Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the First 
Quarter of Calendar Year 2005

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 January 1, 2005, and ending on March 31, 2005.

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 first quarter of calendar year 2005.

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 January 1, 2005, through March 31, 2005. For ease of reference, 
the waivers granted by HUD are listed by HUD program office (for 
example, the Office of Community Panning 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 first quarter of calendar 
year 2005) before the next report is published (the second quarter of 
calendar year 2005), HUD will include any additional waivers granted 
for the first 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: June 9, 2005.
Kathleen D. Koch,
Deputy General Counsel.

    For further information about the following regulatory waivers, 
please see the name of the contact person that immediately follows the

    Nature of Requirement: Section 135.38 enumerates the Section 3

    Granted by: Carolyn Peoples, Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing 
and Housing and Equal Opportunity.
    Date Granted: April 5, 2004.

Development Block Grant entitlement city, was in jeopardy of losing a 
$2.75 million grant from the United States Department of Commerce's 
Economic Development Administration (EDA) for a public parking 
structure in downtown Watsonville. The inclusion of the Section 3 
contract clause in construction contracts conflicted with EDA's 
procurement regulations.

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: Eden Green Cooperatives, Chicago, Illinois, FHA 
Project Numbers 071-55068, 071-55069, 071-55070, 071-55071.
    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. This section 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 Program loan would be repaid, in whole, at that time.
    Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: February 3, 2005.
    Reason Waived: This waiver is granted in order to allow the owners 
of Eden Green Cooperatives to repay a Flexible Subsidy Program loan. 
The owners have requested to subordinate the Flexible Subsidy Program 
loan to the new Section 221(d)(4) mortgage. The cooperative will 
transfer ownership to a new limited partnership, the Habitat Company, 
which is fully restoring the property with tax credits, FHA insurance 
and tax-exempt bonds from the City of Chicago. The cooperative voted on 
August 9, 2004, to sell four of the five mortgages covering the 
cooperative. The Habitat Company plans to return the properties to the 
residents upon expiration of the Low Income Housing Tax Credits. The 
refinance will be used to pay off the delinquent HUD-held mortgage and 
complete needed rehabilitation of the property.
    Contact: Beverly J. Miller, Director, Office of Asset Management, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 708-3730.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 401.461.
    Project/Activity: The following project requested a waiver to the 
simple interest requirement on the second mortgage to allow compound 
interest at the applicable Federal rate. (24 CFR 401.461):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
         FHA No.                     Project                 State
------------------------------------------------------------------------
08435239.................  Brookfield Apartments.....  MO
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nature of Requirement: Section 401.461 requires that the second 
mortgages have an interest rate not more than the applicable Federal 
rate. Section 401.461(b)(1) states that interest will accrue but not 
compound. The intent of simple interest instead of compound interest is 
to limit the size of the second mortgage accruals to increase the 
likelihood of long-term financial and physical integrity.
    Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: February 23, 2005.
    Reason Waived: This regulatory restriction would be construed as a 
form of Federal subsidy, thereby creating a loss of tax credit equity. 
This loss will adversely affect the ability to close the restructuring 
plan, and could cause the loss or deterioration of these affordable 
housing projects. Therefore, compound interest is necessary for the 
owners to obtain Low Income Housing Tax Credits under favorable terms, 
and in order to maximize the savings to the Federal government.

Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20410-8000, telephone (202) 708-0001.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 401.461.
    Project/Activity: The following projects requested waivers to the 
simple interest requirement on the second mortgage to allow compound 
interest at the applicable Federal rate. (24 CFR 401.461):

compound. The intent of simple interest instead of compound interest is

likelihood of long-term financial and physical integrity.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nature of Requirement: Section 401.600 requires that projects be 
marked down to market rents within 12 months of their first expiration 
date after January 1, 1998. The intent of this provision is to ensure

restructuring process.
    Granted by: John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: February 11, 2005.
