    income use restrictions if any, associated with one or more multifamily
    housing project or projects to another multifamily housing project or
    projects.
        (b) Phased Transfers.--Transfers of project-based assistance under
    this section may be done in phases to accommodate the financing and
    other requirements related to rehabilitating or constructing the
    project or projects to which the assistance is transferred, to ensure
    that such project or projects meet the standards under subsection (c).
        (c) The transfer authorized in subsection (a) is subject to the
    following conditions:
                (1) Number and bedroom size of units.--

                    The number of low-income and very low-income units and
                    the configuration (i.e., bedroom size) provided by the
                    transferring project shall be no less than when
                    transferred to the receiving project or projects and

                    the transferring project shall remain the same in the
                    receiving project or projects.
                        (B) For unoccupied units in the transferring
                    project: The Secretary may authorize a reduction in the
                    number of dwelling units in the receiving project or
                    projects to allow for a reconfiguration of bedroom
                    sizes to meet current market demands, as determined by
                    the Secretary and provided there is no increase in the
                    project-based assistance budget authority.
                (2) The transferring project shall, as determined by the
            Secretary, be either physically obsolete or economically
            nonviable, or be reasonably expected to become economically
            nonviable when complying with state or Federal requirements for
            community integration and reduced concentration of individuals
            with disabilities.
                (3) The receiving project or projects shall meet or exceed
            applicable physical standards established by the Secretary.
                (4) The owner or mortgagor of the transferring project
            shall notify and consult with the tenants residing in the
            transferring project and provide a certification of approval by
            all appropriate local governmental officials.
                (5) The tenants of the transferring project who remain
            eligible for assistance to be provided by the receiving project
            or projects shall not be required to vacate their units in the
            transferring project or projects until new units in the
            receiving project are available for occupancy.
                (6) The Secretary determines that this transfer is in the
            best interest of the tenants.
                (7) If either the transferring project or the receiving
            project or projects meets the condition specified in subsection
            (d)(2)(A), any lien on the receiving project resulting from
            additional financing obtained by the owner shall be subordinate
            to any FHA-insured mortgage lien transferred to, or placed on,
            such project by the Secretary, except that the Secretary may
            waive this requirement upon determination that such a waiver is
            necessary to facilitate the financing of acquisition,
            construction, and/or rehabilitation of the receiving project or
            projects.
                (8) If the transferring project meets the requirements of
            subsection (d)(2), the owner or mortgagor of the receiving
            project or projects shall execute and record either a
            continuation of the existing use agreement or a new use
            agreement for the project where, in either case, any use
            restrictions in such agreement are of no lesser duration than
            the existing use restrictions.
                (9) The transfer does not increase the cost (as defined in
            section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C.
            661a)) of any FHA-insured mortgage, except to the extent that

        (b) For purposes of determining the eligibility of a person to
    receive assistance under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of
    1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f), any financial assistance (in excess of amounts

    the property and all available Federal, State, and local resources,
    including rent adjustments under section 524 of the Multifamily
    Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 (in this section

    that cannot be remedied in a cost-effective fashion, the Secretary may,
    in consultation with the tenants of that property, contract for
    project-based rental assistance payments with an owner or owners of
    other existing housing properties, or provide other rental assistance.
    The Secretary shall also take appropriate steps to ensure that project-
    based contracts remain in effect prior to foreclosure, subject to the
    exercise of contractual abatement remedies to assist relocation of
    tenants for imminent major threats to health and safety after written
    notice to and informed consent of the affected tenants and use of other
    available remedies, such as partial abatements or receivership. After
    disposition of any multifamily property described in this section, the
    contract and allowable rent levels on such properties shall be subject
    to the requirements under section 524 of MAHRAA.
        Sec. 212.  Public housing agencies that own and operate 400 or
    fewer public housing units may elect to be exempt from any asset
    management requirement imposed by the Secretary in connection with the

    of a reduction of subsidy under the operating fund formula shall not be
    exempt from asset management requirements.

    the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(d),(e)), the
    Secretary shall not impose any requirement or guideline relating to
    asset management that restricts or limits in any way the use of capital
    funds for central office costs pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) of
    section 9(g) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C.
    1437g(g)(1), (2)):  Provided, That a public housing agency may not use
    capital funds authorized under section 9(d) for activities that are
    eligible under section 9(e) for assistance with amounts from the
    operating fund in excess of the amounts permitted under paragraph (1)
    or (2) of section 9(g).
        Sec. 214.  No official or employee of the Department of Housing and
    Urban Development shall be designated as an allotment holder unless the
    Office of the Chief Financial Officer has determined that such
    allotment holder has implemented an adequate system of funds control
    and has received training in funds control procedures and directives.
    The Chief Financial Officer shall ensure that there is a trained
    allotment holder for each HUD appropriation under the accounts
    ``Executive Offices'', ``Administrative Support Offices'', ``Program
    Offices'', ``Government National Mortgage Association--Guarantees of
    Mortgage-Backed Securities Loan Guarantee Program Account'', and
    ``Office of Inspector General'' within the Department of Housing and
    Urban Development.
        Sec. 215.  The Secretary shall, for fiscal year 2023, notify the
    public through the Federal Register and other means, as determined
    appropriate, of the issuance of a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO)
    for any program or discretionary fund administered by the Secretary
    that is to be competitively awarded. Notwithstanding any other
    provision of law, for fiscal year 2023, the Secretary may make the NOFO
    available only on the Internet at the appropriate Government website or
    through other electronic media, as determined by the Secretary.
        Sec. 216.  Payment of attorney fees in program-related litigation
    shall be paid from the individual program office and Office of General

