of this title, to minimize the

displacement of families and individuals from their homes and

neighborhoods as a result of any assisted activities.

(2) The plan shall provide for relocation assistance in accordance

with Sec. 42.350.

(3) The plan shall provide one-for-one replacement units to the

extent required by Sec. 42.375.

Sec. 42.350 Relocation assistance for displaced persons.

A displaced person may choose to receive either assistance under

the URA and implementing regulations at 49 CFR part 24 or assistance

under section 104(d) of the HCD Act of 1974, including:

(a) Advisory services. Advisory services at the levels described in

49 CFR part 24. A displaced person must be advised of his or her rights

under the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601-19). If the comparable

replacement dwelling to be provided to a minority person is located in

an area of minority concentration, as defined in the recipient's

consolidated plan, if applicable, the minority person must also be

given, if possible, referrals to comparable and suitable decent, safe,

and sanitary replacement dwellings not located in such areas.

(b) Moving expenses. Payment for moving expenses at the levels

described in 49 CFR part 24.

(c) Security deposits and credit checks. The reasonable and

necessary cost of any security deposit required to rent the replacement

dwelling unit, and for credit checks required to rent or purchase the

replacement dwelling unit.

(d) Interim living costs. The recipient shall reimburse a person

for actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with a

displacement, including moving expenses and increased housing costs,

if:

(1) The person must relocate temporarily because continued

occupancy of the dwelling unit constitutes a substantial danger to the

health or safety of the person or the public; or

(2) The person is displaced from a ``lower-income dwelling unit,''

none of the comparable replacement dwelling units to which the person

has been referred qualifies as a lower-income dwelling unit, and a

suitable lower-income dwelling unit is scheduled to become available in

accordance with Sec. 42.375.

(e) Replacement housing assistance. Persons are eligible to receive

one of the following two forms of replacement housing assistance:

(1) Each person must be offered rental assistance equal to 60 times

the amount necessary to reduce the monthly rent and estimated average

monthly cost of utilities for a replacement dwelling

[[Page 51759]]

(comparable replacement dwelling or decent, safe, and sanitary

replacement dwelling to which the person relocates, whichever costs

less) to the ``Total Tenant Payment,'' as determined under part 813 of

this title. All or a portion of this assistance may be offered through

a certificate or voucher for rental assistance (if available) provided

under Section 8. If a Section 8 certificate or voucher is provided to a

person, the recipient must provide referrals to comparable replacement

dwelling units where the owner is willing to participate in the Section

8 Tenant-Based Assistance Existing Housing Program (see part 982 of

this title). When provided, cash assistance will generally be in

installments, in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 3537c; or

(2) If the person purchases an interest in a housing cooperative or

mutual housing association and occupies a decent, safe, and sanitary

dwelling in the cooperative or association, the person may elect to

receive a payment equal to the capitalized value of 60 times the amount

that is obtained by subtracting the ``Total Tenant Payment,'' as

determined under part 813 of this title, from the monthly rent and

estimated average monthly cost of utilities at a comparable replacement

dwelling unit. To compute the capitalized value, the installments shall

be discounted at the rate of interest paid on passbook savings deposits

by a federally insured financial institution conducting business within

the recipient's jurisdiction. To the extent necessary to minimize

hardship to the household, the recipient shall, subject to appropriate

safeguards, issue a payment in advance of the purchase of the interest

in the housing cooperative or mutual housing association.

Sec. 42.375 One-for-one replacement of lower-income dwelling units.

(a) Units that must be replaced. All occupied and vacant occupiable

lower-income dwelling units that are demolished or converted to a use

other than as lower-income dwelling units in connection with an

assisted activity must be replaced with comparable lower-income

dwelling units.

(b) Acceptable replacement units. Replacement lower-income dwelling

units may be provided by any government agency or private developer and

must meet the following requirements:

(1) The units must be located within the recipient's jurisdiction.

To the extent feasible and consistent with other statutory priorities,

the units shall be located within the same neighborhood as the units

replaced.

