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, 2018 through March 31, 2018.
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

PO 00000

Frm 00079

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

30761

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 2018)
before the next report is published (the
second quarter of calendar year 2018),
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.
Dated: June 21, 2018.
J. Paul Compton Jr.,
General Counsel.
