Semiannual Agenda of Regulations

AGENCY: Department of Housing and Urban Development.

ACTION: Semiannual agenda, under Executive Order 12866 and the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, of regulations expected to be issued and 
under review.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 4(b) of Executive Order 12866 
``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' the Department is publishing its 
agenda of proposed regulations already issued or expected to be issued 
and of currently effective rules that are under review. Also, under 
section 602 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Department has 
prepared a regulatory flexibility agenda of regulations expected to be 
proposed or promulgated, which are likely to have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. As permitted 
by Executive Order 12866 and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the two 
agendas are combined for publication.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Myra L. Ransick, Assistant General 
Counsel for Regulations, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 
Room 10276, 451 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20410, (202) 708-
3055. (This is not a toll-free number.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning 
and Review,'' published on October 4, 1993 (58 FR 51735), requires each 
agency to publish semiannually an agenda of regulations that the agency 
has issued or expects to issue and of currently effective regulations 
that are under agency review.

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, requires each 
agency to publish semiannually a regulatory flexibility agenda of 
rules expected to be proposed or promulgated, which are likely to 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
``small entities,'' meaning small businesses, small organizations, 
or small governmental jurisdictions.

    Executive Order 12866 and section 605 of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act each permits incorporation of the agenda required 
with any other prescribed agenda. Accordingly, the agenda set out 
below combines the information required by the Executive order and 
by the Regulatory Flexibility Act. In addition, the agenda contains 
certain information not required by either the Executive order or 
by the Act which the Department considers useful, both better to 
inform the public and to enhance the Department's own inventory 
control over its body of regulations.

    For purposes of Executive Order 12866, ``regulation'' or 
``rule'' is defined as ``an agency statement of general 
applicability and future effect, which the agency intends to have 
the force and effect of law, that is designed to implement, 
interpret, or prescribe law or policy or to describe the procedure 
or practice requirements of an agency'' subject to certain 
exceptions. The agenda published below concentrates upon regulatory 
material contained or expected to be contained in the Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR) (or incorporated therein by reference) 
following publication in the Federal Register. As appropriate, 
however, issuances in the nature of general statements of policy 
may be published in the Federal Register but not for coordination 
in the CFR.

    The Department also is subject to certain requirements 
involving congressional review of rulemaking action, including 
publication of an agenda. Section 7(o) of the Department of Housing 
and Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3535(o)) requires that the 
Secretary transmit to the congressional committees having 
jurisdictional oversight (the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing 
and Urban Affairs and the House Committee on Banking, Finance and 
Urban Affairs) a semiannual agenda of all rules or regulations 
which are under development or review by the Department. A rule 
appearing on the agenda cannot be published for comment before or 
during the first 15 calendar days after transmittal of the agenda. 
If, within that period, either committee notifies the Secretary 
that it intends to review any rule or regulation which appears on 
the agenda, the Secretary must submit to both committees a copy of 
the rule or regulation, in the form it is intended to be proposed, 
at least 15 calendar days before it is published for comment. The 
semiannual agenda published today is the agenda transmitted to the 
committees in compliance with the foregoing requirement.

    The agenda items are divided first by program office. Within 
each program office, the agenda items are divided into four groups: 
(i) Prerulemaking actions, (ii) publication or other 
implementations of notices of proposed rulemaking, (iii) 
publications or other implementations of final rules, and (iv) 
completed actions. Within each grouping, rules are listed in 
chronological order by the part number of the CFR affected. Where a 
rule affects multiple parts of the CFR, the rule is listed by the 
first affected part number. Priority rules include all regulations 
designated for priority development by the Department.

