Public Housing Development; Major Reconstruction of Obsolete
Public Housing (MROP)
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This proposed rule would add a new subpart F to the
Department's regulations at 24 CFR part 941, which govern public
housing development by public housing agencies. The new subpart F would
set forth the requirements and procedures applicable to the major
reconstruction of obsolete public housing (MROP) projects. This
proposed rule also would implement the provisions of section 111 of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 which pertain to MROP
projects. The specific provisions that would comprise subpart F are
discussed in the Supplementary Information section of this document.
DATES: Comment Due Date: September 12, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding
this rule to the Office of General Counsel, Rules Docket Clerk, Room

II. Background
Sections 4 and 5 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42
U.S.C. 1437b, 1437c and 1437g) (the Act) authorize the Department to
provide technical and financial assistance to public housing agencies
(PHAs) for the development of low income housing projects, including
the major reconstruction of obsolete public housing projects. The
Department's regulations at 24 CFR part 941 establish: the requirements
and procedures for the development of low-income housing (excluding
Indian housing) by PHAs; development methods to be utilized for public
housing projects; PHA eligibility requirements; the application and
proposal procedures and other program requirements, which include a
number of Federal statutory and administrative requirements applicable
to public housing development.
The Department will in the future publish under a separate proposed
rule comprehensive changes to part 941 that reflect the Department's
redesign of the public housing development program.
This proposed rule is more limited and would only add a new subpart
F to the existing part 941 to address the requirements and procedures
applicable to the major reconstruction of obsolete public housing
(MROP) projects. Section 111(a) of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 28, 1992)
(the 1992 Act) amends section 5(j)(2) of the Act regarding MROP
projects. Section 5(j)(2), among other things, provides a definition
for ``obsolete public housing project or building''; specifies that
funding for MROP will be distributed on the basis of competition; and
lists the criteria by which PHAs will be awarded funds. In accordance
with sections 111(c) and 191 of the 1992 Act, which provide for
rulemaking to implement section 111, this proposed rule would implement
the provisions of section 111(a). The regulatory sections that would
comprise subpart F are as follows:
Section 941.601. This section would provide that subpart F sets
forth the basic policies and general requirements applicable to MROP
projects. With respect to applicability, this section would provide
that, unless otherwise stated, subpart F would apply to all MROP
projects funded in Federal Fiscal Year 1995 and thereafter.
Section 941.602. This section would address MROP funding by
providing that any notice of funding availability (NOFA) issued under
24 CFR part 941, subpart F, will reflect the current statutory
requirements applicable to MROP projects.
Section 941.603. This section would describe the criteria a project
must meet to be eligible for MROP funding. Some of the eligibility
requirements, listed in this section, include the following: the
project must be a rental project, and not a homeownership project; the
project must have been financed under section 5 of the Act and be under
an Annual Contributions Contract (ACC), or be a section 23 bond
financed leased housing project which meets certain conditions; the
existing project must have had an approved actual development cost
certificate (ADCC) for five years before the application submission
deadline; and the project must be determined to be obsolete. With
respect to the determination of obsolete, the requirements of section
5(j)(2) of the Act, as added by section 111 of the 1992 Act are being
incorporated.
In accordance with section 5(j)(2)(E) of the Act, Sec. 941.603
would prohibit MROP assistance to any project or building assisted
within five years of the MROP application by Comprehensive Improvement
Assistance Program (CIAP) or Comprehensive Grant Program (CGP)
modernization funds under section 14 of the Act (through inclusion in
an approved ``annual statement of work''). A proposed MROP which
received emergency modernization funding within the time frame is
excluded from the five-year prohibition stated above.
Section 941.604. This section would address the limitations imposed
on the use of MROP funds.
Section 941.605. This section would describe the general
requirements applicable to the MROP program; these include (1) those
set forth in subpart A of part 941, with the exception that MROP
projects may only be developed by: (a) sealed bid method with award to
the lowest responsible bidder; or (b) competitive proposal method
whereby the PHA would execute a fixed price contract in which the
contractor would be responsible for design of specific work items in
the Request for Proposals, soliciting and contracting for construction
work, contract administration and construction administration and
construction inspection; the contract would either provide progress
payments, or a lump sum payment after successful completion of all
work; and (2) the requirements set forth in subpart B, with certain
exceptions. With respect to the new MROP cost limit system required by
section 5(j)(2)(D) of the Act, a methodology is proposed in this
section.
Section 941.606. This section would describe the application
submission requirements of the MROP program.
