Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program-Fair Market Rent 
Schedules for Use in the Rental Certificate Program, et cetera

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of proposed fair market rents.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Section 8(c)(1) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 
requires the Secretary to publish fair market rents (FMRs) 
periodically, but not less frequently than annually, to be effective 
October 1 of each year. The Department's regulations at 24 CFR part 888 
provide a notice and comment process for developing FMRs.
    Today's Notice proposes the FMRs for Fiscal Year 1995 (FY-1995) in 
two separate sets of proposed FMRs--one based on the 45th percentile 
rent of the rental distributions of standard quality rental housing 
units, and the other based on the 40th percentile rent of the same 
rental housing distributions. HUD is publishing two sets of FMRs at 
this time because the Administration has proposed a reduction in the 
FMR standard as a means for saving funds in order to serve additional 
low-income families. The administration is working with Congress on 
this and other changes being considered as part of the rent reforms 
proposed for the FY 1995 budget. If the reduction in the FMR standard 
is enacted into law after the date of this publication, the final FMRs 
will be those based on the 40th percentile rents. Todays Notice, 
therefore, requests public comments from parties interested in 
commenting on the appropriateness of the levels of the proposed FMRs, 
i.e., whether they are too high or too low based on the prevailing 
rents within the FMR area. To be considered for revising the proposed 
FMRs, the public comments must include statistically valid rental 
housing survey data. These data must include the rental housing 
distributions that identify both the 40th and 45th percentile rents. 
Section VI of this Notice provides instructions for submitting comments 
on the appropriateness of the proposed FY 1995 FMR estimates.

DATES: Comments due date: August 22, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding 
HUD's determination of the 45th and 40th percentile rent estimates as 
published in this Notice to the Office of the General Counsel, Rules 
Docket Clerk, Room 10276, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 
451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20410. Communications should 
refer to the above docket number and title and should contain the 
information specified in Section VI. To ensure that the information is 
fully considered by all of the reviewers, each commenter is requested 
to submit two copies of its comments, one to the Rules Docket Clerk and 
the other to the Economic and Market Analysis Staff in the appropriate 
HUD Field Office. A copy of each communication submitted will be 
available for public inspection and copying during regular business 
hours (7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Eastern Time) at the above address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 8 of the U. S. Housing Act of 1937 (the Act) (42 U.S.C. 
1437f) authorizes housing assistance to aid low-income families in 
renting decent, safe, and sanitary housing. Assistance payments are 
limited by Fair Market Rents (FMRs) (or payment standards, established 
by local housing authorities, based on FMRs in the Rental Voucher 
program) established by HUD for different areas. In general, the FMR 
for an area is the amount that would be needed to pay the gross rent 
(shelter rent plus utilities) of privately owned, decent, safe, and 
sanitary rental housing of a modest (non-luxury) nature with suitable 
amenities.
    The FMRs proposed in this Notice govern the following Section 8 
Housing Assistance Payments programs: the Rental Certificate program 
under part 882 (subparts A and B), including space rentals by owners of 
manufactured homes (subpart F), the Moderate Rehabilitation program 
under part 882 (subparts D and E), the loan management program for 
projects with HUD-insured or HUD-held mortgages under part 886 (subpart 
A), the Property Disposition program under part 886 (subpart C), and 
any other programs whose regulations provide for the use of these FMRs. 
In addition, FMRs are used to establish payment standards for the 
Rental Voucher program (part 887).

II. Procedures for the Development of FMRs

    Section 8(c) of the Act requires the Secretary of HUD to publish 
FMRs periodically, but not less frequently than annually. The 
Department's regulations provide that HUD will develop FMRs by 
publishing proposed FMRs for public comment, analyzing the public 
comment, and publishing final FMRs. (See 24 CFR 888.115.)

