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
October 1, 2022 through December 31,
2022. 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
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4703
in 24 CFR and that is being waived. For
example, a waiver of both § 58.73 and
§ 58.74 would appear sequentially in the
listing under § 58.73.
Waiver of regulations that involve the
same initial regulatory citation are in
time sequence beginning with the
earliest-dated regulatory waiver.
Additionally, this notice includes
waivers made pursuant to the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic
Security Act (CARES Act), not
previously published in the Federal
Register. These waivers are listed
separately from other individual
waivers within each program office
grouping, as CARES Act waivers
broadly covered all affected parties
rather than individual, case-by-case
situations. The lists include additional
Memoranda and Notices issued
regarding broad CARES Act waivers
provided by HUD since the enactment
of the Act on March 27, 2020. In
addition, the lists provide a short, twoor three-line description of each memo
or notice, identifying the specific
CARES Act authority and purpose of the
waivers addressed therein.
Should HUD receive additional
information about waivers granted
during the period covered by this report
(the fourth quarter of calendar year
2022) before the next report is published
(the first quarter of calendar year 2023),
HUD will include any additional
waivers granted for the fourth quarter in
the next report.
Accordingly, information about
approved waiver requests pertaining to
HUD regulations is provided in the
Appendix that follows this notice.
Damon Y. Smith,
General Counsel.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 58.22(a) Limitation
on Activities Pending Clearance.
Project/Activity: Homekey Project—
Salinas, California—Section 8 Project-based
Vouchers.
Nature of Requirement: Pursuant to 24 CFR
58.22(a) ‘‘until the RROF and the related
certification have been approved, neither a
recipient nor any participant in the
development process may commit non-HUD
funds on or undertake an activity . . . if the
activity or project would have an adverse
environmental impact or limit the choice of
reasonable alternatives.’’
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community
Planning and Development.
Date Granted: December 19, 2022.
Reason Waived: HUD may approve a
Request for a Waiver of Part 58 when a
regulatory violation has occurred, if there is
good cause to grant the waiver and no
unmitigated adverse environmental impacts
will result. HUD has reviewed the
Environmental Assessment submitted by the
City of Salinas and the City asserts the
regulatory violation was unintentional, has
committed to receiving training and technical
assistance, and the purpose of the project to
provide housing and supportive services to
the homeless furthers HUD program goals.

655–1412.
• Alternative Requirement: Alternative
requirement modifying section 105(a) of the
Housing and Community Development Act of
1974 published at section III.G.3 of the
CDBG–DR Consolidated Notice published in
the Federal Register on February 3, 2022 at
87 FR 6364 (the ‘‘February 2022 Notice’’) and
May 24, 2022 at 87 FR 31636 (the ‘‘May 2022
Notice’’).
Project/Activity: Assistance to private forprofit, non-profit, or publicly owned utilities
as part of disaster-related activities that are
eligible under section 105(a) of the Housing
and Community Development Act of 1974
and assisted with Community Development
Block Grant disaster recovery (CDBG–DR)
grants made in response to 2020 and 2021
disasters that are subject to the February 2022
Notice and the May 2022 Notice.
Nature of Requirement: In October 2021,
HUD allocated $2,051,217,000 in CDBG–DR
funds made available by Public Law 117–43
(the ‘‘Appropriations Act’’) to assist disasterrelated needs from disasters occurring in
2020. On February 3, 2022, HUD published
a Federal Register notice governing the use
of those funds (87 FR 6364). In March 2022,
HUD allocated an additional $722,688,000 in
CDBG–DR funds from the Appropriations Act
for disasters occurring in 2020 and
$2,213,595,000 in CDBG–DR funds from the
Appropriations Act for disasters occurring in
2021. On May 24, 2022, HUD published a
Federal Register notice governing the use of
those funds.
Both Federal Register notices included
HUD’s CDBG–DR ‘‘Consolidated Notice’’ as
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:08 Jul 07, 2023
Jkt 259001
Appendix B and made the Consolidated
Notice applicable to the grants announced in
those notices. Paragraph III.G.3. of the
Consolidated Notice imposes the following
alternative requirement: ‘‘Prohibiting
assistance to private utilities. HUD is
adopting the following alternative
requirement to section 105(a) and prohibiting
the use of CDBG–DR funds to assist a
privately-owned utility for any purpose.’’
Granted By: Adrianne Todman, Deputy
Secretary Housing and Urban Development.
Date Granted: December 12, 2022.
Reason Modified: The Continuing
Appropriation Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117–180),
approved on September 30, 2022,
appropriated an additional $2,000,000,000
for 2021 and 2022 disasters. The funds under
Public Law 117–180 are available ‘‘for the
same purposes and under the same terms and
conditions’’ as funds appropriated under
Public Law 117–43 with a few exceptions.
One of the exceptions is that amounts made
under Public Law 117–180 and 117–43 ‘‘may
be used by a grantee to assist utilities as part
of a disaster-related eligible activity under
section 105(a) of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974 (42
U.S.C. 5305(a)).’’
To comply with this new provision
governing assistance to utilities, HUD made
Section III.G.3 of the CDBG–DR Consolidated
Notice inapplicable for disasters occurring in
2020 and 2021, and instead imposed a
replacement alternative requirement that was
added as paragraph IV.A.4. within the
February 2022 Notice and the May 2022
Notice. While it is possible that not every
CDBG–DR assisted utility will serve
predominantly low-and moderate-income
(LMI) populations, HUD recognizes that LMI
populations would benefit especially from
the increased resilience and recovery of
private utilities. HUD also recognizes that
privately-owned, for-profit utilities have a
means of obtaining private investment or
otherwise recapturing costs from ratepayers.
Therefore, HUD’s replacement alternative
requirement includes basic safeguards that
HUD has determined are necessary to ensure
that costs comply with the certification
CDBG–DR grantee must make to give
maximum feasible priority to activities that
benefit LMI persons and that costs are
necessary and reasonable and do not
duplicate other financial assistance.
Specifically, the funded activity must
comply with all requirements that apply to
the use of grant funds. Additionally, grantees
carrying out activities that assist private, forprofit utilities must priorities assistance to
for-profit utilities that will benefit areas
where at least 51 percent of the residents are
low- and moderate-income persons and
demonstrate how the assistance will benefit
those areas. Additionally, the grantee must
document that the level of assistance
provided to a private, for-profit utility
addresses only the actual identified needs of
the utility, and establish policies and
procedures that establish a mix of financing
terms (loan, forgivable loan, and/or grant) for
each assisted private, for-profit utility, based
on the business’s financial capacity. The
modified alternative requirement also makes
clear that assistance to utilities is subject to
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4703
43909
all other requirements that apply to the use
of funds, consistent with the requirement in
Public Law 117–180 that funds must be for
an ‘‘eligible activity under section 105(a).’’
Applicability: The replacement alternative
requirement added by the December 12, 2022
alternative requirement as a new paragraph
IV.A.4. within the February 2022 Notice and
the May 2022 Notice is applicable to all
CDBG–DR funds appropriated for major
disasters occurring in 2020 and 2021 under
Public Law 117–43.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k);
24 CFR 91.115 (c)(2), and (i); and 24 CFR
91.401.
Project/Activity: The Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico and any HUD Community
Planning and Development (CPD) grantee
located in the county equivalents
(municipios) included in the declareddisaster area (see DR–4671–PR) seeking to
expedite action in response to Hurricane
Fiona, upon notification to the Community
Planning and Development Director in its
respective HUD Field Office. This authority
is in effect for grantees in the areas covered
by the major disaster declaration under Title
IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act),
DR–4671–PR, dated September 21, 2022, as
may be amended (the ‘‘Hurricane Fiona
declared-disaster areas’’) and is limited to
facilitating preparation of substantial
amendments to FY 2022 and prior year plans.
Nature of Requirement: The regulations at
24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k); 24 CFR
91.115(c)(2) and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401

the development of a consolidated plan and
prior to the implementation of a substantial
amendment.
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community
Planning and Development.
Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and
amended December 8, 2022.
Reason Waived: Several CPD grantees were
affected by Hurricane Fiona that hit Puerto
Rico on September 17, 2022. As a result of
substantial property loss and destruction,
many individuals and families residing in the
Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas were
displaced from their homes, including
beneficiaries of various CPD programs, and
families eligible to receive CPD program
assistance. The waiver granted will allow
grantees to expedite recovery efforts for lowand moderate-income residents affected by
the property loss and destruction resulting
from this event.

Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal

Planning and Development.
Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and

Reason Waived: As stated above, several
CPD grantees were affected by Hurricane
Fiona that hit Puerto Rico on September 17,
2022. As a result of substantial property loss
and destruction, many individuals and
families residing in the Hurricane Fiona
declared-disaster areas were displaced from

circumstances and provide that level of
notice and opportunity to comment when
amending prior year plans in response to the
disaster.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 570.207(b)(4).
Project/Activity: All CDBG grantees located
within and outside declared disaster areas
assisting persons and families who have
registered with FEMA in connection with
Hurricane Fiona.
Nature of Requirement: The CDBG
regulations at 24 CFR 570.207(b)(4) prohibit
income payments, but permit emergency
grant payments for three months. ‘‘Income
payments’’ means a series of subsistence-type
grant payments made to an individual or
family for items such as food, clothing,
housing (rent or mortgage), or utilities.
Emergency grant payments made over a
period of up to three consecutive months to
the providers of such items and services on
behalf of an individual or family are eligible
public services.
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community
Planning and Development.
Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and
amended December 8, 2022.
Reason Waived: HUD waives the
provisions of 24 CFR 570.207(b)(4) to permit

20:08 Jul 07, 2023
Jkt 259001
emergency grant payments for items such as
food, clothing, housing (rent or mortgage), or
utilities for up to six consecutive months.
While this waiver allows emergency grant
payments to be made for up to six
consecutive months, the payments must still
be made to service providers as opposed to
the affected individuals or families. Many
individuals and families have been forced to
abandon their homes due to the damage
associated with Hurricane Fiona. The waiver
will allow CDBG grantees, including grantees
providing assistance to evacuees outside the
Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas, to
pay for the basic daily needs of individuals
and families affected by the hurricane on an
interim basis. This authority is in effect
through the end of the grantee’s 2023
program year. This waiver aligns with
waivers currently in effect for CDBG
coronavirus (CDBG–CV) grants. The sixmonth periods allowed by waiver for CDBG
and CDBG–CV shall not be used
consecutively for the same beneficiary.

