Or. Admin. Code § 813-100-0024 - ReOregon Action Plan Amendments
(1) OHCS will amend
the ReOregon Action Plan as often as necessary to best address the long-term
recovery needs and goals. As programs and activities develop over time, an
amendment may not be triggered if the program or activity is consistent with
the descriptions provided in the Action Plan.
(2) When unmet needs and program descriptions
or other sections rise to the level of requiring an Action Plan amendment, the
State will do the following:
(a) Ensure that
the current version of the Action Plan is accessible for viewing as a single
document, with all amendments, so that the public and HUD do not have to view
and cross-reference changes among multiple amendments.
(b) Identify amendments by highlighting added
or changed text and striking out deleted text.
(c) Include a table that clearly illustrates
where the funds are coming from and where they are going.
(d) Include a revised budget allocation table
that reflects the entirety of all funds, if applicable to the
amendment.
(3)
Substantial Amendment: A change to the initial Action Plan is substantial if it
meets any of the following criteria:
(a) It
changes program benefits or eligibility criteria;
(b) It adds or deletes an activity;
or
(c) It allocates or reallocates
the greater of either $5 million or 15% or greater of a program
budget.
(4) When OHCS
pursues the substantial amendment process, the amendment will be posted on the
State's CDBG-DR website for a 30-day public comment period. The amendment will
be posted in adherence with the Americans with Disabilities Act and LEP
requirements. OHCS will review and respond to all public comments received and
submit the comments and responses to HUD for approval.
(5) A substantial Action Plan amendment shall
require the following:
(a) The State will
revisit the impact and needs assessment when moving funds from one program to
another through a substantial amendment.
(b) A 30-day public comment period will
include the following:
(A) The State will
prominently post the action plan amendment on the OHCS official disaster
recovery website.
(B) The State
will afford residents, affected local governments, and other interested parties
a reasonable opportunity to review the plan or substantial amendment.
(C) The State will identify and consider
potential barriers that limit or prohibit equitable participation and will
undertake reasonable measures to increase coordination, communication,
affirmative marketing, targeted outreach, and engagement with underserved
communities and individuals, including persons with disabilities and persons
with limited English proficiency. This includes the following:
(i) The Action Plan amendment will be
translated according to the CDBG-DR Language Access Plan.
(ii) The Action Plan amendment will be posted
in a way that meets all accessibility requirements.
(c) The State will review and
respond to all written and oral public comments received. Any updates or
changes made to the Action Plan in response to public comments shall be clearly
identified in the Action Plan and amendments. The public comments also will be
submitted to HUD with the final Action Plan amendment.
(d) Receipt of approval from HUD.