III. FMR Schedules

    This notice proposes revised FMRs for FY 1995. The two sets of FMR 
schedules at the end of this document list the FMR levels for the 
Rental Certificate program (Schedule B), and for the areas where the 
manufactured home space FMRs have had modifications approved (Schedule 
D).
    In last year's May 6, 1993 publication of the FY 1994 proposed 
FMRs, HUD announced that it was considering other alternatives and 
invited comments for establishing the manufactured home space rents. No 
comments were received in response to that request. Because the FMRs 
for manufactured home spaces are based on old survey data, and there 
are no Census data available for updating these estimates, HUD does not 
consider them to be sufficiently accurate for continued use. Further, 
since there is very limited use of this program, the expected cost of 
obtaining the necessary survey data to revise the estimates currently 
being used would not be justified. Therefore, the proposed FY 1995 FMRs 
for manufactured home spaces are established at 30 percent of the 
applicable Section 8 Rental Certificate program two-bedroom FMR. HUD 
arrived at the 30 percent standard after analyzing the current 
manufactured home space FMRs and concluding that the substantial 
majority of them were from 20 to 30 percent of the two-bedroom FMR. For 
those areas where the manufactured home space rentals are thought to 
differ from the 30 percent standard, HUD will accept public comments 
requesting modification of the proposed FMR. To be considered for 
approval, the comments for the proposed FY 1995 FMRs must contain 
statistically valid survey data that show both the 45th and 40th 
percentile space rent (excluding the cost of utilities) for the FMR 
area. This program uses the same FMR area definitions as the Rental 
Certificate program. All manufactured home space rental public comments 
approved by HUD in the future will be published as final FMRs in 
Schedule D. In addition, HUD is retaining all of the manufactured home 
space FMR modifications approved, to date, since 1990. The reason for 
continuing in effect the modified FMRs is that they are based on recent 
survey data that HUD has determined to be valid. The areas with 
manufactured home space FMRs based on modifications are shown in the 
Schedule D tables at the 45th and 40th percentile rent levels.

IV. Metropolitan Area Definitions

    With the exceptions discussed below, last year's FMRs incorporated 
the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) revised definitions of 
metropolitan areas that were released on December 31, 1992 and modified 
on June 30, 1993 in OMB bulletins Nos. 93-05 and 93-17. HUD uses the 
OMB Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and Primary Metropolitan 
Statistical Area (PMSA) definitions because of their close 
correspondence with housing market area definitions. FMRs are intended 
to be housing market-wide rent estimates that provide housing 
opportunities throughout the geographic area in which rental housing 
units are in direct competition.
    The FMR area exceptions to the OMB definitions are counties deleted 
from seven large metropolitan areas whose revised OMB definitions 
encompass areas that were determined to be larger than the housing 
market areas. The FMR areas and the respective counties deleted are the 
following:

FMR area and counties deleted from previous FMR area definition

    Atlanta, GA--Carroll, Pickens, Spalding, and Walton Counties.
    Chicago, IL--DeKalb, Grundy and Kendall Counties.
    Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN--Brown County, Ohio; Gallatin, Grant 
and Pendleton Counties in Kentucky; and Ohio County, Indiana.
    Dallas, TX--Henderson County.
    Lafayette, LA--St. Landry and Arcadia Parishes.
    New Orleans, LA--St. James Parish.
    Washington, DC--Berkeley and Jefferson Counties in West Virginia; 
and Clarke, Culpeper, King George and Warren counties in Virginia.

    The proposed FMRs for the above counties are calculated separately 
and are shown in Schedule B within their respective States under the 
``Metropolitan FMR Areas'' listing.
    New MSA: In addition, HUD is proposing FMR estimates for the newly 
designated Hattiesburg, Mississippi MSA, which has been defined by OMB 
to include Forrest and Lamar Counties. HUD has determined that the new 
metropolitan area definition is an appropriate FMR area definition.

V. Method Used To Develop FMRs

FMR Standard

    FMRs are gross rent estimates; they include shelter rent and the 
cost of utilities, except telephone. HUD sets FMRs to assure that a 
sufficient supply of rental housing is available to program 
participants. To accomplish this objective, FMRs must be both high 
enough to permit a selection of units and neighborhoods and low enough 
to serve as many families as possible. The level at which FMRs are set 
is expressed as a percentile point within the rent distribution of 
standard quality rental housing units. The specific point rent (whether 
it be the 45th or 40th percentile) is drawn from the distribution of 
rents of units that are occupied by recent movers (renter households 
who moved into their unit within the past 15 months). Adjustments are 
made to exclude public housing units and newly built units less than 
two years old.

