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 an 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: Camille E. Acevedo, Assistant General 
Counsel for Regulations, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 
Room 10276, 451 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20410, (202) 708-
2084. (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 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 and Financial 
Services) 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.

    For this edition of HUD's regulatory agenda, the most important 
significant regulatory actions are included in The Regulatory Plan, 
which appears in Part II of this issue of the Federal Register. The 
Regulatory Plan entries are listed in the Table of Contents below 
and are denoted by a bracketed bold reference, which directs the 
reader to the appropriate Sequence Number in Part II.

Legal Authority:  5 USC 552; 5 USC 553; 42 USC 3535(d)

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 10

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule would amend 24 CFR part 10, HUD's ``rules on 
rules,'' to make possible the more timely implementation of new and 
changed policies of the Department in circumstances where notice and 
comment rulemaking is not required by law. The purposes of this rule 
are: to provide greater flexibility to the Department in implementing 
statutory and other changes to its program authorities; to avoid 
unnecessary rulemaking procedures; and to assure the more prompt 
delivery of program benefits provided for in new and amended statutes.

Legal Authority:  42 USC 4321; PL 95-557

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 50

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule streamlines existing regulations and 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 part 50; (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 part 50; and (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 would assure policy consistency for all HUD programs.

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 10.3; 24 CFR 966.51; 24 CFR 966.4

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: HUD proposes to amend its regulations on eviction from public 
or Indian housing. If HUD determines that local law requires a pre-
eviction due-process hearing in court (known as a ``due process 
determination''), a tenant is not entitled to a hearing by the housing 
authority before eviction for drug-related or other criminal activity. 
This proposed rule would provide that HUD is not required to use 
notice-and-comment rulemaking procedures for issuance of a due process 
determination.

Abstract: This rule revises certain provisions in HUD's regulations 
covering the allocation of Flexible Subsidy assistance and Loan 
Management Set-Aside Section 8 assistance to certain projects assisted 
by HUD or whose mortgages are insured or held by HUD. Instead of 
awarding those funds competitively through the Notice of Funding 
Availability (NOFA) process, HUD will allocate those funds at its own 
discretion through Comprehensive Needs Assessments (CNA). The CNA 
approach will provide HUD with the flexibility to target limited 
resources to those projects most in need of repair.

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 for deferred 
periodic payments of supplemental security income and Social Security 
benefits that are received in a lump sum and of several HUD 
discretionary income exclusions.
This regulation implements Section 103(a) of the HCD Act of 1992 (HUD 
Discretionary Income Exclusions).

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing on 
the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or 
national origin. Such discrimination can include policies and practices 
such as restrictive occupancy standards that, in effect, work to 
exclude certain protected groups from otherwise acceptable housing. 
However, the Fair Housing Act states that nothing in the Act prohibits 
``reasonable'' Federal, State, or local codes regulating maximum 
occupancy of dwellings. Housing industry officials, both public and 
private, have urged HUD to establish rules governing occupancy 
standards in order to provide guidance on what constitutes a 
reasonable, nondiscriminatory standard to limit occupancy. This rule 
would establish permissible policies and standards regarding the 
maximum number of persons who can occupy dwellings under the Fair 
Housing Act.

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 203; 24 CFR 221

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule would provide many benefits to the mortgage lenders 
that would reduce their servicing costs and the confusion generated by 
adjustments to the annual mortgage insurance premium (MIP) on cases not 
endorsed within the first 6 months after amortization. The rule would 
change the method of payment and the reconciliation schedule, and 
clarify the due date. The changes would result in an increase in MIP 
income, thereby strengthening the Federal Housing Administration 
insurance fund. Also, it would cut down on the costly reconciliation 
now done by HUD.
Specifically, this rule would provide that the FHA Commissioner can 
accrue MIP from the beginning of amortization of all Section 530 (of 
the National Housing Act) loans and risk-based loans, no matter what 
time frame exists between the endorsement date and the beginning of 
amortization. It would also amend the existing regulation by requiring 
that mortgagees pay the monthly installments as due on the 1st and 
payable on or before the 10th of the month, whether or not collected 
from the mortgagor. A new system is being developed which would produce 
a monthly notice of premiums due, and the reconciliation would be made 
monthly by the lender when the premium is paid. There would be no 
requirement for annual reconciliation.

(FHA's) reinvention efforts and is critical to our intensified focus on 
customer service. The hospital risk-sharing initiative is one component 
of a comprehensive risk-sharing strategy for all FHA program types to 
assure that FHA has a method of reducing its exposure and strengthening 
its financial and actuarial positions.

Abstract: This rule presents for public comment alternative resolutions 
to the issue of disclosure of certain fees earned by mortgage brokers 
(or ``retail lenders''), specifically addressing whether there is a 
need for disclosure of such fees. Addressing the need for disclosure is 
largely related to how HUD construes secondary market transactions. The 
rule is being considered for final development through the negotiated 
rulemaking process.

Government effort. It will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or 
duplication, or streamline requirements.

