BILLING CODE 4310-55-P 69 149 Wednesday, August 4, 2004 Notices Part III Department of Housing and Urban Development Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the Fourth Quarter of Calendar Year 2003; Notice DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT [Docket No. FR-4854-N-04] Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the Fourth Quarter of Calendar Year 2003 AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, 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 October 1, 2003, and ending on December 31, 2003. 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 fourth quarter of calendar year 2003. 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). This notice covers waivers of regulations granted by HUD from October 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003. 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). 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 § 58.73 and § 58.74 would appear sequentially in the listing under § 58.73. Waivers 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 before the next report is published, the next updated report will include these earlier waivers that were granted, as well as those that occurred during January 1, 2004, through March 31, 2004. Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this notice. Dated: July 27, 2004. Alphonso Jackson, Secretary. Appendix—Listing of Waivers of Regulatory Requirements Granted by Offices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, October 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003 **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 regulatory waiver 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. • *Regulation:* 24 CFR 91.520. *Project/Activity:* Request for extension of the submission deadline for the 2002 program year for the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) of Cook County, Illinois. *Nature of Requirement:* The regulation at 24 CFR 91.520 requires each grantee to submit a performance report to HUD within 90 days after the close of the grantee's program year. *Granted By:* Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. *Date Granted:* November 18, 2003. *Reason Waived:* Cook County's program year ended on September 30, 2003, and therefore its CAPER was due December 29, 2003. The county experienced a hardship beyond its control. A fire occurred in the county building resulting in the relocation of staff to another site where they shared space with other county employees. Because of the contaminants, the staff did not have ready access to files, documents and most equipment. If an extension of the deadline for submission of the CAPER report had been denied, the county would not have been able to submit a complete and accurate expenditure report on its 2002 program. The performance report provides local residents with information on the county's accomplishments during the year, and the report data goes into HUD's national database, which is used for various reporting purposes. While HUD desires timely reports, it is also interested in ensuring that the performance reports prepared by grantees are complete and accurate. *Contact:* Nanci R. Doherty, Special Assistant to the Deputy Assistant Secretary, Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone
(202)708-2565. • *Regulation:* 24 CFR 91.520. *Project/Activity:* Request for extension of the submission deadline for the CAPER of the city of San Angelo, Texas. *Nature of Requirement:* The regulation at 24 CFR 91.520 requires each grantee to submit a performance report to HUD within 90 days after the close of the grantee's program year. The city of San Angelo's program year ended on September 30, 2002, and therefore its CAPER was due December 29, 2003. *Granted By:* Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. *Date Granted:* November 18, 2003. *Reason Waived:* The city requested an extension of its submission deadline to February 16, 2004. The resignation of a key staff member responsible for preparing the CAPER and the loss of two other staff members, only one of whom could be replaced, left the city with a staff shortage. In addition, the city spent much time providing information to HUD's Office of Inspector General
(OIG)regarding a public housing authority investigation, and the city's Community Development office was asked to prepare a response to the OIG report. The city also was asked to provide information to the Department of Labor concerning a labor investigation. Finally, the city's independent auditor was conducting a compliance audit of the city's HOME and CDBG programs. The time that the city spent cooperating with and gathering information for these investigations and audits was extensive and, combined with the staff losses, resulted in the city being unable to expend the time needed to prepare its CAPER. If the request for extension deadline of submission of the CAPER report had been denied, the city would not have been able to submit a complete and accurate expenditure report on its 2002 program. While HUD desires timely reports, it is also interested in ensuring that the performance reports prepared by grantees are complete and accurate. *Contact:* Nanci R. Doherty, Special Assistant to the Deputy Assistant Secretary, Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone
(202)708-2565. • *Regulation:* 24 CFR 91.520. *Project/Activity:* Request for extension of submission deadline for the CAPER of the city of Des Plaines, Illinois. *Nature of Requirement:* The regulation at 24 CFR 91.520 requires each grantee to submit a performance report to HUD within 90 days after the close of the grantee's program year. The city's program year ended September 30, 2003. Therefore, its CAPER was due December 29, 2003. *Granted By:* Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. *Date Granted:* December 17, 2003. *Reason Waived:* The city's letter of December 5, 2003, requested an extension of its submission deadline to February 27, 2004. The city's Community Development Block Grant Coordinator resigned in September 2003. The position was filled on an interim basis in October, but the city required additional time to complete the CAPER because of this change. If an extension of the deadline for submission of the CAPER had been denied, the city would not have been able to submit a complete and accurate performance report on its 2002 program. While HUD desires timely reports, it is also interested in ensuring that the performance reports prepared by grantees are complete and accurate. *Contact:* Nanci R. Doherty, Special Assistant to the Deputy Assistant Secretary, Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone
(202)708-2565. • *Regulation:* 24 CFR 92.502(d)(2). *Project/Activity:* City of Springfield, Ohio—Investment of HOME Funds. *Nature of Requirement:* The regulation at 24 CFR 92.502(d)(2) prohibits the investment of additional HOME funds in a project after one year has passed from the date of project completion. The purpose of the prohibition is to ensure that projects are brought up to all applicable standards at the time the HOME-funded work is performed and that HOME funds are not used for on-going maintenance or replacement costs. *Granted By:* Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary of Community Planning and Development. *Date Granted:* December 12, 2003. *Reason Waived:* Chronic under-occupancy and lack of improvements to the property resulted in multiple sales and eventual foreclosure of the property. The most recent purchaser was willing to rehabilitate and maintain all the HOME-assisted units as affordable units. At HUD's request, the city extended the period of affordability by five years although the additional funding requested in combination with the original investment did not trigger the longer affordability period. The city's efforts to restore the viability of this project over several years, in light of the fact that the regulations permit the restrictions to lapse in the event of foreclosure, constituted good cause for a waiver. *Contact:* Nanci R. Doherty, Special Assistant to the Deputy Assistant Secretary, Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone
(202)708-2565. • *Regulation:* 24 CFR 92.503(b). *Project/Activity:* State of Colorado—Repayment of HOME Funds. *Nature of Requirement:* The regulation at 24 CFR 92.503(b) requires the repayment of HOME funds in the event a property does not meet the HOME affordability requirements for the period of time specified in 24 CFR 92.252 or 92.254. *Granted By:* Roy A. Bernardi, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. *Date Granted:* October 6, 2003. *Reasons Waived:* Due to insufficient rents, the owner was forced to sell a property containing two HOME-assisted units to stabilize the financial viability of its remaining properties. In an effort to avoid repayment of the entire initial HOME investment, the state of Colorado requested the owner to substitute two one-bedroom units in another property, which was not federally subsidized, at rents significantly below the HOME maximum rent for the area. The proposed units were found to be acceptable comparable unit substitution in lieu of repayment, which also advanced HUD's efforts to preserve the availability of affordable housing in the state of Colorado. *Contact:* Nanci R. Doherty, Special Assistant to the Deputy Assistant Secretary, Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone

Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing Commissioner. *Date Granted:* November 4, 2003. *Reason Waived:* The North Dakota Housing Finance Agency (Issuer) used override revenue to provide very low-income housing assistance in accordance with its refunding agreement under the McKinney-Vento Act. This revenue is pledged to the bondholders of the Series 1993 Multifamily Mortgage Revenue Refunding bonds as a source of additional security for timely payment of bond principal and interest until the bonds are paid in full. It was determined to be in the public interest and consistent with the Secretary's objectives to waive the appropriate regulation in order to enable the Issuer to continue to pledge fee revenues to its bonds and to rely on these revenues to support its publicly chartered affordable housing operations. The Issuer was therefore permitted to continue to collect override and contract administration fees in connection with its outstanding Series 1993, which were issued with HUD's approval. *Contact:* Beverly J.

Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner. *Date Granted:* November 4, 2003. *Reason Waived:* The New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority (NHHFA) relied on HUD's approval of proposed bond financing terms submitted by NHHFA in 1991, which terms included permission to collect both override and contract administration fees. Subsequently, Series 1991 Multifamily Housing Refunding Bonds (the Bonds) were issued pursuant to HUD's financing adjustment factor
(FAF)procedures and Section 1012 of the McKinney-Vento Act, which authorizes equal sharing between HUD and housing finance agencies of debt service savings and housing subsidy provided by the housing assistance payments

The housing authority's Board of Commissioners exercised a 60-day termination clause in its Executive Director's employment contract and terminated the Director's employment with the housing authority. The housing authority staff believed that the request for a TR/DBA had been formally submitted by the Executive Director before the Director's departure.