Data Sources

    HUD uses the most accurate and current data available to develop 
the FMR estimates. Three sources of survey data are used to develop the 
base-year estimates. They are: (1) the 1990 Census; (2) the Random 
Digit Dialing (RDD) telephone surveys conducted of individual FMR areas 
since the 1990 Census; and (3) the post-1990 American Housing Surveys 
available at the time the FMR estimates were prepared. The base-year 
FMRs have been updated using Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for rents 
and utilities or the HUD regional rent change factors developed from 
RDD surveys. Annual average CPI data are available individually for 103 
FMR areas. RDD regional rent change factors are developed annually for 
the metropolitan and nonmetropolitan parts of each of the 10 HUD 
regions (a total of 20 separate factors). The RDD factors are used to 
update the base-year estimates for all FMR areas that do not have their 
own local CPI survey.
    The decennial Census provides statistically reliable rent data for 
use in establishing base-year FMRs. AHS's are conducted by the Bureau 
of the Census for HUD and have comparable accuracy to the decennial 
Census. These surveys enable HUD to develop between-census revisions 
for the largest metropolitan areas on a revolving four-year cycle. The 
RDD telephone survey technique is based on a sampling procedure that 
uses computers to select statistically random samples of rental 
housing, dial and keep track of the telephone numbers and tabulate the 
responses. HUD uses a contractor to conduct the RDD surveys.

Calculation of 40th and 45th Percentile FMRs

    This document proposes revised FMRs, which reflect estimated 40th 
and 45th percentile rent levels trended to April 1, 1995. The base-year 
estimates were updated through 1993 using the most current CPI or RDD 
updating factors and then were trended to April 1, 1995 using the 
annual trending factor of 3 percent. To ensure that the previously 
approved modifications are carried forward, the 40th percentile FMRs 
for the affected areas have been calculated by applying the 40th 
percentile to 45th percentile ratio for the respective FMR area. The 
difference between the 45th and 40th percentile FMRs is about 3 percent 
on average; in no case is the difference greater than 6 percent.
    The FMRs have been calculated separately for each bedroom size 
category based on 1990 Census data. For most FMR areas, the ratios 
developed from the Census for that area were applied to the two-bedroom 
FMR estimate to derive the FMRs for the other bedroom size categories. 
Exceptions were made for areas with local bedroom size rent intervals 
below an acceptable range. For those areas the bedroom size intervals 
selected were the minimums determined after outliers had been excluded 
from the distribution of bedroom size ratios for all metropolitan 
areas. Higher ratios continue to be used for three-bedroom and larger 
size units than would result from using the actual market 
relationships. This is done to assist the largest, most difficult to 
house families in finding program-eligible units.

RDD Surveys

    RDD surveys are used to obtain statistically-valid FMR estimates 
for selected FMR areas. This survey technique involves drawing random 
samples of one- and two-bedroom renter units occupied by recent movers. 
Both one- and two-bedroom units are used because they are consistently 
related and an accurate two-bedroom FMR estimate can be obtained with 
fewer telephone calls by expanding the sample base to include 
information on one-bedroom rents. The one-bedroom rents are adjusted by 
the average two-bedroom to one-bedroom ratio for the area being 
surveyed to convert them into two-bedroom equivalent rents.
    RDD surveys exclude public housing units, units built in the past 
two years and non-cash rental units. There is no practical way to 
determine housing quality from telephone interviews. A HUD analysis 
conducted specifically to address this issue, however, has shown that 
the slightly downward RDD survey bias caused by including some rental 
units that are in substandard condition is almost exactly offset by the 
slightly upward bias that results from surveying only units with 
telephones.
    On average, about 8,000 telephone numbers need to be contacted to 
achieve the target survey sample level of at least 400 eligible 
responses. RDD surveys have a high degree of statistical accuracy. 
There is a 95 percent likelihood that the recent mover rent estimates 
developed using this approach are within 3 to 4 percent of the actual 
rent value. Virtually all of the estimates will be within five percent 
of the actual value.
    Four of the RDDs conducted last year resulted in FMR estimates that 
were lower than the FY 1994 FMRs. As HUD announced in the April 6, 
1994, publication of the final FMRs, the surveys for these four areas 
have been used to develop the FY 1995 proposed FMRs. The four areas 
are: Holmes County, FL; Washington County, FL; Gage County, NE; and the 
Jamestown, NY MSA.
    In addition, the proposed FY 1995 FMRs for thirteen areas are based 
on RDD surveys completed this year.
    The survey results for six of the thirteen areas were within the 
statistical confidence interval of the previous FMRs for both the 45th 
and 40th percentile estimates. These six areas are Allentown-Bethlehem, 
PA; Curry County, NM; Medford-Ashland, OR; McAllen-Edinburg, TX; 
Wichita Falls, TX; and Wise County, VA. The calculations of the 
proposed FY 1995 FMRs for these areas, therefore, are not affected by 
the results of the RDD surveys.
    For four FMR areas--Brownsville-Harlingen-San Benito, TX; Biloxi-
Gulfport-Pascagoula, MS; Lafayette, LA; and Richland-Kennewick-Pasco, 
WA--the survey results indicated that the FMRs were too low, and larger 
than normal increases are being proposed for both sets of FMRs.
    For Reading, PA, the survey indicated that the FMRs were too high 
and a small decrease is proposed in the 45th percentile FMRs for that 
area. The 40th percentile survey rent, however, is within the 
confidence interval and, therefore, the proposed FMRs are not affected 
by the RDD.
    For Roosevelt County, NM, a larger than normal increase is proposed 
in the 45th percentile FMR, but the 40th percentile estimate is within 
the confidence interval and, therefore, not affected by the RDD survey 
results.
    The FMRs for Las Cruces, NM are being proposed with a decrease in 
both the 45th and 40th percentile FMRs based on the RDD survey results.

