RELEASE OF FUNDS


Grantee certifies to MSHDA that City of Detroit and Mayor Dave Bing, in his/her capacity as Certifying Officer, consent to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to en- force responsibilities in relation to the environmental review pro- cess and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. MSH- DA’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows Grantee to use Program funds.


OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS


MSHDA will accept objections to the release of funds and certi- fication for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated sub- mission date only if they are based on one of the following: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer; (b) the environmental review record indicates an omission of a required step, 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 re- lease of funds by MSHDA; 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.
