FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael R. Allard, Economic and Market 
Analysis Division, Office of Policy Development and Research (202) 708-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States Housing Act of 1937 (1937 
Act) requires the Secretary to publish Fair Market Rents (FMRs) 
periodically, but not less frequently than annually, to be effective on 
October 1 of each year. The 1937 Act also requires that the assistance 
contracts signed by owners participating in the Department's Section 8 
Housing Assistance Payments programs provide for annual or more 
frequent adjustment in the maximum monthly rentals for units covered by 
the contract to reflect changes based on fair market rents prevailing 
in a particular market area, or on a reasonable formula. The FMR and 
AAF Notices published on April 6, 1994 (59 FR 16408), and April 26, 
1994 (59 FR 21832), respectively, announced the revised FY 1994 FMRs 
and Annual Adjustment Factors, but contained some technical errors.
    Accordingly, the following correction is being made in FR Doc. 94-
8212, in the final FY 1994 FMRs published April 6, 1994 (59 FR 16408) 
as provided in the following table for the specific FMR areas and 
bedroom sizes indicated:
