SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 7, 1994 (59 FR 34902), HUD published a proposed rule that 
would implement the rulemaking required by section 919 of the Housing 
and Community Development Act of 1992. Section 919 requires the 
Secretary of HUD to issue ``rules defining what are `significant 
facilities and services especially designed to meet the physical or 
social needs of older persons' required under section 807(b)(2) of the 
Fair Housing Act to meet the definition of the term `housing for older 
persons' in such section.'' The regulations governing ``housing for 
older persons'' are codified in 24 CFR part 100, subpart E, and the 
July 7, 1994 proposed rule (also referred to as the ``Significant 
Facilities proposed rule'') would amend subpart E to provide the 
definitions required by section 919.
    On August 9, 1994 (59 FR 40502), HUD published a notice announcing 
four public meetings to be held across the country to discuss the July 
7, 1994 proposed rule and to provide an additional opportunity for 
members of the public to submit comments on the rule.
