Homeownership Demonstration Program in Omaha, Nebraska; Technical 
Correction

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION: Final rule; technical correction.

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

SUMMARY: On January 20, 1995, HUD published a final rule implementing a 
demonstration program that permits the homeownership sale of single 
family homes administered by the Housing Authority of the City of 
Omaha, Nebraska (60 FR 4344). This document corrects Sec. 907.8(d) of 
that final rule, to include certain amendatory language that was 
inadvertently omitted.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of this correction is February 2, 
1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary Van Buskirk, Homeownership 
Division, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing 
and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4112, Washington, 
DC 20410. Telephone number, voice (202) 708-4233, TDD (202) 708-0850. 
(These are not toll-free numbers.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 20, 1995 (60 FR 4344), HUD 
published a final rule implementing section 132 of the Housing and 

[[Page 6400]]
Community Development Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-550, approved Oct. 28, 
1992). Section 132 establishes a demonstration program to facilitate 
self-sufficiency and to permit the homeownership sale of single family 
homes administered by the Housing Authority of the City of Omaha in the 
State of Nebraska. The purpose of the demonstration is to exhibit the 
effectiveness of promoting homeownership and providing support 
services.
    This document corrects Sec. 907.8(d) of that final rule, to include 
certain amendatory language that was described in the preamble to the 
final rule, but inadvertently omitted from the rule text. On page 4345 
of the final rule (60 FR 4345), in paragraph II.2., in the second 
column, the preamble states: ``Additionally, in response to the Housing 
Authority's comment above, the final rule includes as eligible 
homebuyers both current residents and applicants for public housing. 
Since HUD has changed the rule in this manner, the Housing Authority 
must comply with Secs. 907.7(b), 907.8(d), and 907.20(n).'' However, 
while the preamble indicated that Sec. 907.8(d) would be amended to 
recognize that applicants for public housing could also be eligible 
homebuyers, this amendment was inadvertently omitted from the rule 
text.
    Accordingly, FR Doc. 95-1414, a final rule published in the Federal 
Register on January 20, 1995 (60 FR 4344) is corrected to read as 
follows:
    1. Section 907.8 is corrected by revising the second sentence in 
paragraph (d) to read as follows:


Sec. 907.8  Purchaser eligibility and selection.

* * * * *
    (d) Procedures/Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Strategy. * * * 
The Housing Authority must have an affirmative fair housing marketing 
strategy that applies to all transactions undertaken through this 
program and that stresses equal access to the program for both current 
residents and applicants for public housing. * * *
* * * * *
    Dated: January 27, 1995.

General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
