Notice.

AGENCY:
ACTION:

On January 9, 2019, HUD
published a Federal Register notice
waiving and establishing an alternative
requirement for the timing of review of
Community Development Block Grant
Disaster Recovery (CDBG–DR) Action

SUMMARY:

Plans for Disaster Recovery and Action
Plan amendments that were pending
approval as of December 22, 2018. HUD
took this action due to the lapse in its
appropriations for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019
and the resultant inability to
satisfactorily complete the review and
approval process consistent with HUD’s
customary timeline. The January 9, 2019
notice stated that HUD would announce
a revised time period for completion of
the review of pending Action Plans and
amendments following enactment of
funding for the Department’s normal
operations. Through this notice, HUD
announces the revised review deadline.
DATES:

Applicability Date: February 28,

2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
Public Law 115–123 1 appropriated
$28 billion of CDBG–DR funding for two
purposes: (1) To address unmet needs
arising from certain major declared
disasters that occurred in 2017; 2 and (2)
to fund mitigation activities for all
CDBG–DR grantees that received CDBG–
DR funding in response to unmet needs
arising from major disasters declared in
2015, 2016, and 2017. These funds were
in addition to $7.4 billion appropriated
by Public Law 115–56 3 for unmet needs
arising from major declared disasters in
2017. HUD allocated virtually all
funding for unmet needs and
established administrative requirements
via two Federal Register notices
1 See Further Additional Supplemental
Appropriations for Disaster Relief Requirements
Act, 2018, title XI, subdivision I, division B, of
Public Law 115–123.
2 Of the amounts for unmet needs, $2 billion in
CDBG–DR is more specifically for the purpose of
enhancing or improving electrical power systems in
jurisdictions affected by Hurricane Maria in 2017.
A Federal Register notice for such amounts will be
published in the future.
3 See Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster
Relief Requirements, 2017, division B of Public Law
115–56.

published on February 9, 2018,4 and
August 14, 2018.5
In general, the funds for unmet needs
are to be used for activities authorized
under title I of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974 6
(HCD Act) related to disaster relief,
long-term recovery, restoration of
infrastructure and housing, and
economic revitalization in the ‘‘most
impacted and distressed’’ areas resulting
from the qualifying major disaster. By
providing the supplemental disaster
recovery funding under title I of the
HCD Act, Congress implicates the
general statutory and regulatory
requirements of the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program.
Public Laws 115–123 and 115–56
require that, prior to the obligation of
funds, grantees must submit for
approval a plan to the Secretary that
details the proposed use of funds. The
February 9, 2018, and August 14, 2018,
Federal Register notices and 24 CFR
91.500(a) provide that HUD must review
these plans within 45 days from the date
of receipt. HUD may use its regulatory
waiver authority at 24 CFR 5.110 to
extend this review period to 60 days
from the date of receipt, consistent with
HUD’s implementation of section
105(c)(1) of the Cranston-Gonzalez
National Affordable Housing Act (42
U.S.C. 12705(c)(1)), which governs
action plan submissions under HUD’s
consolidated planning regulations at 24
CFR part 91.
Public Laws 115–123 and 115–56 also
authorize the Secretary of HUD to waive
or specify alternative requirements for
any statutory or regulatory provision
administered by HUD in connection
with CDBG–DR funds (except for
requirements related to fair housing,
nondiscrimination, labor standards, and
the environment) upon a finding of good
cause that the waiver or alternative
requirement is not inconsistent with the
overall purposes of title I of the HCD
Act.
Commencing at 12:00 a.m. Eastern
Standard Time (EST) on December 22,
2018, and ending on January 25, 2019,
HUD operations were limited to certain
excepted activities as a result of the
lapse in FY 2019 appropriations. As a
result, HUD could not be assured of
completing its review of pending
submissions and issuing affirmative
approvals within the 60-day period
established by section 105(c)(1) of the
Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable
Housing Act. Accordingly, on January 9,
