regulations

in part 58 of this title, except that HUD will perform an environmental 
review in accordance with part 50 of this title prior to its approval of 
any conditionally selected applications for Fiscal Year 2000 and prior 
years that were received directly from private nonprofit entities and 
governmental entities with special or limited purpose powers. For 
activities under a grant that generally would be subject to review under 
part 58, HUD may make a finding in accordance with Sec. 58.11(d) and 
may itself perform the environmental review under the provisions of part 
50 of this title if the recipient objects in writing to the responsible 
entity's performing the review under part 58. Irrespective of whether 
the responsible entity in accord with part 58 (or HUD in accord with 
part 50) performs the environmental review, the recipient shall supply 
all available, relevant information necessary for the responsible entity 
(or HUD, if applicable) to perform for each property any environmental 
review required by this part. The recipient also shall carry out 
mitigating measures required by the responsible entity (or HUD, if 
applicable) or select alternate eligible property. HUD may eliminate 
from consideration any application that would require an Environmental 
Impact Statement (EIS).
    (b) The recipient, its project partners and their contractors may 
not acquire, rehabilitate, convert, lease, repair, dispose of, demolish 
or construct property for a project under this part, or commit or expend 
HUD or local funds for such eligible activities under this part, until 
the responsible entity (as defined in Sec. 58.2 of this title) has 
completed the environmental review procedures required by part 58 and 
the environmental certification and RROF have been approved or HUD has 
performed an environmental review under part 50 and the recipient has 
received HUD approval of the property. HUD will not release grant funds 
if the recipient or any other party commits grant funds (i.e., incurs 
any costs or expenditures to be paid or reimbursed with such funds) 
before the recipient submits and HUD approves its RROF (where such 
submission is required).
