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 (1) regulations already issued or expected to be issued and 
(2) currently effective rules that are under review. Additionally, in 
accordance with section 602 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the 
Department also 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-
3055. (This is not a toll-free number.) A telecommunications device for 
hearing- and speech-impaired individuals (TTY) is available at 1-800-
877-8339 (Federal Information Relay Service).

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 (1) regulations that the 
agency has issued or expects to issue and (2) currently effective 
regulations that are under agency review. 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 eliminate those that 
are obsolete, the Department continues to examine those rules proposed 
to be issued under these principles.

    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 that 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 the Regulatory Flexibility Act each 
permits incorporation of the agenda required with any other 
prescribed agenda. The agenda set out below combines the 
information required by Executive Order 12866 and 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.

    Section 610(c) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act requires each 
agency to publish annually a list of the rules that have a 
significant economic impact upon a substantial number of small 
entities and that are to be reviewed in accordance with section 610 
during the succeeding 12 months. All rules under development, 
published in each HUD agenda, are reviewed in accordance with the 
principles of section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. In 
1995 and 1996, all HUD regulations then codified underwent a 
section 610 review when these regulations were examined in 
accordance with President Clinton's regulatory reinvention 
initiative. The Department invites comments from the public on any 
rule listed in this agenda that the public may believe will have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. The Department specifically invites comment on HUD's 
rules pertaining to manufactured housing, lead-based paint hazard 
control, and real estate settlement procedures.

    The Department also is subject to certain rulemaking 
requirements set forth in the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3531 et seq.). 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 of HUD (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 this 
requirement.

    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 focuses on 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 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.

    The agenda reflects that some rules have been withdrawn by the 
Department since issuance of the previous agenda. On further 
examination of the subject matters of these rules, the Department 
may determine that certain rules listed as withdrawn under this 
agenda are necessary, and if that determination is

[[Page 61789]]

made, the rules will be included in a succeeding semiannual agenda.

    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; Office of Inspector General; Office of 
Policy Development and Research; and the Government National 
Mortgage Association.

    For this edition of the Department'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.

    The Department invites all interested members of the public to 
comment on the rules listed in this fall 1998 agenda to assist the 
Department in improving its regulatory products and procedures.

Dated: August 25, 1998.

Gail W. Laster,

General Counsel.

Abstract: The Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act

Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1998; 
Pub. L. 105-65, approved October 27, 1997) (the Act) made several 
amendments to strengthen HUD's enforcement authority. Among other 
amendments, the Act expands the list of persons and types of violations 
subject to a civil money penalty under HUD's multifamily insured 
housing programs. The Act also amends the United States Housing Act of 
1937 (the statutory authority for HUD's public and assisted housing 
programs) to provide for the imposition of civil money penalties for 
noncompliance with section 8 Housing Assistance Payment contracts. In 
accordance with the Act, HUD is implementing these statutory amendments 
through issuance of a proposed rule. The rule would incorporate these 
amendments in HUD's civil money penalty regulations located at 24 CFR 
part 30.

Abstract: In an effort to comply with the President's regulatory reform 
initiatives, HUD proposes streamlining its regulations for 
displacement, relocation assistance, and real property acquisition, by 
consolidating into part 42 similar provisions appearing throughout 
title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations and by eliminating 
provisions that repeat statutory language or are otherwise unnecessary. 
HUD also proposes to include in part 42 technical corrections to 
certain regulations implementing Section 104(d) of Housing and 
Community Act of 1974. Finally, HUD proposes to issue regulations in 
part 42 that would

implement Section 922 of the HCD Act which prohibits lump sum payments 
for relocation compensation.

