Sec. 51.202  Approval of HUD-assisted projects.

    (a) The Department will not approve an application for assistance 
for a proposed project located at less than the acceptable separation 
distance from a hazard, as defined in Sec. 51.201, unless appropriate 
mitigating measures, as defined in Sec. 51.205, are implemented, or 
unless mitigating measures are already in place.
    (b) In the case of all applications for proposed HUD-assisted 
projects, the Department shall evaluate projected development plans in 
the vicinity of these projects to determine whether there are plans to 
install a hazardous operation in close proximity to the proposed 
project. If the evaluation shows that such a plan exists, the Department 
shall not approve assistance for the project unless the Department 
obtains satisfactory assurances that adequate mitigating measures will 
be taken when the hazardous operation is installed.
