Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the First 
Quarter of Calendar Year 2006

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, 2006, and ending on March 31, 2006.

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 2006.

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). In accordance with those procedures and with the 
requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act, waivers of 
regulations are granted by the Assistant Secretary with jurisdiction 
over the regulations for which a waiver was requested. In those cases 
in which a General Deputy Assistant Secretary granted the waiver, the 
General Deputy Assistant Secretary was serving in the absence of the 
Assistant Secretary in accordance with the office's Order of 
Succession.
    This notice covers waivers of regulations granted by HUD from 
January 1, 2006, through March 31, 2006. 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 first quarter of calendar 
year 2006) before the next report is published (the second quarter of 
calendar year 2006), 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 24, 2006.
Keith E. Gottfried,
General Counsel.

Appendix--Listing of Waivers of Regulatory Requirements Granted by 
Offices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development January 1, 
2006, Through March 31, 2006

    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 set of regulatory waivers 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.
     Regulations: 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2).
    Project/Activity: The State of Louisiana request to waive 24 CFR 
91.115(c)(2) of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program 
regulations.
    Nature of Requirement: The provisions of 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) 
require that a minimum of 30 days be allowed for public comment 
following an amendment to the state's Consolidated Plan.
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: January 20, 2006.
    Reason Waived: Given the unexpected nature of the situation, 
Louisiana's Consolidated Plan does not give the State of Louisiana the 
flexibility it needs to address the unexpected needs and

[[Page 38215]]

expenses of businesses and communities as they recover from the 
hurricanes. In order to quickly address these needs, it is appropriate 
to give the state the ability to streamline its citizen participation 
processes by reducing the public comment period from 30 to 10 days 
while still allowing for adequate public input.
    Contact: Steve Johnson, Director, State and Small Cities Division, 
Office of Block Grant Assistance, Community Planning and Development, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 7184, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-1322.

     Regulations and Statutes: 24 CFR 91.320(c) and (g)(1), 24 
CFR 91.325(b)(2)(v), 24 CFR 570.486(b); and 42 U.S.C. 5304(a)(1), 42 
U.S.C. 5306(d)(1), 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(2), 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(2)(D).
    Project/Activity: The State of Louisiana request to waive 24 CFR 
91.320(c) and (g)(1), 24 CFR 91.325(b)(2)(v), 24 CFR 570.486(b) of the 
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program regulations, and 
suspend 42 U.S.C. 5304(a)(1), 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(1), 42 U.S.C. 
5306(d)(2), and 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(2)(D) statutory requirements.
    Nature of Requirement: The provisions of 42 U.S.C. 5304(a)(1) 
require that the State's method of fund distribution provide for funds 
to be distributed to units of general local government. The provisions 
of 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(1) require that the State's CDBG funds shall be 
for use in non-entitlement areas. The provisions of 42 U.S.C. 
5306(d)(2) require that State CDBG funds are to be distributed only to 
units of general local government located in non-entitlement areas of 
the State. The provisions of 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(2)(D) require that the 
State certify that each unit of general local government to be 
distributed funds will identify its housing and community development 
needs. The provisions of 24 CFR 91.320(c) and (g)(1) require that the 
State describe its method of funds distribution, which must describe 
the criteria used to select applications from local governments for 
funding, including the relative importance of the criteria, and how all 
CDBG resources will be allocated among all funding categories and the 
threshold factors and grant size limits that are to be applied. The 
provisions of 24 CFR 570.486(b) require that units of general local 
government determine that the activity is meeting its needs in 
accordance with 42 U.S.C. 5306(d)(2)(D).
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: January 20, 2006.
    Reason Waived: HUD recognizes the critical financial need to assist 
small firms in the State of Louisiana to remain in business or to 
reopen. By allowing the State to directly carry out the Bridge Loan 
Program throughout the thirteen-parish target area (by contracting 
directly with banks), economies of scale, speed and administrative 
simplicity can be achieved. Valuable time would be lost if the State 
were to have to redesign its existing program design in order to funnel 
this funding through units of general local government. Given that the 
program, as initially implemented with State funding, is designed to 
serve businesses throughout the target area, it would present an undue 
hardship to limit the availability of CDBG assistance only to 
businesses located in non-entitlement communities.