The cancellation was attributed to an investigation of the housing authority's former Executive Director by HUD's Office of the Inspector General (OIG). HUD's OIG had the financial data needed for the audit to be submitted. Additional time was needed to complete the audit. *Contact:* Judy Wojciechowski, Director, Office of Troubled Agency Recovery, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone

DHA demonstrated that the award of a contract through competitive means would be infeasible, because the item is available only from a single source. DHA would be unable to procure any other developer with similar experience and commitment to the Roseland community or who would be able to offer site control of the land parcels providing essential links within the community. *Contact:* Milan Ozdinec, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office of Public Housing Investments, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone

The waiver was granted because the BHA demonstrated that separate housing and services provided at 34 Algonquin Street would enable the target population to have the same opportunity as others to enjoy the benefits of secure affordable housing. Without units designated for members of the target population, they would not be able to maintain their position on BHA's tenant-based or project-based waiting list, because they do not have a fixed address, do not understand materials sent to them, and are frequently hospitalized. The target population also would not be successful in the housing search process, even if a voucher were issued, due to the stigma inappropriately associated with mental illness and the need for supportive services. *Contact:* Gerald Benoit, Director, Housing Vouchers Management and Operations Division, Office of Public Housing and Voucher Programs, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4210, Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone

In 2001 and 2002, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit State Qualified Allocation Plans administered by the Alabama Housing Finance Authority
(AHFA)required that a project receiving a tax credit allocation would designate no fewer than 10 percent of the units for individuals with mental illness or mental retardation (with additional points for 15 percent or more). This requirement stemmed from a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU)between AHFA and the Department of Mental Health/Mental Retardation (DMH/MR) in which the agencies agreed to require this designation in any project that received an allocation of tax credits from AHFA in 2001 and 2002. The MOU was a result of the settlement by the state of Alabama of a lawsuit entitled *Wyatt* v. *Sawyer* in which the state agreed to eliminate approximately 600 long-term care beds from DMH/MR facilities for the treatment of mental illness or mental retardation. DMH/MR's remedy to replace those beds was the preference requirement for such individuals in projects receiving tax credit allocations from AHFA. The waiver was limited to no more than 15 percent (rounded up) of the units, equivalent to six of the 37 existing units in the project. *Contact:* Gerald Benoit, Director, Housing Voucher Management and Operations Division, Office of Public Housing and Voucher Programs, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4210, Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone

Since by law only persons with HIV/AIDS may occupy units developed with HOPWA funds, a public housing agency may only authorize occupancy of such units by persons with HIV/AIDS, even if the units also receive project-based voucher assistance. Therefore, in selecting families to refer to the owner for occupancy of these units, BHA would have had to pass over persons on its waiting list until it reached a person with HIV/AIDS interested in moving into one of the units at Seton Manor. *Contact:* Gerald Benoit, Director, Housing Vouchers Management and Operations Division, Office of Public Housing and Voucher Programs, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4210, Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone

Section II, subpart E, of the initial guidance requires that in order to meet the Department's goal of deconcentration and expanding housing and economic opportunities, the projects must be in census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 percent. *Granted By:* Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. *Date Granted:* November 26, 2003. *Reason Waived:* SPPHA requested a waiver of the selection preference regulation in order to select families eligible for Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) to occupy units that will receive PBA at Martin Luther King Court, as well as an exception to the initial guidance, since the project is located in census tracts with poverty rates of 20.66 percent, 20.72 percent, and 22.75 percent. Approval to waive selection preference requirements was granted since eight units in this project were developed with HOPWA funds and none will receive rental or operating subsidy under the HOPWA program. Since by law only persons with HIV/AIDS may occupy units developed with HOPWA funds, a public housing agency may only authorize occupancy of such units by persons with HIV/AIDS, even if the units also receive PBA. Approval of the exception for deconcentration was granted since the first two duplexes are in the St. Paul Enterprise Community and the last duplex is less than one block from its southern border and should derive the same benefits. The purpose of establishing enterprise communities is to open new businesses and create jobs, housing, and new educational and healthcare opportunities for thousands of Americans. These goals are consistent with the goal of deconcentrating poverty and expanding housing and economic opportunities. *Contact:* Gerald Benoit, Director, Housing Voucher Management and Operations Division, Office of Public Housing and Voucher Programs, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4210, Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone

The waiver was granted to allow two disabled housing choice voucher participants to lease in place because they had established relationships with neighbors and friends who had been supportive. Building management had also been supportive by building a handicap ramp, establishing automatic door openers with personalized controllers, and installing low pile carpeting to make movement of their wheelchairs less burdensome in their apartments. If they had been required to move, it would have been extremely disruptive, not only to their personal and support connections, but also to their physical and mental well-being. *Contact:* Gerald Benoit, Director, Housing Voucher Management and Operations Division, Office of Public Housing and Voucher Programs, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4210, Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone

The waiver was granted to allow a disabled housing choice voucher participant to lease the proposed unit because her doctors believed that the proposed apartment unit would best accommodate her disabilities, based on environmental surroundings, familiarity, security, and its larger size. The participant was struggling to maintain her personal independence while caring for herself, and her doctors believed that the apartment unit would allow her to preserve and improve her quality of life. *Contact:* Gerald Benoit, Director, Housing Voucher Management and Operations Division, Office of Public Housing and Voucher Programs, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4210, Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone

