(1)local building regulations permit the construction of experimental housing, or
(2)State or local law permits variances from building regulations in the construction of experimental housing for the purpose of testing and developing new building technologies.
(b)Approval of plans utilizing new housing technologies; considerations The Secretary shall approve not more than five plans utilizing new housing technologies which are submitted to him pursuant to the program referred to in subsection
(a)and which he determines are most promising in furtherance of the purposes of this section. In making such determination the Secretary shall consider—
(1)the potential of the technology employed for producing housing for lower income families on a large scale at a moderate cost;
(2)the extent to which the plan envisages environmental quality;
(3)the possibility of mass production of the technology; and
(4)the financial soundness of the organization submitting the plan, and the ability of such organization, alone or in combination with other organizations, to produce at least one thousand dwelling units a year utilizing the technology proposed.
(c)Number of dwelling units to be constructed for each type of technology; evaluation of projects In approving projects for mortgage insurance under section 1715x(a)(2) of this title, the Secretary shall seek to achieve the construction of at least one thousand dwelling units a year over a five-year period for each of the various types of technologies proposed in approved plans under subsection (b). The Secretary shall evaluate each project with respect to which assistance is extended pursuant to this section with a view to determining
(1)the detailed cost breakdown per dwelling unit,
(2)the environmental quality achieved in each unit, and
(3)the effect which local housing codes and zoning regulations have, or would have if applicable, on the cost per dwelling unit.
(d)Transfer of surplus property Notwithstanding the provisions of chapters 1 to 11 of title 40 and division C (except sections 3302, 3307(e), 3501(b), 3509, 3906, 4710, and 4711) of subtitle I of title 41, any land which is excess property within the meaning of chapters 1 to 11 of title 40 and division C (except sections 3302, 3307(e), 3501(b), 3509, 3906, 4710, and 4711) of subtitle I of title 41 and which is determined by the Secretary to be suitable in furtherance of the purposes of this section may be transferred to the Secretary upon his request.
(e)Report of findings; legislative recommendations The Secretary shall, at the earliest practicable date, report his findings with respect to projects assisted pursuant to this section (including evaluations of each such project in accordance with subsection (c)), together with such recommendations for additional legislation as he determines to be necessary or desirable to expand the available supply of decent, safe, and sanitary housing for lower income families through the use of technologies the efficacy of which has been demonstrated under this section.
