Sec.  72.46  Citizen participation requirements.

    (a) Recovery Action Program Grants. Citizen participation is 
required for developing and implementing a Recovery Action Program 
(Sec.  72, Subpart B), but is not required in the process of preparing a 
local Recovery Action Program grant application.
    (b) Rehabilitation and Innovation grant. The applicant shall provide 
citizens with an adequate opportunity to participate in the development 
of a Rehabilitation and/or Innovation proposal and in implementation, 
monitoring and evaluation of the activities supported through the 
grants. The applicant shall also encourage the submission of views and 
proposals, particularly by residents of blighted neighborhoods and 
citizens with low and moderate incomes. The applicant is encouraged to 
utilize a variety of approaches to ensure public involvement. Nothing in 
these requirements, however, shall be construed to restrict the legal 
responsibility and authority of the applicant for the execution of its 
Recovery Action Program, and the development of its UPARR applications.
