L. 111-5, approved February 17, 2009) (Recovery Act) for Native Americans.

L. 111-8, approved March 11, 2009). Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs) that administer NAHBG and ICDBG programs should review this notice to determine which program requirements if waived, will ensure that Recovery Act funds can be awarded quickly and efficiently to meet the objectives of the Recovery Act. The waivers listed in this notice are applicable only to Recovery Act funds and will remain in effect until September 30, 2012.
