The City of Deerfield Beach has determined that such a request for the release of funds will not constitute an action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment, and accordingly, the City of Deerfield Beach has decided not to prepare an Environmental Impact State (EIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (PL 91-190).

 All agencies, groups, or individuals disagreeing with this decision are invited to submit written comments to the above address.  Such written comments should be received on or before May 25, 2023.  All such comments will be considered, and the City of Deerfield will only request the release of federal funds or begin the project after such date.

The City of Deerfield Beach is certifying to HUD that it and its chief executive officer, in his official capacity as Mayor, consent to accept the jurisdiction of the federal courts if an action is brought to enforce environmental review responsibilities, decision-making, and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied.  Upon certification, the City of Deerfield Beach may use the CDBG funds, and HUD will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. HUD will accept an objection to the release of funds and certification only if (a) the certification was not executed by the chief executive officer or other officers of the City of Deerfield Beach approved by HUD; or (b) the City of Deerfield Beach EA indicates omissions of a required decision, finding, or step

Objections must be prepared and submitted via email per the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and addressed to the HUD Miami Field Office at FL_Webmanager@hud.gov.  Potential objectors should contact the HUD Miami Field Office via email to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