Section 941.607. This section would address the MROP proposal and
would provide that MROP proposals must comply with the provisions of
Sec. 941.404.
Section 941.608. This section would address MROP project
development and would provide for compliance with the procedures and
requirements of subpart E, except as modified by Sec. 941.608.
In the regulatory text that follows the preamble section ``Other
Matters,'' the reader should note that the terms ``Act'' and ``ACC''
are not defined in subpart F, because these terms are defined in
subpart A of part 941. The ``Act'' refers, as previously noted, to the
United States Housing Act of 1937, and ``ACC'' refers to Annual
Contributions Contract.
Other Matters
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 implement section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969. The Finding is available for public inspection between
7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. weekdays in the Office of the Rules Docket
Clerk at the above address.
Impact on Small Entities
The Secretary, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 605(b)), has reviewed this proposed rule before publication,
and, by approving it, certifies that this proposed rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
The rule's major effect is on public housing agencies (PHAs) which are
state and local governmental entities. The proposed rule adds a new
subpart for the major reconstruction of obsolete public housing
projects, as required by the Act, and incorporates provisions requested
by industry groups; as such, it is anticipated that it will be
considered beneficial to PHAs.
Federalism Impact
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a)
of Executive Order No. 12612, Federalism, has determined that this
proposed rule would not have a substantial, direct effect on the States
or their political subdivisions or on the relationship between the
Federal government and the States, or on the distribution of power or
responsibilities among the various levels of government. No significant
change in the relationships or responsibilities of the various levels
of government will result from this proposed rule.
Impact on the Family
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under Executive
Order 12606, The Family, has determined that this proposed rule would
not have a 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.
Regulatory Agenda
This proposed rule was listed as sequence number 1684 in the
Department's Semiannual Agenda of Regulations published on April 25,
1994 (59 FR 20424, 20469) under Executive Order 12866 and the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Accordingly, 24 CFR part 941 would be amended as follows:
PART 941--PUBLIC HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
1. The authority citation for part 941 would continue to read as
follows:
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 1437b, 1437c, and 1437g; 42 U.S.C. 3535(d).
2. A new subpart F, consisting of Secs. 941.601-941.608, would be
added to read as follows:
Subpart F--Major Reconstruction of Obsolete Public Housing (MROP)
Projects
Sec.
941.601 Scope and applicability.
941.602 MROP funding.
941.603 MROP eligibility criteria.
941.604 Uses of MROP funding.
941.605 General program requirements.
941.606 MROP application.
941.607 MROP proposal.
941.608 MROP project development.
Subpart F--Major Reconstruction of Obsolete Public Housing (MROP)
Projects
Sec. 941.601 Scope and applicability.
(a) Scope. This subpart F sets forth the basic policies and general
requirements for the public housing Major Reconstruction of Obsolete
Public Housing (MROP) projects program originally instituted pursuant
to the FY 1986 HUD-Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, and
thereafter covered by section 5(j), as amended by section 111 of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 1437c(j)(2)).
Unless otherwise stated in this subpart F, subparts A through E of part
941 apply to MROPs.
(b) Applicability. Unless otherwise stated herein, this subpart
applies in its entirety to all MROP projects funded in FY 1995 and
thereafter, beginning with their current development processing and
monitoring stage. All MROP projects funded prior to the effective date
of this regulation shall continue to comply with the criteria on which
their selection for funding was based.
(c) PHA Eligibility. PHAs eligible for MROP funding are those which
have the required legal authority and local cooperation stated under
Sec. 941.201. An eligible PHA may include a troubled PHA, and if
included, the criteria which a troubled PHA must meet to be eligible
for funding will be specified in the notice of funding availability
issued in accordance with this subpart.
Sec. 941.602 MROP funding.
While section 5(j)(2) of the Act limits MROP funding to no more
than 20 percent of available funding, recent Appropriation Acts have
provided that HUD may approve applications for development and/or MROP
based on applications submitted, or pursuant to a statutory funding
set-aside. As a result, any notice of funding availability (NOFA)
issued pursuant to 24 CFR part 941 will reflect the applicable
statutory requirements.
Sec. 941.603 MROP eligibility criteria.
To be eligible for MROP funding, a project must meet the following
criteria:
(a) Rental. The project must be rental and not homeownership.