Reason Waived: In 2020, CPD began
issuing waivers of regulatory authority
available on a nationwide basis with a
simplified opt-in process to help recipients
prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID–
19. Between March 31, 2020, and December
30, 2021, CPD published several memoranda

Mega-Waiver for Hurricane Ian—Housing
Opportunities for Persons Withs AIDS
(HOPWA) Program
On October 3, 2022, HUD issued a
memorandum offering waivers of certain
statutory and regulatory requirements
associated with several Community Planning
and Development (CPD) grant programs to
address damage and facilitate recovery from
Hurricane Ian in areas covered by a major
disaster declaration under Title IV of the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act),
DR–4673–FL, dated September 29, 2022, as
may be amended (the ‘‘declared-disaster
areas’’). The October 3, 2022, memorandum
was updated on December 8, 2022, to clarify
the documentation requirements to support
the use of some waivers to assist impacted
individuals and provide greater clarity on the
use of some waivers outside of the declared
disaster area. The following summarizes the
waivers available for HOPWA grantees.
• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2),
Housing Quality Standards.
Project/Activity: The property standard
requirements in 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2) are
waived for units in the declared-disaster
areas that are or will be occupied by HOPWA
eligible households, provided that the units
are free of life-threatening conditions as
defined in Notice PIH 2017–20 (HA).
Grantees must ensure that these units meet
HOPWA housing quality standards within 60
days of October 3, 2022.
Nature of Requirement: Section
574.310(b)(2) of the HOPWA regulations
provides minimum housing quality standards
that apply to all housing for which HOPWA
funds are used for acquisition, rehabilitation,
conversion, lease, or repair; new construction
of single room occupancy dwellings and
community residences; project or tenantbased rental assistance; or operating costs
under 24 CFR 574.300(b)(3), (4), (5), or (8).
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community
Planning and Development.
Date Granted: October 3, 2022.
Reason Waived: This waiver is required to
enable grantees and project sponsors to
expeditiously meet the critical housing needs
of the many eligible families in the declared
disaster areas.

AIDS Housing, Office of Community

amy.l.palilonis@hud.gov.
• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2), Rent
Standard.
Project/Activity: The rent standard
requirement is waived for any rent amount
that takes effect during the two-year period
beginning on October 3, 2022, for any
individual or family who is renting or
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:08 Jul 07, 2023
Jkt 259001
executes a lease for a unit in the declared
disaster areas. This waiver would apply for
twelve months from the date of the execution
of the lease under the waived rent standard
requirement. Grantees and project sponsors
must still ensure the reasonableness of rent
charged for units in the declared-disaster
areas in accordance with 574.320(a)(3).
Nature of Requirement: Grantees must
establish rent standards for their rental
assistance programs based on FMR (Fair
Market Rent) or the HUD-approved
community-wide exception rent for unit size.
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community
Planning and Development.
Date Granted: October 3, 2022.
Reason Waived: This waiver is required to
enable HOPWA grantees to expedite efforts to
meet the critical housing needs of lowincome people living with HIV and their
families in the declared-disaster areas. Under
the programmatic requirements at 24 CFR
574.320(a)(2), the rent standard shall be no
more than the published section 8 fair market
rent (FMR) or the HUD-approved
community-wide exception for the unit size.
In addition, on a unit-by-unit basis, the
grantee may increase that amount by up to
10 percent for up to 20 percent of the units
assisted. Notice CPD–22–10 Clarification of
Rent Standard Requirement for the Housing
Opportunities for Persons With AIDS
(HOPWA) Program provides additional
clarity and flexibility on how HOPWA
grantees can administer the rent standard in
accordance with 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2) and
the Regulatory and Administrative
Requirement Waivers and Flexibilities
Available to HUD Public Housing and
Section 8 During CY 2022 and CY 2023 to
Public Housing Agencies To Assist With
Recovery and Relief Efforts on Behalf of
Families Affected by Presidentially Declared
Disasters, 87 FR 469 (Section 8 Disaster
Notice) provides additional rent standard
flexibility in presidentially declared disaster
areas.
Due to the extensive damage to housing
units in the declared disaster area and the
need to ensure safe and decent units are
immediately available to eligible households
to prevent homelessness and protect the
health of the people with HIV served under
the program, HUD has determined that it is
not practicable for grantees to be held to the
rent standards in 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2) even
with the additional flexibilities under Notice
CPD–22–10 and the Section 8 Disaster
Notice. Waiving the rent standard
requirement, while still requiring that the
unit be rent reasonable in accordance with
§ 574.320(a)(3), will make more units
immediately available to HOPWA eligible
individuals and families in need of
permanent housing in the declared-disaster
areas and will help to quickly stabilize their
housing and health.

Project/Activity: The recordkeeping
requirement at 24 CFR 574.530 is waived to
the extent necessary to allow HOPWA
grantees, located within and outside of the
declared disaster areas, to assist displaced
persons and families, provided that the
grantees (1) require written certification of
HIV status and income of such individuals
and families seeking assistance and (2) obtain
source documentation of HIV status and
income eligibility within six months of
October 3, 2022.
Nature of Requirement: Each grantee must
maintain records to document compliance
with HOPWA requirements, which includes
determining the eligibility of a family to
receive HOPWA assistance.
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community
Planning and Development.
Date Granted: October 3, 2022.
Reason Waived: This waiver will permit
HOPWA grantees and project sponsors,
located within and outside of the declareddisaster areas, to rely upon a family
member’s self-certification of income and
HIV status in lieu of source documentation
to determine eligibility for HOPWA
assistance for individuals and families
displaced by the disaster. Many individuals
and families displaced by the disaster whose
homes have been destroyed or damaged will
not have immediate access to documentation
of income or medical records and, without
this waiver, will be unable to document their
eligibility for HOPWA assistance.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.530,
Recordkeeping.
Project/Activity: The recordkeeping
requirement at 24 CFR 574.530 is waived to
the extent necessary to allow HOPWA
grantees, located within and outside of the

declared disaster areas, to assist displaced
persons and families, provided that the
grantees (1) require written certification of
HIV status and income of such individuals
and families seeking assistance and (2) obtain
source documentation of HIV status and
income eligibility within six months of
February 9, 2023.
Nature of Requirement: Each grantee must
maintain records to document compliance
with HOPWA requirements, which includes
determining the eligibility of a family to
receive HOPWA assistance.
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community
Planning and Development.
Date Granted: February 9, 2023.
Reason Waived: This waiver will permit
HOPWA grantees and project sponsors,
located within and outside of the declareddisaster areas, to rely upon a family
member’s self-certification of income and
HIV status in lieu of source documentation
to determine eligibility for HOPWA
assistance for individuals and families
displaced by the disaster. Many individuals
and families displaced by the disaster whose
homes have been destroyed or damaged will
not have immediate access to documentation
of income or medical records and, without
this waiver, will be unable to document their
eligibility for HOPWA assistance.

Mega-Waiver for Alabama Severe Storms,
Straight-Line Winds, and Tornadoes—
Housing Opportunities for Persons Withs
AIDS (HOPWA) Program
On February 9, 2023, HUD issued a
memorandum offering waivers of certain
statutory and regulatory requirements
associated with several Community Planning
and Development (CPD) grant programs to
address damage and facilitate recovery from
California severe winter storms, flooding,
landslides, and mudslides in areas covered
by a major disaster declaration under Title IV
of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act),
DR–4684–AL, dated January 15, 2023, as may
be amended (the ‘‘declared-disaster areas’’).
• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2),
Habitability Standards.
Project/Activity: The habitability
requirements in 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2) are
waived for units in the declared-disaster
areas that are or will be occupied by
HOPWA-eligible households, provided that
the units are free of life-threatening
conditions as defined in Notice PIH 2017–20
(HA). Grantees must ensure that these units
meet HOPWA habitability standards within
60 days of the date of February 9, 2023.
Nature of Requirement: Section
574.310(b)(2) of the HOPWA regulations
provides minimum habitability standards
that apply to all housing for which HOPWA
funds are used for acquisition, rehabilitation,
conversion, lease, or repair; new construction
of single room occupancy dwellings and

under 24 CFR 574.300(b)(3), (4), (5), or (8).
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community
Planning and Development.
Date Granted: February 9, 2023.
Reason Waived: This waiver is required to
enable grantees and project sponsors to
expeditiously meet the critical housing needs
of the many eligible families in the declared
disaster areas.

AIDS Housing, Office of Community

• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.320(a)(1),
Maximum Subsidy.
Project/Activity: Provided that the
maximum subsidy is otherwise calculated as
provided by 574.320(a)(1), the requirement to
use the rent standard as provided by
574.320(a)(1) is waived. This waiver applies
to the calculation of rental assistance for any
rent amount that takes effect during the twoyear period beginning on February 9, 2023,
for any individual or family who is renting
or executes a lease for a unit in the declareddisaster areas. This waiver would apply for
twelve months from the date of the execution
of the lease. Grantees and project sponsors
must still ensure the reasonableness of rent
charged for units in the declared-disaster
areas in accordance with 574.320(a)(3).
Nature of Requirement: The amount of
grant funds used to pay monthly assistance
for an eligible person may not exceed the
difference between: (i) The lower of the rent
standard or reasonable rent for the unit; and
(ii) The resident’s rent payment calculated
under 574.310(d).
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community
Planning and Development.
Date Granted: February 9, 2023.
Reason Waived: Permitting the maximum
rental assistance subsidy to be calculated
under 24 CFR 574.320(a)(1) without regard to
the rent standard would enable HOPWA
grantees to expedite efforts to meet the
critical housing needs of low-income people
living with HIV and their families in the
declared-disaster areas. Under the
programmatic requirements at 24 CFR
574.320(a)(2), the rent standard shall be no
more than the published section 8 fair market
rent (FMR) or the HUD-approved
community-wide exception for the unit size.
In addition, on a unit-by-unit basis, the
grantee may increase that amount by up to
10 percent for up to 20 percent of the units
assisted. Notice CPD–22–10 Clarification of
Rent Standard Requirement for the Housing
Opportunities for Persons With AIDS

10 and the Section 8 Disaster Notice. Waiving
the requirement to use the rent standard in

while still requiring that the unit be rent
reasonable in accordance with 574.320(a)(3),

until the earlier of the end of the program
participant’s otherwise allowable term of
assistance or the end of the period of
performance/approved budget period(s) for
the recipient’s grant(s) covered by the waiver.

ESG—Restriction of Rental Assistance to
Units With Rent at or Below FMR
• Regulation: 24 CFR 576.106(d)(1).
Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR
576.106(d)(1) provides that rental assistance
cannot be provided unless the total rent is
equal to or less than the FMR established by
HUD, as provided under 24 CFR part 888,
and complies with HUD’s standard of rent
reasonableness, as established under 24 CFR
982.507.
The following table provides a summary of
the waivers HUD provided with respect to
this requirement in accordance with the
expedited waiver process described in Notice
CPD–22–09, which is available at
www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/OCHCO/
documents/2022-09cpdn.pdf.
Project/Activity: Notice CPD–22–09
authorized expedited processing of recipient
requests to waive the FMR-based limitation
in 24 CFR 576.106(d)(1), so that a recipient
can provide rental assistance to program
participants in units that are above FMR, so
long as the rent is reasonable when compared
to other similar unassisted units. However, to
be considered for expedited processing, the
waiver request must specify the period
during which the recipient needs to house
program participants using this flexibility,
and that period must not extend beyond
March 31, 2023, although the recipient may
request that the waiver remain applicable to
any unit in which a program participant is
assisted during that time period may
continue to benefit from this waiver through
until the earlier of the end of the program
participant’s otherwise allowable term of
assistance or the end of the period of
performance/approved budget period(s) for
the recipient’s grant(s) covered by the waiver.

