The following criteria shall be used to determine whether a CDBC-assisted activity complies with one or more of the national objectives as required under § 570.200(a) (2): (a) Activities benefiting low- and mod- erate -income persons. Activities meeting the criteria in paragraph (a) (1). (2). (3). or (4) of this section as applicable, will be considered to benefit low and mod- erate income persons unless there is substantial evidence to the contrary. In assessing any such evidence, the full range of direct effects of the assisted activity will be considered. (The recipi- ent shall appropriately ensure that ac- tivities that meet these criteria do not benefit moderate income persons to the exclusion of low income persons.) (1) Area benefit activities. (i) An activ- ity, the benefits of which are available to all the residents in a particular area, where at least 51 percent of the residents are low and moderate income persons. Such an area need not be co- terminous with census tracts or other officially recognized boundaries bu must be the entire area served by th activity. An activity that serves area that is not primarily residents in character shall not qualify unde this criterion. (ii) For metropolitan cities and urb counties, an activity that would other wise qualify under § S70.208 (a) (1) (i) e cept that the area served contains le than 51 percent low and moderate i come residents will also be consider to meet the objective of benefiting to and moderate income persons whe the proportion of low and moderate i come persons in the area is within t highest quartile of all areas in the r cipient's jurisdiction in terms of t degree of concentration of such p sons. In applying this exception. H will determine the lowest proportion recipient may use to qualify an ar for this purpose as follows: § 570,208 (A) All census block groups in the re- cipient's jurisdiction shall be rank or- dered from the block group of highest proportion of low and moderate income persons to the block group with the lowest. For urban counties, the rank ordering shall cover the entire area constituting the urban county and shall not be done separately for each participating unit of general local gov- ernment. (B) In any case where the total num- ber of a recipient's block groups does not divide evenly by four, the block group which would be fractionally di- vided between vithe highest and second quartiles shall be considered to be part of the highest quartile. (C) The proportion of low and mod- erate income persons in the last census block group in the highest quartile shall be identified. Any service area lo- cated within the recipients jurisdic- tion and having a proportion of low and moderate income persons at or above this level shall be considered to be within the highest quartile. (D) If block group data are not avail- able for the entire jurisdiction, other 'data acceptable to the Secretary may be used in the above calculations. (iii) An activity to develop, establish, and operate for up to two years after the establishment ,of, a uniform emer- gency telephone number system serv- t ing an area having less than the per- centage of low- and moderate -income an residents required under paragraph al (a) (1) (i) of this section or (as applica- r ble) paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section. provided the recipient obtains prior an HUD approval.