(b) Federally assisted PHA-owned. The project must have been
financed under section 5 of the Act and under ACC; or be a section 23
bond financed leased housing project which was converted to public
housing by ACC amendment and is now covered by a cooperation agreement,
has clear title vested in the PHA, and there are no legal obstacles
affecting the PHA's use of the project during the required additional
40-year term of the ACC.
(c) Five-year ADCC. The existing project must have had an approved
actual development cost certificate (ADCC) for five years or more prior
to the application submission deadline of the NOFA.
(d) Obsolete project. The existing project must be determined to be
obsolete; i.e., the project, or that portion designated to comprise the
MROP project, must have design or marketability problems that have
resulted in:
(1) Current vacancies of more than 25 percent of the units
available for occupancy; or
(2)(i) Estimated costs for redesign, reconstruction or
redevelopment (including any costs for lead-based paint abatement
activities) that exceed 70 percent of the total current development
cost limits for new construction of similar units in the area, but not
more than 100 percent of the maximum cost based on the most recently
issued MROP limits issued pursuant to section 5(j)(2)(D) of the Act
(see Sec. 941.605(b)(2)); and
(ii) The project or building has: an occupancy density or a
building height that is significantly in excess of that which prevails
in the neighborhood; or a bedroom configuration that could be altered
to better serve the needs of families seeking occupancy to public
housing; significant security problems in and around the project; or
significant physical deterioration or inefficient energy and utility
systems.
(3) The deficiencies must have been determined correctable under
the Comprehensive Grant Program (CGP) or the Comprehensive Improvement
Assistance Program (CIAP) procedures (see 24 CFR part 968 and related
issuances to ensure long-term viability).
(e) Long-term viability. The project must be determined to have
long-term viability (i.e., a useful life with full occupancy) of more
than 20 years after completion of reconstruction, and the ACC for the
MROP project must remain in effect for 40 years.
(f) MROP project composition. (1) An MROP project may consist of
one or more or all of the buildings of a single existing public housing
project, provided that the funds reserved are sufficient to complete
all the necessary redesign, reconstruction, or redevelopment for the
entire structure(s) designated for the MROP project. Where funds
available in a given year are insufficient or would require a
disproportionate amount to fund all of the buildings of an existing
project, staging over several years is not permitted, and the existing
project must be separated by buildings (individually or in a
combination) into portions to establish separate MROP projects, each to
be funded separately, and each having a separate project number. The
funds for each MROP project must be kept separate and may not be
commingled.
(2) If a PHA submits an MROP application for an entire project and
it is determined to be approvable under a NOFA published after the
effective date of this regulation, but because of funding limitations
only a part of the project is funded, if funds become available in a
future fiscal year, additional buildings of the project may be approved
for MROP without regard to vacancy, cost and viability criteria of
paragraph (e) of this section under a subsequent NOFA, provided that:
(i) An application for a separate MROP project, or any portion of
the project not funded, is submitted in response to a subsequent NOFA,
and meets threshold approvability, and all other NOFA requirements,
except for vacancy, cost and viability requirements; and
(ii) Is selected on the basis of its rating and ranking among other
MROP applications submitted in response to the NOFA.
(g) MROP with modernization. MROP assistance may not be provided
for any project or building assisted within five years of the MROP
application by CGP or CIAP modernization funds under section 14 of the
Act (through inclusion in an approved ``annual statement of work'') or
HOPE VI under the FY 1993 and 1994 Appropriation Acts.
(h) MROP with Demo/Dispo. Demolition/disposition (demo/dispo) of
existing units may be included as part of an MROP only if required to
meet the long-term viability requirement; however, 75 percent of the
units in the project or portion of the project which comprise the MROP
application must be reconstructed. An MROP application which involves
partial demo/dispo must either indicate the date that a demo/dispo
application was approved by HUD, or the date the demo/dispo application
was submitted. If the demo/dispo application was not approved by the
date of the MROP application, the MROP application must be accompanied
by evidence of the approval by the unit of general local government in
which the project is located; this approval may be obtained from the
Chief Executive Officer.
(i) MROP with unit conversions. Conversions are not subject to
section 18 of the Act; however, a proposed conversion must be approved
before an MROP involving a conversion may be approved, or an
application for said conversion must have been submitted (see
Sec. 941.604(d)).
Sec. 941.604 Uses of MROP funding.
The following establish limitations on the use of MROP funds:
(a) Management improvements. Management improvements limited to the
MROP project are eligible costs under MROP to the extent that such
proposed management improvement is necessary for the viability of the
project; i.e., to maintain the proposed physical improvements of the
MROP project.