Code Key for Reasons Waived:
A. Potential negative impacts of the
pandemic on providing assistance to program
participants, including the delay of
identifying housing due to increased rental
rates, low vacancy rates, challenges securing
lower rates due to landlord trepidation or the
onset of housing instability.
B. Local pandemic-specific delays or
limitations (e.g., social distancing
requirements, delays in obtaining necessary
paperwork due to office closures or staffing
shortages, low vaccination rates or high
hospitalization rates of people experiencing
homelessness, lower wages or higher
unemployment rates).

number (202) 708–4300.
Granted by: Julia R. Gordon, Assistant
Secretary for Housing—FHA Commissioner.
Date Granted: December 19, 2022.
Reason Waived: HUD’s servicing
requirement for FHA-insured forward
mortgages requires that a mortgagee conduct
a face-to-face interview with the borrower,
which is not practical given the public health
recommendations being disseminated by
local, state, and federal government agencies
to limit contact between individuals, in order
to contain the spread of the COVID–19 virus
and its variants. HUD recognizes that, beyond
government recommendations, there is
public concern about possible transmission
of COVID–19 from in-person contact, and
that mortgagees and borrowers may be
hesitant to meet in-person. FHA-approved
mortgagees have been able to successfully
establish contact with borrowers through
alternate methods, gather and convey
required information, and determine the
borrower’s circumstances and appropriate
repayment plans, as required by 24 CFR
203.604, without a face-to-face interview.
The waiver was granted to protect the public
health while ensuring delinquent borrowers
were provided the opportunity to learn about
options available to bring their mortgages
current.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b)(1995)
‘‘Payment and Repayment of Operating
Assistance’’ of the Federal Housing
Administration’s (FHA) regulations’’.
Project/Activity: Redeemers Arms aka Dale
Street Place FHA No. 092–SH017T.
Nature of Requirement: That provision sets
forth the requirements that govern the
repayment of operating assistance under the
Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled
Projects 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 sale of the project.’’
Granted by: Julia R. Gordon, Assistant
Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing
Commissioner.
Date Granted: December 15, 2022.
Reason Waived: The regulation at 24 CFR
219.220(b)(1995) was waived to permit the
deferment of the outstanding balance of the
Flexible Subsidy Loans, plus accrued
interest, for Redeemers Arms aka Dale Street
Place, and permit the Owner to repay the
loans through a repayment plan. The waiver
allowed the owner to refinance the property

the description of the waiver granted.
• Regulation: 24 CFR 203.604 Contact with
the Mortgagor.
Project/Activity: Temporary, Partial Waiver
of Servicing Mortgagee’s Responsibility to
Contact Mortgagor in Person.
Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 203.604
Contact with the Mortgagor, under Mortgagee
Actions under Subpart C—Servicing
Responsibilities of 24 CFR part 203 Single
Family Insurance, requires mortgagees to
have a face-to-face interview with the
mortgagor, or make a reasonable effort to
arrange such a meeting, before three full
monthly installments due on the mortgage
are unpaid. If default occurs in a repayment
plan arranged other than during a personal
interview, the mortgagee must have a face-toface meeting the mortgagor, or make a
reasonable attempt to arrange such a meeting
within 30 days after such default and at least
30 days before foreclosure is commenced, or
at least 30 days before assignment is
requested if the mortgage is insured on
Hawaiian home land pursuant to section 247
or Indian land pursuant to section 248 or if
assignment is requested under § 203.350(d)
for mortgages authorized by section 203(q) of
the National Housing Act.

regulatory waivers, please see the name of
the contact person that immediately follows
the description of the waiver granted.
• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.161 (a).
Project/Activity: Morgan Metropolitan
Housing Authority’s request to waive HCV
regulation stating any present or former
member/officer of PHA may not have any
direct or indirect interest in the HAP
contract.
Nature of Requirement: The regulation at
24 CFR 982.161 (a) allows HUD to evaluate
good cause on a case-by-case basis based
primarily (though not exclusively) on the
needs of assisted families directly affected by
removal of the units in question from the
affordable housing inventory in a rural area
without expansive amounts of other rental
housing available.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: October 5, 2022.
Reason Waived: In May of 2022, the former
Executive Director of MMHA, Ms. Haley
Hook, discovered that she would be violating
Section 13 of HUD Form 5264 by allowing
her husband to participate as a landlord in
MMHA’s housing programs; she
subsequently resigned. Upon resignation, her
spouse (Mr. John Patterson) would like to
continue participating in the Housing Choice
Voucher Program as a landlord without
waiting the one-year period outlined in
Section 13 of the HAP contract and
§ 982.161(a). Mr. Patterson currently serves
five clients through MMHA’s Housing Choice
Voucher program. MMHA has stated that Mr.
Patterson’s participation is essential to this
PHA because Morgan County substantially
lacks available, affordable housing and the
participation of landlords. MMHA is a small
rural housing authority located in
southeastern Ohio. MMHA has also
represented that terminating the HAP
contracts would result in an undue burden
on the five HCV participants living in an area
where it would be difficult to locate and
obtain other HCV eligible units.

• Regulation: SEMAP 24 CFR 985.101 (a).
Project/Activity: Irvington HA requests a
waiver of 24 CFR 985.101 submission of the
SEMAP certification form within 60 days
after the FYE: 3/31/2022.
Nature of Requirement: This regulation
states that a public housing agency (PHA)
must submit the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) required SEMAP
certification form within 60 calendar days
after the end of its fiscal year. The PHA’s
fiscal year ended on March 31, 2022; the
SEMAP certification was due on or before
May 30, 2022.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: October 10, 2022.
Reason Waived: On April 5, 2022, the
Irvington Housing Authority went into
receivership. The Interim Executive Director
resigned around the end of May 2022, which
disrupted the agency’s operations including
the submission of the SEMAP certification in
a timely manner. IHA has a new staff member
ready to submit upon approval and plans to
train an additional person to serve as backup
to prevent further interruptions.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 983.
Project/Activity: Pursuant to 24 CFR 5.110,
the Pender County Housing Authority
(PCHA), NC173, requests a waiver of the
federal regulations within 24 CFR 983 that
outline requirements for selection of a
project-based voucher proposal, selection
procedures for PHA-owned units, as well as
restrictions on the term of a resulting HAP
Contract.
Nature of Requirement: Based on the
request, the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) has identified the
following regulations necessitating a waiver:
24 CFR 983.51, which provides for owner
proposal selection procedures; and 24 CFR
983.59(a), which provides for selection
procedures for public housing authority
(PHA) owned units in accordance with 24
CFR 983.51(e).
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: November 1, 2022.
Reason Waived: In December 2009, the
PBC assistance was renewed and converted
under a ten-year PBV HAP contract, covering
the term of 2009–2019, however, this
contract expired under a former Executive
Director, and the expired HAP contract was
identified during a recent Calculation of
HAP, Adjusted Income and Rent (CHAIR)
Review, conducted by Public and Indian
Housing (PIH) Quality Assurance Division
(QAD). The PHCA would like to provide PBV
assistance to the units, notwithstanding the
contract’s expiration. This requires a waiver
of the regulatory requirements specified in
the first paragraph of this letter regarding
project selection. It further requires the
PHCA to determined that all other PBV
statutory and regulatory requirements are met
regarding the PBV program. The apartments

meet the definition of PHA-owned and in
2011, a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) was executed between PCHA and the
Wilmington Housing Authority (WHA) for
WHA to conduct HQS inspections for the
units. Additionally, PCHA has been informed
that additional efforts will be necessary to
bring the program into compliance for PHAowned units, and PCHA must execute
agreements for all PBV functions to be
performed by an Independent Entity. Further,
PCHA has been advised that its
administrative plan must be updated to
ensure all appropriate policies and
provisions for administration of the PBV
program.

submission rule).
Project/Activity: Regional Housing
Authority (RHA–CA048) requests waiver of
the Section Eight Management Assessment
Program (SEMAP) regulation, 24 CFR
985.101(a)
Nature of Requirement: This regulation
states that a public housing agency (PHA)
must submit the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) required SEMAP
certification form within 60 calendar days
after the end of its fiscal year. The PHA’s
fiscal year ended on March 31, 2022; the
SEMAP certification was due on or before
May 30, 2022.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: November 10, 2022.
Reason Waived: On May 31, 2022, the RHA
attempted to submit its SEMAP certification
but was denied access due to late
submission. You stated that your agency was
going through its financial audit the week
prior to the submission deadline. As a result,
the staff was unavailable to submit the
SEMAP certification due to their time being
occupied by the auditors. In addition, you
mentioned that the office was closed for
Memorial Day on May 30, 2022, and that the
COVID–19 pandemic caused staff shortage
(which also contributed to the late
submission).

Jkt 259001
Nature of Requirement: The ACHA seeks
exception 24 CFR 982.503(C)(3) which would
allow the HA to adopt payment standards
about 120 percent of the Small Area Fair
Market Rent. ACHA asserts this approval is
necessary to prevent financial hardship for
families as current payment standards in
high priority neighborhoods are not
adequate, and families that move under the
HUD demonstration would otherwise
experience significant rent burdens.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: November 30, 2022.
Reason Waived: ACHA has provided good
cause for waiving 24 CFR 982.503(b)(1)(iv).
In order to achieve the goals of the
Community Choice Demonstration, and to
provide access to low-poverty neighborhoods
for families in their voucher program, ACHA
needs to establish exception payment
standards over 110 percent of the SAFMR,
where justified by statistically representative
housing survey data.

• Regulation: CFR 982.517(b)(1) and 24
CFR 983.301(f)(2)(ii).
Project/Activity: The Housing Commission
of Talbot (HCT).
Nature of Requirement: The Housing
Commission of Talbot (HCT), has submitted
a request to waive 24 CFR 982.517(b)(1) and
24 CFR 983.301(f)(2)(ii), which require that
the utility schedule be determined based on
the typical cost of utilities and services paid
by energy conservative households that
occupy housing of a similar size and type in
the same locality, and prohibits PHAs from
establishing or applying different utility
allowance amounts for the PBV program as
the same utility allowance schedule applies
to both tenant-based vouchers and projectbased vouchers. For HUD to consider such a
waiver, the public housing agency (PHA)
should submit: (a) an analysis of utility rates
for the community; (b) an estimate of energy
consumption that will take place at the
newly constructed site; and (c) a proposed
alternative methodology for calculating
utility allowances on an ongoing basis.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: November 30, 2022.
Reason Waived: The information submitted
to HUD by HCT supports its request. The
HCT has submitted an analysis of utility rates
for the community andan estimate of the
energy consumption that will take place at
the newly constructed site. Due to the energy
efficient systems being built at the
Doverbrook Apartments, the community
consumption estimates are significantly
higher than the consumption expected at the
site. Therefore, since HCT has demonstrated
that the utility allowance provided under the
HCV program would discourage conservation
and ultimately lead to inefficient use of HAP
funds at the Doverbrook Apartments, I have
determined that there is good cause to waive
24 CFR 983.301(f)(2)(ii) and 24 CFR 982.517.