    Items listed in this agenda are from the following offices 
within the Department: Office of the Secretary; Office of Housing; 
Office of Public and Indian Housing; Office of Community Planning 
and Development; Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity; 
Government National Mortgage Association; Office of Administration; 
and Office of the Inspector General.

decision, involving an appeal of a debarment action taken by the 
Department, has greatly reduced the effectiveness of Section 24.305(d). 
The purpose of this rule is to correct the effect of the District 
Court's decision, and to clarify the Department's established and 
unchanged policy regarding causes for debarment.

jurisdictions in the HOME program to implement the requirements of 
section 220(b)(1) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. 
In addition, the rule would apply the Plan requirements to CDBG-funded

Abstract: This rule proposes to address the following: (1) the 
Secretary's priorities for an interpretation of the Department's 
mission by ``helping people create communities of opportunities'' 
through the promotion of good design, public amenities, and quality 
environments within improvements being proposed to the HUD process of 
environmental review and decisionmaking; (2) the Department's 
reorganization, which eliminates the ten Regional Offices thereby 
affecting environmental responsibilities assigned to Regional and Field 
personnel by this part; (3) the legislative and executive 
authorizations covering Federal-wide environmental policy and 
compliance applicable to new and existing HUD programs for which the 
Department retains the Federal environmental review responsibility 
under this part; (4) the updating of existing provisions of this part 
that need to be clarified based on HUD's experience since this part was 
originally issued; the rule would reduce regulatory burdens and 
procedural details consistent with environmental laws and other 
authorities and assure policy consistency for all HUD programs.

Abstract: This rule would implement the requirement of the National

would supersede the rules on protection of historic and cultural 
properties issued by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation at

the rule is to streamline the historic preservation review process 
within HUD, so the process can be better accommodated in the 
Department's program operations.

Abstract: This rule is needed to revise HUD's present regulations

(FHLMC) because of the enactment of the Federal Housing Enterprises 
Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (``the New Act''), Title 
XIII of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. Under the 
New Act, the Secretary has new specific statutory duties concerning: 
new program approval; fair housing; establishing goals for mortgage 
purchases of low-and moderate-income housing, special affordable 
housing, and underserved areas; FOIA procedures, reporting and all 
other regulations needed to ensure that purposes of the New Act, the 
FNMA Charter Act, and the FHLMC Act are accomplished. The New Act 
confers authority on an independent Director to ensure the financial 
safety and soundness of the enterprises which necessitates 
modifications to the Secretary's regulations as well as regulations 
implementing the Director's responsibilities.

permanent residence in the United States. The restriction applies to 
the Public and Indian Housing programs, the Section 8 Housing 
Assistance Payments programs, the Rent Supplement program, the Section 
236 program, and the Section 235 homeownership assistance program.
This rule would implement the restrictions against access to HUD-
assisted housing by persons with ineligible immigration status in a way 
that assures the protection of eligible persons from discrimination on 
the basis of national origin.

Significance:

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule would make the repayment of disallowed costs, as 
determined under the Departmental Audits Management System, a threshold 
requirement to be met in all of HUD's Discretionary Assistance 
Programs.
As such, this rule would provide an additional important tool for the 
Department to collect moneys expended for ineligible purposes under HUD 
programs. This is particularly true with respect to State and local 
governments, which are not subject to administrative offset under the 
Federal Claims Collection Act.
There is no administrative or programmatic cost under the proposal. The 
potential for recovering disallowed costs, by establishing such a 
precondition for discretionary program assistance, lies in the millions 
of dollars.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule adopts final procedures to implement Executive 
Order (E.O.) 11988, Floodplain Management. The proposed procedures to 
implement E.O. 11990, the Protection of Wetlands, which has been 
published as a proposed rule (55 FR 396-409) covering procedures to 
implement both E.Os. simultaneously, are being withdrawn to allow the 
new Administration time to review and provide direction for Federal 
wetlands protection.
These floodplain management procedures apply to all HUD programs and 
provide direction for compliance by HUD or by certain State and local 
grant recipients assuming Federal environmental responsibilities. 
Compliance is required before any respective decisions to approve a 
proposed action that (1) involves HUD financial assistance and (2) 
would affect a floodplain. The rule is designed as a balanced rule and 
implements the E.O. 11988 while cutting costs and review time for HUD-
related housing and other actions by reducing or eliminating processing 
steps where appropriate.
In addition to the implementation procedures, HUD is revising 24 CFR

