Commenters should specify which part of this Notice they are addressing. RELEASE OF FUNDS: This Office certifies to HUD that Edselle K. Cunningham, in his capacity as Executive Director, 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. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the LHC to use HUD Program Funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS.