Project/Activity: Municipal Housing
Agency of Council Bluff’s requests approval
for SEMAP late submitter waiver pursuant to
the 60 day submission rule codified in 24
CFR 985.
Nature of Requirement: This regulation
states that a public housing agency (PHA)
must submit the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) required SEMAP
certification form within 60 calendar days
after the end of its fiscal year. The PHA’s
fiscal year ended on December 31, 2021; the
SEMAP certification was due on or before
March 1, 2022.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: December 5, 2022.
Reason Waived: On February 25, 2022, the
MHACB submitted its SEMAP on time but
failed to complete the online certification
due to difficulty entering the data into the
PIC system. The agency’s request states that
they experienced challenges due to their
SEMAP contact being new to the process and
that they made efforts to reach out to HUD
to address the issue.

housing assistance program (HAP) contract or
in any benefits or payments under the

Nature of Requirement: The regulation at
24 CFR 982.161(c), and the HAP contract,

by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) for good cause.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: December 14, 2022.
Reason Waived: Upon resignation, Mr.
Hankerson would like to continue
participating in the HCV program as a
landlord without waiting the one-year period
outlined in Section 13 of the HAP contract
and § 982.161(a). OHA has stated that Mr.
Hankerson’s participation is essential
because the city of Oakland’s housing supply
is extremely limited and terminating the HAP
contracts would result in the unfair
displacement of the two HCV participants
living in an area where it would be difficult
to locate and obtain other HCV eligible units.

at 24 CFR 982.161(a), which states, in part,

any direct or indirect interest in the housing

Nature of Requirement: The regulation at

by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) for good cause.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: December 14, 2022.
Reason Waived: Per the request, Mr. Justin
Taylor, Mayor of Carbondale, owns the unit
where Mr. Jerry Thomas currently resides
(and was living) when he was issued a
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) in February
of 2022. CHA became aware of the conflict
in March of 2022 (after the HAP was
executed) and when Mayor Taylor informed
their HCV coordinator of the situation. At the
time the voucher was issued, the HCV
coordinator was unaware of a potential
conflict, as the rental property was listed in
Mayor Taylor’s business name. As Mayor,
Mr. Taylor recommends candidates to serve
on the board of the CHA, the city council
approves the appointments, and the mayor
does not have any functions or duties related
to the administration of the HCV program.

Reason Waived: CMHA exerts that its

Reason Waived: SHA seeks to be waived
from its FYE September 30, 2021, audited
financial reporting requirements, pursuant to
24 CFR 5.801(d)(1). SHA contends their
previous auditor terminated their working
relationship, which forced SHA to submit a
Request for Proposal (RFP) to seek a new firm
to handle both the ongoing 2020 and 2021

the new auditing firm and SHA experienced
difficulties completing the audits from

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: December 22, 2022.
Reason Waived: The Agency contends that
it has incurred some challenges due to
circumstances beyond its control, such as a
lack of financial staff and management
changes that resulted in incomplete
accounting records that impacted the
auditor’s ability to reconcile and evaluate
prior years’ financials. The Agency contends
their Finance Department experienced
significant turnovers in 2018, 2019, and
2020, including the Chief Executive, the
retirement of the long-tenured Chief
Financial Officer, the Deputy Controller, and
two Senior Accountants. The Agency
contends their financial contractor found
several account balances inaccurate, and
certain records and data to substantiate these
balances are stored in various locations. The
Agency claims they encountered issues
during the procurement process to ensure
procuring a qualified auditor that could
adequately audit their financial data. The
Agency contends the loss of various
personnel challenges has impacted their
ability to move forward with the audit as
planned. The Agency requests a waiver to
extend the due date for the Audited FDS
Submission for FYE to December 31, 2021,
with a reporting date of September 30, 2022.
In accordance with 24 CFR 5.110, the request
to extend the submission due date and waive
24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) is approved, as the reason
provided is considered good cause for a
waiver. Accordingly, the Agency has been
granted an extended due date to February 20,
2023.

Specialist, Office of Public and Indian
Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW,
Washington, DC 20410, telephone 202–475–
8930.
• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(c)(4)
Increase in Payment Standard During
Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Contract
Term.
Project/Activity: Notice PIH 2022–30
Extension of Certain Regulatory Waivers for
the Housing Choice Voucher (including
Mainstream) Program and Streamlined
Review Process.
Nature of Requirement: PHAs may request
an extension of the option to increase the
payment standard for the family at any time
after the effective date of the increase, rather
than waiting for the next regular
reexamination.
Reason Waived: Extension for PHAs that
were granted to the opportunity to apply for
certain regulatory waivers that were
originally offered as part of the CARES Act
waivers in Notice PIH 2021–14 to provide
continued flexibility during the pandemic
and pandemic recovery. HUD expeditiously
responded to these waiver request in
accordance with Section 106 of the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development Reform Act of 1989.
Granted by: Dominique Blom, General
Deputy Assistant for Public and Indian
Housing.
Date Granted: October 1, 2022–December
31, 2022.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
[Docket No. FR-6325-N-04]
Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the Fourth
Quarter of Calendar Year 2022
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 October 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general information about this
notice, contact Aaron Santa Anna, Associate General Counsel for
Legislation and 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).
HUD welcomes and is prepared to receive calls from individuals who
are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as individuals with speech or
communication disabilities. To learn more about how to make an
accessible telephone call, please visit https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-relay-service-trs.
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 fourth quarter of calendar year 2022.
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
October 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. 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.
Additionally, this notice includes waivers made pursuant to the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), not
previously published in the Federal Register. These waivers are listed
separately from other individual waivers within each program office
grouping, as CARES Act waivers broadly covered all affected parties
rather than individual, case-by-case situations. The lists include
additional Memoranda and Notices issued regarding broad CARES Act
waivers provided by HUD since the enactment of the Act on March 27,
2020. In addition, the lists provide a short, two- or three-line
description of each memo or notice, identifying the specific CARES Act
authority and purpose of the waivers addressed therein.
Should HUD receive additional information about waivers granted
during the period covered by this report (the fourth quarter of
calendar year 2022) before the next report is published (the first
quarter of calendar year 2023), HUD will include any additional waivers
granted for the fourth quarter in the next report.
Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining
to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this
notice.
Damon Y. Smith,
General Counsel.

Listing of Waivers of Regulatory Requirements Granted by Offices of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development October 1, 2022 Through
December 31, 2022
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 and Alternative Requirements Granted by the

For further information about the following regulatory waivers,
please see the name of
[[Page 43909]]
the contact person that immediately follows the description of the
waiver granted.
Regulation: 24 CFR 58.22(a) Limitation on Activities
Pending Clearance.
Project/Activity: Homekey Project--Salinas, California--Section
8 Project-based Vouchers.
Nature of Requirement: Pursuant to 24 CFR 58.22(a) ``until the
RROF and the related certification have been approved, neither a
recipient nor any participant in the development process may commit
non-HUD funds on or undertake an activity . . . if the activity or
project would have an adverse environmental impact or limit the
choice of reasonable alternatives.''
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: December 19, 2022.
Reason Waived: HUD may approve a Request for a Waiver of Part 58
when a regulatory violation has occurred, if there is good cause to
grant the waiver and no unmitigated adverse environmental impacts
will result. HUD has reviewed the Environmental Assessment submitted
by the City of Salinas and the City asserts the regulatory violation
was unintentional, has committed to receiving training and technical
assistance, and the purpose of the project to provide housing and
supportive services to the homeless furthers HUD program goals.
Contact: Kristin L. Fontenot, Director, Office of Environment
and Energy, Community Planning and Development, Department of
Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7282,
Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 655-1412.
Alternative Requirement: Alternative requirement
modifying section 105(a) of the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974 published at section III.G.3 of the CDBG-DR Consolidated
Notice published in the Federal Register on February 3, 2022 at 87
FR 6364 (the ``February 2022 Notice'') and May 24, 2022 at 87 FR
31636 (the ``May 2022 Notice'').
Project/Activity: Assistance to private for-profit, non-profit,
or publicly owned utilities as part of disaster-related activities
that are eligible under section 105(a) of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974 and assisted with Community Development
Block Grant disaster recovery (CDBG-DR) grants made in response to
2020 and 2021 disasters that are subject to the February 2022 Notice
and the May 2022 Notice.
Nature of Requirement: In October 2021, HUD allocated
$2,051,217,000 in CDBG-DR funds made available by Public Law 117-43
(the ``Appropriations Act'') to assist disaster-related needs from
disasters occurring in 2020. On February 3, 2022, HUD published a
Federal Register notice governing the use of those funds (87 FR
6364). In March 2022, HUD allocated an additional $722,688,000 in
CDBG-DR funds from the Appropriations Act for disasters occurring in
2020 and $2,213,595,000 in CDBG-DR funds from the Appropriations Act
for disasters occurring in 2021. On May 24, 2022, HUD published a
Federal Register notice governing the use of those funds.
Both Federal Register notices included HUD's CDBG-DR
``Consolidated Notice'' as Appendix B and made the Consolidated
Notice applicable to the grants announced in those notices.
Paragraph III.G.3. of the Consolidated Notice imposes the following
alternative requirement: ``Prohibiting assistance to private
utilities. HUD is adopting the following alternative requirement to
section 105(a) and prohibiting the use of CDBG-DR funds to assist a
privately-owned utility for any purpose.''
Granted By: Adrianne Todman, Deputy Secretary Housing and Urban
Development.
Date Granted: December 12, 2022.
Reason Modified: The Continuing Appropriation Act, 2023 (Pub. L.
117-180), approved on September 30, 2022, appropriated an additional
$2,000,000,000 for 2021 and 2022 disasters. The funds under Public
Law 117-180 are available ``for the same purposes and under the same
terms and conditions'' as funds appropriated under Public Law 117-43
with a few exceptions. One of the exceptions is that amounts made
under Public Law 117-180 and 117-43 ``may be used by a grantee to
assist utilities as part of a disaster-related eligible activity
under section 105(a) of the Housing and Community Development Act of
1974 (42 U.S.C. 5305(a)).''
To comply with this new provision governing assistance to
utilities, HUD made Section III.G.3 of the CDBG-DR Consolidated
Notice inapplicable for disasters occurring in 2020 and 2021, and
instead imposed a replacement alternative requirement that was added
as paragraph IV.A.4. within the February 2022 Notice and the May
2022 Notice. While it is possible that not every CDBG-DR assisted
utility will serve predominantly low-and moderate-income (LMI)
populations, HUD recognizes that LMI populations would benefit
especially from the increased resilience and recovery of private
utilities. HUD also recognizes that privately-owned, for-profit
utilities have a means of obtaining private investment or otherwise
recapturing costs from ratepayers. Therefore, HUD's replacement
alternative requirement includes basic safeguards that HUD has
determined are necessary to ensure that costs comply with the
certification CDBG-DR grantee must make to give maximum feasible
priority to activities that benefit LMI persons and that costs are
necessary and reasonable and do not duplicate other financial
assistance.
Specifically, the funded activity must comply with all
requirements that apply to the use of grant funds. Additionally,
grantees carrying out activities that assist private, for-profit
utilities must priorities assistance to for-profit utilities that
will benefit areas where at least 51 percent of the residents are
low- and moderate-income persons and demonstrate how the assistance
will benefit those areas. Additionally, the grantee must document
that the level of assistance provided to a private, for-profit
utility addresses only the actual identified needs of the utility,
and establish policies and procedures that establish a mix of
financing terms (loan, forgivable loan, and/or grant) for each
assisted private, for-profit utility, based on the business's
financial capacity. The modified alternative requirement also makes
clear that assistance to utilities is subject to all other
requirements that apply to the use of funds, consistent with the
requirement in Public Law 117-180 that funds must be for an
``eligible activity under section 105(a).''
Applicability: The replacement alternative requirement added by
the December 12, 2022 alternative requirement as a new paragraph
IV.A.4. within the February 2022 Notice and the May 2022 Notice is
applicable to all CDBG-DR funds appropriated for major disasters
occurring in 2020 and 2021 under Public Law 117-43.

``Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas'') and is limited to
facilitating preparation of substantial amendments to FY 2022 and
prior year plans.
Nature of Requirement: The regulations at 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2)
and (k); 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401 require a
30-day public comment period in the development of a consolidated
plan and prior to the implementation of a substantial amendment.
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.
Reason Waived: Several CPD grantees were affected by Hurricane
Fiona that hit Puerto Rico on September 17, 2022. As a result of
substantial property loss and destruction, many individuals and
families residing in the Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas
were displaced from their homes, including beneficiaries of various
CPD programs, and families eligible to receive CPD program
assistance. The waiver granted will allow grantees to expedite
recovery efforts for low- and moderate-income residents affected by
the property loss and destruction resulting from this event.

Planning and Development Director in its respective HUD Field
Office. This authority is in effect for grantees within the
Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas and is limited to
facilitating preparation of substantial amendments to FY 2022 and
prior year plans.
Nature of Requirement: The regulations at 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2)
and (k); 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401 require the
grantee to follow its citizen participation plan to provide citizens
with reasonable notice and opportunity to comment. The citizen
participation plan must state how reasonable notice and opportunity
to comment will be given.
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.
Reason Waived: As stated above, several CPD grantees were
affected by Hurricane Fiona that hit Puerto Rico on September 17,
2022. As a result of substantial property loss and destruction, many
individuals and families residing in the Hurricane Fiona declared-
disaster areas were displaced from their homes, including
beneficiaries of various CPD programs, and families eligible to
receive CPD program assistance. The waiver granted will allow
grantees to determine what constitutes reasonable notice and
opportunity to comment given their circumstances and provide that
level of notice and opportunity to comment when amending prior year
plans in response to the disaster.

Division, Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing
and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7282, Washington,

Regulation: 24 CFR 570.207(b)(4).
Project/Activity: All CDBG grantees located within and outside
declared disaster areas assisting persons and families who have
registered with FEMA in connection with Hurricane Fiona.
Nature of Requirement: The CDBG regulations at 24 CFR
570.207(b)(4) prohibit income payments, but permit emergency grant
payments for three months. ``Income payments'' means a series of
subsistence-type grant payments made to an individual or family for
items such as food, clothing, housing (rent or mortgage), or
utilities. Emergency grant payments made over a period of up to
three consecutive months to the providers of such items and services
on behalf of an individual or family are eligible public services.
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.
Reason Waived: HUD waives the provisions of 24 CFR 570.207(b)(4)
to permit emergency grant payments for items such as food, clothing,
housing (rent or mortgage), or utilities for up to six consecutive
months. While this waiver allows emergency grant payments to be made
for up to six consecutive months, the payments must still be made to
service providers as opposed to the affected individuals or
families. Many individuals and families have been forced to abandon
their homes due to the damage associated with Hurricane Fiona. The
waiver will allow CDBG grantees, including grantees providing
assistance to evacuees outside the Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster
areas, to pay for the basic daily needs of individuals and families
affected by the hurricane on an interim basis. This authority is in
effect through the end of the grantee's 2023 program year. This
waiver aligns with waivers currently in effect for CDBG coronavirus
(CDBG-CV) grants. The six-month periods allowed by waiver for CDBG
and CDBG-CV shall not be used consecutively for the same
beneficiary.

Project/Activity: State of Indiana; City of Seattle, WA; City of
San Juan, PR; City of Oklahoma City, OK; City of Houston, TX; State
of Rhode Island; City of Indianapolis, IN; City of Cleveland, OH.
Nature of Requirement: This section of the HOPWA regulations
limits the total amount of time an eligible individual or family can
reside in a short-term supported housing facility to no more than 60
days during any six-month period. It also limits the Short-Term
Rent, Mortgage, and Utility (STRMU) payments to prevent the
homelessness of the tenant or mortgagor of a dwelling to no more
than 21 weeks in any 52-week period.
Reason Waived: In 2020, CPD began issuing waivers of regulatory

Notice CPD-22-09 provided expedited processing of grantee
requests to waive the 21-week and 60-day limitations in 24 CFR
574.330(a)(1). In utilizing the waiver, the grantee or project
sponsor must document, on an individual household basis, that a good
faith effort has been made to assist the household to achieve
housing stability within the time limits specified in the
regulations, but that financial needs or health and safety concerns
have prevented the household from doing so. The grantee or project
sponsor must also have written policies and procedures outlining
efforts to regularly re-assess the needs of assisted households, as
well as processes for granting extensions based on documented
financial needs or health and safety concerns. The waiver request
must specify the alternative limits to be used in place of the 21-
week and 60-day limit as applicable, and those limits must not
exceed 52 weeks and 120 days, respectively and specify the period
during which the grantee needs to use this waiver and that effective
period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023.

Notice CPD-22-09 provided expedited processing of requests to
waive the requirement at 24 CFR 574.530 to have source documentation
of HIV status at the time of the determination of eligibility. In
utilizing the waiver, grantees and project sponsors may accept
written certification of HIV status and income to document
eligibility of an individual or family seeking assistance if the
grantee or project sponsor agrees to obtain source documentation of
HIV status and income eligibility within 90 days of obtaining the
written certification. Grantees and project sponsors must provide
justification as to why source documentation cannot be acquired at
the time of the eligibility determination. The waiver request must
specify the period during which the grantee needs to use this waiver
and that effective period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023.

Mega-Waiver for Hurricane Ian--Housing Opportunities for Persons Withs
AIDS (HOPWA) Program
On October 3, 2022, HUD issued a memorandum offering waivers of
certain statutory and regulatory requirements associated with
several Community Planning and Development (CPD) grant programs to
address damage and facilitate recovery from Hurricane Ian in areas
covered by a major disaster declaration under Title IV of the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford
Act), DR-4673-FL, dated September 29, 2022, as may be amended (the
``declared-disaster areas''). The October 3, 2022, memorandum was
updated on December 8, 2022, to clarify the documentation
requirements to support the use of some waivers to assist impacted
individuals and provide greater clarity on the use of some waivers
outside of the declared disaster area. The following summarizes the
waivers available for HOPWA grantees.
Regulation: 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2), Housing Quality
Standards.
Project/Activity: The property standard requirements in 24 CFR
574.310(b)(2) are waived for units in the declared-disaster areas
that are or will be occupied by HOPWA eligible households, provided
that the units are free of life-threatening conditions as defined in
Notice PIH 2017-20 (HA). Grantees must ensure that these units meet
HOPWA housing quality standards within 60 days of October 3, 2022.
Nature of Requirement: Section 574.310(b)(2) of the HOPWA
regulations provides minimum housing quality standards that apply to
all housing for which HOPWA funds are used for acquisition,
rehabilitation, conversion, lease, or repair; new construction of
single room occupancy dwellings and community residences; project or
tenant-based rental assistance; or operating costs under 24 CFR
574.300(b)(3), (4), (5), or (8).
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: October 3, 2022.
Reason Waived: This waiver is required to enable grantees and
project sponsors to expeditiously meet the critical housing needs of
the many eligible families in the declared disaster areas.
Contact: Amy Palilonis, Office of HIV/AIDS Housing, Office of
Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7248, Washington, DC 20410,
telephone (202) 402-5916, [email protected].
Regulation: 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2), Rent Standard.
Project/Activity: The rent standard requirement is waived for
any rent amount that takes effect during the two-year period
beginning on October 3, 2022, for any individual or family who is
renting or executes a lease for a unit in the declared disaster
areas. This waiver would apply for twelve months from the date of
the execution of the lease under the waived rent standard
requirement. Grantees and project sponsors must still ensure the
reasonableness of rent charged for units in the declared-disaster
areas in accordance with 574.320(a)(3).
Nature of Requirement: Grantees must establish rent standards
for their rental assistance programs based on FMR (Fair Market Rent)
or the HUD-approved community-wide exception rent for unit size.
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: October 3, 2022.
Reason Waived: This waiver is required to enable HOPWA grantees
to expedite efforts to meet the critical housing needs of low-income
people living with HIV and their families in the declared-disaster
areas. Under the programmatic requirements at 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2),
the rent standard shall be no more than the published section 8 fair
market rent (FMR) or the HUD-approved community-wide exception for
the unit size. In addition, on a unit-by-unit basis, the grantee may
increase that amount by up to 10 percent for up to 20 percent of the
units assisted. Notice CPD-22-10 Clarification of Rent Standard
Requirement for the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS
(HOPWA) Program provides additional clarity and flexibility on how
HOPWA grantees can administer the rent standard in accordance with
24 CFR 574.320(a)(2) and the Regulatory and Administrative
Requirement Waivers and Flexibilities Available to HUD Public
Housing and Section 8 During CY 2022 and CY 2023 to Public Housing
Agencies To Assist With Recovery and Relief Efforts on Behalf of
Families Affected by Presidentially Declared Disasters, 87 FR 469
(Section 8 Disaster Notice) provides additional rent standard
flexibility in presidentially declared disaster areas.
Due to the extensive damage to housing units in the declared
disaster area and the need to ensure safe and decent units are
immediately available to eligible households to prevent homelessness
and protect the health of the people with HIV served under the
program, HUD has determined that it is not practicable for grantees
to be held to the rent standards in 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2) even with
the additional flexibilities under Notice CPD-22-10 and the Section
8 Disaster Notice. Waiving the rent standard requirement, while
still requiring that the unit be rent reasonable in accordance with
Sec. 574.320(a)(3), will make more units immediately available to
HOPWA eligible individuals and families in need of permanent housing
in the declared-disaster areas and will help to quickly stabilize
their housing and health.

Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7248, Washington, DC 20410,

Regulation: 24 CFR 574.530, Recordkeeping.
Project/Activity: The recordkeeping requirement at 24 CFR
574.530 is waived to the extent necessary to allow HOPWA grantees,
located within and outside of the declared disaster areas, to assist
displaced persons and families, provided that the grantees (1)
require written certification of HIV status and income of such
individuals and families seeking assistance and (2) obtain source
documentation of HIV status and income eligibility within six months
of October 3, 2022.
Nature of Requirement: Each grantee must maintain records to
document compliance with HOPWA requirements, which includes
determining the eligibility of a family to receive HOPWA assistance.
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: October 3, 2022.
Reason Waived: This waiver will permit HOPWA grantees and
project sponsors, located within and outside of the declared-
disaster areas, to rely upon a family member's self-certification of
income and HIV status in lieu of source documentation to determine
eligibility for HOPWA assistance for individuals and families
displaced by the disaster. Many individuals and families displaced
by the disaster whose homes have been destroyed or damaged will not
have immediate access to documentation of income or medical records
and, without this waiver, will be unable to document their
eligibility for HOPWA assistance.

Mega-Waiver for Hurricane Fiona--Housing Opportunities for Persons
Withs AIDS (HOPWA) Program
On December 8, 2022, HUD issued an updated memorandum offering
waivers of certain statutory and regulatory requirements associated
with several Community Planning and Development (CPD) grant programs
to address damage and facilitate recovery from Hurricane Fiona in
areas covered by a major disaster declaration under Title IV of the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
(Stafford Act), DR-4671-PR, dated September 21, 2022, as may be
amended (the ``declared-disaster areas'').
Regulation: 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2), Housing Quality
Standards.
Project/Activity: The minimum housing quality standards
requirements in 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2) are waived for units in the
declared-disaster areas that are or will be occupied by HOPWA-
eligible households, provided that the units are free of life-
threatening conditions as defined in Notice PIH 2017-20 (HA).
Grantees must ensure that these units meet HOPWA housing quality
standards within 60 days of the date of December 8, 2022.
Nature of Requirement: Section 574.310(b)(2) of the HOPWA
regulations provides minimum housing quality standards
[[Page 43913]]
that apply to all housing for which HOPWA funds are used for
acquisition, rehabilitation, conversion, lease, or repair; new
construction of single room occupancy dwellings and community
residences; project or tenant-based rental assistance; or operating
costs under 24 CFR 574.300(b)(3), (4), (5), or (8).
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.
Reason Waived: This waiver is required to enable grantees and
project sponsors to expeditiously meet the critical housing needs of
the many eligible families in the declared disaster areas.
Contact: Lisa Steinhauer, Office of HIV/AIDS Housing, Office of
Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7248, Washington, DC 20410,
telephone (215) 861-7651, [email protected].
Regulation: 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2), Rent Standard.
Project/Activity: The rent standard requirement is waived for
any rent amount that takes effect during the two-year period
beginning on December 8, 2022, for any individual or family who is
renting or executes a lease for a unit in the declared disaster
areas. This waiver would apply for twelve months from the date of
the execution of the lease under the waived rent standard
requirement. Grantees and project sponsors must still ensure the
reasonableness of rent charged for units in the declared-disaster
areas in accordance with 574.320(a)(3).
Nature of Requirement: Grantees must establish rent standards
for their rental assistance programs based on FMR (Fair Market Rent)
or the HUD-approved community-wide exception rent for unit size.
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.
Reason Waived: This waiver is required to enable HOPWA grantees
to expedite efforts to meet the critical housing needs of low-income
people living with HIV and their families in the declared-disaster
areas.
Under the programmatic requirements at 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2), the
rent standard shall be no more than the published section 8 fair
market rent (FMR) or the HUD-approved community-wide exception for
the unit size. In addition, on a unit-by-unit basis, the grantee may
increase that amount by up to 10 percent for up to 20 percent of the
units assisted. Notice CPD-22-10 Clarification of Rent Standard
Requirement for the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS
(HOPWA) Program provides additional clarity and flexibility on how
HOPWA grantees can administer the rent standard in accordance with
24 CFR 574.320(a)(2) and the Regulatory and Administrative
Requirement Waivers and Flexibilities Available to HUD Public
Housing and Section 8 During CY 2022 and CY 2023 to Public 16
Housing Agencies To Assist With Recovery and Relief Efforts on
Behalf of Families Affected by Presidentially Declared Disasters, 87
FR 469 (Section 8 Disaster Notice) provides additional rent standard
flexibility in presidentially declared disaster areas. Due to the
extensive damage to housing units in the declared disaster area and
the need to ensure safe and decent units are immediately available
to eligible households to prevent homelessness and protect the
health of the people with HIV served under the program, HUD has
determined that it is not practicable for grantees to be held to the
rent standards in 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2) even with the additional
flexibilities under Notice CPD-22-10 and the Section 8 Disaster
Notice. Waiving the rent standard requirement while still requiring
that the unit be rent reasonable in accordance with 574.320(a)(3),
will make more units immediately available to HOPWA eligible
individuals and families in need of permanent housing in the
declared-disaster areas and will help to quickly stabilize their
housing and health.

Regulation: 24 CFR 574.530, Recordkeeping.
Project/Activity: The recordkeeping requirement at 24 CFR
574.530 is waived to the extent necessary to allow HOPWA grantees,
located within and outside of the declared disaster areas, to assist
displaced persons and families, provided that the grantees (1)
require written certification of HIV status and income of such
individuals and families seeking assistance and (2) obtain source
documentation of HIV status and income eligibility within six months
of December 8, 2022.
Nature of Requirement: Each grantee must maintain records to
document compliance with HOPWA requirements, which includes
determining the eligibility of a family to receive HOPWA assistance.
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.
Reason Waived: This waiver will permit HOPWA grantees and
project sponsors, located within and outside of the declared-
disaster areas, to rely upon a family member's self-certification of
income and HIV status in lieu of source documentation to determine
eligibility for HOPWA assistance for individuals and families
displaced by the disaster. Many individuals and families displaced
by the disaster whose homes have been destroyed or damaged will not
have immediate access to documentation of income or medical records
and, without this waiver, will be unable to document their
eligibility for HOPWA assistance.

Standards.
Project/Activity: The habitability requirements in 24 CFR
574.310(b)(2) are waived for units in the declared-disaster areas
that are or will be occupied by HOPWA-eligible households, provided
that the units are free of life-threatening conditions as defined in
Notice PIH 2017-20 (HA). Grantees must ensure that these units meet
HOPWA habitability standards within 60 days of the date of February
9, 2023.
Nature of Requirement: Section 574.310(b)(2) of the HOPWA
regulations provides minimum habitability standards that apply to
all housing for which HOPWA funds are used for acquisition,
rehabilitation, conversion, lease, or repair; new construction of
single room occupancy dwellings and community residences; project or
tenant-based rental assistance; or operating costs under 24 CFR
574.300(b)(3), (4), (5), or (8).
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant

Regulation: 24 CFR 574.320(a)(1), Maximum Subsidy.
Project/Activity: Provided that the maximum subsidy is otherwise
calculated as provided by 574.320(a)(1), the requirement to use the
rent standard as provided by 574.320(a)(1) is waived. This waiver
applies to the calculation of rental assistance for any rent amount
that takes effect during the two-year period beginning on February
9, 2023, for any individual or family who is renting or executes a
lease for a unit in the declared-disaster areas. This waiver would
apply for twelve months from the date of the execution of the lease.
Grantees and project sponsors must still ensure the reasonableness
of rent charged for units in the declared-disaster areas in
accordance with 574.320(a)(3).
Nature of Requirement: The amount of grant funds used to pay
monthly assistance for an eligible person may not exceed the
[[Page 43914]]
difference between: (i) The lower of the rent standard or reasonable
rent for the unit; and (ii) The resident's rent payment calculated
under 574.310(d).
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: February 9, 2023.
Reason Waived: Permitting the maximum rental assistance subsidy
to be calculated under 24 CFR 574.320(a)(1) without regard to the
rent standard would enable HOPWA grantees to expedite efforts to
meet the critical housing needs of low-income people living with HIV
and their families in the declared-disaster areas. Under the

Nature of Requirement: The use of ``owner'' and ``lease'' in 24
CFR 576.105 and 576.106 restrict program participants from receiving
rental assistance under 24 CFR 576.106 and certain services under 24
CFR 576.105 with respect to units that program participants sublease
or lease from a person other than the owner or the owner's agent.
The following table provides a summary of the waivers HUD
provided with respect to this requirement in accordance with the
expedited waiver process described in Notice CPD-22-09, which is
available at www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/OCHCO/documents/2022-09cpdn.pdf.
Project/Activity: Notice CPD-22-09 authorized expedited
processing of recipient requests to waive the regulatory
requirements in 24 CFR 576.105 and 576.106 to the extent that the
references to ``owner'' and ``lease'' in 24 CFR 576.105 and 576.106
restrict program participants from receiving assistance in units
they sublease from the primary leaseholder, provided that the
recipient is able to assure HUD that: (i) The waiver will be used
only when the program participant chooses to rent a unit through a
legally valid sublease with the primary leaseholder for the unit;
and (ii) The recipient has developed written policies to apply the
requirements of 24 CFR 576.105, 24 CFR 576.106, 24 CFR 576.409, and
24 CFR 576.500(h) with respect to that program participant by
reading the references to ``owner'' and ``housing owner'' to apply
to the primary leaseholder and reading the references to ``lease''
to apply to the program participant's sublease or lease with primary
leaseholder. In addition, to be considered for expedited processing,
the waiver request must specify the period during which the
recipient needs to house program participants using this
flexibility, and that period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023,
although the recipient may request that the waiver remain applicable
to any sublease approved during that period until the earlier of the
end of the program participant's otherwise allowable term of
assistance or the end of the period of performance/approved budget
period(s) for the recipient's grant(s) covered by the waiver.

Code Key for Reasons Waived:
A. Potential negative impacts of the pandemic on providing
assistance to program participants, including the delay of
identifying housing due to increased rental rates, low vacancy rates
or the onset of housing instability.
B. Local pandemic-specific delays or limitations (e.g., social
distancing requirements, delays in obtaining necessary paperwork due
to office closures or staffing shortages, low vaccination rates or
high hospitalization rates of people experiencing homelessness,
lower wages or higher unemployment rates).

ESG--Restriction of Rental Assistance to Units With Rent at or
Below FMR
Regulation: 24 CFR 576.106(d)(1).
Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 576.106(d)(1) provides that rental
assistance cannot be provided unless the total rent is equal to or
less than the FMR established by HUD, as provided under 24 CFR part
888, and complies with HUD's standard of rent reasonableness, as
established under 24 CFR 982.507.
The following table provides a summary of the waivers HUD
provided with respect to this requirement in accordance with the
expedited waiver process described in Notice CPD-22-09, which is
available at www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/OCHCO/documents/2022-09cpdn.pdf.
Project/Activity: Notice CPD-22-09 authorized expedited
processing of recipient requests to waive the FMR-based limitation
in 24 CFR 576.106(d)(1), so that a recipient can provide rental
assistance to program participants in units that are above FMR, so
long as the rent is reasonable when compared to other similar
unassisted units. However, to be considered for expedited
processing, the waiver request must specify the period during which
the recipient needs to house program participants using this
flexibility, and that period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023,
although the recipient may request that the waiver remain applicable
to any unit in which a program participant is assisted during that
time period may continue to benefit from this waiver through until
the earlier of the end of the program participant's otherwise
allowable term of assistance or the end of the period of
performance/approved budget period(s) for the recipient's grant(s)
covered by the waiver.

