SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 6, 2003 (68 FR 6262), HUD issued 
a proposed rule that would amend the Public Housing Assessment System 
(PHAS) regulations, codified at 24 CFR part 902, to provide additional 
information on PHAS procedures, revise certain procedures, and 
establish new procedures for the assessment of the physical condition, 
financial condition, management operations, and resident services and 
satisfaction with services provided to public housing residents. HUD 
intended to publish proposed revised grading notices at the time that 
it published the PHAS proposed rule. These notices will be published 
soon. In order to allow the public housing agencies (PHAs) and the 
public the benefit of reviewing the grading notices in relation to the 
PHAS proposed rule, HUD is extending the public comment period for an 
additional 60 days to coincide with the public comment period for the 
grading notices. The public comment due date for the February 6, 2003, 
PHAS proposed rule is extended to June 8, 2003.

    Dated: March 28, 2003.
Michael Liu,
Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
