ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This notice implements actions to facilitate the expedited award and use of economic stimulus funds made available under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–5, approved February 17, 2009) (Recovery Act) for Native Americans. Accordingly, this notice identifies and advises the public of HUD statutes and regulations governing HUD’s Native American Housing Block Grant (NAHBG) program, also known as the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program, and the Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) program that have been waived or temporarily suspended or deferred. These waivers are authorized in order to facilitate the expedited delivery and use of Federal Recovery Act funds for NAHBG and ICDBG housing and community development initiatives that are two of several components authorized by the Recovery Act to help stimulate the economy and alleviate the effects of a national recession. These waivers apply only to assistance appropriated by the Recovery Act, both formula and competitive, and do not apply to fiscal year appropriations for the IHBG and ICDBG programs under the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 111–8, approved March 11, 2009). Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs) that administer NAHBG and ICDBG programs should review this notice to determine which program requirements if waived, will ensure that Recovery Act funds can be awarded quickly and efficiently to meet the objectives of the Recovery Act. The waivers listed in this notice are applicable only to Recovery Act funds and will remain in effect until VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:24 May 28, 2009 Jkt 217001 September 30, 2012. Tribes, Tribal organizations, and TDHEs awarded Recovery Act funds for NAHBG or ICDBG activities have been granted waiver relief from statutes or regulations identified in this Notice. DATES: Effective Date: May 29, 2009. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Deborah Lalancette, Director, Office of Grants Management, Office of Native American Programs, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 1670 Broadway, 23rd Floor, Denver, CO 80202, telephone number (303) 675– 1600 ext. 1625. Persons with hearing or speech impairments may access this number via TTY by calling the Federal Information Relay Service at (800) 877– 8339. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Information The Recovery Act was passed in recognition of the need to quickly stimulate the American economy in light of the adverse events occurring in the financial and housing markets over the preceding months. The stated goals of the Act are to: (1) Preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery; (2) assist those most impacted by the recession; (3) provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science and health; (4) invest in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits; and (5) stabilize State and local government budgets, in order to minimize and avoid reductions in essential services and counterproductive state and local tax increases. The Act specifies that Federal departments and agencies shall manage and expend the funds made available in the Act in a manner that commences expenditures and activities as quickly as possible consistent with prudent management. HUD’s Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) examined the statute and regulations governing the NAHBG and ICDBG programs and recommended waiver or temporary suspension or deferral of the statutes and regulations that PIH believes could impede Tribes, Tribal organizations, or TDHEs in their efforts to expeditiously implement Recovery Act projects and activities. Recipients of NAHBG and ICDBG Recovery Act funds may defer compliance with the requirements listed in this notice for a period of 36 months under the notification process described in this notice. For several of the regulations listed in this notice for which a waiver was PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 25761 granted, HUD did not waive the requirements entirely but deferred compliance until such time as compliance may be feasible. HUD does not want the time and resources of Tribes, Tribal organizations, and TDHEs diverted by requirements that are important but can be deferred or waived to ensure Recovery Act funds are awarded and placed under contract, in order to generate jobs and economic activity. As the economic recovery period proceeds, HUD may identify other statutory or regulatory waivers for which waiver is needed or determine that other alternative requirements may be necessary to assist with expeditious use of Recovery Act funds. Any additional HUD waivers or other alternative requirements will be announced by direct notice to Tribes and TDHEs and by Federal Register publication. If Indian Tribes and TDHEs identify other regulations that they believe should be waived, they should seek a waiver by submitting a waiver request to their Area Office of Native American Programs. II. Authority To Grant Waivers Generally, waivers of HUD regulations are handled on a case-by-case basis. The Recovery Act provided HUD with separate waiver authority. For funds appropriated for the NAHBG program, the Recovery Act authorizes HUD to waive or specify alternative requirements for any provision of any statute or regulation in connection with the obligation by the Secretary for the use of these funds (except requirements related to fair housing, nondiscrimination, labor standards, and the environment), upon a finding that such a waiver is necessary to expedite or facilitate the use of such funds. As for funds appropriated for the ICDBG program, the Recovery Act authorizes HUD to waive or specify alternative requirements for any provision of any statute or regulation in connection with the obligation by HUD or the use by a recipient of these funds (except for requirements related to fair housing, nondiscrimination, labor standards, and the environment), upon a finding that such a waiver is necessary to expedite or facilitate the timely use of such funds and would not be inconsistent with the overall purpose of the statute. III. Waivers The following statutory and regulatory waivers have been granted for recipients of NAHBG and ICDBG Recovery Act funds. E:\FR\FM\29MYN1.SGM 29MYN1
