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 July 1, 2007 and ending on September 30, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general information about this 
notice, contact Aaron Santa Anna, Assistant General Counsel for 
Regulations, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Room 10276,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 third quarter of calendar year 2007.

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 July 
1, 2007, through September 30, 2007. 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 third quarter of calendar 
year 2007) before the next report is published (the fourth quarter of 
calendar year 2007), HUD will include any additional waivers granted 
for the third 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: December 14, 2007.
Robert M. Couch,
General Counsel.

    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 91.225(b)(4)(ii).
    Project/Activity: The City of Waterloo, Iowa, sought a waiver to 
amend its certification of its overall benefit period so that it may 
use Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to pay for 
construction of the Riverwalk Loop/reconstruction of the existing Cedar 
River Dam, which can only meet the national objective of slum/blight on 
an area basis.
    Nature of Requirement: The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 
91.225(b)(4)(ii) require that a grantee must certify it will achieve 
the primary objective of benefit to low- and moderate-income persons by 
expending 70 percent of its CDBG

[[Page 73067]]

grant for such persons over a period of one, two, or three consecutive 
program years as selected by the grantee.
    Granted by: Roy Bernardi, Deputy Secretary.
    Date: July 20, 2007.
    Reason Waived: The waiver was granted to allow the city to change 
its overall benefit certification from program years 2005-2007 to a one 
year certification period for program year 2005 and a new three year 
certification period for program years 2006-2008 in order that the city 
could carry out the Riverwalk Loop/Cedar River Dam project using the 
slum/blight area national objective.

Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7282, Washington, DC 20410-
7000, telephone (202) 402-2184, gloria.l.coates@hud.gov.

     Regulations: 24 CFR 92.500(d)(1)(B) and 24 CFR 
92.500(d)(1)(C).
    Project/Activity: The Jefferson Parish Consortium, Louisiana, 
requested a suspension of its FY 2005 commitment deadline and FY 2002 
expenditure requirement to facilitate its recovery from the devastation 
caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The Consortium is located within 
a declared disaster area pursuant to Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford 
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. The Consortium undertook 
a number of actions to expedite the use of its HOME funds, and 
completed the conditions inventory of its HOME-assisted properties that 
was previously requested by HUD.
    Nature of Requirement: The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 
92.500(d)(1)(B) require that a participating jurisdiction (PJ) commit 
its annual allocation of HOME funds within 24 months after HUD notifies 
the PJ that HUD has executed the jurisdiction's HOME Investment 
Partnership Agreement. Section 92.500(d)(1)(C) of the regulations 
require that a PJ expend its annual allocation of HOME funds within 
five years after HUD notifies the PJ that HUD has executed the 
jurisdiction's HOME Investment Partnership Agreement.
    Granted By: Nelson R. Breg[oacute]n, General Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: September 14, 2007.
    Reasons Waived: It was determined that the waiver would facilitate 
the recovery of the Jefferson Parish Consortium from the devastation 
caused by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita by suspending its FY 
2005 HOME commitment requirement and FY 2002 HOME expenditure 
requirement. It was also determined that the waiver would help ensure 
that needed HOME funds are not deobligated, and that the Consortium has 
sufficient time to rebuild its capacity and housing delivery systems.

Office of Community and Planning Development, Department of Housing and 
Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7158, Washington, DC