Abstract: This rule would adjust the existing environmental procedures 
to meet the needs of newer HUD grant programs authorized since this

persons with disabilities to live independently and also the provision 
of assistance for the retrofitting of dwelling units and common space 
to meet the special physical needs of residents. HUD and the Department 
of Agriculture are directed by Section 802(m) to jointly issue any 
necessary regulations within 180 days after enactment. No funds were 
appropriated for this program for FY 1991.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule would amend HUD's regulations governing the 
location of assisted housing projects (site and neighborhood standards) 
to establish a quantitative standard by which HUD determines whether 
the location contains an undue concentration (high proportion) of 
poverty-level population. The existing regulations do not specify how 
an undue concentration determination will be made. The rule would 
require projects to be located only in census tracts in which the 
percentage of people with incomes below the poverty level is less than 
a stated, fixed percentage, with certain exceptions. The purpose of 
this rule is to provide for a more objective standard for determining 
undue concentration of lower-income households.

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 813; 24 CFR 905; 24 CFR 913; 24 CFR 215; 24 CFR 
236

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, April 28, 1993.

Abstract: The provisions of this regulation ease the rent burden for 
working families and provide needed incentives for residents to improve 
their economic situations. These provisions assist families who are 
making the transition from welfare to gainful employment and encourage 
higher income working families (who are candidates for homeownership) 
to remain in public housing. This regulation removes several of the 
structural disincentives that exist in current regulations, encourages 
families to become more self-sufficient and fosters long-term upward 
mobility.
This regulation includes implementation of: an exclusion from income of 
benefits received to families participating in a job training program; 
an exclusion for deferred periodic payments of supplemental security 
income and social security benefits that are received in a lump sum and 
several HUD discretionary income exclusions.
This regulation implements:
Section 515 of the NAHA of 1990
Section 103(a) of the HCD Act of 1992
HUD Discretionary Income Exclusions

906; 24 CFR 960

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, April 26, 1993.

Abstract: This rule amends 24 CFR 880 et al. to reflect statutory 
changes mandated by the National Housing Act of 1990 and the Housing 
and Community Development Act of 1992. These changes require revisions 
to the tenant selection preference provisions of the regulations of 
several project-based assisted housing programs. The rule decreases the 
number of families that must be admitted on the basis of qualifying for 
a Federal selection preference and specifically authorizes adoption of 
local selection preferences by Housing Authorities, in admitting some 
applicants. The adoption of local preferences is done through an 
established hearing process. Permission to use the approved local 
preferences in individual Section 8 project based properties is 
required from HUD, prior to implementation, to assure the local 
preferences do not conflict with statutory program requirements. The 
rule provided that residency preferences would be subject to prior HUD 
approval to assure that they are in compliance with Fair Housing Act 
obligations.

Abstract: This rule would implement section 573(a) of the National

would add ``near-elderly'' as an eligibility category, subsume the 
definition of ``handicapped'' under ``disabled,'' and provide separate 
definitions of ``elderly family'' and ``disabled family.'' It would 
also implement the effect of the Fair Housing Act on occupancy 
requirements for single, pregnant women and persons in the process of 
obtaining custody of another individual.

Regulatory Plan entry: Undetermined

Legal Authority:  42 USC 3535(d)

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 202; 24 CFR 206

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 255 of the National Housing Act authorizes HUD to 
carry out a demonstration program for insuring mortgages on the homes 
of elderly homeowners, enabling the homeowners to convert the equity in 
their homes into cash. Section 255 authorizes HUD to insure up to 
25,000 mortgages under this demonstration program until September 30, 
1995. The regulation will make technical and programmatic changes to 
improve the efficiency of the program. The regulation will also explain 
the statutory disclosure requirements added by section 334 of the 1990 
National Affordable Housing Act.
The Direct Endorsement Program permits lenders to process, underwrite 
and close mortgage loans without prior approval from HUD. Home Equity 
Conversion Mortgages (HECM) are currently not eligible for Direct 
Endorsement processing. However, the Department now believes that 
lenders have gained considerable experience with the HECM program and 
that lenders could now process, underwrite and close these mortgages 
under Direct Endorsement.