(b) Development and property acquisition. Development of additional
units is an ineligible cost under MROP.
(c) Demo/dispo and replacement. The MROP project may include the
cost of approved demo/dispo pursuant to Sec. 941.603(h). MROP funds may
not be used for replacement housing.
(d) MROP conversion of units. Costs of converting existing dwelling
units to different bedroom sizes or to nondwelling space are eligible
MROP costs only as follows:
(1) It must be demonstrated that the units proposed for conversion
are in excess of the needs of the PHA and there is a greater need for
the proposed converted units; and
(2) The proposed conversion must not result in a net reduction
greater than that permitted under Sec. 941.603(h).
(e) MROP conversion of non-dwelling space. Conversion from non-
dwelling use to dwelling use is permitted under MROP. Conversion in use
of non-dwelling space (e.g., community to management or vice versa) is
eligible under MROP.
(f) Duplicate funding. The PHA shall not receive duplicate funding
for the same work item or activity under any circumstance, and shall
establish controls to assure that any activity, program, or project
that is funded under any other HUD program, shall not be funded by
MROP.
Sec. 941.605 General program requirements.
(a) Subpart A. Subpart A of part 941 is applicable to the MROP
program, except that MROP projects may only be developed by:
(1) Sealed bid procurement method with award to the lowest
responsible bidder; or
(2) Competitive proposal method, whereby the PHA would execute a
fixed price contract in which the contractor would be responsible for
design of specific work items identified in the Request for Proposals,
soliciting and contracting for construction work, contract
administration and construction inspection; the contract could either
provide for progress payments, as in the sealed bid method, or a lump
sum after successful completion of all work.
(b) Subpart B. Subpart B of this part applies to the MROP program,
except:
(1) Since the site is already owned and the structures are already
present, the following provisions of subpart B are not applicable to
the MROP program: Sec. 941.202 (concerning site and neighborhood
standards); Sec. 941.203 (a), (e) and (f) (concerning certain
requirements of the design and construction standards); Sec. 941.206
(concerning eligible properties); and Sec. 941.405(b)(1) (concerning
the section 213 review). Instead, the modernization and energy
conservation standards set forth in 24 CFR part 968 are applicable and
the environmental requirements must be met before an MROP application
may be approved, as under CIAP (24 CFR part 968). The Intergovernmental
Review under Executive Order 12372 (see Sec. 941.405(b)(2)) must be
completed before an MROP application may be approved.
(2) Pursuant to section 5(j)(2)(D) of the Act, HUD will establish
limitations on the total costs for MROP recognizing the higher direct
costs of MROP work as related to new development and modernization, and
the requirements of Sec. 941.204 are therefore modified. The total MROP
cost (TMC) limitations which HUD establishes will be used as a maximum
for the purpose of reserving the funds for MROP projects and represent
the maximum TMC that may be approved and included in the ACC for an
MROP project.
(i) As in the case of the total development cost (TDC) limitations
under Sec. 941.204, the TMC limitations are established for specific
unit sizes (i.e., number of bedrooms) and structure types (i.e.,
detached, semi-detached, row, walk-up and elevator), and market areas
(which are areas where trade conditions and economic influences tend to
make costs substantially the same); they will be issued periodically by
notice sent to all PHAs; and any donations will be treated in the same
way as stated in Sec. 941.204(d).
(ii) The TMC limitations shall be determined by doubling the
average of two nationally recognized residential construction cost
indices for good and sound quality housing.
(3) Since eligibility for MROP is based on different cost
requirements, Sec. 941.406(a)(1), which concerns maximum TDC at fund
reservation, is modified to provide that the total MROP project cost
that may be approved with HUD funds at the time of initial fund
reservation, is limited to at least 70 percent of the maximum TDC based
on the most recently issued TDC limitations for new construction of
similar units in the area, but not more than 100 percent of the maximum
TMC based on the MROP limitations most recently issued pursuant to
section 5(j)(2)(D) of the Act (see Sec. 941.605(b)(2)), except that the
reservation amount will be trended by projected construction cost
increases over the next 18 months. In addition, Sec. 941.406(a)(2)
which concerns maximum TDC after fund reservation, is inapplicable;
there will be no amendment funds to increase the original amount of the
MROP activities fund reservation.
(4) A development project for MROP activities must have long-term
viability (see Sec. 941.603(e)) after completion of reconstruction and
the annual contributions contract (ACC) for the MROP project must
remain in effect for 40 years. In determining viability, the PHA must
have a comprehensive plan (funded from other sources such as CIAP, CGP
or donations, etc.) for the project for which the development funds for
MROP activities are being requested. The comprehensive plan for the
project may be part of the PHA's comprehensive plan for modernization.