Abstract: This rulemaking is part of the Reinventing Government effort 
to remove redundancy throughout title 24 of CFR for flood insurance 
requirements as currently cited in the affected HUD program 
regulations. The rule would streamline, consolidate, and codify into a 
single CFR part all the flood insurance and disaster assistance 
requirements described separately in each of the individual HUD program 
regulations of title 24 of the CFR. The flood insurance and disaster 
assistance requirements are general and cross-cutting and applicable to 
all HUD programs that provide financial assistance for buildings 
located within Special Flood Hazard Areas. As presently described in 
each of the affected individual HUD program regulations, the text is 
redundant sometimes outdated or incomplete, uninformative, and less 
than user-friendly.

Abstract: Through a notice published on 12/30/97, HUD sought comments 
from the public regarding a possible future proposed rule on non-
mortgage investments to amend HUD's regulations at 24 CFR part 81 
governing the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and 
Federal National Mortgage Corporation (Fannie Mae) (both are known as 
Government Sponsored Enterprises or GSEs). Under their respective 
Charters, the GSEs have broad authority to invest their funds. At the 
same time, the Secretary has general regulatory power over the GSEs to 
ensure that the purposes of the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial 
Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, the Federal National Mortgage 
Association Charter Act, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation 
Act are accomplished. HUD's current GSE regulations do not contain 
specific provisions concerning non-mortgage investments by the GSEs. 
Based on comments received and its analysis, HUD may issue a proposed 
rule on this subject.

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  12 USC 1701q-1; 12 USC 1703; 12 USC 1708(c) to

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 25; 24 CFR 30

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act 
of 1997 (title V of the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and 
Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1998; 
Pub.L. 105-65, approved October 27, 1997) (Multifamily Housing Reform 
Act) made several amendments to strengthen the enforcement provisions 
of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). Among other 
amendments, the Multifamily Housing Reform Act provides that a 
suspension issued by the HUD Mortgagee Review Board is effective upon 
issuance, if there is sufficient evidence that immediate action is 
required to protect the financial interests of HUD or the public. 
Currently, such a suspension is effective only after HUD's issuance of 
30-day written notice to the mortgagee. The Multifamily Housing Reform 
Act also expanded the list of persons subject to a civil money penalty 
for violations of Federal Housing Administration (FHA) program 
requirements. This rule updates HUD's FHA enforcement regulations at 24 
CFR parts 25 and 30 to incorporate the amendments made by the 
Multifamily Housing Reform Act.

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 55

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: HUD is adopting procedures to implement Executive Order 11990 
``Protection of Wetlands.'' HUD's proposed rule published on January 4, 
1990 (55 FR 396), proposed to implement wetlands procedures, but the 
final rule published on April 21, 1994 (59 FR 19100) only contained 
procedures implementing Executive Order 11988 on Floodplain Management. 
References to the wetlands procedures were removed from the 1994 final 
rule because at that time the Administration was revising Federal 
policy concerning wetlands. This rule will amend part 55 to implement 
the procedures for wetlands protection in accordance with Executive 
Order 11990. The rule would also propose several other changes 
including expanding the number of HUD programs that would be subject to 
the four-step decision-making process for ensuring compliance with part 
55.

Legal Authority:  28 USC 2461; 42 USC 5424; 42 USC 3535(d)

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This notice announces HUD's intention to issue a proposed 
rule to update its procedural and enforcement regulations for the 
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards program (24 CFR 
part 3282). While the current monitoring and enforcement procedures 
work well in most cases, HUD is interested in alternative approaches 
that may better serve the objectives of consumers, the manufactured 
home industry, and HUD. This document requests recommendations from 
interested members of the public on ways HUD may update, streamline, 
and increase the effectiveness of its regulations in 24 CFR part 3282. 
With better enforcement regulations, HUD will ensure that manufacturers 
make homes that comply with the Federal construction and safety 
standards. More effective and efficient regulations will also make 
manufactured housing an attractive source of affordable housing.

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 5403

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 3280

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Department's Manufactured Home Construction and Safety 
Standards include numerous standards adopted by voluntary consensus 
standards bodies, which have been incorporated by reference in 24 CFR 
part 3280. Generally, the voluntary consensus standards bodies update 
their standards on a regular cycle. Before the Department can adopt the 
updates to these consensus standards, however, it is required to permit 
additional public review through notice-and-comment rulemaking. The 
Department intends to propose adoption of many updates to currently 
referenced standards, in order to more adequately meet its 
responsibilities under the Manufactured Housing Program.

