2022-21503. Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the First Quarter of Calendar Year 2022

AGENCY:

Office of the General Counsel, HUD.

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

Section 106 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (the HUD Reform Act) requires HUD to publish quarterly Federal Register notices of all regulatory waivers that HUD has approved. Each notice covers the quarterly period since the previous Federal Register notice. The purpose of this notice is to comply with the requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act. This notice contains a list of regulatory waivers granted by HUD during the period beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on March 31, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

For general information about this notice, contact Aaron Santa Anna, Associate General Counsel for Legislation and Regulations, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 10276, Washington, DC 20410-0500, telephone [phone] (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 § 58.73 and § 58.74 would appear sequentially in the listing under § 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.

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.

• 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 [phone].

• 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), 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.”

• 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 [phone].

• 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 [phone].

• 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.

• 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 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 [phone].

• 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 [phone].

• 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: [phone].

• 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.
