Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the Fourth 
Quarter of Calendar Year 2004

AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel, 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, 2004, and ending on December 31, 2004.

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 2004.

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, 2004, through December 31, 2004. 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 Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, the Office of Housing, and the 
Office of Public and Indian Housing, etc.). 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 Sec.  58.73 and 
Sec.  58.74 would appear sequentially in the listing under Sec.  58.73.
    Waiver 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 (the fourth quarter of 
calendar year 2004) before the next report is published (the first 
quarter of calendar year 2005), HUD will include any additional waivers 
granted for the fourth quarter in the next report.
    Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining 
to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this 
notice.

    Dated: April 1, 2005.
Kathleen D. Koch,
Deputy General Counsel.

     Regulations: 24 CFR 92.214(a)(6).
    Project/Activity: The State of Oregon requested a waiver of the

previously assisted with HOME funds during the period of 
affordability.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi.
    Date Granted: October 26, 2004.
    Reasons Waived: The Community Partners for Affordable Housing 
(CPAH), and its partners worked to correct physical, management and 
financial problems, they explored whether the project would be 
viable with improvements through a market study, determined what 
repairs and improvements were needed through thorough inspections, 
and secured funds for emergency repairs.

    Project/Activity: The State of West Virginia requested a waiver 
at 24 CFR 92.251(a) and 254(b)(4) to facilitate an emergency home 
repair program serving the victims of flooding in presidentially-
declared disaster areas.
    Nature of Requirement: The HOME program regulations at 24 CFR 
92.251(a) require all units rehabilitated with HOME funds to meet 
specific property standards. The HOME program regulations at 24 CFR

[[Page 18195]]

254(b)(4) requires homeownership units assisted with HOME funds to 
have after rehabilitation values that do not exceed 95 percent of 
area median purchase price.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Deputy Secretary.
    Date Granted: December 28, 2004.
    Reasons Waived: The waiver was granted to permit the state to 
respond expeditiously to the needs of affected low-income homeowners 
in the presidentially-declared disaster areas irrespective of the 
value of their homes. The waiver will also permit the state to more 
efficiently use its limited HOME funding to address only disaster-
related damage to the homes, without being required to address all 
other deficiencies in the homes.
    Contact: Shawna Burrell, Office of Community Planning and 
Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 708-
2684.
     Regulations: 24 CFR 92.252 and 254(a)(3).
    Project/Activity: The Tennessee Housing Development Agency 
(THDA) requested a waiver on behalf of the Housing Development 
Corporation Clinch Valley (HDC).

homebuyer unit that was subsequently sold and operated as rental 
unit be permitted to qualify as affordable housing under Sec.  
92.252. Section 92.254(a)(3) of the HOME Program regulations states 
that the homebuyer must be low-income and the housing must be the 
family's primary residence for the period of affordability.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Deputy Secretary.
    Date Granted: November 12, 2004.
    Reasons Waived: The purpose of conversion of the unit to rental 
housing was to preserve an affordable housing resource and meet a 
need in the community, to benefit the disabled.
    Contact: Shawna Burrell, Office of Community Planning and 
Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 708-

    Project/Activity: Dane County of Wisconsin has requested a 
waiver under 24 CFR 570.208(a)(3) of the CDBG program regulations.
    Nature of Requirements: HUD's regulations in 24 CFR 570.208 
require that at least 51 percent of the units in a multi-unit 
residential structure and 100 percent of single unit residential 
structures be occupied by low- and moderate-income households.
    Granted By: Roy A. Bernardi, Deputy Secretary.
    Date Granted: December 14, 2004.
    Reasons Waived: The waiver will allow less than 100 percent of 
the single unit structures to be sold to low- and moderate-income 
households, which will increase the supply of affordable housing 
available to such households while using a relatively modest 
investment of CDBG funds, as a proportion of the total cost. The 
granting of this waiver is consistent with the Housing and Community 
Development Act of 1974.

Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451

II. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Housing--Federal 
Housing Administration (FHA)

