§ 950.210 - Authority for proceeding without HUD approval.
-
(a)
IHA authority to proceed. An IHA shall proceed with development functions without obtaining HUD approval except as otherwise specified in this part. An IHA shall accomplish necessary planning and administration activities to assure the timely completion of the development grant (generally six years from the initial development grant approval to development grant closeout).(b)
Rescinding authorization. At any time during the development process, HUD may make a determination, subject to the procedures specified under § 950.135, that an IHA shall obtain HUD approval of additional processing steps. If such a determination is made, HUD shall explain in writing the reasons for the determination and specify any processing steps that are subject to additional technical assistance and prior approval by HUD.(c)
Time constraints. The IHA shall commence project planning so that construction begins within 24 months of the initial development grant approval date. HUD shall not recapture funds reserved for the project during the 30-month period following the initial development grant approval. Excluded from the computation of the 30-month period shall be any delay caused by the failure of HUD to process such project within a reasonable period of time, any environmental review requirement (other than the failure to initiate the environmental review process by the responsible entity), any legal action affecting the project, or any other factor beyond the control of the IHA. If an IHA fails to reach construction start for a project within 24 months of the date of initial development grant approval, HUD shall analyze the circumstances that have resulted in the failure to reach construction start and, subject to the availability of resources, shall provide assistance to the IHA to enable construction start within 30 months after the date of initial development grant approval.
