    (b) Conflict of interest. In addition to the conflict of interest 

requirements in OMB Circular A-87 and 24 CFR part 85, no person who is 

an employee, agent, consultant, officer, or elected or appointed

function or responsibilities with respect to activities assisted with 

CHSP grant funds, or who is in a position to participate in a decision-

making process or gain inside information with regard to such 

activities, may obtain a personal or financial interest or benefit from 

the activity, or have an interest in any contract, subcontract, or 

agreement with respect thereto, or any proceeds thereunder, either for 

himself or herself or for those with whom he or she has family or 

business ties during his or her tenure, or for one year thereafter. CHSP 

employees may receive reasonable salary and benefits.

    (c) Disclosures required by Reform Act. Section 102(c) of the HUD 

Reform Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 3545(c)) requires disclosure concerning 

other government assistance to be made available with respect to the 

Program and parties with a pecuniary interest in CHSP and submission of 

a report on expected sources and uses of funds to be made available for 

CHSP. Each applicant shall include information required by 24 CFR part

required by the Federal Register Notice published on January 16, 1992, 

at 57 FR 1942.

    (d) Nondiscrimination and equal opportunity. (1) The fair housing 

poster regulations (24 CFR part 110) and advertising guidelines (24 CFR

applicants and beneficiaries in accordance with section 562 of the 

Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 and section 808(e)(6) of 

the Fair Housing Act.

    (e) Environmental requirements. Support services, including the 

operating and administrative expenses described in section 700.115(a), 

are categorically excluded from the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. These actions, however, are not 

excluded from individual compliance requirements of other environmental 

statutes, Executive Orders, and agency regulations where appropriate. 

When the responsible official determines that any action under this part 

may have an environmental effect because of extraordinary circumstances, 

the requirements of NEPA shall apply.