AHS Areas

    AHSs cover the largest metropolitan areas on a four-year cycle. 
These areas, in total, contain over half of the nation's rental housing 
stock. Both the 45th and 40th percentile rents for these areas have 
been calculated from the distributions of two-bedroom units occupied by 
recent movers. Public housing units, newly constructed units and units 
that fail a housing quality test were excluded from the AHS rental 
housing distributions before the FMRs were calculated. The proposed FY 
1995 FMRs incorporate the results of the 1992 AHSs for seven FMR areas.
    Of these areas, five had survey rent estimates that were within the 
statistical confidence interval of the previous FMRs: Birmingham, AL; 
Cleveland-Lorain-Elyria, OH; Indianapolis, IN; Salt Lake City-Ogden, 
UT; and Norfolk-Virginia Beach-Newport News, VA-NC. The calculation of 
the proposed FY 1995 FMRs for these areas, therefore, was not affected 
by the AHSs.
    Two FMR areas--Memphis, TN-AR-MS and Oklahoma City, OK--are being 
proposed for FMR decreases based on the 1992 AHS survey results.

VI. Request for Comments

    HUD seeks public comments on FMR levels for specific areas. 
Comments on FMR levels must include sufficient information (including 
local data and a full description of the methodology used) to justify 
any proposed changes. Changes may be proposed in any or all of the 
bedroom-size categories on the schedule. Recommendations and supporting 
data must reflect the rent levels that exist within the entire FMR 
area.
    PHAs that plan to use the RDD survey technique may obtain a copy of 
the ``PHA Guide to Conducting a Fair Market Rent (FMR) Telephone 
Survey'' by calling HUD USER on 1-800-245-2691. (For this year only, 
PHAs should make sure that the RDD survey results show both the 45th 
and 40th percentile rents.) The survey guide contains information on: 
(1) how to decide whether to conduct a rent survey; (2) selecting a 
contractor; and (3) monitoring the contract. In addition, there are 
example copies of a request for bids letter and a contract package, the 
survey questionnaire and interviewer training manual, and a detailed 
explanation of the methodology. After a contract is awarded, these 
surveys can normally be completed within two to three months. The 
hardware and the timing of staff utilization require that RDD surveys 
be conducted by contractors staffed with professional statisticians 
experienced in this field.
    Well-constructed RDD surveys are HUD's preferred method for 
obtaining FMR estimates; however, use of these surveys is not mandated 
where not cost effective or where alternative surveys with comparable 
reliability are available and have been determined to be representative 
of prevailing rent levels in the FMR area. Preferably, the survey 
samples should be randomly drawn from a complete list of rental units 
for the FMR area. If this is not a feasible alternative, the selected 
sample must be statistically representative of the entire rental 
housing stock of the FMR area. In particular, alternative surveys must 
include units of all rent levels and be representative by structure 
type (including single-family, duplex and other small rental 
properties), age of housing unit, and geographic location. The 
decennial Census should be used as a starting point and means of 
verification for determining whether non-randomly drawn samples are 
representative of the FMR area's rental housing stock.
    Local rental housing surveys must show both the 45th and 40th 
percentile gross rents (gross rent is rent including the cost of 
utilities) and the actual distribution (or distributions if more than 
one bedroom size is surveyed) of the surveyed units rank ordered by 
gross rent. An explanation of how contract rents were converted to 
gross rents must be included. The surveys must exclude units built 
within two years prior to the survey date, and samples must not be 
drawn solely from vacant units. Since the FMR standard data base uses 
only standard quality units and units occupied by recent movers, both 
of which are difficult to identify and survey, the Department will 
accept surveys of all units and apply an appropriate adjustment.
    Commenters must specify the date the rent data were collected so 
that HUD can apply a trending factor to update the estimate to April 1, 
1995. Survey data that are trended to the April 1, 1995 ``as of date'' 
of the FMRs must include information on the date the survey was 
conducted, the amount of the trending factor and the source of the 
trending data.
    Rent surveys that cover only two-bedroom units are acceptable if 
rent proposals for other size units are consistent with the HUD 
differentials established on the basis of the 1990 Census data for the 
area. When three- and four-bedroom units are surveyed, the following 
procedure must be used to determine appropriate FMR proposals: (1) 
Determine the 45th and 40th percentile rents for the three- and four-
bedroom units surveyed, (2) multiply the three-bedroom rents by 1.087, 
and (3) multiply the four-bedroom rents by 1.077 to determine FMRs. The 
use of these factors will produce the same upward adjustments in the 
rent differentials by bedroom size as those applied to the rent 
differentials for three- and four-bedroom units used in the HUD 
methodology.

