FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
PHCD has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment.
Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)
is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on
file at PHCD, located at 701 NW 1st Court, 14th Floor, Miami, FL 33136, and may be examined or copied
weekdays 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on
the project may submit written comments to Public Housing and Community Development, ATTN:
Clarence Brown, Director, Deputy Director. All comments received by June 1, 2023, will be considered by
PHCD prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which
public notice is being addressed.
RELEASE OF FUNDS
PHCD certifies to U.S. HUD that Daniella Levine Cava, in her 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. U.S. HUD’s approval
of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows
Miami-Dade County to use Program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
U.S. HUD will consider objections to its release of funds and the Miami-Dade County 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 or other officer of PHCD approved by U.S. HUD; (b) PHCD has omitted a step or failed to make a
decision or finding required by U.S. HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed
funds or other participants in the project have committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR
Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by U.S. HUD; 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 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,
Miami Field Office, Brickell Plaza Federal Building, 909 SE First Avenue, Room 500, Miami, Florida
33131-3028, ATTN: Victor Atkins, Director, Office of Public and Indian Housing. Potential objectors should
contact U.S. HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