The comprehensive plan must demonstrate a strategy which will assure
that the entire development will be viable for a minimum period of 20
years. This strategy may include, but not be limited to, an estimate of
the required amount needed for rehabilitation of the remaining portion
of the development to the extent additional rehabilitation is required;
sources of funding for any additional work; any proposed demolition/
disposition that may be planned; and written evidence of local
government and resident support for the strategy.
Sec. 941.606 MROP application.
Eligibility for MROP application approval shall be determined using
the CIAP application and procedures under 24 CFR part 968, as modified
by the regulations of this part.
(a) Application submission. To apply for MROP funds, an eligible
PHA shall submit a CIAP application in the form prescribed by HUD to
the appropriate HUD Office in response to an issued NOFA. The
application must identify the entire existing project, the portion
proposed as the MROP project, explain how the PHA and the requested
MROP meet the eligibility, rating and other criteria of the NOFA,
identify the proposed physical and management improvement needs,
estimated costs and funding sources.
(1) The application must include a statement of the PHA's
priorities for receiving funding, and if it is submitting more than one
application, whether it will accept funding for fewer units than
requested (refusal to accept fewer units may result in application non-
funding due to a disproportionate requirement for funds), and indicate
whether the application should be considered for CIAP funding, if
appropriate, if the project is determined ineligible for MROP.
(2) The application must be accompanied by a PHA Resolution and
certifications required under the NOFA that the PHA will comply with
the requirements of 24 CFR part 941.
(3) If demo/dispo or conversion is needed for long-term viability
after reconstruction, the PHA must so state in its MROP application and
advise as to the status of its demo/dispo or conversion application
(see 24 CFR 941.603 (h) and (i)).
(b) Application receipt and processing. HUD Offices will receive,
screen applications, and notify PHAs under the deficiency notice
procedure set forth in the NOFA issued for fund availability under 24
CFR part 941.
(1) Review, rating and ranking, and selection for funding shall
occur in accordance with the criteria stated in the published NOFA,
which for MROP shall be largely based on the PHA's management
capability to carry out the proposed MROP activities (considering the
PHA's latest rating under the Public Housing Management Assessment
Program), the expected term of useful life of the project or building
after completion of proposed MROP activities, the likelihood of
achieving full occupancy within the project or building after
completion of MROP activities, and such other factors as the Secretary
may determine, including statutory provisions which may cause the above
factors to change.
(2) Funds shall be reserved in accordance with Sec. 941.605(b)(2),
and PHAs shall be notified in accordance with the NOFA issued for
funding availability under 24 CFR part 941.
Sec. 941.607 MROP proposal.
Following application approval and fund reservation, MROP projects
will be processed under the development procedures and a project
planning conference to discuss program requirements and the time
schedule shall be held. The PHA shall incorporate its approved
application into a proposal described in Sec. 941.404, and upon its
approval, an ACC will be executed in the form prescribed by HUD.
Sec. 941.608 MROP project development.
MROP project development shall proceed in accordance with subpart
E, with the following modifications:
(a) No site/property acquisition. Since the property is already
owned, Sec. 941.501 is inapplicable.
(b) Development method. If the sealed bid method is used (as
described in Sec. 941.605) only Secs. 941.502 (a) and (b) are
applicable; however, no cost adjustments shall be made. If the
competitive proposal method is used, Sec. 941.502 is inapplicable, and
Sec. 941.605(a)(2) shall be followed.
(c) Reconstruction, acceptance of contract work, and completion.
Sections 941.503 (concerning reconstruction requirements), 941.504
(concerning acceptance of contract work), and 941.505 (concerning
completion of development) are applicable to MROP projects, except that
there shall be no initial operating period or cost as under
Sec. 941.505(a) since the PHA will be receiving operating subsidy for
the units under the original project until completion of the MROP
project. A Date of Full Availability (DOFA) shall be established as the
last day of the month in which substantially all the units in the MROP
project are available for occupancy after reconstruction; the PHA and
HUD will execute an amendment to the ACC to remove the units of the
MROP project from the original development project, and initiate the
operating subsidy for the MROP project units, both effective as the end
of the quarter in which DOFA was achieved. Changes to applicable data
systems shall also be effective as of that date.
Dated: June 13, 1994.
