Semiannual Agenda of Regulations

AGENCY: Department of Housing and Urban Development.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 4(b) of Executive Order 12866 
``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' the Department is publishing its 
agenda of regulations already issued or expected to be issued and of 
currently effective rules that are under review. Also, in accordance 
with section 602 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Department's 
agenda of regulations indicates which regulations 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,'' issued by President Clinton on September 30, 1993, and 
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 codification 
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 regulatory 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 regulatory 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.

    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; 
Office of Administration; and Office of Policy Development and 
Research.

    This agenda will reflect that several rules have been withdrawn 
by the Department. Consistent with the principles set forth in 
Executive Order 12866 to reduce and streamline regulations and in 
response to President Clinton's memorandum to Federal agencies to 
examine all regulations and to eliminate those that are obsolete, 
the Department is not only examining its existing regulations but 
those rules proposed to be issued. On further examination, the 
Department may determine that certain rules listed as withdrawn 
under this agenda are necessary, and if that determination is made, 
the rules will be included in the next semiannual agenda. Some of 
the rules withdrawn under this agenda may include interim rules. 
During the period of examination, the Department will decide 
whether to proceed with final rulemaking based on the interim rule 
or to issue a final rule withdrawing the interim rule.

    The Department invites all interested members of the public to 
comment on the rules listed in this agenda to assist the Department 
in improving its regulatory products and procedures.

Dated: March 15, 1996.

Dwight P. Robinson,

Deputy Secretary.

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.

890; 24 CFR 941; 24 CFR 970; 24 CFR 983

Legal Deadline: None

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).

1214. LEAD-BASED PAINT POISONING PREVENTION IN CERTAIN RESIDENTIAL 
STRUCTURES (FR-3482)

Priority:  Economically Significant

Reinventing Government: This rulemaking is part of the Reinventing 
Government effort. It will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or 
duplication, or streamline requirements.

Legal Authority:  42 USC 4822; 42 USC 3535(d)

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 36; 24 CFR 37

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, January 1, 1995.

Abstract: The Office of Lead-Based Paint Abatement and Poisoning 
Prevention was established by Congress within the Office of the 
Secretary of HUD. The Office provides overall direction to HUD's lead-
based paint activities.
Currently, part 35 of HUD's regulations addresses the Department's 
requirements on lead hazards in housing. The Residential Lead-Based 
Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, which is title X of the Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1992, requires substantial revisions to 
HUD's current regulations for the evaluation and control of lead-based 
paint hazards in federally assisted and federally owned housing. The 
legislation evidences a concern with developing a national strategy to 
build the infrastructure necessary to eliminate lead-based paint 
hazards in all nonelderly, pre-1978 housing. Because of the scope of 
the problem, the strategy will be implemented on a priority basis, and 
is to be based in part on guidelines issued by the Secretary on August 
25, 1995, on the conduct of federally supported work involving risk 
assessments, inspections, interim control, and abatement of lead-based 
paint hazards (``Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-
Based Paint Hazards in Housing''). The revisions required by title X 
will affect HUD's housing programs and the housing programs of other 
Federal agencies.
HUD is consolidating, in new parts 36 and 37 of title 24 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations, the multitude of lead-based paint regulations 
found throughout HUD programs and will make them consistent, creating a 
single point of reference for the Department's lead-based paint 
requirements.

Priority:  Economically Significant

Reinventing Government: This rulemaking is part of the Reinventing 
Government effort. It will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or 
duplication, or streamline requirements.

Legal Authority:  42 USC 12721

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 92

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Title II of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 
established the HOME Investment Partnership Program. This program is 
intended to expand the supply of decent, safe and sanitary affordable 
housing. Under the HOME Program, the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development (HUD) provides formula allocations to participating States 
and units of local government to be used for specified eligible housing 
activities in accordance with the jurisdiction's approved housing plan. 
A portion of each allocation must be invested in housing that is 
developed, owned, or sponsored by community housing development 
organizations. HUD provides technical assistance to develop the 
capacity of participating jurisdictions and has developed model 
programs designed to assist participating jurisdictions in carrying out 
their programs.
HUD published an interim rule implementing the HOME Program in December 
1991. HUD has since published several additional interim rules and a 
proposed rule. These rules were developed to implement statutory 
changes and to make changes in response to public comments that were 
solicited as each rule was published, to HUD's experience in 
administering the program, and to the input of program participants at 
numerous training sessions across the country. The changes simplify 
State and local operation of the HOME Program and make it more 
compatible with other Federal housing programs.
This final rule will merge the initial interim rule, the subsequent 
interim rules, and the proposed rule into a single, streamlined HOME 
Program rule. Wherever possible, text that only repeats statutory 
language and that is only advisory, rather than exclusive and legally 
binding, will be removed.

1220. COMBINED INCOME AND RENT REGULATIONS (FR-3324)

Priority:  Other Significant

Reinventing Government: This rulemaking is part of the Reinventing 
Government effort. It will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or 
duplication, or streamline requirements.

Legal Authority:  42 USC 3535d

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 implements an exclusion for deferred periodic payments 
of supplemental security income and Social Security benefits as 
prescribed by Section 103(a) of the HCD Act of 1992. It also implements 
several HUD discretionary income exclusions.

1221. CONSOLIDATION OF NONDISCRIMINATION REQUIREMENTS (FR-3935)

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Reinventing Government: This rulemaking is part of the Reinventing 
Government effort. It will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or 
duplication, or streamline requirements.

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 882.109; 24 CFR 960; 24 CFR 100

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.

