Jamestown, NY, MSA; Utica-Rome, NY, MSA; Oklahoma City, OK, MSA;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 30, 2002 (67 FR 61382), HUD 
published its Notice of Fiscal Year 2003 Fair Market Rents (FMRs) for 
the Housing Choice Voucher Program and Moderate Rehabilitation Single-
Room Occupancy Program. This notice makes technical corrections to the 
market rents in nine areas. These corrections are made because 
incorrect application of state minimum rents resulted in some minor 
decreases for certain bedroom rents in Binghamton, NY, Elmira, NY, 
Jamestown, NY, Utica-Rome, NY, and Altoona, PA. In addition, a 
calculation error resulted in lower FMRs for two metropolitan counties, 
Henderson County, TX and Culpeper County, VA. Finally, the San 
Francisco, CA and Oklahoma City, OK FMR areas have been recalculated 
and corrected.
    Accordingly, FR Doc 02-24619, the Notice of Fiscal Year 2003 Fair 
Market Rents for the Housing Choice Voucher Program and Moderate 
Rehabilitation Single-Room Occupancy Program, published on September 
30, 2002 (67 FR 61382) is corrected as follows:
