    In addition to the Federal Requirements set forth in 24 CFR part 5,

to the acceptance and use of assistance under this program by non-profit 
grantees. Grantees are also subject to the audit requirements described 
in 24 CFR part 44 (OMB Circular A-128).
    (b) Conflict of interest. In addition to the conflict of interest 
requirements in OMB Circular A-87 and 24 CFR part 85, no person who is 
an employee, agent, consultant, officer, or elected or appointed 
official of the applicant, and who exercises or has exercised any 
function or responsibilities with respect to activities assisted with 
CHSP grant funds, or who is in a position to participate in a decision-
making process or gain inside information with regard to such 
activities, may obtain a personal or financial interest or benefit from 
the activity, or have an interest in any contract, subcontract, or 
agreement with respect thereto, or any proceeds thereunder, either for 
himself or herself or for those with whom he or she has family or 
business ties during his or her tenure, or for one year thereafter. CHSP 
employees may receive reasonable salary and benefits.
    (c) Disclosures required by Reform Act. Section 102(c) of the HUD 
Reform Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 3545(c)) requires disclosure concerning 
other government assistance to be made available with respect to the 
Program and parties with a pecuniary interest in CHSP and submission of 
a report on expected sources and uses of funds to be made available for 
CHSP. Each applicant shall include information required by 24 CFR part 
12 on form HUD-2880 ``Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report,'' as 
required by the Federal Register Notice published on January 16, 1992, 
at 57 FR 1942.
    (d) Nondiscrimination and equal opportunity. (1) The fair housing 
poster regulations (24 CFR part 110) and advertising guidelines (24 CFR

applicants and beneficiaries in accordance with section 562 of the 
Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 and section 808(e)(6) of 
the Fair Housing Act.
    (e) Environmental requirements. Support services, including the 
operating and administrative expenses described in section 700.115(a), 
are categorically excluded from the requirements of the National 
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. These actions, however, are not 
excluded from individual compliance requirements of other environmental 
statutes, Executive Orders, and agency regulations where appropriate. 
When the responsible official determines that any action under this part 
may have an environmental effect because of extraordinary circumstances, 
the requirements of NEPA shall apply.
