SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 14, 2023 (88 FR 9600) (FR Doc. 
2023-01617), HUD published a final rule implementing sections 102, 103, 
and 104 of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 
(HOTMA) (Pub. L. 114-201, 130 Stat. 782). In addition to amending 
regulations for HUD's public housing, Section 8 programs, and 
multifamily HUD programs including Section 202 and Section 811, the 
rule also amends HUD's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME 
Investment Partnerships (HOME), Housing Trust Fund (HTF), and Housing 
Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) programs to implement 
statutory changes made by HOTMA. Among other changes, HUD's February 
14, 2023, final rule amended the definition of ``dependent'' at Sec.  
5.603. The final rule also added a new section, Sec.  960.509, Lease 
requirements for nonpublic housing over-income families.
    In reviewing the February 14, 2013, final rule, HUD identified two 
inadvertent errors, one in an amendatory instruction related to the 
revision of Sec.  5.603, and the second in the regulatory text related 
to the addition of Sec.  960.509. Initially, in amendatory instruction 
10, HUD states that it is revising several definitions. The amendatory 
instruction, however, failed to include direction to revise the 
definition for ``dependent''. HUD's preamble text discusses this 
revised definition and the regulatory text for Sec.  5.603 included the 
revised definition.
    Second, Sec.  960.509(b)(6) incorrectly contains two paragraphs 
designated ``(b)(6)(xii)''. The second paragraph designated 
``(b)(6)(xii)'' is incorrectly designated and should be designated 
``(b)(6)(xiii)''.

Correction

Modernization Act of 2016: Implementation of Sections 102, 103, and

follows:
