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

970.5.

    (g) The PHA has made the appropriate certifications regarding site 

and neighborhood standards, in accordance with Sec.  970.11(h) (2) and