Code Key for Reasons Waived:
A. Potential negative impacts of the pandemic on providing
assistance to program participants, including the delay of
identifying housing due to increased rental rates, low vacancy
rates, challenges securing lower rates due to landlord trepidation
or the onset of housing instability.
B. Local pandemic-specific delays or limitations (e.g., social
distancing requirements, delays in obtaining necessary paperwork due
to office closures or staffing shortages, low vaccination rates or
high hospitalization rates of people experiencing homelessness,
lower wages or higher unemployment rates).
Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Contact: More information about each waiver and a copy of the
request and the approval may be obtained by contacting: Norm Suchar,
Director, Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs, Office of
Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban

telephone number (202) 708-4300.
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 203.604 Contact with the Mortgagor.
Project/Activity: Temporary, Partial Waiver of Servicing
Mortgagee's Responsibility to Contact Mortgagor in Person.
Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 203.604 Contact with the
Mortgagor, under Mortgagee Actions under Subpart C--Servicing
Responsibilities of 24 CFR part 203 Single Family Insurance,
requires mortgagees to have a face-to-face interview with the
mortgagor, or make a reasonable effort to arrange such a meeting,
before three full monthly installments due on the mortgage are
unpaid. If default occurs in a repayment plan arranged other than
during a personal interview, the mortgagee must have a face-to-face
meeting the mortgagor, or make a reasonable attempt to arrange such
a meeting within 30 days after such default and at least 30 days
before foreclosure is commenced, or at least 30 days before
assignment is requested if the mortgage is insured on Hawaiian home
land pursuant to section 247 or Indian land pursuant to section 248
or if assignment is requested under Sec. 203.350(d) for mortgages
authorized by section 203(q) of the National Housing Act.
Granted by: Julia R. Gordon, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
FHA Commissioner.
Date Granted: December 19, 2022.
Reason Waived: HUD's servicing requirement for FHA-insured
forward mortgages requires that a mortgagee conduct a face-to-face
interview with the borrower, which is not practical given the public
health recommendations being disseminated by local, state, and
federal government agencies to limit contact between individuals, in
order to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus and its variants.
HUD recognizes that, beyond government recommendations, there is
public concern about possible transmission of COVID-19 from in-
person contact, and that mortgagees and borrowers may be hesitant to
meet in-person. FHA-approved mortgagees have been able to
successfully establish contact with borrowers through alternate
methods, gather and convey required information, and determine the
borrower's circumstances and appropriate repayment plans, as
required by 24 CFR 203.604, without a face-to-face interview. The
waiver was granted to protect the public health while ensuring
delinquent borrowers were provided the opportunity to learn about
options available to bring their mortgages current.
Contact: Graham Mayfield, Acting Director, Office of Single
Family Asset Management, Office of Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW,
Room 9172, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 402-2826,
[email protected].
Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b)(1995) ``Payment and
Repayment of Operating Assistance'' of the Federal Housing
Administration's (FHA) regulations''.
Project/Activity: Redeemers Arms aka Dale Street Place FHA No.
092-SH017T.
Nature of Requirement: That provision sets forth the
requirements that govern the repayment of operating assistance under
the Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled Projects 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 sale of the project.''
Granted by: Julia R. Gordon, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: December 15, 2022.
Reason Waived: The regulation at 24 CFR 219.220(b)(1995) was
waived to permit the deferment of the outstanding balance of the
Flexible Subsidy Loans, plus accrued interest, for Redeemers Arms
aka Dale Street Place, and permit the Owner to repay the loans
through a repayment plan. The waiver allowed the owner to refinance
the property in order to complete much needed rehabilitation.

III. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Public and Indian
Housing
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 982.161 (a).
Project/Activity: Morgan Metropolitan Housing Authority's
request to waive HCV regulation stating any present or former
member/officer of PHA may not have any direct or indirect interest
in the HAP contract.
Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 982.161 (a)
allows HUD to evaluate good cause on a case-by-case basis based
primarily (though not exclusively) on the needs of assisted families
directly affected by removal of the units in question from the
affordable housing inventory in a rural area without expansive
amounts of other rental housing available.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: October 5, 2022.
Reason Waived: In May of 2022, the former Executive Director of
MMHA, Ms. Haley Hook, discovered that she would be violating Section
13 of HUD Form 5264 by allowing her husband to participate as a
landlord in MMHA's housing programs; she subsequently resigned. Upon
resignation, her spouse (Mr. John Patterson) would like to continue
participating in the Housing Choice Voucher Program as a landlord
without waiting the one-year period outlined in Section 13 of the
HAP contract and Sec. 982.161(a). Mr. Patterson currently serves
five clients through MMHA's Housing Choice Voucher program. MMHA has
stated that Mr. Patterson's participation is essential to this PHA
because Morgan County substantially lacks available, affordable
housing and the participation of landlords. MMHA is a small rural
housing authority located in southeastern Ohio. MMHA has also
represented that terminating the HAP contracts would result in an
undue burden on the five HCV participants living in an area where it
would be difficult to locate and obtain other HCV eligible units.

Public and Indian Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC
20410, telephone 971-222-2667.

Regulation: SEMAP 24 CFR 985.101 (a).
Project/Activity: Irvington HA requests a waiver of 24 CFR
985.101 submission of the SEMAP certification form within 60 days
after the FYE: 3/31/2022.
Nature of Requirement: This regulation states that a public
housing agency (PHA) must submit the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) required SEMAP certification form within 60
calendar days after the end of its fiscal year. The PHA's fiscal
year ended on March 31, 2022; the SEMAP certification was due on or
before May 30, 2022.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: October 10, 2022.
Reason Waived: On April 5, 2022, the Irvington Housing Authority
went into receivership. The Interim Executive Director resigned
around the end of May 2022, which disrupted the agency's operations
including the submission of the SEMAP certification in a timely
manner. IHA has a new staff member ready to submit upon approval and
plans to train an additional person to serve as backup to prevent
further interruptions.
Contact: Michelle Daniels, Housing Program Specialist, Office of
Public and Indian Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC
20410, telephone 202-402-6051.
Regulation: 24 CFR 983.
Project/Activity: Pursuant to 24 CFR 5.110, the Pender County
Housing Authority (PCHA), NC173, requests a waiver of the federal
regulations within 24 CFR 983 that outline requirements for
selection of a project-based voucher proposal, selection procedures
for PHA-owned units, as well as restrictions on the term of a
resulting HAP Contract.
Nature of Requirement: Based on the request, the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has identified the following
regulations necessitating a waiver: 24 CFR 983.51, which provides
for owner proposal selection procedures; and 24 CFR 983.59(a), which
provides for selection procedures for public housing authority (PHA)
owned units in accordance with 24 CFR 983.51(e).
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: November 1, 2022.
Reason Waived: In December 2009, the PBC assistance was renewed
and converted under a ten-year PBV HAP contract, covering the term
of 2009-2019, however, this contract expired under a former
Executive Director, and the expired HAP contract was identified
during a recent Calculation of HAP, Adjusted Income and Rent (CHAIR)
Review, conducted by Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Quality
Assurance Division (QAD). The PHCA would like to provide PBV
assistance to the units, notwithstanding the contract's expiration.
This requires a waiver of the regulatory requirements specified in
the first paragraph of this letter regarding project selection. It
further requires the PHCA to determined that all other PBV statutory
and regulatory requirements are met regarding the PBV program. The
apartments meet the definition of PHA-owned and in 2011, a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was executed between PCHA and the
Wilmington Housing Authority (WHA) for WHA to conduct HQS
inspections for the units. Additionally, PCHA has been informed that
additional efforts will be necessary to bring the program into
compliance for PHA-owned units, and PCHA must execute agreements for
all PBV functions to be performed by an Independent Entity. Further,
PCHA has been advised that its administrative plan must be updated
to ensure all appropriate policies and provisions for administration
of the PBV program.

Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(c) and 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1).
Project/Activity: Opelousas Housing Authority (LA055).
Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain
reporting compliance dates.
The audited financial statements are required to be submitted to
the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) no later than nine months
after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal year end (FYE) June 30,
2020 and 2021, in accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB
Circular A-133.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: November 9, 2022.
Reason Waived: The HA is requesting an extension due to the
unforeseen circumstances surrounding the termination status of the
agency's Auditor, William McCaskill, A Professional Accounting
Corporation (APAC) who is no longer on the Louisiana Legislative
Approved CPA firms list, and therefore is no longer qualified to
conduct the audit. The Agency is requesting an extension until
September 30, 2022, due to the arduous process to procure another
auditor in time to complete the agency's audit process for FYE June
30, 2020 and 2021. In accordance with 24 CFR 5.110, the request to
extend the submission due date and waive 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) is
approved, as the reason provided is considered good cause for a
waiver.
Contact: Lara Philbert, Assessment Manager, Office of Public and
Indian Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20410,

Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: November 9, 2022.
Reason Waived: The HA contends that the prior board members
failed to procure audit services on time, and the HA could not
secure another audit contract until December 8, 2021. Further the HA
states that there was great difficulty securing responses to a
Request for Proposal for audit services. In accordance with 24 CFR
5.110, the request to extend the submission due date and waive 24
CFR 5.801(d)(1) is approved, as the reason provided is considered
good cause for a waiver.

unforeseen circumstances surrounding the termination status of the
agency's Auditor, William McCaskill, A Professional Accounting
Corporation (APAC) who is no longer on the Louisiana Legislative

Regulation: SEMAP 24 CFR 985 (60 day submission rule).
Project/Activity: Regional Housing Authority (RHA-CA048)
requests waiver of the Section Eight Management Assessment Program
(SEMAP) regulation, 24 CFR 985.101(a)
Nature of Requirement: This regulation states that a public
housing agency (PHA) must submit the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) required SEMAP certification form within 60
calendar days after the end of its fiscal year. The PHA's fiscal
year ended on March 31, 2022; the SEMAP certification was due on or
before May 30, 2022.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: November 10, 2022.
Reason Waived: On May 31, 2022, the RHA attempted to submit its
SEMAP certification but was denied access due to late submission.
You stated that your agency was going through its financial audit
the week prior to the submission deadline. As a result, the staff
was unavailable to submit the SEMAP certification due to their time
being occupied by the auditors. In addition, you mentioned that the
office was closed for Memorial Day on May 30, 2022, and that the
COVID-19 pandemic caused staff shortage (which also contributed to
the late submission).

Regulation: HCV Regulations at 24 CFR 982.
Project/Activity: Allegheny County Housing Authority (ACHA).
Nature of Requirement: The ACHA seeks exception 24 CFR
982.503(C)(3) which would allow the HA to adopt payment standards
about 120 percent of the Small Area Fair Market Rent. ACHA asserts
this approval is necessary to prevent financial hardship for
families as current payment standards in high priority neighborhoods
are not adequate, and families that move under the HUD demonstration
would otherwise experience significant rent burdens.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: November 30, 2022.
Reason Waived: ACHA has provided good cause for waiving 24 CFR
982.503(b)(1)(iv). In order to achieve the goals of the Community
Choice Demonstration, and to provide access to low-poverty
neighborhoods for families in their voucher program, ACHA needs to
establish exception payment standards over 110 percent of the SAFMR,
where justified by statistically representative housing survey data.

