Sec. 51.302  Coverage.

    (a) These policies apply to HUD programs which provide assistance, 
subsidy or insurance for construction, land development, community 
development or redevelopment or any other provision of facilities and 
services which are designed to make land available for construction. 
When the HUD assistance, subsidy or insurance is used to make land 
available for construction rather than for the actual construction, the 
provision of the HUD assistance, subsidy or insurance shall be dependent 
upon whether the facility to be built is itself acceptable in accordance 
with the standards in Sec. 51.303.
    (b) These policies apply not only to new construction but also to 
substantial or major modernization and rehabilitation and to any other 
program which significantly prolongs the physical or economic life of 
existing facilities or which, in the case of Accident Potential Zones:
    (1) Changes the use of the facility so that it becomes one which is 
no longer acceptable in accordance with the standards contained in Sec. 
51.303(b);
    (2) Significantly increases the density or number of people at the 
site; or
    (3) Introduces explosive, flammable or toxic materials to the area.
    (c) Except as noted in Sec. 51.303(a)(3), these policies do not 
apply to HUD programs where the action only involves the purchase, sale 
or rental of an existing property without significantly prolonging the 
physical or economic life of the property.
    (d) The policies do not apply to research or demonstration projects 
which do not result in new construction or reconstruction, to interstate 
land sales registration, or to any action or emergency assistance which 
is provided to save lives, protect property, protect public health and 
safety, or remove debris and wreckage.