Regulatory Plan entry: Undetermined

Legal Authority:  42 USC 3535(d); 12 USC 1715(b)

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 203

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule would permit the mortgagee and the mortgagor to 
enter into a special forbearance agreement requiring the payment of 
arrearages before maturity of the mortgage without obtaining the prior 
approval of HUD. It would also eliminate the present gap in 
reimbursement of debenture interest which occurs if the mortgagor files 
a petition in bankruptcy after entering into a special forbearance 
agreement. The reason for this rule change is to encourage mortgagors 
to make greater use of the special forbearance procedures when the 
mortgagor is temporarily unable to make full regular mortgage payments.

Significance:
Regulatory Plan entry: Undetermined

Legal Authority:  42 USC 3535(d); 12 USC 1715(b)

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 204

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule would terminate the section 244 Single-Family 
Coinsurance Program. The program is neither cost effective for the 
Department to continue, nor will its termination result in reduction of 
avenues to mortgage credit for first-time and low- and moderate-income 
homebuyers. Its elimination would free up staff resources for more 
productive tasks without adversely affecting the homebuying clientele 
the Department is mandated to serve.
The Department endorses approximately 150 coinsured single-family 
mortgages per month. The combined volume for FYs 1990, 1991, and the 
first five months of 1992 was only about 4300 loans nationwide with the 
bulk coming from one lender doing business in Illinois. The remainder 
of coinsured loans (less than 40% of total coinsurance volume from four 
additional lenders) were from New York and Texas.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 8(c)(2)(B) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 
permits HUD to adjust contract rents covering Section 8 assisted units 
to reflect increases in certain specified costs of owning and 
maintaining. Section 542 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable 
Housing Act amended Section 8 (c)(2) to provide the Secretary with the 
authority (subject to the availability of appropriations) to provide 
for rent adjustments where a project's operating, maintenance, and 
capital repair expenses have been substantially increased primarily as 
a result of the prevalence of drug-related activity. This section 
limits the rent adjustments to a level no greater than 120% of the 
project rents, to cover the costs of maintenance, security, capital 
repairs and reserves required for the owner to carry out a strategy 
acceptable to the Secretary for addressing the problem of drug-related 
criminal activity.
This proposed rule would implement the provisions of Section 542.

Legal Authority:  42 USC 3535(d)

Abstract: HUD solicited public comments on certain changes to the 
structure of the monitoring program used to enforce the manufactured 
housing construction and safety standards required by Manufactured 
Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. HUD proposed 
alternative regulatory structures which would change the current third 
party design and inspection program and system of monitoring and 
enforcement. These alternative monitoring procedures will provide a 
more efficient and effective regulatory enforcement program which will 
assure protection of the consumers, while lessening the burden on the 
manufactured housing industry. The final rule will propose revisions.

Significance:

Legal Authority:  12 USC 1710

CFR Citation:  Not yet determined

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 1064 of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance 
Amendments Act of 1988 authorizes HUD to add pre-foreclosure sales to 
its roster of servicing options, as a means of saving the Department 
money and of assisting qualified mortgagors to avoid foreclosure of 
their FHA-insured mortgages. The Department is now able to pay a claim 
to a mortgagee to ``bridge the gap'' between the proceeds of a sale of 
the property to a third party buyer at current fair market value, and 
the original owner's indebtedness under the note. Until the Department 
received the authorization to pay these claims, such pre-foreclosure 
sales (or ``short sales,'' as they are also known) were impracticable. 
At this time, a six to twelve month demonstration of pre-foreclosure 
sales is being conducted in five local HUD offices; subsequently, full 
implementing regulations will be issued to introduce the pre-
foreclosure sale option throughout the Department.

