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 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 (5U.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 on a substantial number of small 
entities, and that are to be reviewed in accordance with the 
requirements of 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. In 1998, the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility 
Act of 1998 was enacted (Pub.L. 105-276, approved October 21, 
1998)(commonly referred to as the Public Housing Reform Act). The 
Public Housing Reform Act made significant changes to HUD's public 
housing and Section 8 assistance programs. This statute, as will be 
seen by many of the items listed in this semiannual agenda, 
requires substantial regulatory changes to HUD's public housing and 
Section 8 assistance programs. In view of the significant changes 
implemented by the Public Housing Reform Act, the Department is 
reviewing all of the regulations governing its public housing and 
Section 8 assistance programs in accordance with the principles of 
section 610, not only those that are required to be revised by the 
Public Housing Reform Act. The Department welcomes comments on 
these regulations.

    Although the Department's focus, during the next several 
months, is on its regulations governing its public housing and 
Section 8 assistance programs, the Department invites comments from 
the public on any rule listed in this agenda that the public 
believes will have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities.

    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. Section 7(o) provides that 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

[[Page 64445]]

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. Several of the 
public housing or Section 8 assistance regulations that are 
withdrawn were made obsolete by the Public Housing Reform Act. For 
other rules, the Department is withdrawing the rule to further 
assess the subject matter and whether rulemaking continues to be 
the appropriate method for implementation of the subject matter. 
Following this review, the Department may determine that certain 
rules listed as withdrawn under this agenda are necessary. If that 
determination is made, the rules will be included in a succeeding 
semiannual agenda.

    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 1999 agenda to assist the 
Department in improving its regulatory products and procedures.

Dated : September 2, 1999

 Gail W. Laster,

General Counsel.

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. This rule 
addresses those amendments that require rulemaking for implementation, 
as follows. 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.

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 81

Legal Deadline: None

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 Freddie Mac and 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.

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 24

Abstract: HUD's regulations at 24 CFR part 24.713(c)(2) provide that if 
HUD issues a Limited Denial of Participation (LDP) and then 
subsequently issues or proposed debarment based on the same 
transaction(s) or conduct as the LDP, and the respondent contests the 
suspension or proposed debarment then ``the proceedings shall be 
consolidated and the debarring or suspending official shall issue a 
final decision as to both the limited denial of participation and the 
debarment suspension.'' This final rule will clarify that under the 
circumstances discussed above, jurisdiction of the hearing officer to 
hear the LDP under 24 CFR part 24, subpart G, is divested and 
transferred to the Debarring Official who will enter a decision on both 
the LDP and the debarment or suspension.

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 25; 24 CFR 30

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This interim rule makes conforming changes to HUD regulations 
to reflect statutory changes made by the Multifamily Assisted Housing 
Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 (the Multifamily Reform Act). 
Among other amendments, the Multifamily Reform Act provides that a 
suspension issued by the HUD Mortgagee Review Board is effective, 
without previous 30-day written notice of violation to the mortgagee, 
if there is sufficient evidence that immediate action is required to 
protect the financial interests of HUD or the public. The Multifamily 
Reform Act also expanded the list of persons and types of violations 
subject to a civil money penalty under HUD's insured housing programs. 
The interim rule also makes three clarifying, non-substantive 
amendments to these regulations. The first clarifies under what 
conditions HUD's Mortgagee Review Board may issue a suspension. The 
second amendment clarifies the effect of a suspension or withdrawal 
issued by the Board. The third clarifies that the Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing may initiate a civil money penalty under 
the section 184 Indian housing loan guarantee program.

Abstract: This proposed rule would adopt several Use of Materials 
Bulletins and references related to national voluntary consensus 
standards in accordance with OMB Circular No. A-119. The proposed rule 
would also supplement the HUD Building Product Standards and 
Certification Program by requiring that additional information be 
included on the label, tag, or mark that each manufacturer affixes to 
the certified product. The labeling of these products is in the public 
interest because it will allow consumers to readily identify those 
products that comply with existing voluntary consensus standards. In 
addition, the proposed rule would eliminate the need for manufacturers 
of these building products to seek HUD acceptance for individual 
products. Under the proposed rule, HUD would accept these products on a 
generic basis for use in properties covered under the HUD mortgage 
insurance programs. This would result in the streamlining of existing 
HUD requirements. The proposed rule would also specify the frequency 
with which products must be tested in order to be acceptable to HUD.

