Section 572, Low-Income Term; Miscellaneous Nomenclature Changes
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The purpose of this final rule is to make nomenclature changes
throughout title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations to remove the
term ``lower income'' and insert in its place ``low-income''. These
changes will conform HUD terminology to current practice required by
recent legislation.
EFFECTIVE DATE: April 25, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Myra L. Ransick, Assistant General
Counsel for Regulations, Department of Housing and Urban Development,
room 10276, 451 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20410, telephone
(202) 708-3055. A telecommunications device for hearing- or speech-
impaired persons (TDD) is available at (202) 708-3259. (These are not
toll-free numbers.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule will implement section 572
of the Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA), Public
Law 101-625 (November 28, 1990), by making nomenclature changes
throughout title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect the
new use of the term ``low-income'' instead of the term ``lower
income.'' The amendments in section 572 of NAHA changed references in
the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.) (the
1937 Act) by striking ``lower income families'' and inserting in its
place ``low-income families'', and by striking ``lower income housing''
and inserting in its place ``low-income housing.'' This rule will
conform the Department of Housing and Urban Development's regulations
by removing the term ``lower income'' wherever it appears in a context
associated with the 1937 Act, and by inserting in its place the term
``low-income.''
Tables following the Preamble to this rule show in list format the
nomenclature changes being made by this rule to the various sections of
title 24 of the Department's regulations.
The Department has determined that this document need not be
published as a proposed rule, as generally required by the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA), since this final rule merely
conforms HUD regulations to reflect legislative changes in terminology.
As a rule relating to agency practice, it is exempt from the proposed
rulemaking requirements of the APA (see section 553(b)(A)).
A Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment
required by the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321-4347)
is unnecessary, since this nomenclature change is categorically
excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR 50.20(k).
As required by section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601), the Undersigned hereby certifies that this rule does not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities because it merely makes nomenclature changes to the
Department's regulations.
This final rule was listed as item 1542 in the Department's
Semiannual Agenda of Regulations published on October 25, 1993 (58 FR
56402, 56431) pursuant to Executive Order 12291 and the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