(2) The units must be sufficient in number and size to house no

fewer than the number of occupants who could have been housed in the

units that are demolished or converted. The number of occupants who

could have been housed in units shall be determined in accordance with

applicable local housing occupancy codes. The recipient may not replace

those units with smaller units (e.g., a 2-bedroom unit with two 1-

bedroom units), unless the recipient has provided the information

required under paragraph (c)(7) of this section.

(3) The units must be provided in standard condition. Replacement

lower-income dwelling units may include units that have been raised to

standard from substandard condition if:

(i) No person was displaced from the unit (see definition of

``displaced person'' in Sec. 42.305); and

(ii) The unit was vacant for at least 3 months before execution of

the agreement between the recipient and the property owner.

(4) The units must initially be made available for occupancy at any

time during the period beginning 1 year before the recipient makes

public the information required under paragraph (d) of this section and

ending 3 years after the commencement of the demolition or

rehabilitation related to the conversion.

(5) The units must be designed to remain lower-income dwelling

units for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy.

Replacement lower-income dwelling units may include, but are not

limited to, public housing or existing housing receiving Section 8

project-based assistance.

(c) Preliminary information to be made public. Before the recipient

enters into a contract committing it to provide funds under programs

covered by this subpart for any activity that will directly result in

the demolition of lower-income dwelling units or the conversion of

lower-income dwelling units to another use, the recipient must make

public, and submit in writing to the HUD field office (or State, in the

case of a unit of general local government funded by the State), the

following information:

(1) A description of the proposed assisted activity;

(2) The location on a map and number of dwelling units by size

(number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use

other than for lower-income dwelling units as a direct result of the

assisted activity;

(3) A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the

demolition or conversion;

(4) The location on a map and the number of dwelling units by size

(number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling

units. If such data are not available at the time of the general

submission, the submission shall identify the general location on an

area map and the approximate number of dwelling units by size, and

information identifying the specific location and number of dwelling

units by size shall be submitted and disclosed to the public as soon as

it is available;

(5) The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of

replacement dwelling units;

(6) The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit

will remain a lower-income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the

date of initial occupancy; and

(7) Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of

dwelling units with smaller dwelling units (e.g., a 2-bedroom unit with

two 1-bedroom units) is consistent with the needs assessment contained

in its HUD-approved consolidated plan. A unit of general local

government funded by the State that is not required to submit a

consolidated plan to HUD must make public information demonstrating

that the proposed replacement is consistent with the housing needs of

lower-income households in the jurisdiction.

(d) Replacement not required. (1) In accordance with 42 U.S.C.

5304(d)(3), the one-for-one replacement requirement of this section

does not apply to the extent the HUD field office determines, based

upon objective data, that there is an adequate supply of vacant lower-

income dwelling units in standard condition available on a

nondiscriminatory basis within the area.

(2) The recipient must submit directly to the HUD field office the

request for determination that the one-for-one replacement requirement

does not apply. Simultaneously with the submission of the request, the

recipient must make the submission public and inform interested persons

that they have 30 days from the date of submission to provide to HUD

additional information supporting or opposing the request.

(3) A unit of general local government funded by the State must

submit the request for determination under this paragraph to the State.

Simultaneously with the submission of the request, the unit of general

local government must make the submission public and inform interested

persons that they have 30 days from the date of submission to provide

to the State additional information supporting or opposing the request.

If the State, after considering

[[Page 51760]]

the submission and the additional data, agrees with the request, the

State must provide its recommendation with supporting information to

the field office.

Sec. 42.390 Appeals.

A person who disagrees with the recipient's determination

concerning whether the person qualifies as a ``displaced person,'' or

with the amount of relocation assistance for which the person is

eligible, may file a written appeal of that determination with the

recipient. A person who is dissatisfied with the recipient's

determination on his or her appeal may submit a written request for

review of that determination to the HUD field office (or to the State

in the case of a unit of general local government funded by the State).

If the full relief is not granted, the recipient shall advise the

person of his or her right to seek judicial review.
