    ACTION: Final rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: To eliminate redundancy in several HUD program regulations 
    which repeat requirements that are applicable to two or more HUD 
    programs, this final rule establishes a new part 5 that will contain: 
    Definitions that are commonly found in many HUD program regulations; 
    the list of other Federal requirements that are generally applicable to 
    most HUD programs; and waiver authority (i.e., authority to waive 
    regulatory provisions). The consolidation of the above-noted provisions 
    in a single part will present uniformity, and assist program 
    participants in identifying those requirements that cut across several 
    of the HUD programs.
        Furthermore, this final rule amends 24 CFR part 40 to conform to 
    HUD's recently published rule eliminating obsolete or unnecessary parts 
    and subparts from title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: March 11, 1996.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Camille E. Acevedo, Assistant General 
    Counsel for Regulations, Office of General Counsel, Room 10276, 
    Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, 
    Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-3055. Hearing- or speech-
    impaired individuals may call HUD's TDD number (202) 708-9300 or 1-800-
    877-8399 (Federal Information Relay Service TDD). (Other than the 
    ``800'' number, these are not toll-free numbers.)
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    I. Background.
    
    A. Consolidation of HUD Program Requirements
    
        President Clinton's March 4, 1995 memorandum, Regulatory 
    Reinvention, directed the heads of the Federal departments and agencies 
    to review all existing regulations and to eliminate those requirements 
    found to be obsolete or unnecessary. The department and agency chiefs 
    were further directed to revise other regulations to increase 
    flexibility and reduce regulatory burden.
        HUD's page-by-page review evidenced that there are several 
    requirements that are applicable to several HUD funded programs. To 
    eliminate redundancy in the program regulations that repeat 
    requirements, and to assist program participants in identifying 
    requirements and procedures that are uniform in many HUD programs, this 
    final rule creates a new part 5 containing: (1) Definitions that are 
    used generally in HUD programs; (2) the list of other Federal 
    requirements; and (3) waiver authority (i.e., authority to waive 
    regulatory provisions). This final rule also amends HUD's program 
    regulations that contain these common definitions or Federal 
    requirements to remove these definitions and Federal requirements from 
    these individual regulations and provide a cross-reference to part 5. 
    Definitions or Federal requirements used only in a particular program, 
    or common definitions defined differently for a particular program, 
    will remain in the program regulations. The Department believes that 
    placing common definitions and those Federal requirements generally 
    applicable to several HUD programs in a new part 5 simplifies the 
    structure of HUD's regulations by removing duplicative regulations, and 
    also allows the user to determine which definitions are common to many 
    HUD programs and which Federal requirements are considered cross-
    cutting requirements.
        The general waiver provision established by this final rule permits 
    the Secretary of HUD, upon a finding of good cause, to waive any non-
    statutory requirement in title 24. Currently, several program 
    regulations authorize waivers only if the Secretary determines that 
    application of the regulatory requirements will result in ``undue 
    hardship'' to program participants and have an ``adverse effect'' on 
    the purposes of the program. Although the waiver provision of part 5 
    uses a ``good cause'' standard, this final rule does not represent a 
    change in policy. ``Undue hardship'' and ``adverse effect'' are merely 
    subcategories of ``good cause.'' Accordingly, this final rule will not 
    alter the criteria the Secretary currently uses to make waiver 
    determinations.
    
    B. Conforming Amendment to Part 40
    
        On September 11, 1995 (60 FR 47260), HUD published a final rule 
    eliminating obsolete parts and codified guidance from title 24 of the 
    Code of Federal Regulations. Among the guidance eliminated by the 
    September 11, 1995 rule was appendix A to part 40, which codified the 
    Accessibility Standards for Publicly Owned Residential Structures. 
    Since the guidelines are easily obtainable elsewhere, codification in 
    title 24 was unnecessary. This final rule creates a new Sec. 40.7 which 
    informs readers where they may obtain a copy of the accessibility 
    guidelines.
    
    C. Additional Consolidations To Be Included in Part 5
    
        HUD intends future rulemakings that will amend part 5 to include 
    other program requirements that are found in several programs 
    regulations and that would benefit by having the requirements 
    consolidated and set forth in part 5.
    