Abstract: This rule proposes to amend HUD's regulations for the title I 
Property Improvement Loan Insurance Program. This rule would require 
that at least some of the loan proceeds must be used for correcting 
code violations, health and safety defects accessibility improvements, 
or energy improvements. This rule would also require the lender to 
certify that no party that is debarred or subject to a limited denial 
of participation will be involved in connection with the loan; that the 
property has been inspected and the proposed work meets the eligibility 
requirements; and that a post-completion inspection and verification of 
completion of the work has occurred. This rule would also establish 
time limits for completing improvements and streamline requirements, 
where appropriate. HUD anticipates that this rule will be finalized in 
conjunction with FR-3718.

Abstract: Section 524(a)(1) of the Multifamily Housing Reform and 
Affordability Act of 1997 (MAHRA) allows for the renewal of expiring 
Section 8 contracts at levels that do not exceed comparable rents for 
the local area. In June 1999 HUD implemented an Emergency Initiative 
which grants rent increases to certain project owners of limited 
distribution projects who are eligible for, and decide to participate 
in, the Emergency Initiative.




[[Page 64459]]


Current regulatory provisions limit the owner's distribution to a 
certain percent of interest on the owner's equity investment. Limited 
waivers are now being granted by the Department based on the 
requirements in Notice H-99-15, which provides guidance on the 
Emergency Initiative. This rule establishes regulations to address this 
issue on a long term basis.

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.

1440. SOURCES OF HOMEBUYER DOWNPAYMENT (FR-4469)

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 12 USC 1709

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 203

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 203(b)(9) of the National Housing Act requires 
mortgagors to pay on account of the property at least 3 percent of the 
cost of acquisition in order for the mortgage to be eligible for 
insurance by FHA. The implementing regulations at 24 CFR 203.19 
generally require that borrowers pay as downpayment in cash or its 
equivalent at least 3 percent of the acquisition cost. However, both 
the statute and the regulations are silent about permissible and/or 
impermissible sources of the downpayment (except for legislation in 
1996 to permit family members to provide gifts and loans to other 
family members). This rule will clarify acceptable sources of homebuyer 
downpayment on FHA-insured mortgages.

Abstract: Several years ago, the Department decided to reduce the 
duration of the Section 202/811 fund reservation to 24 months for 
Sponsors selected in Fiscal Year 1996 and later years as one measure to 
facilitate the more timely development of Section 202/811 projects. Now 
that the 24-month period has expired for the first affected Sponsors, 
HUD is finding that the majority of these Sponsors are taking longer 
than 24 months to get their projects under construction. Thus, limiting 
the duration of the fund reservation is not achieving the desired 
result. The purpose of the regulatory change is to extend the fund 
reservations of Section 202 and Section 811 projects up to 36 months.

Abstract: A final rule will provide consumers with increased disclosure 
concerning the mortgage broker's function and fees and would provide 
mortgage brokers with greater clarity regarding application of the Real 
Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) to mortgage broker fees. 
Confusion about how RESPA applies to mortgage broker fees has led to 
litigation and numerous requests for clarification. The proposed rule 
was developed after receiving comments on a prior proposed rule and 
after parties to a negotiated rulemaking process, including consumer 
and industry groups, could not reach a consensus.

In order to benefit from greater clarity about permissibility of fees, 
mortgage brokers would be encouraged to provide information to the 
consumer early in a mortgage financing transaction. The information 
would include a statement regarding information about the mortgage 
broker's duties and compensation.

1458. CDBG SLUM/BLIGHT NATIONAL OBJECTIVE RULE (FR-4487)

Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 3535; 42 USC 5300 to 5320

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 570

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule will be a key step in the implementation of the 
Department's Brownfields Initiative. (The Brownfields Initiative will 
stimulate economic development through the redevelopment of 
contaminated industrial properties.) It will increase CDBG recipients' 
flexibility to undertake activities that meet the national objective of 
preventing or eliminating slums or blighting conditions. The criteria 
for meeting the slum/blight national objective will be revised to 
specifically recognize economic obsolescence of buildings and the 
presence of environmental contaminants as blighting influences on an 
area or property. This rule also will propose clarifications of the 
standards for meeting the slum/blight national objective criteria on a 
spot basis, in accordance with recent statutory changes.

