DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

24 CFR Part 586

[Docket No. FR-3820-I-05]
RIN 2506-AB72


Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development; Base Closure Community Redevelopment and Homeless 
Assistance

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development (HUD).

ACTION: Interim rule.

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

SUMMARY: This interim rule removes 24 CFR 586.50, to extend until the 
effective date of a final rule the period that the interim rule for the 
Base Closure Community Redevelopment and Homeless Assistance Program 
will be in effect.

DATES: Effective Date: September 30, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Perry Vietti, Office of Community 
Viability, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development, Room 7220, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 
451 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410, (202) 708-2186, ext. 4396, 
or, TTY number for hearing and speech-impaired, (202) 708-0738 (these 
telephone numbers are not toll-free).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 586.50 was added to implement a 
Department-wide policy for the expiration of interim rules within a set 
period of time if they are not issued in final form before the end of 
the period. The rule provides that the effective period of the interim 
rule may be extended by notice published in the Federal Register. 
Because the expiration date for the Base Closure Community 
Redevelopment and Homeless Assistance Program interim rule is currently 
September 17, 1996, and a final rule is not expected to be effective 
before that date, such a notice has been published extending the 
effective period of the interim rule until the final rule is published 
and made effective. This rule makes the conforming change to 
Sec. 586.50.

II. Other Matters

Impact on the Environment

    For the interim rule published for this part, HUD made a Finding of 
No Significant Impact with respect to the environment in accordance 
with HUD regulations in 24 CFR Part 50, which implement Section 
102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 
4332. The changes made by this rule do not substantively affect the 
Finding of No Significant Impact prepared for the interim rule, and it 
remains applicable. That Finding of No Significant Impact is available 
for public inspection and copying between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. 
weekdays in the Office of the Rules Docket Clerk, Room 10276, 451 
Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Secretary, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 
U.S.C. 605(b)), has reviewed this rule before publication and by 
approving it certifies that this rule would not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule 
only eliminates a sunset provision and keeps the interim rule in effect 
until the publication of a final rule.

Federalism Impact

    The General Counsel of HUD, as the Designated Official under 
Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the policies 
contained in this rule would not have any impact under the Order. This 
rule only eliminates a sunset provision and keeps the interim rule in 
effect until the publication of a final rule.

Impact on the Family

    The General Counsel of HUD, as the Designated Official under 
Executive Order 12606, The Family, has determined that this interim 
rule would not have an impact on family formation, maintenance, and 
general well-being. This rule only eliminates a sunset provision and 
keeps the interim rule in effect until the publication of a final rule.