    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 219.220(b).
    Project/Activity: High Park Terrace Cooperative, Newark, New 
Jersey, FHA Project Number: 031-55032.
    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 mortgage insurance, prepayment of the mortgage, or a 
sale of the project. * * *'' Either 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: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: October 28, 2004.
    Reason Waived: The waiver was granted in order to allow the 
owner of High Park Terrace Cooperative to prepay the mortgage and 
forbear repayment of the outstanding Flexible Subsidy loan upon 
prepayment of the insured mortgage until January 1, 2012, the 
original insured mortgage maturity date. The cooperative has 
maintained affordability under the section 221(d)(3) Below Market 
Interest Rate (BMIR) program but has in recent years experienced 
difficulty in maintaining and improving the property due to 
budgetary constraints. The waiver allows the cooperative to prepay 
the existing mortgage and refinance to perform substantial 
rehabilitation of the property and allow the repayment of the 
Flexible Subsidy loan.
    Contact: Beverly J. Miller, Director, Office of Asset 
Management, Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-8000, 
telephone 202-708-3730.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b).
    Project/Activity: Lakeview Towers, FHA Project No: 071-55109, 
Chicago, Illinois.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 219.220(b) of HUD's regulations 
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 mortgage insurance, prepayment 
of the mortgage, or a sale of the project. * * *'' Either 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: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: October 28, 2004.
    Reason Waived: The waiver was granted to allow the owners to 
repay a Flexible Subsidy loan and refinance a section 221(d)(3) BMIR 
mortgage with a section 221(d)(4) mortgage. There is also a note 
from the Illinois Housing Development Authority in third position. 
The Flexible Subsidy note is in fourth position. Waiver of this 
regulation will allow the owner to defer payment of the Flexible 
Subsidy loan, which will then be placed in third position. The owner 
is proposing to pay off the first and second mortgages. Funds in the 
amount of $10.7 million will be made available to complete needed 
repairs and rehabilitation and allow the project to maintain rents 
at an affordable level.
    Contact: Beverly J. Miller, Director, Office of Asset 
Management, Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-8000, 
telephone 202-708-3730.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b).
    Project/Activity: Community Homes Project, Baltimore, Maryland.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 219.220(b) of HUD's regulations 
governs the prepayment of operating assistance provided under the 
Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled Projects prior to May 1, 1996 
and 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 mortgage insurance, prepayment 
of the mortgage, or a sale of the project. * * *'' Either 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: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: December 23, 2004.
    Reason Waived: The waiver was granted for the required repayment 
of the existing Flexible Subsidy note of $853,130. Flexible Subsidy 
was provided to assist the owner with repairs and upgrades in return 
for maintaining the low-income character and use of this property. 
The Flexible Subsidy note as originally written is due on sale of 
the property, refinance or prepayment of the first mortgage. The 
waiver allows transfer of the assumption of the Flexible Subsidy 
note to the new purchaser. This action is necessary to ensure the 
long-term viability of the property as a low-income housing 
resource.
    Contact: Beverly J. Miller, Director, Office of Asset 
Management, Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-8000, 
telephone 202-708-3730.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 291.100(a)(ii).
    Project/Activity: Competitive bidding on property located at 920 
Page Street, Kewanee, IL.

[[Page 18196]]

    Nature of Requirement: Section 291.100(a)(ii) of HUD's 
regulations does not permit a non-occupant mortgagor (whether an 
original mortgagor, assumption, or a person who purchased ``subject 
to'') of an insured mortgage who has defaulted, thereby causing HUD 
to pay an insurance claim on the mortgage to repurchase the same 
property.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: December 20, 2004.
    Reason Waived: Granting of the waiver advances HUD's goal of 
expanding homeownership opportunities and increase access to 
affordable housing. In addition, the sale of the property provides 
the maximum return to the mortgage insurance fund.
    Contact: Wanda Sampedro, Director of Asset Management Division, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, 
SW., Washington, DC 20410-8000, telephone 202-708-1672.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 291.570.
    Project/Activity: The waiver is applicable to the Officer Next 
Door/Teacher Next Door Sales program. The waiver was requested for 
certain owners called for active military duty during the owner-
occupancy requirement period required by the program.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 291.570 of HUD's regulations 
provides that to remain a participant in the Officer Next Door Sales 
program, the owner must, for the entire duration of the owner-
occupancy term.
    Granted By: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: December 29, 2004.
    Reason Waived: The waiver request was to allow a purchaser of a 
program home called to active military service during the first 
three years of ownership (e.g., required owner-occupant period) to 
count the service on active duty towards satisfaction of the three-
year requirement. The Department recognizes the impossibility of 
performance of the occupancy requirement by OND/TND borrowers who 
are currently fulfilling the requirements of their occupancy period, 
and are called to active military duty at posts outside the 
commuting area of their hometowns. Permitting OND/TND borrowers to 
receive credit for time served on active military duty as a credit 
against the OND/TND program occupancy requirement will not be 
detrimental to the insurance fund.

Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, 
SW., Washington, DC 20410-8000, telephone 202-708-1672.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 401.600.

    Date Granted: October 19, 2004.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 883.606(b).
    Project/Activity: Florida Housing Finance Corporation, 
Tallahassee, Florida.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 883.606(b) entitles the state 
agency to a reasonable fee, determined by HUD, for constructed or 
substantially rehabilitated units provided there is no override on 
the permanent loan granted by the state agency to the owner for a 
project containing assisted units.
    Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: November 1, 2004.
    Reason Waived: The regulation was waived in order to rectify the 
omission to earlier

[[Page 18197]]

enforce a regulatory prohibition of both contract administration 
fees and bond yield override in connection with the same project and 
neglected to issue formal waivers at the time of approval. HUD 
proposed to correct this oversight by providing agencies in 
violation of this rule an opportunity to request and justify formal 
waivers. Since the Florida Housing Finance Corporation has only used 
override revenues for projects which comply with the requirements of 
section 1012 of the McKinney Act and are allocated to the state 
agency's very-low income housing programs which conforms and 
supports the affordable housing objectives of the McKinney Act and 
HUD's bond refunding program, the waiver is granted to the 1992 
Series A General Mortgage Revenue Refunding Bonds of the Florida 
Housing Finance Corporation.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 883.606(b).
    Project/Activity: Oregon Department of Housing and Community 
Services, Salem, Oregon.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 883.606(b) entitles the state 
agency to a reasonable fee, determined by HUD, for constructed or 
substantially rehabilitated units provided there is no override on 
the permanent loan granted by the state agency to the owner for a 
project containing assisted units.
    Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: November 5, 2004.
    Reason Waived: The waiver of the regulation permits the 
collection of both contract administration fees and bond yield 
override in connection with the same projects. Since the Oregon 
Housing and Community Services Department uses override revenues for 
projects which comply with the requirements of section 1012 of the 
McKinney Act and are allocated to the state agency's very-low income 
housing programs which conforms and supports the affordable housing 
objectives of the McKinney Act and HUD's bond refunding program, the 
waiver is granted to the Series A 2004 Mortgage Revenue Refunding 
Bonds of the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department.