882; 24 CFR 883; 24 CFR 884; 24 CFR 886; 24 CFR 887

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 214 of the 1980 HCD Act prohibits HUD from making 
financial assistance available to persons other than United States 
citizens, nationals, or certain categories of eligible noncitizens in 
HUD's Public Housing and Indian Housing programs (including 
homeownership), the Section 8 housing assistance payments program, the 
Housing Development Grants program, the Section 236 interest reduction 
and rental assistance programs, the Rent Supplement program, and the 
Section 235 homeownership program. HUD's March 20, 1995 final rule 
promulgated virtually identical ``noncitizen'' regulations for the HUD 
programs covered by Section 214. This final rule eliminates the 
redundancy and repetitiveness of these duplicative regulations and 
consolidates and streamlines the noncitizens requirements and relocates 
them to a single location in 24 CFR part 5.

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.

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  12 USC 1709; 42 USC 3535(d); 12 USC 1715b; 12 USC 
1715l

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.

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.

the CFR to reduce burden or duplication, or streamline requirements.

Legal Authority:  12 USC 1715b; 12 USC 1715z to 9; 42 USC 3535(d)

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 251; 24 CFR 255

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: HUD is amending its multifamily coinsurance regulations to 
provide coinsuring lenders with two new options in dealing with 
defaulted coinsured mortgages. Specifically, this interim rule permits 
coinsuring lender-issuers to request that HUD endorse certain defaulted 
mortgages for full insurance, without a GNMA takeover of the lender-
issuer's entire portfolio. Additionally, this interim rule allows 
coinsuring lenders to advance funds to cure mortgage delinquencies on a 
coinsured mortgage and to reduce principal on that mortgage to a level 
that restores the financial viability of the project.

Abstract: This rule will set forth HUD's policies and procedures with 
regard to the servicing of FHA-insured single family mortgages in the 
context of loss mitigation and foreclosure avoidance. Lenders will have 
an expanded menu of foreclosure avoidance and loss mitigation tools 
from which to choose the most appropriate in addressing each mortgagor 
in default. Among these would be special forbearances, loan 
modifications, pre-foreclosure sales, streamline refinancing, partial 
claims, and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure. The Department's interest is 
to encourage lenders to acclimate themselves to the use of these 
various methods, and HUD will pay incentives to mortgagees for the 
appropriate use of these loss mitigation and foreclosure avoidance 
techniques.

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.

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 issued 
a proposed rule that reviews these provisions.

risk associated with monetary losses that may result from loan 
defaults. By eliminating unnecessary language from part 266, this rule

Abstract: As part of HUD's overall effort to reduce regulatory burden

Regulations, this rule will remove redundant and unnecessary provisions 
from parts 1700, 1710, 1715, and 1720, including provisions that are 
obsolete, repetitious, or contain advisory material. One related part, 
part 1730, has already been eliminated from title 24 by an earlier 
reinvention rule. To the extent feasible, practice and procedures rules 
will be consolidated with similar provisions applicable to other 
programs in HUD. The rule will not affect substantive requirements or 
rights contained in those parts.

Abstract: This rule proposes revisions to HUD's regulations governing 
the imposition of administrative sanctions in the CDBG program for 
entitlement grantees. The rule would establish clear standards for 
determining what constitutes substantial noncompliance entitling 
grantees to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. In addition, 
this rule would clarify certain regulations on CDBG performance 
standards and HUD's review procedures. A previous proposed rule for 
CDBG Sanctions was published in the Federal Register on November 12, 
1993. While the final rulemaking for that proposal was in departmental 
clearance, HUD decided to substantially revise the informal hearing 
procedures. Therefore, HUD decided to publish another proposed rule and 
solicit public comments.

Legal Authority:  42 USC 3535(d); 42 USC 11301

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 586

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Title V of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 
1987, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 11411 (Title V), granted first priority on 
use of all surplus federally owned real and personal property, 
including former military installations, to the homeless. The title V 
provisions have worked reasonably well for small parcels. However, in 
the base closure and realignment environment the processes for reuse 
planning and homeless use were independent and the timing incompatible. 
On October 25, 1994, the President signed the Base Closure Community 
Redevelopment and Homeless Assistance Act of 1994 (the Redevelopment 
Act), which exempts base closure and realignment property from title V 
and substitutes a new community-based process wherein representatives 
of the homeless will work directly with Local Redevelopment Authorities 
(LRAs) on the reuse of former military installations.
HUD's interim rule, published on August 17, 1995, was jointly developed 
with the Department of Defense (DoD) and, together with DoD's rule 
published on July 20, 1994, will govern DoD's and HUD's role in 
implementing the Redevelopment Act. Through these rules, HUD and DoD 
have developed a flexible process which aims to balance the needs of 
the homeless with other development interests in the community in the 
vicinity of the installation.

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

[[Page 23069]]

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.

Legal Deadline: None

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.

Abstract: This rule proposes a comprehensive revision of the public 
housing development and acquisition program regulation at 24 CFR 941. 
The purpose of the program redesign is to simplify the public housing 
development process to give housing authorities and localities maximum 
flexibility in developing public housing in their communities. The 
revised procedures will shift responsibilities to public housing 
authorities (PHAs) wherever possible; reduce the number and depth of 
HUD reviews; promote the development of units in mixed-income 
communities; create HUD/PHA/local government partnerships; and in the 
case of ``high performing'' PHAs, eliminate most HUD reviews of 
development activities. HUD anticipates that these changes will reduce 
average development times by 6 to 9 months.

resulting partnership would also be authorized to use a combination of 
public and private financing mechanisms, which may include borrowing 
public housing development funds from the PHA and/or the sale of low-
income housing tax credits, to develop public housing projects. The 
rule includes requirements that must be met by the proposed partnership 
before HUD will approve a mixed-finance proposal and requirements that 
govern the development and operation of a project by the partnership.
