[Docket No. FR-5223-C-03]


Final Fair Market Rents for Fiscal Year 2009 for the Housing 
Choice Voucher Program and Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room 
Occupancy Program: Technical Correction

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and 
Research, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of Final Fair Market Rents (FMRs) for Fiscal Year (FY) 
2009, technical correction.

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

SUMMARY: On September 29, 2008, the Department published its FY2009 
Final FMRs for the Housing Choice Voucher Program and Moderate 
Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy Program. In that notice, HUD 
incorrectly identified Schedule B as proposed FY2009 FMRs when the 
rents published were in fact the final FY2009 Final FMRs. Today's 
Federal Register notice corrects the title of Schedule B to ``FY2009 
Final Fair Market Rents For Existing Housing.''

DATES: Effective Date: October 1, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For technical information on the 
methodology used to develop FMRs or a listing of all FMRs, please call 
the HUD USER information line at 800-245-2691 or access the information 
at the following link on the HUD Web site: http://www.huduser.org/datasets/fmr.html. Any questions related to use of FMRs or voucher 
payment standards should be directed to the respective local HUD 
program staff. Questions on how to conduct FMR surveys or further 
methodological explanations may be addressed to Marie L. Lihn or Lynn 
A. Rodgers, Economic and Market Analysis Division, Office of Economic 
Affairs, Office of Policy Development and Research, telephone number 
202-708-0590. Persons with hearing or speech impairments may access 
this number through TTY by calling the toll-free Federal Information 
Relay Service at 800-877-8339. (Other than the HUD USER information 
line and TTY numbers, telephone numbers are not toll-free.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 29, 2008 (73 FR 56638), the 
Department published its FY2009 Final Fair Market Rents for the Housing 
Choice Voucher Program and Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room 
Occupancy Program. As required by section 8(c)(1) of the United States 
Housing Act of 1937, the September 29, 2008, notice provided final 
FY2009 FMRs for all areas that reflect the estimated 40th and 50th 
percentile rent levels trended to April 1, 2009, using the 2006 
American Community Survey data, and more recent Consumer Price Index 
rent and utility indexes. In that notice, HUD incorrectly identified 
Schedule B as proposed FY2009 FMRs when the rents published were in 
fact the final FY2009 Final FMRs. To avoid any confusion, the 
Department is publishing today's notice to correct the title of 
Schedule B to ``FY2009 Final Fair Market Rents for Existing Housing.'' 
Only the title of the Schedule B is changed by today's notice: the FMRs 
published on September 29, 2008, are the final FY2009 FMRs.
Correction
    Accordingly, the document published on September 29, 2008 (73 FR 
56638) is corrected to change the title of all pages of the table in 
Schedule B to ``FY2009 Final Fair Market Rents For Existing Housing''.

    Dated: October 21, 2008.
Kurt G. Usowski,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Economic Affairs.