Legal Authority:  12 USC 1703

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 201

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule amends 24 CFR part 201 to implement several changes 
to HUD's title I manufactured-home and property-improvement loan 
programs. The changes are directed to expand the availability and use 
of both programs, and to provide affordable homeownership. For the 
manufactured-home loan program, the changes involve reducing the 
minimum downpayment required on all manufactured- home-purchase loans, 
lot loans, and combination loans from the present level to 5 percent of 
the purchase price; adding appraisal fees and recording fees and taxes 
to the list of fees and charges that may be financed in the loan; 
modifying the allowable expense-to-income ratios to reflect the 
increased cost of complying with HUD's new energy standards for 
manufactured homes; and increasing the maximum allowances for certain 
foreclosure and repossession expenses. For the property-improvement 
loan program, the changes involve eliminating the requirement for 
equity at least equal to the loan amount on all loans over $15,000; 
increasing the maximum amount of an unsecured property improvement loan 
from $5,000 to $7,500; permitting the use of manufactured home 
improvement loans for site improvements under certain circumstances; 
and adding recording fees and taxes to the list of fees and charges 
that may be financed in the loan.

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

Abstract: This rule will add provisions to the regulations governing 
Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insurance on condominium 
units to permit insurance of mortgages on individual units in 
condominium projects that have not received FHA approval in advance 
under existing regulatory requirements. These ``spot loans'' would be 
approved under less stringent requirements than the existing 
requirements for mortgage insurance for condominiums, but the revised 
rule would require satisfaction of standards that would assure FHA 
adequate protection of the reduced risk involved of mortgage insurance 
on only a few loans in any particular project.

Abstract: This rule amends the regulations for refinancing mortgages 
under section 235(r) of the National Housing Act. Since the enactment 
of this program in 1988, mortgagees have not expressed an interest in 
participating in this program. Therefore, HUD seeks to enhance the 
program by providing for the payment by HUD, rather than by the 
mortgagee, of the incentive to the mortgagors and of specific 
refinancing costs, and by limiting the origination of these loans to 
the number of approved mortgagees that would make the program most 
attractive. This rule also eliminates obsolete regulations within 24 
CFR part 235.

Abstract: HUD is amending its multifamily coinsurance regulations to

Abstract: This rule sets forth HUD's policies and procedures for the

large portion of its single-family mortgages to reduce losses to the 
FHA fund, decrease its inventory of single-family mortgages, and 
improve the services of these mortgages. The Department intends to sell 
both performing and nonperforming mortgages. In addition, all single-
family mortgages would be sold without recourse and without FHA 
insurance. This rule also asks for public input in streamlining the 
regulations for the sale of HUD- held mortgages.

Legal Authority:  12 USC 2601

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: On November 2, 1992, the Department published a final rule 
amending the regulations on the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act 
(RESPA) to address new statutory provisions. Included in the 1992 rule 
were provisions that allowed employer-employee payments for referrals 
of customers to entities that provided settlement services, and in 
certain situations, might have encouraged steering through the use of 
computer loan origination (CLO) operations. Serious objections have 
been raised to both provisions. As a result, the Department has 
reviewed these provisions in the 1992 rule and has proposed 
modifications on both referral fees and CLOs. The two issues will be 
addressed in separate final rules, the first of which is expected to 
concern referral fees/controlled business arrangements.

eligible under the CDBG or HOME programs. HUD will propose rules that 
will govern which specific activities may be assisted under this 
authority.
Section 807(a) of the 1992 Act 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 publish a proposed rule that will govern 
which expenses and which housing units may be assisted under this 
authority. In addition this proposed rule will make several technical 
amendments to 570.201, 570.202, and 570.200.

Abstract: This rule revises standards for approval of sites for HUD- 
assisted rental housing to assure that they promote housing choice and 
avoid locations that foster racial, ethnic, and economic segregation. 
It extends the applicability of such standards to the Community 
Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs, and broadens the standards 
applied to the HOME program to include review for poverty 
concentration. The standards, as revised, generally will be applied not 
by HUD but by the local or State government or the Public Housing 
Agency.
The rule places these standards in a new part 150 in the chapter 
administered by the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity. The existing rules with provisions concerning site and 
neighborhood standards (public housing, Section 8, Section 202 and HOME 
programs) are proposed to be amended, as are the rules governing the 
program that is not currently covered by such requirements but that is 
to be covered under the new policy (CDBG).

Abstract: Section 810 of the Fair Housing Act provides that the 
Secretary shall refer complaints alleging a discriminatory housing 
practice to local public agencies the Secretary has certified. 
Currently, 24 CFR part 115 sets forth the criteria under which the 
Secretary will certify such State and local agencies. HUD's regulations 
at 24 CFR part 111 establish the requirements for the Fair Housing 
Assistance Program, through which HUD provides assistance to fair 
housing enforcement agencies. This rule proposes to consolidate parts 
111 and 115, thus providing all necessary requirements in a single part 
and eliminating unnecessary or repetitive regulatory provisions.

revisions to the CDWSP so that it can more effectively and efficiently 
meet its program objectives.

Abstract: This rule would revise the current regulations in 24 CFR part 
882 on adjusting Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation contract rents. The 
rule would modify the method used by housing agencies (HAs) to 
determine the amount of the annual increase in the contract rents by 
providing for HAs to conduct comparability studies for moderate 
rehabilitation projects, to prevent the application of the Annual 
Adjustment Factors from resulting in a material difference between 
rents charged for assisted units and similar unassisted units. The rule 
also would provide for special rent adjustments to cover the costs 
required for an owner to address the problems of drug-related criminal 
activity (subject to the availability of appropriations), and for 
special adjustments when an exemption from real property tax expires 
under certain circumstances, if appropriations are available. The rule 
also would add insurance to the categories of cost increases that may 
result in a special adjustment.