Regulation: CFR 982.517(b)(1) and 24 CFR
983.301(f)(2)(ii).
Project/Activity: The Housing Commission of Talbot (HCT).
Nature of Requirement: The Housing Commission of Talbot (HCT),
has submitted a request to waive 24 CFR 982.517(b)(1) and 24 CFR
983.301(f)(2)(ii), which require that the utility schedule be
determined based on the typical cost of utilities and services paid
by energy conservative households that occupy housing of a similar
size and type in the same locality, and prohibits PHAs from
establishing or applying different utility allowance amounts for the
PBV program as the same utility allowance schedule applies to both
tenant-based vouchers and project-based vouchers. For HUD to
consider such a waiver, the public housing agency (PHA) should
submit: (a) an analysis of utility rates for the community; (b) an
estimate of energy consumption that will take place at the newly
constructed site; and (c) a proposed alternative methodology for
calculating utility allowances on an ongoing basis.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: November 30, 2022.
Reason Waived: The information submitted to HUD by HCT supports
its request. The HCT has submitted an analysis of utility rates for
the community andan estimate of the energy consumption that will
take place at the newly constructed site. Due to the energy
efficient systems being built at the Doverbrook Apartments, the
community consumption estimates are significantly higher than the
consumption expected at the site. Therefore, since HCT has
demonstrated that the utility allowance provided under the HCV
program would discourage conservation and ultimately lead to
inefficient use of HAP funds at the Doverbrook Apartments, I have
determined that there is good cause to waive 24 CFR
983.301(f)(2)(ii) and 24 CFR 982.517.

Regulation: SEMAP 24 CFR 985 (60 day submission rule).
Project/Activity: Municipal Housing Agency of Council Bluff's
requests approval for SEMAP late submitter waiver pursuant to the 60
day submission rule codified in 24 CFR 985.
Nature of Requirement: This regulation states that a public
housing agency (PHA) must submit the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) required SEMAP certification form within 60
calendar days after the end of its fiscal year. The PHA's fiscal
year ended on December 31, 2021; the SEMAP certification was due on
or before March 1, 2022.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: December 5, 2022.
Reason Waived: On February 25, 2022, the MHACB submitted its
SEMAP on time but failed to complete the online certification due to
difficulty entering the data into the PIC system. The agency's
request states that they experienced challenges due to their SEMAP
contact being new to the process and that they made efforts to reach
out to HUD to address the issue.

Regulation: 24 CFR 982.161(a).
Project/Activity: any employee of the public housing authority
(PHA) who formulates policy or who influences decisions with respect
to the programs, may not have any direct or indirect interest in the
housing assistance program (HAP) contract or in any benefits or
payments under the contract during tenure or one year thereafter.
Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 982.161(c), and
the HAP contract, allows the conflict of interest to be waived by
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for good
cause.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: December 14, 2022.
Reason Waived: Upon resignation, Mr. Hankerson would like to
continue participating in the HCV program as a landlord without
waiting the one-year period outlined in Section 13 of the HAP
contract and Sec. 982.161(a). OHA has stated that Mr. Hankerson's
participation is essential because the city of Oakland's housing
supply is extremely limited and terminating the HAP contracts would
result in the unfair displacement of the two HCV participants living
in an area where it would be difficult to locate and obtain other
HCV eligible units.

[[Page 43927]]
Project/Activity: Carbondale Housing Authority's (CHA) request
for waiver of Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) regulations at 24 CFR
982.161(a), which states, in part, that any public official, member
of a governing body, or State or local legislator who exercises
functions or responsibilities with respect to the programs, may not
have any direct or indirect interest in the housing assistance
program (HAP) contract or in any benefits or payments under the
contract during tenure or one year thereafter.
Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 982.161(c), and
the HAP contract, allows the conflict of interest to be waived by
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for good
cause.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: December 14, 2022.
Reason Waived: Per the request, Mr. Justin Taylor, Mayor of
Carbondale, owns the unit where Mr. Jerry Thomas currently resides
(and was living) when he was issued a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV)
in February of 2022. CHA became aware of the conflict in March of
2022 (after the HAP was executed) and when Mayor Taylor informed
their HCV coordinator of the situation. At the time the voucher was
issued, the HCV coordinator was unaware of a potential conflict, as
the rental property was listed in Mayor Taylor's business name. As
Mayor, Mr. Taylor recommends candidates to serve on the board of the
CHA, the city council approves the appointments, and the mayor does
not have any functions or duties related to the administration of
the HCV program.

Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1).
Project/Activity: Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority
(OH004) (CMHA).
Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain
reporting compliance dates. The audited financial statements are
required to be submitted to the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC)
no later than nine months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal
year end FYE June 30, 2021, in accordance with the Single Audit Act
and OMB Circular A-133.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: December 22, 2022.
Reason Waived: CMHA exerts that its contracted auditor, Plante &
Moran, PLLC, amended its contract due date to the auditor's staffing
issues. The amended agreement due date is after the HUD submission
due date and will cause CMHA to receive an LPF and zero points in
the FASS scoring. This situation is beyond the control of the
authority. In accordance with 24 CFR 5.110, the request to extend
the submission due date and waive 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) is approved, as
the reason provided is considered good cause for a waiver. The
circumstance preventing the Agency from submitting its audited
financial information on time is acceptable. Therefore, CMHA is
granted an additional sixty days from the extended due date of
September 30, 2022. CMHA has until November 30, 2022, to complete
and submit its FYE June 30, 2021, audited financial information to
the Department.

Project/Activity: Salem Housing Authority (OR011) (SHA).
Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain
reporting compliance dates. The audited financial statements are
required to be submitted to the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC)
no later than nine months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal
year end FYE September 30, 2021, in accordance with the Single Audit
Act and OMB Circular A-133.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: December 22, 2022.
Reason Waived: SHA seeks to be waived from its FYE September 30,
2021, audited financial reporting requirements, pursuant to 24 CFR
5.801(d)(1). SHA contends their previous auditor terminated their
working relationship, which forced SHA to submit a Request for
Proposal (RFP) to seek a new firm to handle both the ongoing 2020
and 2021 audits. COVID delayed this process and both the new
auditing firm and SHA experienced difficulties completing the audits
from scratch even with the extended deadlines. The new firm has only
just begun engaging SHA in completing the 2021 audit. The
circumstances preventing the Agency from submitting its audited
financial information on time is acceptable. Accordingly, the Agency
is granting a submission due date of September 30, 2022, to complete
and submit its audited financial statements to the Department for
FYE September 30, 2021.

(AMHA041) (AMHA).
Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain
reporting compliance dates. The audited financial statements are
required to be submitted to the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC)
no later than nine months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal
year end FYE December 31, 2021, in accordance with the Single Audit
Act and OMB Circular A-133.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: December 22, 2022.
Reason Waived: AMHA seeks to be waived from its fiscal year end
(FYE) December 31, 2021, audited financial reporting requirements
according to 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1). AMHA stated their office is within
a high-risk COVID area due to extended sick leave, and recovery
times have severely affected their operations. As a small PHA with
twelve employees, having multiple employees with COVID
simultaneously has caused a hardship for AMHA to maintain its daily
operation and provide information for the IPA audit. In accordance
with 24 CFR 5.110, the request to extend the submission due date and
waive 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) is approved, as the reason provided is
considered good cause for a waiver. The circumstance preventing the
Agency from submitting its audited financial information on time is
acceptable. Therefore, the AMHA is granted an additional sixty days
from the extended due date of September 30, 2022. The AMHA has until
November 30, 2022, to complete and submit its FYE December 31, 2021,
audited financial information to the Department.

Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1).
Project/Activity: West Carthage Housing Authority (NY414)
(WCHA).
Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain
reporting compliance dates. The audited financial statements are
required to be submitted to the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC)
no later than nine months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal
year end FYE September 30, 2020, and its fiscal year ending on
September 30, 2021, in accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB
Circular A-133.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: December 22, 2022.
Reason Waived: For WCHA's fiscal year ending on September 30,
2020, and its fiscal year ending on September 30, 2021, WCHA seeks
to be waived from its FYE audited financial reporting requirements,
pursuant to 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1). The WCHA's former executive director
was unresponsive for several months and resigned her position after
the Wilna Housing Authority (WHA), a neighboring housing authority,
intervened to engage WCHA's board. WCHA is now under an interagency
agreement with WHA. The circumstances preventing the Agency from
submitting its audited financial statements on time is acceptable.
Accordingly, the Agency is granting a submission due date of
December 31, 2022, to complete and submit its audited financial
statements to the Department for FYE September 30, 2020, and
September 30, 2021.

Project/Activity: Mobile Housing Authority (AL002).
Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain
reporting compliance dates. The audited financial statements are
required to be submitted to the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC)
no later than nine months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal
year end FYE December 31, 2021, in
[[Page 43928]]
accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: December 22, 2022.
Reason Waived: The Agency contends that it has incurred some
challenges due to circumstances beyond its control, such as a lack
of financial staff and management changes that resulted in
incomplete accounting records that impacted the auditor's ability to
reconcile and evaluate prior years' financials. The Agency contends
their Finance Department experienced significant turnovers in 2018,
2019, and 2020, including the Chief Executive, the retirement of the
long-tenured Chief Financial Officer, the Deputy Controller, and two
Senior Accountants. The Agency contends their financial contractor
found several account balances inaccurate, and certain records and
data to substantiate these balances are stored in various locations.
The Agency claims they encountered issues during the procurement
process to ensure procuring a qualified auditor that could
adequately audit their financial data. The Agency contends the loss
of various personnel challenges has impacted their ability to move
forward with the audit as planned. The Agency requests a waiver to
extend the due date for the Audited FDS Submission for FYE to
December 31, 2021, with a reporting date of September 30, 2022. In
accordance with 24 CFR 5.110, the request to extend the submission
due date and waive 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) is approved, as the reason
provided is considered good cause for a waiver. Accordingly, the
Agency has been granted an extended due date to February 20, 2023.

Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(c)(4) Increase in Payment
Standard During Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Contract Term.
Project/Activity: Notice PIH 2022-30 Extension of Certain
Regulatory Waivers for the Housing Choice Voucher (including
Mainstream) Program and Streamlined Review Process.
Nature of Requirement: PHAs may request an extension of the
option to increase the payment standard for the family at any time
after the effective date of the increase, rather than waiting for
the next regular reexamination.
Reason Waived: Extension for PHAs that were granted to the
opportunity to apply for certain regulatory waivers that were
originally offered as part of the CARES Act waivers in Notice PIH
2021-14 to provide continued flexibility during the pandemic and
pandemic recovery. HUD expeditiously responded to these waiver
request in accordance with Section 106 of the Department of Housing
and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989.
