[Docket No. FR-5399-C-02]
RIN 2577-AC82


Public Housing Program: Demolition or Disposition of Public 
Housing Projects, and Conversion of Public Housing to Tenant-Based 
Assistance; Correction

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: HUD is correcting a proposed rule published in the Federal 
Register of October 16, 2014. The November 16, 2014 proposed rule 
incorrectly defined the term ``HCC'' in Sec.  970.15. This document 
corrects as unnecessary an inadvertent error in expanding the 
abbreviation ``HCC'' as it occurred in Sec.  970.15(a) of the rule. The 
term ``HCC'' is correctly defined in another section of the same rule.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephen Shaw, Regulations Division, 
Office of General Counsel, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 
451 7th Street SW., Room 10276, Washington, DC 20410-8000; telephone 
number 202-402-5087 (this is not a toll-free number). Hearing- or 
speech-impaired individuals may access this number through TTY by 
calling the toll-free Federal Relay Service at 800-877-8339.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 16, 2014, HUD published a 
proposed rule entitled, ``Public Housing Program: Demolition or 
Disposition of Public Housing Projects, and Conversion of Public 
Housing to Tenant-Based Assistance'' (79 FR 62250). In Sec.  970.15(a), 
the proposed rule inadvertently defined the term ``HCC'' as Housing 
Conservation Coordinators. In Sec.  970.5, ``HCC'' is correctly defined 
as Housing Construction Cost. As a result, HUD is correcting this 
section by removing the incorrect language from the rule.
    In FR Doc. 2014-24068 appearing on page 62250 in the Federal 
Register of Thursday, October 16, 2014, the following correction is 
made. On page 62280, in the third column, correct paragraph (a)(2) of 
Sec.  970.15 to read as follows:


Sec.  970.15  [Corrected].

    (a) * * *
    (2) No reasonable program of modifications is cost-effective to 
return the project to its useful life as evidenced by at least one 
estimate of the rehabilitation cost of the project by an independent 
architect or engineer that is not a regular employee of the PHA. HUD 
generally shall not consider a program of modifications to be cost-
effective if the costs of such program exceed HCC in effect at the time 
the application is submitted to HUD; and

Assistant General Counsel for Regulations.
