Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in
the Environmental Review Record (ERR) which is available for review on Crawford Country's website at
https://commissioners.crawford-co.org/fair-housing-grants-rfp-rfq/, The ERR may also be provided upon

2026 will be considered by the Crawford County Board of Commissioners prior to authorizing submission
of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
The Crawford County Board of Commissioners certifies to the State of Ohio that Tim Ley in his capacity
as Commissioner consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to
enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities
have been satisfied. The State of Ohio's approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under
NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the Crawford County Board of Commissioners to use
Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS

Commissioners' certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its
actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the
certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the Crawford County Board of Commissioners;
(b) the Crawford County Board of Commissioners has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or
finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the
development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24
CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by the State of Ohio; or (d) another Federal agency
acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory
from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance
with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Ohio Department
of Development, Office of Community Development at OCD@development.ohio.gov. Potential objectors
should contact the State of Ohio to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
