Total HUD Funding: $23,412.26
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
The City of Pearland, Texas has made the initial determination that the proposed housing rehabilitation described above will have no significant negative impact on the human, wildlife, and/or natural environment in Pearland. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not anticipated. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on the City’s website at www.pearlandtx.gov and on file at the City of Pearland, Texas City Hall located at 3519 Liberty Drive and may be examined or copied weekdays 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. until February 2, 2024.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the projects may submit written comments to Michael Rawlinson at 3519 Liberty Drive, Pearland TX 77581 or by email to mrawlinson@pearlandtx.gov. The public comment period will begin on December 14, 2023 and end at 5:00pm on January 12, 2024. All comments received by that time on January 12, 2024 will be considered by the City of Pearland, Texas prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Public Notice they are addressing.
RELEASE OF FUNDS
The City of Pearland, Texas certifies to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that Kevin Cole in his capacity as Mayor 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 approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the City of Pearland, Texas to use Program funds. Again, the City of Pearland anticipates submitting a request for the release of federal funds to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on or about January 17, 2024.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of Pearland, Texas’ 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 City of Pearland, Texas; (b) the City of Pearland, Texas 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 has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; 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) and shall be addressed to the HUD Houston Region VI Field Office at 1331 Lamar Street, Houston, TX 77010.
