Sec. 599.405  Selection of Renewal Communities.

    (a) Selection of Category 1 applications. (1) Six or less rural 
nominations. If there are six or fewer Category 1 rural area 
nominations, HUD will select all of the nominated rural areas in 
Category 1 for designation as Renewal Communities. HUD will then select 
the highest ranking Category 1 urban area nominations, but will not 
exceed a total of 20 Category 1 designations.
    (2) More than six rural nominations. If there are more than six 
Category 1 rural area nominations, HUD will select the six highest 
ranked Category 1 rural applications, and will then select, in rank 
order, the highest ranking Category 1 area nominations, whether urban or 
rural, until not more than a total of 20 Category 1 designations is 
made.
    (b) Selection of Category 2 applications. After not more than 20 
Category 1 designations are made in accordance with

[[Page 322]]

paragraph (a) of this section, any remaining Category 1 applications 
will be placed back in rank order into Category 2, with selections for a 
combined Category 1 and Category 2 total of not more than 40 
designations made as follows:
    (1) Less than six Category 1 rural applications. If the number of 
rural area applications selected in Category 1 is less than six, HUD 
will select the highest ranking rural area applications in Category 2 
until the total number of rural areas selected is 12. The remaining 
designations will be made from both rural and urban areas in rank order. 
If there are fewer than 12 eligible rural applications overall, counting 
both Category 1 and Category 2, all of the eligible rural applications 
will be selected.
    (2) Six or more Category 1 rural applications. If the number of 
rural area applications selected in Category 1 is six or more, HUD will 
select the six highest Category 2 rural applications. The remaining 
designations will be made from both rural and urban areas in rank order.
    (c) Effective date of designation. The effective date of designation 
as a Renewal Community is the date a nominated area is selected in 
accordance with this section.