    II. Justification for Final Rulemaking
    
        It is HUD's policy to publish rules for public comment before their 
    issuance for effect, in accordance with its own regulations on 
    rulemaking found at 24 CFR part 10. However, part 10 provides that 
    prior public procedure will be omitted if HUD determines that it is 
    ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest'' (24 
    CFR 10.1). HUD finds that in this case prior public comment is 
    unnecessary because the consolidation of frequently repeated 
    definitions and program requirements does not affect or establish 
    policy. This final rule does not establish or eliminate program 
    requirements. Rather, in order to eliminate redundancy, this rule 
    relocates these generally applicable requirements to a new part in 
    title 24 of the CFR.
    
    III. Other Matters
    
    A. Environmental Impact
        A Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment 
    has been made in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 50, 
    which implements section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy 
    Act of 1969. The Finding of No Significant Impact is available for 
    public inspection between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. weekdays in the 
    Office of the Rules Docket Clerk. Office of General Counsel, Department 
    of Housing and Urban 
    
    [[Page 5199]]
    Development, Room 10276, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410.
    
    B. Executive Order 12612, Federalism
    
        The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a) 
    of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the policies 
    contained in this final rule will not have substantial direct effects 
    on States or their political subdivisions, or the relationship between 
    the Federal government and the States, or on the distribution of power 
    and responsibilities among the various levels of government. 
    Specifically, this rule merely consolidates requirements applicable to 
    all or most HUD programs in a single part. It effects no changes in the 
    current relationships between the Federal government, the States and 
    their political subdivisions in connection with these programs.
    
    C. Executive Order 12606, the Family
    
        The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under Executive 
    Order 12606, The Family, has determined that this rule does not have 
    potential for significant impact on family formation, maintenance, and 
    general well-being, and thus, is not subject to review under the order. 
    No significant change in existing HUD policies or programs will result 
    from promulgation of this rule, as those policies and programs relate 
    to family concerns.
    
    D. Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        The Secretary, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 
    U.S.C. 605(b)) has reviewed and approved this rule, and in so doing 
    certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on 
    a substantial number of small entities. This final rule merely 
    establishes a new part for frequently repeated program requirements, 
    and will not have any meaningful economic impact on any entity.

    for Indian tribes and IHAs. (1) The Indian Civil Rights Act (25 U.S.C. 
    1301 et seq.) applies to tribes when they exercise their powers of 
    self-government. Thus, it is applicable in all cases when an IHA has 
    been established by exercise of such powers. In the case of the IHA 
    established pursuant to State law, the applicability of the Indian 
    Civil Rights Act shall be determined on a case-by-case basis. 
    Development subject to the Indian Civil Rights Act must be developed 
    and operated in compliance with its provisions and all implementing HUD 
    requirements, instead of title VI and the Fair Housing Act and their 
    implementing regulations.
        (2) In the case of Indian tribes and IHAs, compliance with the 
    requirements of this section shall be to the maximum extent consistent, 
    but not in derogation of, the Indian Self-Determination and Education 
    Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450e(b)).
        (b) Affirmative fair housing marketing. The recipient must adopt a 
    strategy for informing and soliciting applications from people who are 
    least likely to apply, because of race, color, religion, sex, 
    disability, familial status, or national origin, for the program 
    without special outreach, consistent with the affirmative fair housing 
    marketing requirements. (See 24 CFR 92.351 for an example of an 
    affirmative strategy.) Paragraph (b) of this section does not apply to 
    Indian tribes and IHAs, as described in paragraph (a)(1) of this 
    section.

        (a) Nondiscrimination and equal opportunity. The nondiscrimination 
    and equal opportunity requirements at 24 CFR part 5 are modified as 
    follows:
        (1) Rehabilitation Act requirements. HUD's regulations at 24 CFR 
    part 8 implement section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29

    the requirement that the grantee or the State recipient make known that 
    use of the facilities and services is available to all on a 
    nondiscriminatory basis. If the procedures that the grantee or 
    recipient intends to use to make known the availability of the 
    facilities and services are unlikely to reach persons of any particular 
    race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, familial status, or 
    disability who may qualify for such facilities and services, the 
    grantee or recipient must establish additional procedures that will