    or $5,000,000, whichever is less, of funds appropriated for any office
    under the headings ``Administrative Support Offices'' or ``Program
    Offices'' to any other such office under such headings:  Provided, That
    no appropriation for any such office under such headings shall be
    increased or decreased by more than 10 percent or $5,000,000, whichever
    is less, without prior written approval of the House and Senate
    Committees on Appropriations:  Provided further, That the Secretary
    shall provide notification to such Committees 3 business days in
    advance of any such transfers under this section up to 10 percent or
    $5,000,000, whichever is less.
        Sec. 218. (a) Any entity receiving housing assistance payments
    shall maintain decent, safe, and sanitary conditions, as determined by
    the Secretary, and comply with any standards under applicable State or
    local laws, rules, ordinances, or regulations relating to the physical
    condition of any property covered under a housing assistance payment
    contract.
        (b) The Secretary shall take action under subsection (c) when a
    multifamily housing project with a contract under section 8 of the
    United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f) or a contract for
    similar project-based assistance--
                (1) receives a Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS)
            score of 59 or less; or
                (2) fails to certify in writing to the Secretary within 3
            days that all Exigent Health and Safety deficiencies identified
            by the inspector at the project have been corrected.
        Such requirements shall apply to insured and noninsured projects
    with assistance attached to the units under section 8 of the United
    States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f), but shall not apply to

        (c)(1) Within 15 days of the issuance of the Real Estate Assessment
    Center (``REAC'') inspection, the Secretary shall provide the owner
    with a Notice of Default with a specified timetable, determined by the
    Secretary, for correcting all deficiencies. The Secretary shall provide
    a copy of the Notice of Default to the tenants, the local government,
    any mortgagees, and any contract administrator. If the owner's appeal
    results in a UPCS score of 60 or above, the Secretary may withdraw the
    Notice of Default.
        (2) At the end of the time period for correcting all deficiencies
    specified in the Notice of Default, if the owner fails to fully correct
    such deficiencies, the Secretary shall take one or more of the
    following actions, and provide additional notice of those actions to
    the owner and the parties specified above--
                (A) require immediate replacement of project management
            with a management agent approved by the Secretary;
                (B) impose civil money penalties, which shall be used
            solely for the purpose of supporting safe and sanitary
            conditions at applicable properties, as designated by the
            Secretary, with priority given to the tenants of the property
            affected by the penalty;
                (C) abate the section 8 contract, including partial
            abatement, as determined by the Secretary, until all
            deficiencies have been corrected;
                (D) pursue transfer of the project to an owner, approved by
            the Secretary under established procedures, who will be
            obligated to promptly make all required repairs and to accept
            renewal of the assistance contract if such renewal is offered;
                (E) transfer the existing section 8 contract to another
            project or projects and owner or owners;
                (F) pursue exclusionary sanctions, including suspensions or
            debarments from Federal programs;
                (G) seek judicial appointment of a receiver to manage the
            property and cure all project deficiencies or seek a judicial
            order of specific performance requiring the owner to cure all
            project deficiencies;
                (H) work with the owner, lender, or other related party to
            stabilize the property in an attempt to preserve the property
            through compliance, transfer of ownership, or an infusion of
            capital provided by a third-party that requires time to
            effectuate; or
                (I) take any other regulatory or contractual remedies
            available as deemed necessary and appropriate by the Secretary.
        (d) The Secretary shall take appropriate steps to ensure that
    project-based contracts remain in effect, subject to the exercise of
    contractual abatement remedies to assist relocation of tenants for
    major threats to health and safety after written notice to and informed
    consent of the affected tenants and use of other remedies set forth
    above. To the extent the Secretary determines, in consultation with the
    tenants and the local government, that the property is not feasible for
    continued rental assistance payments under such section 8 or other
    programs, based on consideration of--
                (1) the costs of rehabilitating and operating the property
            and all available Federal, State, and local resources,
            including rent adjustments under section 524 of the Multifamily
            Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997
            (``MAHRAA''); and
                (2) environmental conditions that cannot be remedied in a
            cost-effective fashion, the Secretary may contract for project-
            based rental assistance payments with an owner or owners of
            other existing housing properties, or provide other rental
            assistance.
        (e) The Secretary shall report semi-annually on all properties
    covered by this section that are assessed through the Real Estate
    Assessment Center and have UPCS physical inspection scores of less than
    60 or have received an unsatisfactory management and occupancy review
    within the past 36 months. The report shall include--
                (1) identification of the property level enforcement
            actions being taken to address such conditions, including
            imposition of civil money penalties and termination of
            subsidies, and identification of properties that have such
            conditions multiple times;
                (2) identification of property level actions that the
            Department of Housing and Urban Development is taking to
            protect tenants of such identified properties; and
                (3) any administrative or legislative recommendations to
            further improve the living conditions at properties covered
            under a housing assistance payment contract.
        The first report shall be submitted to the Senate and House

    of this Act, and the second report shall be submitted within 180 days

    cycles.

    document is to be used. Such form or agreement shall, at a minimum,
    require that the person will not disclose any classified information
    received in the course of such activity unless specifically authorized
    to do so by the United States Government. Such nondisclosure forms
    shall also make it clear that they do not bar disclosures to Congress,

        (i) Notwithstanding subsections (b) through (e), an employee in a

    movement to a different covered position only if that new position has
    higher-level duties and a pre-established level or range of pay higher
    than the level or range for the position held immediately before the
    movement. Any such increase must be based on the rates of pay and
    applicable limitations on payable rates of pay in effect on December
