Additional Streamlining Changes; Correction

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

ACTION: Final rule, correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Housing and Urban Development is correcting 
a final rule entitled, ``Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act 
of 2016--Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and Project-Based Voucher 
Implementation; Additional Streamlining Changes'' that published on May 
7, 2024.

DATES: Effective: June 6, 2024.

correction, contact Allison Lack, Assistant General Counsel for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 7, 2024, HUD published a final rule 
amending HUD's regulations to implement changes to the Housing Choice 
Voucher (HCV) and Project-Based Voucher (PBV) programs made by the 
Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA) (89 FR 
38224) (FR Doc. 2024-08601). In reviewing the May 7, 2024, final rule, 
HUD identified five inadvertent errors.
    First, in the final rule, certain amendments are delayed 
indefinitely. Initially, in the DATES heading, HUD incorrectly 
identified the delayed amendment to 24 CFR 983.157 as located in 
instruction 100. The correct instruction is 99.
    Second, amendatory instruction 64 incorrectly states the existing 
regulatory text in Sec.  982.402(b)(2) as ``housing quality standards 
(HQS)''. In fact, the text to be replaced reads ``housing quality 
standards''.
    Third, Sec.  983.10 incorrectly contains paragraph (b)(3) twice, 
each with the same text. This paragraph should only be included once.
    Fourth, Sec.  983.51(e)(2) incorrectly omits paragraph (ii) and 
instead contains two paragraphs designated ``(iii)'', each with the 
same text. The first of the two paragraphs should be designated as 
paragraph (ii) and read: ``The project meets the environmental review 
requirements at Sec.  983.56, if applicable; and''.
    Fifth, the revisions to part 983, subpart D incorrectly excluded 
Sec.  983.157, which should have been removed. A subsequent instruction 
correctly adds a new Sec.  983.157, although it is delayed pending 
future publication in the Federal Register.
