Nature of Requirement: The first regulation, 24 CFR 58.22(a), requires
[[Page 38073]]
that an environmental review be performed and a Request for Release of Funds be completed and certified prior to the commitment of nonHUD funds to a project using HUD funds. The second regulation, 24 CFR 58.43(a), requires that notice be issued when a responsible entity makes a FONSI.

Granted by: Roy A. Bernardi, Deputy Secretary.

Date Granted: January 17, 2008.

Reason Waived: The waiver was granted based on the following findings: the project furthered objectives of the Indian Housing Block Grant Program; the errors made in the environmental process were made in good faith and were not willful violations; and a site review and environmental assessment concluded that the granting of a waiver would not result in adverse environmental impact.

Project/Activity: The Conrad Prebys Clubhouse and Youth Center was a Boys & Girls Club project that included two Economic Development Initiative Special Purpose grants in the amounts of $325,000 and $459,000. The facility is located in Santee, CA, which also acted as the Responsible Entity. Work was performed using nonHUD funds to construct the project prior to the performance of an environmental review.

Nature of Requirement: The regulation requires that an environmental review be performed and a Request for Release of Funds be completed and certified prior to the commitment of nonHUD funds to a project using HUD funds.

Granted by: Nelson R. Breg[oacute]n, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: March 4, 2008.

Reason Waived: The waiver was granted based on the following findings: the project furthered objectives of community development; the errors made in the environmental process were made in good faith and were not willful violations; and an environmental assessment concluded that the granting of a waiver will not result in adverse environmental impact.

Contact: Jerimiah Sanders, Office of Environment and Energy, Office of Community and Planning Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7250, Washington, DC 20410 7000, telephone (202) 7082470.

Project/Activity: The State of Nebraska's Department of Economic Development requested a waiver of the HOME Program regulations 24 CFR 92.214(a)(1) and 24 CFR 92.214(a)(6) for three troubled HOME rental projects which were initially underfunded and underwritten to carry unacceptably high debt in relation to potential net operating income. The waiver permitted additional HOME funds to be provided and permitted HOME funds to be used for operating reserves to ensure viability of these projects. The additional HOME investment would be supplemented by the Nebraska Housing Trust Funds and would permit the State to retain 82 atrisk units as affordable rental housing.

Nature of Requirement: The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.214(a)(6) state that, except for the 12 months following project completion, additional HOME assistance may not be provided to a previouslyassisted HOME project during the period of affordability. The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.214(a)(1) prohibits the use of HOME funds to capitalize project reserve accounts, except for initial operating deficit reserves not to exceed 18 months, as permitted under 24 CFR 92.206(d)(5).

Granted by: Nelson R. Breg[oacute]n, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: March 14, 2008.

Reason Waived: HUD examined the workout plan for these projects and determined that it was desirable to facilitate continued operation of these properties as HOME assisted affordable rental housing. The additional HOME investment would stabilize the eight HOME units that are in compliance for the remainder of their affordability period, correct the previous noncompliance of thirtyone HOME units by restarting their affordability periods, and add an additional forty three units which would carry HOME restrictions. These waivers permitted the State to retain 82 atrisk units as affordable housing.

Granted by: Nelson R. Breg[oacute]n, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: February 4, 2008.

Reasons Waived: Due to the severity of the storm damage from the Northwest December Storm, the Department determined there was good cause to waive the above requirements.

Contact: Virginia Sardone, Director, Policy and Programs Division, Office of Affordable Housing Programs, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7158, Washington, DC 204107000, telephone (202) 402 4808.

Project/Activity: The State of Washington requested that HUD suspend statutory requirements and waive HOME regulations to facilitate the recovery from the displacement of households and/or the damage to homes caused by the severe storm and flooding occurring in December 2007 in the following counties: Clallam, Grays Harbor, King, Kitsap, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, Snohomish, Thurston and Wahkiakum Counties. These Counties are in a declared disaster area pursuant to Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.

