Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Responsible Entity (RE) designated office responsible for receiving and responding to comments.  All comments received by if notice is published: notice date plus seven days.

The name of RE certifies to HUD/State that name of Certifying Officer in his/her capacity as Official Title consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied.  HUD’s State’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the name of grant recipient to use Program funds. 

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS 

HUD will accept objections to its release of fund and the RE’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the name of RE; (b) the RE has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD/State; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality.  Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to HUD/State administration office at address of that office.  Potential objectors should contact HUD/State to verify the actual last day of the objection period. Name and Title of RE Certifying Officer Note: The seven or ten-day public comment periods are the minimum time periods required by regulation prior to submission of a Request for Release of Funds and Certification [form HUD-7015.15] to HUD/State.  The Responsible Entity may choose to allow a longer comment period.   The fifteen-day objection period following submission of the request is a statutory requirement.  The objection period follows the submission date specified in the Notice or the actual date of receipt by HUD/State, whichever is later. Following completion of the comment period recipients may FAX the form HUD7015.15 to HUD/State together with a copy of the public notice and a cover letter stating whether comments were received and, if so, how the recipient responded to the comment.  The Request for Release of Funds and Certification should not be submitted before the recipient has responded.  If the request is sent by FAX, the original signed form should be mailed to HUD/State.   The date of receipt by FAX will be counted as the submission date.  However, HUD will not issue the 7015.16 “Authority to Use Grant Funds” until after the original signed form is received.