Office of Block Grant Assistance, Community Planning and Development, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 7184, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410, telephone 202-708-1322.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 92.206(d)(5) and 24 CFR 92.502(d)(2).
    Project/Activity: The State of Nebraska request to waive 24 CFR 
92.206(d)(5) and 24 CFR 92.502(d)(2) of the HOME Program regulations.
    Nature of Requirement: The HOME final regulations at 24 CFR 
92.502(d)(2) state that, except for the 12 months following project 
completion, additional HOME assistance may not be provided to a 
previously assisted HOME project during the period of affordability.
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: March 27, 2006.
    Reason Waived: In 1994 the State of Nebraska invested HOME funds in 
the construction of a 30-unit project. This project has been 
experiencing financial problems which are expected to continue as 
capital needs over the next 20 years will exceed current reserves and 
projected revenue will be insufficient to cover the existing debt 
service. Additional HOME funds would address these anticipated 
shortfalls and to facilitate the refinancing of the first mortgage. The 
State, the Housing Authority of the County of Scottsbluff and its 
partners took necessary steps to correct many of the problems the 
project experienced and assure the viability of the project. The 
partners stabilized the vacancy rate, addressed general management 
issues, and requested a HUD-funded technical assistance workout. The 
State also agreed to invest state housing trust funds into the project 
and to reduce the interest rate on the existing HOME loan. The State, 
the Housing Authority of the County of Scottsbluff, and its partners 
exercised due diligence in their efforts to save this project.

Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 708-2684.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 92.209(h).
    Project/Activity: Arlington County, Virginia request to waive 24 
CFR 92.209(h) of the HOME regulations.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 92.208(h) of the HOME regulations 
requires participating jurisdictions (PJs) to establish a minimum 
contribution toward rent for tenants who receive HOME-funded tenant-
based rental assistance and that the subsidy paid by the PJ not exceed 
the difference between the PJ's rent standard and thirty percent of the 
family's adjusted gross income.
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: March 22, 2006.
    Reason Waived: Several families displaced by Hurricane Katrina who 
relocated to Arlington County, Virginia, were receiving insufficient or 
no assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The 
county wanted to provide the same level of assistance that would 
ordinarily be provided under FEMA's Individuals and Households Program, 
which pays the family's total monthly rent and utility costs. The 
county needed flexibility with HOME tenant-based rental assistance to 
best serve the needs of these families.

Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 708-2684.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 92.300(a)(1).
    Project/Activity: The State of Texas to waive 24 CFR 92.300(a)(1) 
of the HOME requirements.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 92.300(a)(1) of the HOME regulations 
requires that a participating jurisdiction (PJ) reserve not less than 
15 percent of each annual allocation for housing owned, sponsored or 
developed by Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) within 
24

[[Page 38216]]

months after HUD notifies the PJ that HUD has executed the 
jurisdiction's HOME Investment Partnership Agreement.
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: March 16, 2006.
    Reason Waived: In October 2005, HUD suspended section 231 of the 
National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 and the corresponding 
regulations at Sec.  92.300(a)(1) for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 due to 
Hurricane Rita. Although the State of Texas was released from the 
requirement to use 15 percent of its HOME allocation for CHDO 
activities, because fiscal year 2006 HOME allocations had not yet been 
released, the State could not put funds to immediate use to aid 
hurricane victims. The State requested permission to use unexpended 
CHDO funds from years prior to 2005 in an amount equal to 15 percent of 
its fiscal year 2006 HOME allocation for disaster-related activities 
that do not qualify as CHDO set-aside activities. Using prior years' 
unexpended CHDO funds will allow the State to address the affordable 
housing needs of victims more quickly, as the State will not receive 
its fiscal year 2006 HOME allocation until at least July 2006.
    Contact: Virginia Sardone, Office of Community Planning and 
Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 708-2684.

