        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to HUD&apos;s Environmental Regulations (FR-4954)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would make a number of revisions to HUD's environmental regulations to reduce administrative barriers and speed environmental reviews.  This rule would expand HUD's regulatory waiver authority for certain environmental provisions where there is good cause and no adverse environmental impact will result.  This change will allow for a more streamlined and user-friendly process for environmental review.  The rule also would add an exemption to 24 CFR part 55 (floodplain management) for special projects directed to the removal of architectural barriers of properties located within floodplains.  It would also exempt minor repairs or improvements and special projects to remove architectural barriers for elderly persons and persons with disabilities.  In addition, the rule would make a number of minor conforming changes to HUD's environmental regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>