VII. Other Matters

    A Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment 
required by the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321-4374) 
is unnecessary, since the statutorily required establishment and review 
of fair market rents is categorically excluded from the Department's 
regulations implementing the National Environment Policy Act at 24 CFR 
50.20(l).
    The Secretary, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 
U.S.C. 605(b)), has reviewed this document before publication and by 
approving it certifies that the Notice does not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because FMRs 
reflect the rents for similar quality units in the area. Therefore, 
FMRs do not change the rent from that which would be charged if the 
unit were not in the Section 8 program.
    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under Executive 
Order No. 12606, The Family, has determined that this proposal would 
not have a significant impact on family formation, maintenance, or 
well-being. The proposal would amend Fair Market Rent schedules for 
various Section 8 assisted housing programs, and does not affect the 
amount of rent a family receiving rental assistance pays, which is 
based on a percentage of the family's income.
    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a) 
of Executive Order No. 12611, Federalism, has determined that this 
proposal would not involve the preemption of State law by Federal 
statute or regulation and would not have Federalism implications. The 
Fair Market Rent schedules do not have any substantial direct impact on 
States, on the relationship between the Federal Government and the 
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibility among the 
various levels of government.

    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance program number is 
14.156, Lower-Income Housing Assistance Program (Section 8).

    Accordingly, the Fair Market Rent schedules, which will not be 
codified in the Code of Federal Regulations, are proposed to be amended 
as follows:

Section 8 Fair Market Rent Schedules for Use in the Rental Certificate 
Program, Loan Management and Property Disposition Programs, Moderate 
Rehabilitation Program, and Rental Voucher Program Schedules B & D--
General Explanatory Notes

1. Geographic Coverage

    a. FMRs for the Section 8 Rental Certificate program (Schedule B) 
are established, for Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), Primary 
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (PMSAs), other HUD-designated 
metropolitan FMR areas, for nonmetropolitan counties and county 
equivalents in the United States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and 
the Pacific Islands. (The Pacific Islands include Guam, the Mariana 
Islands, and the Trust Territories). FMRs also are established for 
nonmetropolitan parts of counties in the New England states.
    b. FMRs for Section 8 manufactured home spaces are established at 
30 percent of the two-bedroom Section 8 Rental Certificate program 
FMRs, with the exception of the areas listed in Schedule D, whose FMRs 
have been modified on the basis of public comments. The FMR area 
definitions used for the manufactured home spaces are the same as for 
the Section 8 Rental Certificate program.
    c. FMRs for the areas in Virginia shown in the table below are 
established by combining the 1990 Census data for the nonmetropolitan 
counties with the data for the independent cities that are located 
within the county borders. Because of space limitations, the FMR 
listing in Schedule B includes only the name of the nonmetropolitan 
County. The full definitions of these areas including the independent 
cities are as follows:

2. FMR Schedules

    a. The FMR areas in Schedules B and D are listed alphabetically by 
metropolitan FMR area and by nonmetropolitan county within each State. 
Two Schedules are included in this publication. The first includes the 
proposed FMR estimates at the 45th percentile level and the second 
includes the FMR estimates at the 40th percentile level.
    b. The constituent counties (and New England towns and cities) 
included in each metropolitan FMR area are listed immediately following 
the listings of the FMR dollar amounts. All constituent parts of an 
metropolitan FMR area that are in more than one State can be identified 
by consulting the listings for each applicable State.
    c. Two nonmetropolitan counties are listed alphabetically on each 
line of the nonmetropolitan county listings.
    d. The New England towns and cities included in a nonmetropolitan 
part of a county are listed immediately following the county name.
    e. The FMRs are listed by dollar amount on the first line beginning 
with the FMR area name.