     Regulation and Statute: 24 CFR 570.482(f)(6) and 42 U.S.C. 
5305(e)(3).
    Project/Activity: The State of Louisiana request to waive 24 CFR 
570.482(f)(6) of the CDBG regulations, and suspend 42 U.S.C. 5305(e)(3) 
statutory requirements.
    Nature of Requirement: The provisions of 24 CFR 570.482(f)(6) 
require that the State and its grant recipients maintain sufficient 
records to demonstrate the level of public benefit. The provisions of 
42 U.S.C. 5305(e)(3) require the State to demonstrate that the public 
benefit provided by the activity is appropriate relative to the amount 
of assistance provided with the grant.
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: January 20, 2006.
    Reason Waived: Louisiana's Bridge Loan Program, as designed, will 
be funded with currently obligated, but unexpended, FY 2005 and prior 
year funds. These funds will be used to guarantee small business loans 
approved by various Louisiana banks. The State intends to reimburse the 
CDBG funds used to guarantee these loans with supplemental disaster 
funds (thus freeing up the funds for previously obligated activities). 
As this is expected to be a short-term interim financing tool, it is 
extremely unlikely that the CDBG assisted economic development 
activities will be completed during this time. Verification that the 
activities meet the public benefit standards cannot be demonstrated 
until activities are completed. It is more likely that accomplishments 
achieved by guaranteeing the small business loans will be demonstrated 
during the reporting process for the supplemental disaster allocation.

Office of Block Grant Assistance, Community Planning and Development, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 7184, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410, telephone 202-708-1322, ext. 4548.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 570.483(d).
    Project/Activity: The State of Louisiana's request to waive 24 CFR 
570.483(d) of the CDBG program requirements.
    Nature of Requirement: The provisions of 24 CFR 570.483(d) require 
certification by a unit of general local government to support the 
classification of activities as meeting the urgent need national 
objective.
    Granted By: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: January 20, 2006.
    Reason Waived: This waiver involves the Louisiana Bridge Loan 
Program, which the State intends to classify some of its activities as 
meeting the urgent need national objective. On October 28, 2005, HUD 
granted a waiver allowing Louisiana to change its certification of 
compliance with the 70 percent overall low and moderate income benefit 
requirement from a one year period to a two or three year period. This 
waiver allowed Louisiana to use a greater percentage of funds for 
activities that will meet the urgent need (or slum/blight) national 
objective. To demonstrate compliance with the urgent need national 
objective, however, the State CDBG program regulations require that ``* 
* * the unit of general local government certifies, and the state 
determines, that the activity is designed to alleviate existing 
conditions which pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or 
welfare of the community which are of recent origin or which recently 
became urgent, that the unit of general local government is unable to 
finance the activity on its own, and that other sources of funding are 
not available.'' Because the State will implement this program 
directly, units of general local government will not be involved in the 
funding process or in the determination of national objective 
compliance.

