Notice of Federal Interest
Notice of Federal Interest
Notice of Federal Interest (NFI) filings are required for new construction and for “major” renovations (total costs of more than $500,000), and the period of the NFI is in perpetuity.
The NFI must be filed before funds can be drawn down.
These filings state that the approval of the Secretary, DHHS, must be given before the property can be mortgaged, sold, or transferred or used for a purpose inconsistent with the application. Federal interest in the property is not subordinated to those of non-Federal parties. Generally, Federal interest may not be subordinated without a compensating financial benefit to the Government.
If the applicant has extensive land holdings, to avoid having to request the Secretary’s permission on its use and disposition, an applicant may provide a land description limited to the awarded project when filing. Additional requirements are needed for a leased building.