Abstract: HUD is proposing to amend the Federal Manufactured Home 
Construction and Safety Standards (FMHCSS) to update many of the 
standards that are incorporated by reference therein. These reference 
standards, which are developed by voluntary consensus or industry 
groups, provide necessary technical standards for the FMHCSS. These 
proposed amendments would keep the FMHCSS current with the industries 
that use these reference standards by incorporating the latest edition 
of these standards and new relevant standards.

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 200; 24 CFR 202; 24 CFR 203; 24 CFR 206

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule implements the Lender Insurance program, which 
reflects the Secretary's new authority to delegate the issuance of 
Mortgage Insurance Certificates (MICs) to mortgagees that are approved 
under the Direct Endorsement program. This rule will provide that 
eligible mortgagees that participate in the Lender Insurance program 
will be responsible for conducting a pre-endorsement review during the 
origination of their single family mortgage loans, and they will be 
responsible for endorsing the mortgages for insurance. HUD intends that 
delegating this insurance authority through the Lender program will be 
consistent with HUD's efforts to reinvent the Federal Housing 
Administration (FHA) by creating a more efficient and less burdensome 
process for providing single family mortgage insurance.

apply to all multifamily mortgagees in their reporting of mortgage 
delinquencies, mortgage defaults, mortgage reinstatements, elections to 
assign mortgages to HUD, and withdrawal of assignment elections.

borrowers in preparing credit applications or otherwise obtaining title 
I property improvement loans from HUD-insured lenders. Property 
improvement loans will still, however, be available directly from

Abstract: This rule proposes to suspend the authority of the HUD

effect whenever authority is available to the Department to guarantee 
additional loans under its Indian Housing Loan Guarantee program 
authorized by section 184 of the Housing and Community Development Act 
of 1992. The rule would suspend a program that has not been effective 
in promoting housing opportunities for Native Americans and permit HUD 
to focus scarce resources on the similar section 184 program, whenever 
authority under that program is available.

1529. RISK-SHARING HOSPITAL MORTGAGE INSURANCE PROGRAM (FR-3914)

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:  12 USC 1715z

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 242

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule implements a program under which the Secretary will 
be authorized to enter into risk-sharing agreements with mortgagees to 
facilitate the financing of hospitals. The concept of risk-sharing is 
one of the underpinnings of the Federal Housing Administration's 
(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.

1530.  SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY AND PERSONS WITH

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 3535(d)

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 891

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This final rule would clarify that local rent control laws 
are preempted for supportive housing projects assisted by HUD with 
capital advances or related rental assistance contracts under section 
202 (projects for the elderly) or section 811 (projects for persons 
with disabilities) programs. HUD's current regulations on rent control 
were adopted when supportive housing for the elderly and persons with 
disabilities were assisted under the old section 202 direct loans 
program. The final rule will reflect that the successor capital grant 
programs serving the same purposes are not subject to local rent 
control.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Department is considering a new exemption under 
Regulation X, its regulation implementing the Real Estate Settlement 
Procedures Act of 1974 (RESPA). The exemption would allow payments by 
an employer to its own bona fide employees for the referral of 
settlement service business to an affiliated settlement service 
provider, provided that the settlement service business that is 
referred is the category of settlement service as provided by the 
employer of the employee making the referral, the employee makes the 
affiliated business arrangement disclosure as provided in 24 CFR 
section 3500.15, and the employee making the referral does not perform 
any other category of settlement service in the same transaction. This 
rule also implements two amendments to RESPA in recent legislation. One 
concerns referrals of settlement service business through 
telemarketing, in writing, or through electronic media. The other 
concerns mortgage servicing sales or transfers.