     Regulation: 24 CFR 570.208(a)(3).
    Project/Activity: Hillsborough County, Florida's acquisition of 
land where 160 single unit residential structures will be constructed.
    Nature of Requirement: The CDBG regulations 24 CFR 570.208(3) 
require that 100 percent of single-unit residential structures be 
occupied by low and moderate income households.
    Granted by: Roy Bernardi, Deputy Secretary.
    Date: September 27, 2007.
    Reason Waived: The waiver was granted to allow only 100 of the 160 
single-unit residential structures to be occupied by low and moderate 
income households. The Bayou Pass project is a mixed-income 
development. Hillsborough County sought to provide mixed-income housing 
targeted to a broader sector of the housing market on the basis that 
the project would increase the supply of affordable housing available 
to low- and moderate-income households as well as essential service 
personnel. Inasmuch as the objectives of the CDBG program include the 
provision of decent housing and a suitable living environment, the 
waiver was granted.
    Contact: Gloria Coates, Office of Block Grant Assistance, 
Entitlement Communities Division, Office of Community Planning and 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7282, Washington, DC 20410-
7000, telephone (202)-402-2184, gloria.l.coates@hud.gov.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 570.209(b)(3)(i)(A) and (b)(1).
    Project/Activity: Convention Center and Oceanographic Center--
Ponc[eacute], Puerto Rico.
    Nature of Requirement: The CDBG regulations at 24 CFR 
570.209(b)(3)(i)(A) and (b)(1) establish standards for evaluating 
public benefit for individual activities and in the aggregate, requires 
the grantee to make sure that at least a minimum level of public 
benefit is obtained from the expenditure of CDBG funds. In this case, 
the amount of CDBG assistance shall not exceed $50,000 per full-time 
equivalent, permanent job created or retained for individual 
activities, or $35,000 in the aggregate.
    Granted by: Roy A. Bernardi, Deputy Secretary.
    Date Granted: July 20, 2007.
    Reason Waived: The Municipality of Ponc[eacute], Puerto Rico, 
requested a waiver of 24 CFR 570.209(b)(3)(i)(A) and (b)(1) because the 
proposed use of its Section 108 Loan Guarantee request for the publicly 
owned convention center would exceed the public benefit standard for an 
individual activity of expending not more than $50,000 in CDBG 
assistance per full-time equivalent, permanent job created or retained. 
Such expenditure was also expected to prevent the Municipality from 
complying with standards for activities in the aggregate under 24 CFR 
570.209(b)(1). The development of the publicly owned convention center 
development showed good cause for the waiver because it was an economic 
development activity which was estimated to create 221 new jobs, 
primarily benefiting low and moderate income persons. Also, it would 
serve as the key anchor facility for the development of two hotels 
which would create an estimated 490 new jobs, primarily benefiting low- 
and moderate-income persons.

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 203.32(c)(3).
    Project/Activity: FHASecure.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 203.32(c)(3) of HUD's Federal 
Housing Administration (FHA) regulations provides that to be eligible 
for FHA insurance, the sum of a first mortgage with a second mortgage 
secured by the mortgaged property cannot exceed the permissible loan-
to-value applicable to the insured mortgage and cannot exceed the 
maximum mortgage limit for the area in which the property is located.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.

[[Page 73068]]

    Date Granted: September 4, 2007.
    Reason Waived: FHASecure is a temporary initiative developed to 
assist current owners of non-FHA adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) that 
have ``reset'' to large increases in mortgage payments, resulting in, 
or may result in, delinquent mortgages. The initiative permits holders 
of non-FHA (ARMs) the ability to refinance into an FHA mortgage 
insurance product. The waiver allows mortgage lenders to refinance non-
FHA ARMs where debt costs exceed the FHA loan-to-value and maximum 
mortgage amount limits.
    Contact: Maynard T. Curry, Housing Program and Policy Specialist, 
Office of Single Family Program Development, Office of Housing, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., 
Room 9266, Washington, DC 20410-8000, telephone (202) 708-2121.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 203.43(f).
    Project/Activity: Manufactured housing installation requirements in 
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designated flood zone areas 
in the State of Louisiana.
    Nature of Requirement: FHA's regulations at 24 CFR 203.43(f)(c)(i) 
provides that manufactured homes which have not been permanently sited 
for more than one year prior to application for FHA mortgage insurance, 
must have the finished grade beneath the manufactured home at or above 
the 100 year return frequency flood elevation. Section 203.43(f)(d)(ii) 
requires that manufactured homes which have been permanently erected on 
a site for more than one year prior to the date of application for 
mortgage insurance must have the finished grade beneath the 
manufactured home at or above the 100 year return frequency flood 
elevation. HUD's minimum property standards for one- and two-family 
dwellings, at 24 CFR 200.296d(c)(4)(i) provide that the elevation of 
the lowest floor in structures with basements, located in FEMA 
designated areas of special flood hazard, shall be at or above the base 
flood level (100 year flood level) required for new construction or 
substantial improvement of residential structures under regulations for 
the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) found at 44 CFR 60.3. NFIP 
installation requirements for manufactured homes are primarily set 
forth at 44 CFR 60.3(c)(6) and (12). Section 60.3(c)(6) of 44 CFR 
requires the unit to be elevated to or above the base flood elevation 
and be securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system to 
resist flotation collapse and lateral movement. Installation 
requirements for manufactured homes not subject to 44 CFR 60.3(c)(6) 
are found at 44 CFR 60.3(c)(12) and provide that the manufactured home 
be elevated so that either: (1) The lowest floor is at or above the 
base floor elevation, or (2) the manufactured home chassis is supported 
by reinforced piers or other foundation elements of at least equivalent 
strength that are no less than 36 inches in height above grade and 
securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system to resist 
floatation, collapse, and lateral movement.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: August 2, 2007.
    Reason Waived: This measure extended a waiver originally granted 
October 12, 2006, to continue to permit the placement of FHA mortgage 
insurance on manufactured homes installed in FEMA-designated flood 
plains in accordance with the NFIP installation requirements. HUD's 
installation requirements for manufactured homes were viewed as more 
strenuous than the requirements for any other form of single family 
housing.

Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., 
Room 9266, Washington, DC 20410-8000, telephone (202) 708-2121.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b).
    Project/Activity: Centennial Estates, Hamilton County, Ohio, FHA 
Project Number 046-45005, Formerly 046-44171. The owners requested a 
waiver of the regulation governing repayment of the flexible subsidy 
loan term to extend it beyond the prepayment date and the May 1, 2020, 
maturity date of the existing mortgage.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 219.220(b) of FHA's regulations 
governs the repayment 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: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: July 5, 2007.
    Reason Waived: This regulatory waiver was granted to allow 
Centennial Estates to extend the term of the flexible subsidy loan 
beyond the prepayment date and the May 1, 2020, maturity date of the 
existing mortgage. Centennial Estates obtained a section 223(a)(7) firm 
commitment from Prudential Huntoon Paige. The new committed subsidy 
balance of the interest reduction payments (IRP) is to be fully 
utilized to pay all of the principal and interest payments attributable 
to the Part-A portion of the loan. The loan is to be amortized for 25.5 
years which is 12 years beyond the unexpired term of the existing 
mortgage. Loan proceeds are to be used to cover the existing mortgage 
debt, loan closing charges and used for repairs on the project. The 
financial viability of the project will improve.

Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street, SW., Room 6160, Washington, DC 20410-8000, telephone 
(202) 708-3730.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b) (1995).
    Project/Activity: Bishop Cooperative Apartments, Wyandotte, 
Michigan, FHA Project Number 044-SH032. The owner has requested waiver 
of the regulations governing repayment of the Flexible Subsidy Note at 
the time of prepayment of an FHA-insured mortgage.
    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: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: September 17, 2007.
    Reason Waived: This regulatory waiver was granted to address the 
property's capital improvement needs. Required monthly payments will be 
decreased, improving cash flow at the property and will help alleviate 
any increases to the budget with the increased debt service. The owner

[[Page 73069]]

proposes to pay a lump sum at the time of the refinancing and fully 
retire the remaining flexible subsidy debt over the new 35-year 
mortgage term. The project will continue to operate as affordable 
housing for low- and moderate-income residents until January 1, 2053.
    Contact: Beverly J. Miller, Director, Office of Asset Management, 
Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
Seventh Street, SW., Room 6160, Washington, DC 20410-8000, telephone 
(202) 708-3730.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 236.725(e)(2).
    Project/Activity: St. Clair Village Apartments, Belleville, 
Illinois, FHA Project Number 072-011NI. Permission has been requested 
for continuation of Rental Assistance Payments (RAP) after the payoff 
of the original non-insured Section 236 mortgage under a Section 
236(e)(2) Decoupling transaction.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 236.725 of FHA's regulations limits 
the term of the rental assistance contract 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: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: July 13, 2007.
    Reason Waived: This regulatory waiver was granted 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, and therefore provided good cause for the granting of 
the waiver. This waiver was predicated on the fact that the Decoupling 
proposal did not request an increase in the Section 236 Basic Rents, 
future increases will 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 by the Section 236(e)(2) Decoupling program.
