## Abstract

The 1997 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Recovery from Natural Disasters required publication of a Notice governing use of such funds in conjunction with any program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for buyouts of structures in disaster areas. HUD published a Notice on September 8, 1997 (62 FR 47344) that described the policies and procedures applicable to the HUD Disaster Recovery Initiative. This Notice clarifies the timing of the reports HUD expects to receive on the use of HUD Disaster Recovery Initiative grant funds. This Notice also clarifies the citizen participation certifications and notifies grantees of a statutory restriction on waivers related to funds used as the non-Federal cost-share for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects.