Nature of Requirement: The requirements are as follows: 24 CFR 92.203(a)(1) and (2) (HOME), and 24 CFR 92.610(c) (ADDI)requiring that initial income determinations for HOME and ADDI beneficiaries be made using source documentation; Section 212(a)(3) of the Act, and 92.209(b), (c), (h), (i), (j) and (k) governing the HOME TBRA program; 24 CFR 92.209(h)(3)requiring TBRA rent payments may not exceed the difference between the rent standard and 30 percent of the families' adjusted income; 24 CFR 92.222(b)reducing the matching requirements; 24 CFR 92.251 and 24 CFR 92.612(b)requiring housing assisted with HOME or ADDI funds meet certain property standards; 24 CFR 92.209(i) and 24 CFR 92.251(d)providing that units occupied by recipients of HOME TBRA meet the Housing Quality Standards (HQS); Section 225(d) of the Act, and 24 CFR 92.253(d)requiring written tenant selection policies and procedures; and 24 CFR 92.353(d)requiring a written relocation policy.

Granted by: Nelson R. Breg[oacute]n, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: February 21, 2008.

Reason Waived: Pursuant to Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, President George W. Bush declared a major disaster for Clallam, Grays Harbor, King, Kitsap, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, Snohomish, Thurston and Wahkiakum Counties in the State of Washington as a result of a severe storm and flooding occurring in December 2007. Section 290 of the CranstonGonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (NAHA), as amended, authorizes HUD to suspend certain HOME statutory and regulatory requirements for HOME participating jurisdictions located within Presidential declared disaster areas. It was determined that the waiver would facilitate the continued recovery of these counties.

Contact: Virginia Sardone, Director, Policy and Programs Division, Office of Affordable Housing Programs, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7158, Washington, DC 204107000, telephone (202) 402 4808.

Project/Activity: Shelby County, Tennessee, requested a waiver to facilitate its recovery from damage caused by severe storms, tornadoes, straightline winds, and flooding. The County was declared a major disaster area pursuant to Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.

Nature of Requirement: Section 92.251(a)(1) of the HOME regulations in 24 CFR part 92 requires that housing assisted with HOME funds meet specific property and rehabilitation standards.

Granted by: Nelson R. Breg[oacute]n, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: March 27, 2008.

Reasons Waived: It was determined that the waiver would facilitate the recovery of Shelby County from the damage caused by the severe storms, tornados and flooding of March and April 2006. The waiver would allow the County to make emergency repairs to stormdamaged, owner occupied units and return these units to habitability more quickly, which would help the county to meet the critical housing needs of families whose homes were damaged and increase the number of assisted households.

Contact: Virginia Sardone, Director, Policy and Programs Division, Office of Affordable Housing Programs, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7158, Washington, DC 204107000, telephone (202) 402 4808.

Project/Activity: The State of Oregon requests a waiver of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) regulation at 24 CFR 91.115(b)(4).

Nature of Requirement: Provisions of CDBG regulations at 24 CFR 91.115(b)(4) require that a minimum of thirty days be allowed for public comments to the changes to the Method of Distribution (MOD); while 24 CFR 91.115(i) requires the State to follow its citizen participation plan.

[[Page 38075]]

Granted by: Nelson R. Breg[oacute]n, Assistant Secretary, Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: February 01, 2008.

Reason Waived: A waiver of 91.115(b)(4), which provided reduced public comment period from 30 days to 3 days, would allow the State to implement the amendment to the 2008 MOD and annual action plan expeditiously and enable the State to provide assistance to affected units of general local government (UGLG) for disaster recovery in a timely manner. A waiver of 24 CFR 91.115(i) was determined necessary to permit the state to deviate from its citizen participation plan.

Contact: Diane Lobasso, Director, State and Small Cities Division, Office of Block Grant Assistance, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7184, Washington, DC 204107000, telephone (202) 402 2191.

Project/Activity: The State of Oregon requested statutory suspension of 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(3)(A), (d)(5) and (d)(6), Section 105(d)(3)(A) of the Housing and Community Development Act (HCDA); and a waiver of CDBG regulation at 24 CFR 570.489 (a)(1), (3).

Nature of Requirements: Provisions of CDBG statutes at 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(3)(A)(d)(6) and the regulations at 24 CFR 570.489(a)(1)(i) and (iii), establish the State CDBG administrative cap at 2% and match requirements exceeding $100,000. Section 106(d) of the HCDA, allows grantees to use up to 2% of their allocation on state administration, 1% for technical assistance, or 3% of a combination thereof, in addition to $100,000 for administration without having to provide a match.

Granted by: Nelson R. Breg[oacute]n, General Deputy Assistant Secretary, Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: February 01, 2008.

