[Docket No. FR-6519-I-02]
RIN 2529-AB08
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Revisions; Extension of
Comment Period
AGENCY: Department of Housing and Urban Development; Office of General
Counsel.
ACTION: Interim final rule; request for comments; extension of comment
period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On March 3, 2025, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) published in the Federal Register an interim final
rule entitled ``Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Revisions.'' The
interim final rule provided for a 60-day comment period, which would
have ended May 2, 2025. However, following a technical problem with
regulations.gov that appeared to prohibit the electronic submission of
comments on this rule beginning on or about April 28, HUD has
determined that a seven-day extension of the comment period, until May
9, 2025, is appropriate. This extension will allow interested persons
who may have tried unsuccessfully to submit comments additional time to
do so.
DATES: The comment period for the interim final rule published on March
3, 2025, at 90 FR 11020, is extended. Comments should be received on or
before May 9, 2025.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding
this notice to the Regulations Division,

Office of General Counsel, Department of Housing and Urban Development,
451 7th Street SW, Room 10276, Washington, DC 20410-0500.
Communications must refer to the above docket number and title. There
are two methods for submitting public comments. All submissions must
refer to the above docket number and title.
1. Submission of Comments by Mail. Comments may be submitted by
mail to the Regulations Division, Office of General Counsel, Department
of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street SW, Room 10276,
Washington, DC 20410-0500.
2. Electronic Submission of Comments. Interested persons may submit
comments electronically through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at
www.regulations.gov. HUD strongly encourages commenters to submit
comments electronically. Electronic submission of comments allows the
commenter maximum time to prepare and submit a comment, ensures timely
receipt by HUD, and enables HUD to make them immediately available to
the public. Comments submitted electronically through the
www.regulations.gov website can be viewed by other commenters and
interested members of the public. Commenters should follow the
instructions provided on that site to submit comments electronically.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew Hughes, Chief of Staff, or
Brian Miller, Acting General Counsel, U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development, 451 7th Street SW, Washington, DC 20410; telephone
number 202-402-2244 (this is not a toll-free number). HUD welcomes and
is prepared to receive calls from individuals who are deaf or hard of
hearing, as well as individuals with speech or communication
disabilities. To learn more about how to make an accessible telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 3, 2025, at 90 FR 11020, the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published in the
Federal Register an interim final rule entitled ``Affirmatively
Furthering Fair Housing Revisions.''
The interim final rule provided for a 60-day comment period, which
would have ended May 2, 2025. However, following a migration performed
on the Federal eRulemaking Portal at www.regulations.gov on or about
April 28, HUD discovered that the public comments were not being
updated. HUD subsequently discovered that the ability to submit a
public comment at www.regulations.gov did not appear to be operational.
HUD informed staff at the Federal eRulemaking Portal and the issue has
been resolved. Nevertheless, HUD has determined that a seven-day
extension of the comment period, until May 9, 2025, is appropriate.
This extension will allow interested persons who may have tried
unsuccessfully to submit comments additional time to do so.
Amanda Wahlig,
Acting Associate General Counsel for Legislation and Regulations.
