Given this tendency, HUD has been requiring a waiting period of 1 to 3 years before a Lead Hazard Reduction grantee is eligible for another Lead Hazard Reduction grant. For example, in its FY 2021 NOFO, HUD specified that if a jurisdiction received Lead Hazard Reduction grant funding in 2019 or 2020, it was not eligible to apply under the program; 22 and HUD specified in the FY 2024 NOFO that a jurisdiction that received Lead Hazard Reduction grant funding in 2023 was not eligible to apply under the program.23 HUD is interested in feedback on whether a waiting period of two years is appropriate for a potential Lead Hazard Reduction formula grant or whether some other waiting period would be appropriate for maximizing the production of lead safe and healthy housing units by individual formula grantees and the program overall. c. Effect of poor performance under a previous grant on the award of a new formula grant. HUD grant award requirements incorporate the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) grant regulations, particularly its Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards at 2 CFR part 200. In particular, OMB’s provisions relating to the award of grants 24 state that the pre-Federal award requirements and contents of Federal awards 25 apply to Federal grant agreements—such as the Lead Hazard Reduction grants with their Healthy Homes Supplements. Among those requirements is the Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants. Awarding agencies, including HUD, must have a framework for evaluating the risks posed by applicants before they receive Federal awards.26 HUD may decide that the risks posed by a particular jurisdiction are so high that the Department will not make an award to the jurisdiction, or HUD may apply special conditions to the grant that correspond to the degree of risk assessed. Among the factors that may be used in this risk evaluation is the jurisdiction’s history of performance in managing Federal awards.27 Under title X, HUD has a national perspective on the effective use of Lead Hazard Reduction grant funds to eliminate lead-based paint hazards in 22 Available at https://www.grants.gov/searchresults-detail/333884. 23 Available at https://www.grants.gov/searchresults-detail/355076. 24 See the table in 2 CFR 200.101(b)(2). 25 2 CFR part 200, subpart C. 26 2 CFR 200.206. 27 2 CFR 200.206(b)(2)(iii). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:23 Sep 13, 2024 Jkt 262001 housing as expeditiously as possible.28 HUD is interested in learning the public’s views on how the poor performance of a prior-year Lead Hazard Reduction grantee (whether its grant is awarded competitively or by formula) should affect HUD’s evaluation of the risk of awarding that grantee a formula grant. For example, HUD seeks suggestions regarding when not to award a grant to a previously poor performing grantee and, instead, award the funds to the jurisdiction with the next-highest need, and when and what special conditions to apply to a previously poor performing grantee. 3. Regarding award amounts, should a Lead Hazard Reduction formula grant program have smaller awards to geographically disperse the funding, or should larger grant amounts be awarded which would concentrate funding in certain highest-risk communities but reduce the number of jurisdictions receiving funds? Title X identifies several purposes for the Lead Hazard Reduction program,29 including to develop a national strategy to build the infrastructure necessary to eliminate lead-based paint hazards in all housing as expeditiously as possible and to reorient the national approach to the presence of lead-based paint in housing to implement, on a priority basis, a broad program to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards in the Nation’s housing stock. In implementing title X, HUD has awarded Lead Hazard Reduction grants across the U.S. to large and small jurisdictions, both rural and urban. If a formula grant program is authorized, HUD intends to continue the approach regarding jurisdictions’ size and urbanicity; however, HUD is interested in receiving feedback from the public on whether HUD’s formula grant resources should focus on addressing lead-based paint hazards in as many as possible high-risk locations across the U.S or focus on areas of highest potential lead exposure risk to have a greater effect on communities at highest risk, or in a balance between the two (and what the balancing criteria should be). 4. What should be the period of performance duration for a formula grant? HUD’s FY 2023 and FY 2024 Lead Hazard Reduction grant programs each have specified 48-month periods of performance. Previous grantee periods of performance have been 36 months 28 42 29 42 PO 00000 U.S.C. 4851a(1). U.S.C. 4851a. Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and 42 months. Historically, HUD has varied the periods of performance based predominately on the maximum award amount in a particular NOFO, with higher grant amounts necessitating longer periods of performance. HUD seeks public input on appropriate grant durations for a formula-based Lead Hazard Reduction grant. Matthew Ammon, Director, Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes.