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 206.51 and the portion of 24 CFR 
234.1(a) that references the exclusion of 24 CFR 203.43f, insofar as 
these regulations collectively preclude the eligibility of individual 
manufactured housing units in condominium projects.
    Project/Activity: Lake Padden Estates Condominium, Bellingham, WA.
    Nature of Requirement: The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) 
regulations at 24 CFR 206.51 provide that a condominium unit in a 
project committed to a plan of condominium ownership acceptable to the 
Secretary can be eligible security for an insured reverse mortgage 
loan.
    Part 234 of title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) sets 
forth the eligibility requirements for insured mortgages on condominium 
units. Section 234.19(a) incorporates, by reference, various provisions 
of Subpart A of part 203 of the regulations, concerning the eligibility 
requirements of mortgages secured by 1 to 4 family dwellings insured 
under section 203 of the National Housing Act. Section 234.1(a) of 24 
CFR also lists specific provisions that are not applicable to mortgages 
secured by condominium units and are excluded from the eligibility 
requirements.
    Section 203.43f of 24 CFR establishes the eligibility requirements 
for mortgages secured by manufactured homes. The eligibility 
requirements for manufactured homes are specifically excluded in the 
list of excepted sections contained in 24 CFR 234.1(a). The exclusion 
of 24 CFR 203.43f in the condominium mortgage insurance regulations 
precludes FHA from insuring mortgages in condominium

[[Page 38217]]

projects that are comprised of manufactured housing.
    Because the condominium mortgage insurance regulations provide that 
manufactured home condominiums are not acceptable to HUD, these units 
are not eligible security under the HECM regulations. Section 206.51 of 
24 CFR incorporates HUD's condominium approval requirements, including 
the exclusion of condominium manufactured homes as eligible HECM 
security.
    Granted By: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing, 
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: March 23, 2006.
    Reason Waived: Waiving the exclusionary provision of 24 CFR 
234.1(a) pertaining to manufactured housing (i.e., the reference to 24 
CFR 203.43f), as a condition of acceptability for HECM mortgage 
insurance under 24 CFR 206.51, is necessary in order to enable the 
eligible residents of the Lake Padden Estates Condominium who are 62 
years of age or older to realize the equity in their homes using the 
HECM program as a part of their financial planning.
    Contact: Peter Gillispie, Valuation Policy Division, Department of 
Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 9270, 
Washington, DC 20410; telephone (202) 708-2121.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 236.725.
    Project/Activity: Minneapolis, Minnesota (2100 Bloomington Court 
Apartments--092-007NI). The Minneapolis Multifamily Hub has requested 
waiver of the regulation to permit the continuation of rental 
assistance payments (RAP) after the payoff of the non-insured Section 
236 mortgage (section 236 of the National Housing Act) under a Section 
236(e)(2) decoupling transaction to permit a potential annual 
distribution based on current equity.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD regulations at 24 CFR 236.725 require 
that the rental assistance contract shall be limited to the term of the 
mortgage or 40 years from the date of the first payment made under the 
contract, whichever is the lesser.
    Granted By: Frank L. Davis, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Housing--Deputy Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: January 4, 2006.
    Reason Waived: This waiver was granted on the fact that the 
decoupling proposal did not request an increase in the Section 236 
units, hence the RAP subsidy is not being increased based on this 
transaction. The RAP increases shall be based on budget driven project 
operating cost increases that will not include any new debt service 
costs attributable to the decoupling transaction. Further, this waiver 
is predicated on the project owner entering into a Decoupling Use 
Restriction Agreement prescribed in the Section 236(e)(2) Decoupling 
program. There was good cause to waive the requirement because the 
project is to be maintained as an affordable housing resource to the 
maturity date of the non-insured Section 236 mortgage plus an 
additional 5 years, through the execution and recording of a Decoupling 
Use Agreement.
    Contact: Beverly J. Miller, Director, Office of Asset Management, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., 
Room 6160, Washington, DC 20410; 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
10535067.................  St. Benedict's Manor II.  UT
04335176.................  Hillside Apartments.....  OH
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: March 6, 2006.
    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 
owner 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) 708-0614, ext. 8381.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 401.600.
    Project/Activity: The following projects requested waivers to the 
12-month limit at above-market rents (24 CFR 401.600):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
         FHA No.                    Project                 State
------------------------------------------------------------------------
06444093.................  Haydel Heights            LA
                            Apartments.
03535086.................  New Sharon Woods........  NJ
11235117.................  Roxton Arms Apartments..  TX
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nature of Requirement: Section 401.600 requires that projects be