The participant suffers from a mental condition that causes severe depression and paranoia. The waiver was granted to allow the housing choice voucher participant to remain at her current location, to maintain a stable lifestyle, and live independently. *Contact:* Gerald Benoit, Director, Housing Voucher Management and Operations Division, Office of Public Housing and Voucher Programs, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4210, Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone

The Housing Choice Voucher program participant was the head of the household and was a person with a disability who relies on a wheelchair. The unit in question was wheelchair accessible. According to the Commission only three percent of the units in this area were accessible. In addition, the Commission had been advised by the participant's doctor that relocation from his current unit would be detrimental to his health and possibly cause life-threatening deterioration. *Contact:* Gerald Benoit, Director, Housing Voucher Management and Operations Division, Office of Public Housing and Voucher Programs, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4210, Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone

(HAP)contract or otherwise committed, *e.g.* , vouchers issued to families searching for housing or units under a HAP contract. *Granted By:* Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. *Date Granted:* November 19, 2003. *Reason Waived:* EDHA requested a waiver of requirements regarding the availability of vouchers for project-based assistance, so that it could enter into an agreement for a HAP contract for White Rock Village. At the time EDCHA had a turnover rate of approximately eight vouchers per month. There were 42 vouchers that had project-based assistance attached at White Rock Village. EDCHA's intention was to stop issuing turnover vouchers in the six months immediately preceding the date anticipated for HAP contract execution to ensure that vouchers would be available for this project and that over-leasing will not occur. *Contact:* Gerald Benoit, Director, Housing Voucher Management and Operations Division, Office of Public Housing and Voucher Programs, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4210, Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone

Section II, subpart E, of the initial guidance requires that, in order to meet the Department's goal of deconcentration and expanding housing and economic opportunities, the projects be in census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 percent. *Granted By:* Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. *Date Granted:* October 20, 2003. *Reason Waived:* HACT requested a waiver of the competitive selection of owner proposals and an exception to the initial guidance to permit it to attach project-based assistance to the Oaks at Riverview located in a census tract with a poverty rate of 34 percent. Approval to waive competitive selection was granted, since the owner/developer, a team of three firms (Mid City Urban, Henson Development company and Russell New Urban Development), was competitively selected by the HACT to develop its HOPE VI units. Approval of the exception for deconcentration was granted, since the project will be a 250-unit new construction development that is part of a HOPE VI revitalization plan to replace 360 demolished public housing units of Riverview Terrace and Tom Dyer Homes. Of the 250 units at the Oaks at Riverview, 45 will receive project-based assistance and 205 units will be public housing. In addition to the units at Oaks at Riverview, the revitalization plan for the site consists of 96 homeownership units, of which 36 will be marketed to families participating in the housing choice voucher homeownership program and 60 will be market rate. *Contact:* Gerald Benoit, Director, Housing Voucher Management and Operations Division, Office of Public Housing and Voucher Programs, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4210, Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone

Approval to waive competitive selection was granted, since St. Jean Baptiste Project was competitively awarded low-income housing tax credits through the state of Massachusetts' competitive process. The project also received $550,000 in state HOME funds. Since the project was also awarded funding under two previous federal competitions, the waiver was granted. *Contact:* Gerald Benoit, Director, Housing Voucher Management and Operations Division, Office of Public Housing and Voucher Programs, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4210, Washington, DC 20410-5000, telephone

The housing authority requested permission to benefit from energy performance contracting for developments that have resident-paid utilities. The housing authority estimated that it could increase energy savings substantially, if it were able to undertake energy performance contracting for its resident-paid utilities. In September 1996, the Oakland Housing Authority was granted a waiver to permit the authority to benefit from energy performance contracting for developments with resident-paid utilities. The waiver was granted on the basis that the authority had presented a sound and reasonable methodology for doing so. In 2003, the Harrisburg Housing Authority requested a waiver based on the same approved methodology. The waiver permits the housing authority to exclude from its calculation of rental income the increased rental income due to the difference between updated baseline utility allowances (before implementation of the energy conservation measures) and revised allowances (after implementation of the measures) for the project(s) involved for the duration of the contract period, which cannot exceed 12 years. *Contact:* Chris Kubacki, Director, Public Housing Financial Management Division, Office of Public and Indian Housing Real Estate Assessment Center, 1280 Maryland Ave., SW., Suite 800, Washington, DC 20024-2135, telephone