Reason Waived: Due to the flood devastation, additional administrative funds were determined needed to assist the State of Oregon to recover from the disaster. By suspending the 2%
administration cap and allowing use of matching funds for other purposes, the state would be able to administer its program and use CDBG funds needed in communities affected by the flood. This waiver would allow the State to provide additional administrative funds (from 2% to 4%) and remove the requirement that the State must match the amount of administrative expenses in excess of $100,000 that are used for disaster recovery activities. The State was not permitted to exceed the overall planning, management and administrative cap of 20 percent pursuant to 24 CFR 570.489(a)(3).

Contact: Diane Lobasso, Director, State and Small Cities Division, Office of Block Grant Assistance, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7184, Washington, DC 204107000, telephone (202) 402 2191.

Project/Activity: The State of Oregon requested a waiver of CDBG regulation at 24 CFR 570.486(a)(5).

Nature of Requirement: Provisions of CDBG regulation at 24 CFR 570.486(a)(5) require each UGLG to provide for a minimum of two public hearings at different stages of a CDBGfunded activity to ensure local citizen participation.

Granted by: Nelson R. Breg[oacute]n, General Deputy Assistant Secretary, Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: February 01, 2008.

Reason Waived: Allowing the UGLG to conduct only one public hearing would expedite application processing and the provision of CDBG funds to the UGLG.

Project/Activity: Hickory Hollow Cooperative I, Wayne, Michigan FHA Project Number 04455190. The owner is requesting waiver of the regulations that require repayment of the flexible subsidy loan and approval of a 30year amortization of the flexible subsidy loan at a 1 percent interest rate.

Nature of Requirement: Section 219.220(b) governs the repayment of operating assistance provided under the Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled Projects prior to May 1, 1996 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 these actions would typically terminate FHA involvement with the property, and the Flexible Subsidy loan would be repaid, in whole, at that time.''

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner.

Date Granted: March 11, 2008.

Reason Waived: The project has maintained affordability under the Section 221(d)(3) BMIR program and consistently received REAC scores above 60 since 2001.

Project/Activity: Remeeder Houses, Brooklyn, New YorkFHA Project Number 01244023. The owner has proposed to waive required submission of HUDForm 93014, Monthly Report of Excess Income, in support of the sale and litigation of the property.

Nature of Requirement: Section 236.60(e) provides guidelines for retaining excess income. Excess income is defined as cash collected as rent from the residents by the mortgagor on a unitbyunit basis, that is in excess of the HUDapproved unassisted Basic Rent. The mortgagor must submit a request to retain Excess Income at least 90 days before the beginning of each fiscal year or any other date during a fiscal year that the mortgagor plans to begin retaining Excess Income for that fiscal year. If HUD, following review of the request, approves the request the mortgagor will not be required to submit a new request each fiscal year provided the use of Excess Income remains the same.

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner.

Date Granted: January 18, 2008.

Reason Waived: The proposed sale and redevelopment of the project that includes taxexempt bonds with lowincome housing tax credits would restore the project to a decent, safe and sanitary condition for all tenants. The sale would assure that all HUD debt is paid, the mortgage is no longer HUDHeld and the project would remain an affordable housing resource for an additional 30 years through the execution of the Use Agreement as part of the Section 236 decoupling transaction.

Contact: Beverly J. Miller, Director, Office of Asset Management, Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 6160, Washington, DC 204108000, telephone (202) 7083730.

Project/Activity: Oakwood Gardens, Mount Vernon, New YorkFHA Project Numbers: 01257139V and 01257139W. The owner has requested prepayment approval of their two HUDHeld mortgages. In addition, they are requesting the Department to assign the mortgages to the purchasing entity's new mortgagee, for mortgage recording tax savings in the State of New York.

Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulations governing the sale of HUD Held mortgages are set forth in 24 CFR Part 290, subpart B, Section 290.30(a) of those regulations state that ``[e]xcept as otherwise provided in Section 290.31(a)(2), HUD will sell HUDHeld multifamily mortgages on a competitive basis.'' Section 290.31(a)(2) permits ``negotiated'' sales to state or local governments for mortgage loans that are current and secured by subsidized projects, provided such loans are sold with FHA insurance.

Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner.

Date Granted: January 8, 2008.

Reason Waived: Waiver of the regulations covering the sale of HUD Held mortgages to allow the noncompetitive sale of the HUDHeld mortgages securing the project with FHA insurance has been approved. Good cause having been shown it is in the public interest, and consistent with the Secretary's objectives to waive the appropriate regulations in order to permit the noncompetitive sale to Intervest National Bank. HUD will be paid in full for all three current mortgage loans at closing of this transaction.