Abstract: This rule would make a variety of changes and clarifications 
to the regulations for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 
Entitlement program. This rule would, in part, codify statutory changes 
made by section 225 of the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and 
Appropriations Act of 1996 and section 807(a) of the Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1992. This rule would also make further 
changes necessary to conform the CDBG and HOME programs, particularly 
in regard to national objective requirements, and make other changes to 
the national objectives regarding job retention for low- and moderate-
income persons. This rule would further advise grantees and 
subrecipients regarding the need to net all applicable credits from 
costs to be paid with CDBG funds. An Office of Inspector General (OIG) 
audit found that applicable credits have not always been properly 
netted from costs before the costs were paid with CDBG funds. Other 
changes are needed to codify new eligible activities and to make it 
easier for grantees to carryout joint CDBG and HOME activities.

Abstract: This document sets forth the administrative guidelines the 
Office of Community Planning and Development will follow in determining 
on a case-by-case basis, that the amount of assistance being provided 
by HUD for a specific housing project for which other government 
assistance is also being made available, is not more than is necessary 
to make the assisted activity feasible after taking into account the 
other government assistance. HUD is required to make these 
determinations, and to so certify, under section 102(d) of the

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA) of 1995 (Pub. L. 
104-76), signed into law on December 28, 1995, amends the ``55 and 
older housing'' exemption to the Fair Housing Act's (the Act) 
prohibition against discrimination based on familial status. The HOPA 
eliminates the requirement that ``housing for older persons'' have 
significant services and facilities for their residents and establishes 
a good faith reliance defense for monetary damages based on the housing 
provider's legitimate belief that the housing was entitled to an 
exemption. In order to qualify for the ``55 or over housing'' 
exemption, a housing community must be able to meet the following 
criteria: 1) at least 80 percent of the units are occupied by at least 
one person 55 years of age or older per unit; 2) the publication and 
adherence to policies and procedures which demonstrate an intent by the 
owner or manager to provide housing for persons 55 years of age or 
older; and 3) verification of the ages of its residents through 
reliable surveys and affidavits.

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 180

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule finalizes the policies and procedures described in 
HUD's December 18, 1997 proposed rule. Specifically, the final rule 
interprets the Fair Housing Act to clarify that an Administrative Law 
Judge (ALJ) may assess more than one maximum civil penalty against a 
respondent in a given case, where the respondent has committed separate 
and distinct acts of discrimination. The final rule is also part of 
President Clinton's ``Make 'Em Pay'' initiative, which is designed to 
fight housing-related acts of hate violence and intimidation with 
increased enforcement and monetary penalties. The rule describes how 
ALJs apply in determining the amount of a civil penalty to assess 
against a respondent found to have committed a discriminatory housing 
practice.

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

Legal Authority:  42 USC 1437c

CFR Citation:  24 CFR 941

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule finalizes a comprehensive revision of the public 
housing development and acquisition program regulation at 24 CFR 941. 
This rule will respond to comments received on three interim rules. The 
first of those rules redesigned the public housing development process 
to give housing authorities and localities maximum flexibility in 
developing public housing in their communities. The second of those 
rules (FR-3919, RIN 2577-AB54) provided procedures to permit housing 
agencies to enter a partnership with an entity to develop and own 
public housing properties in mixed-income developments using a mixed-
financed development method. The third rule (FR-4113, RIN 2577-AB69) 
streamlined and modified this mixed finance component.

Abstract: Under the section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) 
established by the rule, HUD assesses whether the section 8 tenant-
based assistance programs operate effectively to achieve the intended 
result of helping eligible families afford decent rental units at a 
reasonable subsidy cost. SEMAP establishes an objective system for HUD 
to measure HA performance in key section 8 program areas to enable the 
Department to ensure program integrity and accountability. SEMAP 
provides procedures for HUD to identify housing agency management 
capabilities and deficiencies in order to target monitoring and program 
assistance more effectively. Housing agencies can use the SEMAP 
performance analysis to assess and improve their own program 
operations.