1993. Section 903 of the 1992 HCD Act requires that the collection of 
employee income information, and wage and claim information, be made in 
accordance with the Privacy Act, and that the consent to release such 
information be limited with respect to time, and only cover information 
relevant and necessary to meet the requirements of section 904. Section 
3003 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act allows HUD to use income 
return data, pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code and income from the

Abstract: Currently, section 203.402(g) authorizes mortgagees to be 
reimbursed 100% for all allowable expenses made for preservation and 
protection of properties until conveyance to HUD. There is little 
incentive for mortgagees to keep costs down. HUD has experienced 
problems with mortgagees exceeding established limits without approval 
and submitting claims for inappropriate expenditures. Placing a two-
thirds cap on reimbursements will provide a financial incentive for the 
mortgagees to cooperate in reducing expenses. 24 CFR 203.402(g) would 
be changed to reflect a two-thirds reimbursement limitation.
Tighter internal controls within a mortgagee's own operation ideally 
would improve due to the sharing of expenses and this would decrease 
demands on HUD's insurance funds.

TITLE INSURANCE POLICY (FR-3224)

Significance:
Regulatory Plan entry: Undetermined

Legal Authority:  42 USC 3535(d)

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 207

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Current regulations require a mortgagee to furnish a survey 
and a policy of title insurance or its equivalent as a prerequisite to 
the closing of an insured multifamily housing loan. If a mortgagee 
subsequently chooses to exercise its right to assign a mortgage to HUD, 
it must submit an owner's title policy in favor of HUD that is 
effective on the date that the project is conveyed to the Secretary. 
This rule would amend HUD regulations deleting the phrase ``it will 
become an owner's policy running to the mortgagee or the Secretary as 
the case may be,'' and substituting ``it will continue to provide the 
same coverage as the original policy, and will run to the mortgagee or 
the Secretary, as the case may be.'' This will allow HUD to decide on a 
case-by-case basis to either purchase an owner's policy at its own 
expense, or self-insure the time period between assignment and 
foreclosure.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 223(a)(7) of the National Housing Act authorizes the 
Department to insure mortgages given to refinance existing HUD-insured 
mortgages under the Act. Current regulations provide that refinanced 
loans may not exceed 90% of the Federal Housing Commissioner's estimate 
of value. This limitation has prevented some insured projects that have 
sufficient net income to cover the new debt service from refinancing at 
lower rates and improving their financial condition. Because refinanced 
loans are already limited by statute, deletion of the 90 percent-of-
value criterion would help to prevent defaults and claims against the 
Department's Insurance Funds.

available to public for sale for 30 days. In such cases, no more than 
10% of eligible properties will be made available to general public 
first. This rule sets criteria for determining such areas. This rule 
also require HUD to inform, upon request, lessees or applicants for 
eligible properties of any exemptions or reductions of property taxes 
when properties are leased for use by homeless.

PROCEDURE (FR-3598)

Significance:
Subject to OMB review: Yes
Regulatory Plan entry: Undetermined

Legal Authority:  42 USC 1437f

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 882

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule would revise the mathematical ``rounding'' 
procedure used in Section 8 Rent adjustments. The current procedure 
requires rounding the adjusted monthly rent to the next higher whole 
dollar for all rents that contain fractional dollar amounts, regardless 
of the fractional dollar amount. The revised mathematical round 
procedure would require adjusted monthly rents with fractional dollar 
amounts of .01 to .05 to be rounded to the next lower dollar amount. 
Adjusted monthly rents with fractional dollar amounts of .51 to .99 
would be rounded to the next higher dollar amount. This ``rounding'' 
procedure is consistent with generally acceptable mathematical and 
statistical practices, would more accurately reflect the actual rent 
adjustment, and would result in significant savings for HUD.

Abstract: This proposed rule would amend the regulations governing the 
CDBG grant program to require compliance with the structural 
accessibility standards promulgated under the Architectural Barriers 
Act of 1966 (ABA). The proposed rule, through amendments to 24 CFR 
parts 570 and 571 (the CDBG regulations), would provide that any 
building or facility designed, constructed or altered with grants made 
available under the CDBG Program, and which meets the ABA's definition 
of ``building'' is subject to the requirements of the ABA. The 
requirements of the ABA would apply to entitlement grants and 
nonentitlement grants under the CDBG Program, the Indian CDBG Program, 
and to the section 108 Loan Guarantee Program. The purpose of the rule 
is to bring the CDBG Program into compliance with the requirements of 
the ABA.

