has approved. Each notice covers the quarterly period since the
previous Federal Register notice. The purpose of this notice is to

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general information about this
notice, contact Aaron Santa Anna, Associate
[[Page 60188]]
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).
Persons with hearing- or speech-impairments may access this number
through TTY by calling the toll-free Federal Relay Service at 800-877-
8339.
For information concerning a particular waiver that was granted and
for which public notice is provided in this document, contact the
person whose name and address follow the description of the waiver
granted in the accompanying list of waivers that have been granted in
the first 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
January 1, 2022 through March 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.
Should HUD receive additional information about waivers granted
during the period covered by this report (the first quarter of calendar
year 2022) before the next report is published (the second quarter of
calendar year 2022), HUD will include any additional waivers granted
for the first 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 Smith,
General Counsel.
Appendix
Listing of Waivers of Regulatory Requirements Granted by Offices of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development January 1, 2022 Through
March 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
Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Community Planning and
Development
For further information about the following regulatory waivers,
please see the name of the contact person that immediately follows
the description of the waiver granted.
<bullet> Regulation: 24 CFR 91.105(e)(1) and (2), 24 CFR
91.115(b)(3)(i), 24 CFR 91.401, and 24 CFR 570.431, 570.441, and
570.486(a)(5).
Project/Activity: Any HUD Community Planning and Development
(CPD) grantee in the preparation of their FY 2022 Consolidated Plan
or Annual Action Plan and FY 2022 Plan substantial amendments.
Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 91.105(e)(1) and (2), 24 CFR
91.115(b)(3)(i), 24 CFR 91.401, and 24 CFR 570.431, 570.441, and
570.486(a)(5) set forth requirements for a grantee's citizen
participation plan in the development of the consolidated plan.
These requirements include the minimum number of hearings, the
methods of holding hearings, requirements on providing adequate
notice for hearings, and requirements on obtaining informed comment.
Date Granted: March 3, 2022.
Reason Waived: HUD recognizes that efforts to contain COVID-19
require limiting in person public gatherings, such as those often
used to obtain citizen views and respond to proposals and questions.
Therefore, HUD waives the regulation to the extent necessary to
permit the following: For as long as national or local health
authorities recommend social distancing and limiting public
gatherings for public health reasons, CDBG, ESG, HOME, HTF, and
HOPWA grantees, units of general local government receiving grant
funds from a State, and insular area grantees, may hold virtual
public hearings in lieu of in-person public hearings to fulfill
public hearing requirements imposed by 42 U.S.C. 12707(a)(3) and the
regulations at 24 CFR part 91 and 24 CFR part 570, or by the
grantee's citizen participation plan for the preparation of FY2022
Consolidated Plans, Action Plans and any substantial amendments
thereto or to prior year plans.
Contact: James E. Hoemann, Director, Entitlement Communities
Division, Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing
and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7282, Washington,
DC 20410, telephone (202) 402-5716.
<bullet> Regulation: 24 CFR 92.212(b) (HOME participating
jurisdictions) and 24 CFR 570.200(h) (Entitlement CDBG program, the
Insular Areas CDBG program, and for grants to non-entitlement
counties in Hawaii)
Project/Activity: HUD Community Planning and Development (CPD)
grantees in the CDBG and HOME programs.
Nature of Requirement: Under 24 CFR 92.212(b) (HOME) and 24 CFR
570.200(h),
[[Page 60189]]
the effective date of the grant agreement is the program year start
date or the date that the consolidated plan is received by HUD,
whichever is later. These dates determine when a grantee may incur
pre-award costs. For HOME, eligible administrative and planning
costs may be incurred as of the beginning of the program year or the
date the consolidated plan describing the HOME allocation to which
the costs will be charged is received by HUD, whichever is later.
Granted By: James Arthur Jemison II, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: March 23, 2022.
Reason Waived: This waiver will allow a grantee or participating
jurisdiction to treat the effective date of the grant agreement as
the program year start date or the date that the consolidated plan/
action plan (with actual allocation amounts) is received by HUD,
whichever is earlier. HUD waives 24 CFR 92.212(b) to the extent
necessary to permit eligible pre-award costs to be incurred as of
the beginning of the program year or the date the consolidated plan
describing the HOME allocation to which the costs will be charged is
received by HUD, whichever is earlier. HUD recognizes that some
activities may be interrupted, and grantees might not otherwise be
able to use CDBG and HOME funds for ongoing planning and
administrative costs without this waiver. This waiver is in effect
until August 16, 2022, and was transmitted with the Notice CPD-22-05
``Guidance on Submitting Consolidated Plans and Annual Action Plans
for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022.''
Contact: Virginia Sardone, Director, Office of Affordable
Housing Programs, Office of Community Planning and Development,
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW,
Room 7160, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-2684.
James E. Hoemann, Director, Entitlement Communities Division,
Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7282, Washington, DC 20410,
telephone (202) 402-5716.
<bullet> Regulation: 24 CFR 92.214(a)(6).
