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.
Additionally, this notice includes waivers made pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act CARES Act, not previously published in the Federal Register. These waivers are listed separately from other individual waivers within each program office grouping, as CARES Act waivers broadly covered all affected parties rather than individual, case-by-case situations. The lists include additional Memoranda and Notices issued regarding broad CARES Act waivers provided by HUD since the enactment of the Act on March 27, 2020. In addition, the lists provide a short, twoor three-line description of each memo or notice, identifying the specific CARES Act authority and purpose of the waivers addressed therein.
