Sec. 50.32  Responsibility for environmental processing.

    The program staff in the HUD office responsible for processing the 
project application or recommending a policy action is responsible for 
conducting the compliance finding, EA, or EIS. The collection of data 
and studies as part of the information contained in the environmental 
review may be done by an applicant or the applicant's contractor. The 
HUD program staff may use any information supplied by the applicant or 
contractor, provided HUD independently evaluates the information, will 
be responsible for its accuracy, supplements the information, if 
necessary, to conform to the requirements of this part, and prepares the 
environmental finding. Assessments for projects over 200 lots/dwelling 
units or beds shall be sent to the Field Environmental Clearance Officer 
(FECO) or, in the absence of a FECO, to the Program Environmental 
Clearance Officer in Headquarters for review and comment.