Project/Activity: The City of Newton, Massachusetts, the lead
entity of the WestMetro HOME Consortium requested a waiver of 24 CFR
92.214(a)(6) to allow the participating jurisdiction to invest
additional HOME funds in a previously assisted HOME project, St.
Joseph Hall.
Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 92.214(a)(6)
prohibits a participating jurisdiction from investing additional
HOME funds in a previously assisted HOME project during its required
affordability period.
Granted By: James Arthur Jemison II, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: February 1, 2022.
Reason Waived: The original rehabilitation did not include
replacement of the elevator because the architect and general
contractor determined that it could remain operable with managed
investment over time. In 2017, the elevator manufacturer recommended
an overhaul of the elevator's system, however the LIHTC investor did
not approve funds for the work. In August 2019, the elevator became
inoperable and the owner had to relocate a majority of the elderly
tenants for approximately 14 days while the elevator underwent
repairs. These emergency repairs cost $71,252, which was
approximately 20 percent of the project's total reserves. The CHDO
determined that it must replace the elevator to avoid additional
costly emergency repairs. The Department recognizes that without an
additional investment of HOME funds, the property will not be able
to meet ongoing property standards, be at risk of financial
hardship, and the wellbeing of the elderly tenants would be
significantly impacted.
Contact: Virginia Sardone, Director, Office of Affordable
Housing Programs, Office of Community Planning and Development,
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW,
Room 7160, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-2684.
<bullet> Regulation: 24 CFR 92.252(d)(1) Utility Allowance
Requirements.
Project/Activity: San Mateo County, California requested a
waiver of 24 CFR 92.252(d)(1) to allow use of the utility allowance
established by the local public housing agency (PHA) for the Colma
Veterans Village HOME-assisted project.
Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 92.252(d)(1)
requires participating jurisdictions to establish maximum monthly
allowances for utilities and services (excluding telephone) and
update the allowances annually. However, participating jurisdictions
are not permitted to use the utility allowance established by the
local public housing authority for HOME-assisted rental projects for
which HOME funds were committed on or after August 23, 2013.
Granted By: James Arthur Jemison II, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: February 1, 2022.
Reason Waived: The HOME requirements for establishing a utility
allowances conflict with Project Based Voucher program requirements.
It is not possible to use two different utility allowances to set
the rent for a single unit and it is administratively burdensome to
require a project owner establish and implement different utility
allowances for HOME-assisted units and non-HOME assisted units in a
project.
Contact: Virginia Sardone, Director, Office of Affordable
Housing Programs, Office of Community Planning and Development,
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW,
Room 7160, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-2684.
<bullet> Regulation: 24 CFR 570.705(f): Loan Requirements, Loan
Repayment Period.
Project/Activity: Bucks County of Pennsylvania requested a
waiver of the regulations governing loan guarantees under Section
108 of the Housing and Community Development Act, as amended, to
extend the maximum term of the guaranteed loan. The maximum loan
repayment period at 24 CFR 570.705 (f) is twenty years. The initial
maturity of the guaranteed loan was August 1, 2022, which would have
resulted in a repayment period of nineteen years and two months. The
waiver permitted the extension of the maturity to August 1, 2023 and
resulted in a loan term of 20 years and two months. The project
financed by the guaranteed loan entails the acquisition of real
property and infrastructure construction for a mixed-use economic
development project.
Nature of Requirement: The term of debt obligations under 24 CFR
Subpart M-Loan Guarantees shall not exceed twenty years.
Granted by: James Arthur Jemison II, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: January 11, 2022.
Reason Waived: The need for an extended timeline resulted from
additional, unexpected remediation activities and COVID-19 delays.
The financial consequence of the COVID-19 crisis was substantial in
that it delayed the completion and sale of property assisted under
the project by an additional year.
The revenue generated from the sale of the property is the
intended source of repayment of the guaranteed loan. Extending the
maximum term will therefore enhance both the financial feasibility
of the assisted project and the security for repayment of the
guaranteed loan.

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.
<bullet> Regulation: 24 CFR 206.304(b)(2).
Project/Activity: The requirement for a Home Equity Conversion
Mortgage (HECM) counselor to have passed an exam within the prior 3
years to remain on the HECM Counselor Roster and of HUD Housing
Counseling Handbook 7610.1 REV-5. Chapter 4, Reverse Mortgage
Housing Counseling, paragraph 4-2.
Nature of Requirement: This temporary waiver is being issued to
ensure that HUD's HECM Roster pool remains at or near the current
level of approximately 450 approved and HUD-certified HECM Roster
counselors.
Granted by: Lopa P. Kolluri, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: January 10, 2022.
Reason Waived: Absent this waiver, clients who are age 62 or
older and seeking an HECM are at risk of significant delays in
scheduling and completing the mandated counseling session before
loan application can proceed. The granting of the temporary waiver
is consistent with the Department's objectives to assist consumers
age 62 or older, who are considering applying for a HECM mortgage,
to schedule the counseling required for this FHA-insured loan
product in a timely manner; this temporary waiver will assist in
maintaining a large pool of qualified HECM roster counselors for
[[Page 60190]]
consumers selecting and scheduling their counseling.
