Grants are treated as assistance for a special project for environmental review
What the document says“(A) treated as assistance for a special project for purposes of section 305(c) of the Multifamily Housing Property Disposition Reform Act of 1994 (42 U.S.C. 3547); and (B) subject to the regulations promulgated by the Secretary to implement such section.”
The section provides that a grant under the subsection is treated as assistance for a special project for purposes of section 305(c) of the Multifamily Housing Property Disposition Reform Act of 1994, and is subject to the Secretary's regulations implementing that section.
What the document actually says“(A) treated as assistance for a special project for purposes of section 305(c) of the Multifamily Housing Property Disposition Reform Act of 1994 (42 U.S.C. 3547); and (B) subject to the regulations promulgated by the Secretary to implement such section.”
A grant here counts as help for a special project. That is a label from an older law. The housing agency's rules for that label apply.
The label decides how the effect on nature is reviewed. Under it a state or town can run the review. This law does not restate those steps.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
