Sec. 970.4  General requirements for HUD approval of applications for 
demolition or disposition.

    HUD will not approve an application for demolition or disposition 
unless:
    (a) The application has been developed in consultation with tenants 
of the project involved, any tenant organizations for the project, and 
any PHA-wide tenant organizations that will be affected by the 
demolition or disposition;
    (b) Environmental review. Activities under this part are subject to 
HUD environmental regulations in part 58 of this title. However, 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 a PHA objects in writing to the responsible entity's performing the 
review under part 58.
    (c) [Reserved]
    (d) The public housing agency has developed a replacement housing 
plan, in accordance with Sec. 970.11, and has obtained a commitment for 
the funds necessary to carry out the plan over the approved schedule of 
the plan. To the extent such funding is not provided from other sources 
(e.g., State or local programs or proceeds of disposition), HUD approval 
of the application for demolition or disposition is conditioned on HUD's 
agreement to commit the necessary funds (subject to availability of 
future appropriations).
    (e) The PHA has complied with the offering to resident 
organizations, as required under Sec. 970.13.
    (f) The PHA has prepared a certification regarding relocation of 
residents, in accordance with Sec. 970.5(h)(1). If relocation is 
required, the PHA must submit a relocation plan in accordance with Sec. 
970.5.
    (g) The PHA has made the appropriate certifications regarding site 
and neighborhood standards, in accordance with Sec. 970.11(h) (2) and 
(4).