Contact: Brian Siebenlist, Director, Housing Counseling, Office
of Policy and Grant Administration, Office of Housing, Department of
Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 9224,
Washington, DC 20024, telephone (202) 402-5145.
<bullet> Regulation: 24 CFR 214.300(a)(3).
Project/Activity: HUD's In-Person Service Housing Counseling
Program.
Nature of Requirement: Pursuant to 24 CFR 214.300(a)(3),
``[c]ounseling may take place in the office of the housing
counseling agency, at an alternate location, or by telephone, as
long as mutually acceptable to the housing counselor and client. All
agencies participating in HUD's Housing Counseling program that
provide services directly to clients must provide in-person
counseling to clients that prefer this format.''
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as of
December 20, 2021, Omicron has been detected in most states and
territories and is resulting in a rapid increase in COVID-19 cases.
In addition, the CDC and World Health Organization has asserted that
the Omicron variant likely will spread more easily than the original
SARS-CoV-2 virus. The CDC expects that anyone with Omicron infection
can spread the virus to others, even if they are vaccinated or do
not have symptoms.
HUD recognizes that there continues to be a demand for housing
counseling services by clients facing financial hardship due to the
spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Granted by: Lopa P. Kolluri, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner
Date Granted: February 7, 2022.
Reason Waived: This partial waiver allows participating agencies
to provide continuous services in a format other than in-person
without violating the requirements of 24 CFR 214.300(a)(3).
Contact: Brian Siebenlist, Director, Housing Counseling, Office
of Policy and Grant Administration, Office of Housing, Department of
Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 9224,
Washington, DC 20024, telephone (202) 402-5145.
<bullet> Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b).
Project/Activity: In-Chu-Co Apartments, FHA Project Number 053-
44032T, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Inter-Church Council Housing
Corporation (Owner) seeks approval to defer repayment of the
Flexible Subsidy Operating Assistance Loan on the subject project.
Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 219.220(b)
(1995), which governs the repayment of operating assistance provided
under the Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled Properties, 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 a sale of the project.''
Granted by: Lopa P. Kolluri, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Housing-Deputy Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: February 5, 2022.
Reason Waived: The owner requested and was granted waiver of the
requirement to repay the Flexible Subsidy Operating Assistance Loans
in full when they became due. Deferring the loan payments will
preserve these affordable housing resources for an additional 35
years through the execution and recordation of a Rental Use
Agreement.
Contact: Margaret Wingate, Acting Director, Field Asset
Management Division, Department of Housing and Urban Development,
451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20410, telephone: (202) 402-
2231.
<bullet> Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b) (1995).
Project/Activity: Weinberg Place, Baltimore, MD, FHA# 052-
SH009T.
Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 219.220(b)
(1995), which governs the repayment of operating assistance provided
under the Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled Projects, states
``Assistance that has been paid to a project owner under this
subpart must be repaid at the earlier of expiration of the term of
the mortgage, termination of mortgage insurance, prepayment of the
mortgage, or a sale of the project.'' The property is subject to a
pre-1974 Section 202 direct loan which matured on September 1, 2021
and was paid in full on September 18, 2021. The Project was awarded
two Flexible Subsidy Operating Assistance Loans (Flex Sub Loan(s))
in the combined amount of $2,166,344.00 in 1991 and 2001 at 1
percent interest per annum. The Flex Sub Loan Surplus Cash Note
contains a provision requiring payment of the principal and the
interest, in full, if the Section 202 direct mortgage loan matures
or is paid in full, or upon the sale, foreclosure, refinancing,
assignment or any other disposition of the project.
Granted by: Lopa P. Kolluri, Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing.
Date Granted: February 5, 2022.
Reason Waived: The proposed owner requested and was granted
waiver of the requirement to repay the Flex Sub Loans in full when
it became due. Deferring the loan payment will preserve the
affordable housing resource for an additional 20 years through the
execution and recordation of a Use Agreement. The proposed owner
plans to pay off the entire Flex Sub Loans combined principal
balance of $2,166,344.00. The Flex Sub Loan as of October 15, 2021,
had accrued interest of approximately $518,928.30 based upon the
current interest rate of 1 percent. Therefore, the owner's total
outstanding obligation under this Flex Sub loan, as of October 15,
2021, was $2,685,272.30. A new pay off request to include interest
will be requested at least 30 days prior to closing.
Until repayment, the balance of the Flex Sub Loans will be
secured by a Surplus Cash Note. The current owner will allocate 75
percent of surplus cash to pay down the Flex Sub Loans between now
and closing on the LIHTC Transaction. The current owner will remain
subject to the Surplus Cash Note and the 75 percent of surplus cash
requirement even if the LIHTC transaction is not closed by March 31,
2022.
The Office of Recapitalization will require a 20-year Use
Agreement as a condition of the Flexible Subsidy Loan Repayment
Deferral. The Use Agreement will extend project affordability to 20
years from the date of the original Section 202 mortgage maturity or
the date of full repayment of the fully amortized Flexible Subsidy
Loan, whichever is longer.

Recapitalization, Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC, 20410, Room
