Sec.  55.27  Documentation.



    (a) For purposes of compliance with Sec.  55.20, the responsible HUD 

official who would approve the proposed action (or the Certifying 

Officer for a grant recipient subject to 24 CFR part 58) shall require 

that the following actions be documented: (1) Under Sec.  55.20(c), 

practicable alternative sites have been considered outside the 

floodplain, but within the local housing market area, the local public 

utility service area, or the jurisdictional boundaries of a recipient 

unit of general local government (as defined in 24 CFR 570.3), whichever 

geographic area is more appropriate to the proposed HUD action. Actual 

sites under review must be identified and the reasons for the non-

selection of those sites as practicable alternatives must be described; 

and

    (2) Under Sec.  55.20(e), measures to minimize the potential adverse 

impacts of the proposed action on the affected floodplain as identified 

in Sec.  55.20(d) have been applied to the design for the proposed 

action.

    (b) For purposes of compliance with Sec.  55.24, Sec.  55.25, or 

Sec.  55.26 (as appropriate), the responsible HUD official (or the 

Certifying Officer for a grant recipient subject to 24 CFR part 58) who 

would approve the proposed action shall require documentation of 

compliance with the required conditions.

    (c) Documentation of compliance with this part (including copies of 

public notices) must be attached to the environmental assessment, the 

environmental impact statement or the compliance record and be 

maintained as a part of the project file. In addition, for environmental 

impact statements, documentation of compliance with this part must be 

included as a part of the record of decision (or environmental review 

record for grant recipients subject to 24 CFR part 58).
