For more information on determining level of review, consult 24 CFR 58.
*For purposes of determining level of review, “major rehabilitation” is rehabilitation that does not conform to
the limitations listed in 24 CFR 58.35(a)(3).
**Select “yes” if new construction or demolition falls outside the definition of an “individual action” in 24 CFR
58.35(a)(4). If proposed construction or demolition conforms to the requirements in that section, select “no.”