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 570.200; 24 CFR 570.203

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 804 of the 1992 Act authorizes HUD to exempt from 
program rules any income that is so small that HUD determines it would 
not be worth the administrative costs of assuring compliance. HUD will 
propose rules and get comments before establishing the amount of income 
for this purpose.
Section 806(e) of the 1992 Act allows grantees to assume that a person 
is low/moderate income for certain purposes if the person resides in a 
census tract that meets the Federal Enterprise Zone criteria. HUD will 
publish proposed criteria and get comments before establishing the 
criteria that will be used for this purpose.
Section 807(a) establishes a new eligibility category for the funding 
of certain services needed to carry out housing activities that are 
eligible under the CDBG or HOME programs. This provision also states 
that such costs are to be subject to any ceilings established by law on 
administrative expenses. Since many of these costs have, by regulation, 
been deemed for years to be eligible under the CDBG program without 
this new provision and are not subject to the statutory cap on CDBG

Additional Information: ABSTRACT CONT: administrative costs, HUD must 
propose rules by which this seeming inconsistency is resolved. (HUD 
also intends to pursue statutory change or clarification in this 
matter, so such action may overtake this proposed rulemaking.)
Section 807(a) also makes eligible the use of CDBG funds to pay 
operating expenses necessary to maintain the habitability of certain 
housing units that have been acquired through tax foreclosure. HUD 
intends to propose rules that will govern which expenses and which 
housing units may be assisted under this authority.
Section 807(a) further makes eligible the use of CDBG funds to provide 
assistance to public and private organizations, agencies, and other 
entities to enable them to facilitate economic development providing 
credit for the establishment and expansion of microenterprises. It also 
makes eligible the use of CDBG funds by such entities for the provision 
of technical assistance and other general support services to owners of 
microenterprises and persons developing such enterprises.

1647. CORRECTION OF HEALTH AND SAFETY VIOLATIONS IN REHABILITATED 
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES ASSISTED WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT 
FUNDS (FR-2874)

Significance:
Subject to OMB review: Undetermined
Regulatory Plan entry: Undetermined

Legal Authority:  PL 100-242, Sec 101; 42 USC 5300 to 5320

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 570.202

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: A recent IG audit finding involving a sample of CDBG grantees 
revealed that general improvements were being undertaken in CDBG-
assisted rehabilitation properties while leaving health and safety 
violations uncorrected. As a result of this finding, CDBG regulations 
need to be amended to incorporate a provision that would require the 
correction of all health and safety violations in CDBG-assisted 
rehabilitated properties before any general improvements to these 
properties can be undertaken. The proposed rule will also include an 
exception that will allow properties with uncorrected health and safety 
violations to still take part in rehabilitation programs that grantees 
have established to expressly address significant community housing 
needs, such as energy conservation through weatherization programs and 
improving the exterior appearance of deteriorating buildings through 
painting programs. Moreover, the proposed rule will make clear that 
grantees will still have the flexibility to continue to provide funding 
for the general improvement of properties that are free and clear of 
health and safety violations.

Significance:

Legal Authority:  42 USC 3601

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 151

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Department intends to publish an Advance Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking with several suggestions on defining the term 
``area of minority concentration'' (AMC). Through work of a 
Departmental Task Force on this subject, the Department has identified 
a numerical formula as one way to define the term. However, the 
Department wants to solicit additional views from the public. The 
advance rulemaking approach will provide an opportunity to the public 
to express their views on how the term should be defined. The 
Department intends to publish a proposed rule defining the term and 
will indicate that this definition will be applicable for all of its 
housing and community development programs. Additionally, the 
Department intends to coordinate the development of the AMC proposed 
rule with the development of a final rule regarding affirmatively 
furthering fair housing.

Legal Authority:  42 USC 5301

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 100

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Statutory, April 28, 1993.

