Quarter of Calendar Year 2008

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 April 1, 2008 and ending on June 30, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general information about this 
notice, contact Camille E. Acevedo, Associate General Counsel for 
Legislation and Regulations, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 10282, Washington, DC 20410-
0500, telephone 202-708-1793 (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 second quarter of calendar year 2008.

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 April 
1, 2008 through June 30, 2008. 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 second quarter of 
calendar year 2008) before the next report is published (the third 
quarter of calendar year 2008), HUD will include any additional waivers 
granted for the second 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: September 15, 2008.
Robert M. Couch,
General Counsel.

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.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 58.22(a).
    Project/Activity: The Lakeview Family Apartments project is a 
multifamily farm labor housing project in Roberts, Idaho. The project 
consists of 23 units of multifamily housing and a community building 
for classes, training, recreation, and a computer lab for residents. 
Idaho Housing Finance Association requested a waiver to allow the use 
of $1,057,490 in HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Program funds. 
Property was acquired prior to the performance of an environmental 
review.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation requires that an 
environmental review be performed and a request for release of funds be 
completed and certified prior to the

[[Page 54903]]

commitment of non-HUD funds to a project using HUD funds.
    Granted by: Nelson R. Breg[oacute]n, General Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: May 28, 2008.
    Reason Waived: The waiver was granted based on the following 
findings: The project furthered the objective of providing community 
development and affordable housing; the errors made in the 
environmental process for the commitment of non-HUD funds were made in 
good faith; and an environmental assessment concluded that the granting 
of the waiver will not result in any adverse environmental impact.
    Contact: Danielle Schopp, Office of Environment and Energy, Office 
of Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7250, Washington, DC 20410-
7000, telephone (202) 402-4442.
     Regulations: 24 CFR 92.300(a)(1).
    Project/Activity: The City of Spokane, Washington, requested a 
waiver to allow it to provide a HOME community housing development 
organization (CHDO) set-aside funds to a limited liability company 
(LLC) that has a qualified CHDO as its sole managing partner in order 
to purchase and renovate affordable rental housing in downtown Spokane.
    Nature of Requirement: The HOME regulation at 24 CFR 92.300(a)(1) 
permits a participating jurisdiction to award CHDO set-aside funds to 
limited partnerships that include a qualified CHDO as the managing 
partner. LLCs are not an allowable form of CHDO project ownership in 
the HOME Regulation.
    Granted by: Nelson R. Breg[oacute]n, General Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: April 28, 2008.
    Reasons Waived: Spokane Housing Ventures (SHV) is a local nonprofit 
organization that is designated as a CHDO by the City of Spokane. SHV 
plans to purchase and renovate the Bel Franklin Apartments in downtown 
Spokane, and the financing is to include HOME CHDO set-aside funds and 
Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). To facilitate the LIHTC 
financing, SHV formed the Bel Franklin Apartments LLC (LLC). SHV is the 
sole member of the LLC with 100 percent ownership of the project. The 
City sought to provide HOME CHDO set-aside funds to the LLC. LLCs are 
not an allowable form of CHDO project ownership in the HOME 
regulations. The City, the CHDO and the LLC have agreed that SHV would 
be the sole managing member of the Bel Franklin Apartments LLC when the 
tax credit investors are brought into the transaction and have 
effective project control over its operation. Ownership would revert to 
SHV at the end of the 15-year tax compliance period. SHV is to serve as 
the project developer and property manager. Both SHV and the LLC will 
be bound by the provisions of the HOME regulations and the partnership 
operating agreement.

Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and 
Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7154, Washington, DC 
20410, telephone (202) 708-2470.
     Regulations: 24 CFR 92.500(d)(1)(C).
    Project/Activity: The City of Alexandria, Louisiana, requested a 
waiver of its fiscal year (FY) 2003 expenditure deadline to facilitate 
its continued recovery from the devastation caused by Hurricanes 
Katrina and Rita. The City is located within a declared disaster area 
pursuant to Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act.
    Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 92.500(d)(1)(C) requires 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: July 1, 2008.
    Reasons Waived: It was determined that the waiver would facilitate 
the continued recovery of the City of Alexandria from the devastation 
caused by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. The waiver ensures that 
needed HOME funds are not de-obligated and are available to pay for 
costs incurred for projects to which HOME funds have already been 
committed.

Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and

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 203.37a(b)(2).
    Project/Activity: FHA-insured properties in certain areas that have 
been foreclosed.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulations at 24 CFR 203.37a(b)(2) 
require a 90-day waiting period for re-sales of properties to be 
eligible for FHA-insured mortgage financing with certain categorical 
exceptions. This waiver requested pertains to existing exemptions of 
those properties foreclosed on by mortgagees, their subsidiaries, as 
well as vendors hired by exempt entities to sell their real estate 
owned.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: June 9, 2008.
    Reason Waived: It was determined that waiving the regulations would 
allow properties acquired by foreclosure by FHA-approved mortgagees to 
become eligible for FHA-insured financing during the 90-day period. The 
waiver reduces holding costs to mortgage lenders and lessens the 
likelihood of property value deterioration to adjoining and near-by 
properties as well as to the properties acquired by foreclosure.
    Contact: James Beavers, Deputy Director, Office of Single Family 
Program Development, Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh St., SW., Room 9166, Washington, DC 20410-
8000, telephone (202) 708-2121.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 203.41(b).
    Project/Activity: Chequamegon Village, Bozeman, Montana, being 
purchased by two member family.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 203.41(b) of the FHA regulations in 
24 CFR part 203 provides that the mortgage shall not be eligible for 
insurance if the mortgaged property is subject to legal restrictions on 
conveyance (except as otherwise permitted under the regulations). 
Properties at Chequamegon Village contain legal restrictions limiting 
ownership to occupant mortgagors, covenants that would remain in force 
even if FHA acquired the property as the result of a foreclosure. This 
deed restriction could limit the potential pool of possible buyers and/
or reduce the proceeds of sale should FHA need to sell the property.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: May 21, 2008.
    Reason Waived: The mortgage loan proposed for the family would be 
in an amount that represents approximately 62% loan to value ratio. 
Because of the large amount of equity in the property

[[Page 54904]]

(38%), it is unlikely that FHA would incur a claim for benefits and if 
it did, it is unlikely FHA would suffer a loss. The waiver was 
determined necessary so that the family could obtain a Montana Board of 
Housing Disabled Accessible Affordable Mortgage at 2.75% financing.
    Contact: James Beavers, Deputy Director, Office of Single Family 
Program Development, Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh St., SW., Room 9166, Washington, DC 20410-
8000, telephone (202) 708-2121.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 236.725(e)(2).
    Project/Activity: Brookdale Village, Far Rockaway Queens, New 
York--FHA Project Number 012-119NI/012-11023. A request was made 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 the FHA regulations in 24 
CFR part 236 relates to rental assistance contracts, limiting such 
contracts 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: June 20, 2008.
    Reason Waived: This waiver was granted because it was determined 
that the project would be maintained as an affordable housing resource 
to the maturity date of the non-insured Section 236 mortgage plus an 
additional five years, through the execution and recording of a 
Decoupling Use Agreement. This waiver was predicated on the fact that 
the Decoupling proposal would not request an increase in the Section 
236 units, and therefore the rental assistance payment (RAP) subsidy 
would not increase as a result. Future RAP increases would be based on 
budget driven project operating cost increases that would not include 
any new debt service costs attributable to the decoupling transaction. 
The waiver was also based on the fact that the project owner enter into 
a Decoupling Use Restriction Agreement prescribed by the Section 
236(e)(2) Decoupling program.
    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 290.30(a).
    Project/Activity: 1775 Houses, New York, New York--FHA Project 
Numbers 012-57005P and 012-57005T, and AK Houses, New York, New York--
FHA Project Numbers 012-57082P and 012-57082T. The owners requested 
prepayment approval of their two respective HUD-Held mortgages. In 
addition, the owners requested HUD to assign the mortgages to the 
purchasing entity's new mortgagee for mortgage recording tax savings in 
the state of New York.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulations governing the sale of HUD-
Held mortgages are set forth in 24 CFR part 290, subpart B. Section 
290.30(a) of those regulations state that ``[e]xcept as otherwise 
provided in Section 290.31(a)(2), HUD will sell HUD-Held multifamily 
mortgages on a competitive basis.'' Section 290.31(a)(2) permits 
``negotiated'' sales to state or local governments for mortgage loans 
that are current and secured by subsidized projects, provided such 
loans are sold with FHA insurance.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: June 13, 2008.
    Reason Waived: Waiver of the regulations covering the sale of HUD-
Held mortgages to allow the non-competitive sale of the HUD-Held 
mortgages securing the project with FHA insurance was approved. Good 
cause was shown that it is in the public interest and consistent with 
HUD's objectives to waive the appropriate regulations in order to 
permit the noncompetitive sale to Prudential Affordable Mortgage 
Company. Prudential Affordable Mortgage Company will pay HUD in full 
for all loan balances.
