an extension, taking into consideration your Urban County's overall progress towards qualification and the HOME program's September 30 statutory deadline. NOTE: CPD field offices may also contact the CPD Entitlement Communities Division, as needed, to discuss whether an extension may be granted. GO TO SECTION 4.8 for more guidance on deadline extensions and the HOME program's September 30 statutory deadline. 4.4 What are the Urban County Lists and where do I find them? The Urban County Lists are seven lists of counties prepared annually by CPD-OTIE based on updated data from the U.S. Census Bureau. These lists are the authoritative data source on current and potential new Urban Counties. Each year, HUD will publish the seven updated Urban County Lists below on the HUD Exchange Urban Counties website: 1. All Currently Qualified Urban Counties 2. Urban Counties Requalifying in [This Fiscal Year] * 3. Urban Counties Requalifying in [Next Fiscal Year]* 4. Urban Counties Requalifying in [Fiscal Year After Next] * 5. Urban Counties Qualified through [Next Fiscal Year or Fiscal Year After Next]* That Contain Nonparticipating UGLGs 6. Counties That May Qualify if Metropolitan Cities Relinquished Entitlement Status 7. Counties Previously Determined Eligible but NOT Accepting Urban County Status * NOTE: On the website, HUD will include the actual fiscal years in the names for Lists 2-5. 4.5 Guidance for First -Time Qualifiers This section provides guidance for First -Time Qualifiers because these counties do not have previous experience with the qualification process and may have more questions. 4.5.1 Where to start as a First -Time Qualifier Your first step is to contact your CPD field office as soon as possible to let them know your county is seeking to qualify. It is helpful for your CPD field office to know your county is seeking to qualify, so they can guide you throughout the process and answer any questions. HUD recommends that First -Time Qualifiers read this Notice in its entirety to become more familiar with Urban County terms (GO TO ATTACHMENT 2) and the qualification process (GO TO SECTION 2). 4.5.2 Determination of Essential Powers as a First -Time Qualifier After you notify your CPD field office of your county's intent to seek Urban County qualification, your CPD field office will request OGC Field or Regional Counsel complete a Determination of Essential Powers for your county. OGC Field or Regional Counsel will complete this determination and provide your CPD field office with the results. Your CPD field office will then provide this determination to your county. GO TO SECTION 2.7 for more information about this process. 25 581