Abstract: Section 919 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 
1992 instructs the Secretary to make rules defining what are 
``significant facilities and services specifically designed to meet the 
physical or social needs of older persons.'' (The statutorily required 
definition is for purposes of Fair Housing Law enforcement. The quoted 
term is central to determinations, in Fair Housing complaints, whether 
a particular housing facility constitutes ``housing for older persons'' 
and is therefore exempt from the law's prohibitions against 
discrimination based on familial status.) The Department is preparing 
to publish a proposed rule to implement section 919.

Abstract: On September 11, 1993, the President issued Executive Order 
12861 that requires each Executive Department to eliminate not less 
than 50 percent of internal management regulations that are not 
required by law within three years of the effective date of the Order. 
24 CFR Part 2000 is an internal management regulation of the type 
referenced in the Order. The Inspector General has determined that 24 
CFR Part 2000 is not required by law and in large part duplicates the 
provisions of the Inspector General Act or of various published 
delegation of authority that remain in force. Accordingly, this final 
rule eliminates Part 2000 and amends Parts 2002 and 2003 to the extent 
that those parts contain references to Part 2000.

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 200; 24 CFR 905; 24 CFR 968

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Public housing agencies and Indian housing authorities (HAs) 
are subject to the Previous Participation Review and Clearance 
Procedures at 24 CFR 200, Subpart H. Under this procedure, HA 
contractors and other principals are required to submit a certification 
and disclosure statement regarding their past participation in HUD 
programs. The Department reviews all available information to determine 
if the principal is responsible and either approves or disapproves the 
principal's participation. This determination of responsibility by HUD 
is in addition to the determination of responsibility that a HA is 
required to make under the Department's procurement regulations at 24 
CFR 85.36.
HAs and interest groups frequently cite delays in obtaining approval 
under the Previous Participation Approval process as being one of the 
reasons having an adverse effect on their ability to obligate 
development and modernization funds in a timely manner. HUD has 
determine that only a limited number of HA principals are found to be 
unacceptable during any given year.

Abstract: This rule established the Public Housing Management 
Assessment Program (PHMAP) in accordance with Section 502 of the 
National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (approved Nov. 28, 1990, PL 
101-625, 104 Stat. 4079). Section 502 requires HUD to assess the 
management performance of Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) in all major 
areas of management operations and designation of troubled and mod-
troubled PHAs. PHMAP uses a maximum of 12 indicators, including seven 
specifically mandated by the statute and five other indicators deemed 
appropriate by HUD. A PHA designated troubled or mod-troubled is 
required to enter into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with HUD that 
sets forth targets, strategies, incentives and sanctions for approving 
its management performance. In the event of a substantial default on an 
agreement, HUD may petition the appropriate State or Federal court of 
venue for the appointment of a receiver or make other management 
changes for the troubled PHA. HUD is also authorized to commend 
exemplary PHAs.
PHMAP is intended to foster a uniform, nationwide level of excellence 
in public housing.

Abstract: This rule will implement section 122(a) of the Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1992 by exempting Assisted Housing for 
Indian and Alaskan Natives for the requirements of section 6(h) of the 
United States Housing Act, which required housing agencies to develop 
housing by the new construction method only if acquisition or 
acquisition with rehabilitation could be demonstrated to be more 
costly. Since section 905.210 also contains the preference for 
construction for large families which no longer is required by statute, 
the entire section is being removed.
This rule would also implement section 122(c) of the Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1992, which amends section 203 (b) of the 
1937 Act. Section 122(c) requires the Secretary to make an annual 
payment from operating subsidy funding to municipalities that provide 
roads, water supply and sewage facilities and electrical and fuel 
distribution systems to Indian housing rental projects in an amount for 
each rental housing unit equal to (1) 10% of the applicable shelter 
rent minus the utility allowance or (2) $150, whichever is greater.

rule also provides that HUD, in allocating assistance for public 
housing acquisition or development or for Section 8 certificates, give 
consideration to providing housing that replaces demolished public 
housing units in accordance with an approved replacement plan. PHAs are 
prohibited from taking any action to demolish or dispose of public 
housing projects without obtaining HUD's approval and satisfying 
pertinent statutory requirements. The 1992 Authorization Act contains 
several new provisions that will be incorporated into the final rule.