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 180

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This final rule adopts revisions to HUD's regulations 
governing hearing procedures for civil rights matters made effective by 
an interim rule published on February 10, 1999. These revisions 
implement two important changes in the way civil penalties are assessed 
in fair housing cases. First, they allow an administrative law judge 
(ALJ) to assess a separate civil penalty against a respondent for each 
separate and distinct discriminatory housing practice committed by the 
respondent. Second, they require an ALJ to take into account, in favor 
of imposing a maximum civil penalty, a finding that a respondent has 
committed a housing-related hate act. This final rule takes into 
consideration public comments received on the February 10, 1999 interim 
rule. After careful consideration of public comments, HUD has decided 
to adopt the interim rule without change.

affect Indian tribal governments, HUD will adhere to the principles of 
respect, Indian tribal self-government, sovereignty, tribal legal 
rights, and the responsibilities that arise from the legal relationship 
that exits between the Federal government and Indian tribal 
governments. As provided in the notice, HUD will make all reasonable 
efforts to take into consideration and apply these principals when 
policy decisions are made affecting Native American communities.

demolishing public housing units the PHA must now consult with the 
local government and must provide a HUD-prescribed certification. In 
addition, demolition of public housing units can be approved under a 
HOPE VI revitalization plan instead of under the authority of these 
regulations. The requirement that residents must be offered an 
opportunity to buy their units is now applicable only to planned 
disposition, not to planned demolition. The right of tenants to 
organize in order to purchase their units after the decision has been 
made to dispose of the units, which was not required by statute, may be 
discontinued.

evictions, for drug-related criminal activity, and for disruptive 
alcohol abuses; for deconcentration of assisted families; and for

Legal Authority: 25 USC 4101 et seq; 42 USC 3535(d)

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule revises the way construction costs are controlled 
in the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program administered by IHBG 
grantees, who are Indian Tribes or their Tribally Designated Housing 
Entities (TDHEs). It would replace the system of HUD-established 
Dwelling Construction and Equipment costs with a choice between HUD-
established Total Development Costs (TDC) or standards established by 
the TDHE based on standards in its geographic area. This rule also 
would provide that the construction, acquisition, or assistance of non-
dwelling buildings is subject either to standards established by the 
TDHE or documentation of comparability to the size, design and 
amenities of similar buildings constructed in the geographic area.



When tribes began using Dwelling Construction Equipment Costs in place 
of TDC in accordance with the program changes implemented after 
enactment of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-
Determination Act, they discovered that the new limits were inadequate. 
This rule provides an alternative.

of the 1937 Act provides that a public housing resident may have one or 
more common household pets in the resident's dwelling unit, subject to 
reasonable requirements established by the Public Housing Agency and in 
accordance with applicable State and local laws. This rule amends HUD's 
regulations regarding pet ownership in public and HUD-assisted housing

Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 1439; 42 USC 3535(d)

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 791

Abstract: This rule would revise the current program regulations to 
implement the statutory language which eliminates the requirements for 
comment from local governments in non-housing assistance payment 
communities on applications for Section 8 funding and eliminates the 
non-metropolitan funding set-asides imposed by section 213 of the 
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.

1497. SECTION 8 MODERATE REHABILITATION PROGRAM EXECUTING OR TERMINATING 
LEASES ON MODERATE REHABILITATION UNITS (FR-4472)

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 1437a; 42 USC 1437c; 42 USC 1437f; 42 USC 
3535(d)

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 882

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 8(d)(1)(B)(i) of the United States Housing Act 
requires that the initial lease between the tenant and the owner be for 
at least one year or the term of the HAP contract, whichever is 
shorter. Current program regulations state that the initial term 
between an owner and a family must be for at least one year. The 
regulation is silent on the requisite lease term when the HAP contract 
term expires in less than one year. The purpose of this regulation 
revision is to implement the statutory language which requires that any 
initial lease term not extend beyond the term of the housing assistance 
payment contract.

This rule also will revise existing regulations to allow an owner and a 
public housing agency (PHA) to mutually agree to terminate a unit from 
the HAP contract if a unit becomes vacant and the term of the HAP 
contract is for less than one year.

1501. VOLUNTARY CONVERSION OF PUBLIC HOUSING TO VOUCHERS (TENANT-BASED 
ASSISTANCE) (FR-4476)

Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 1437t; 42 USC 1437z-5; 42 USC 3535(d)

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 972

Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, October 1, 1999.

Abstract: This rule implements a recent revision to the statute 
authorizing the public housing and Section 8 housing assistance 
programs to allow a Public Housing Agency (PHA) to convert any public 
housing project it owns to tenant-based assistance where the conversion 
would satisfy statutory objectives. If, after conducting a conversion 
assessment, the PHA determines that the following conditions are met, 
it may convert the project: Conversion will not be more expensive than 
continued operation of the project conversion will benefit residents 
and the community; and conversion will not adversely affect the 
availability of affordable housing in the community. The statute 
requires every PHA to conduct and submit to HUD a conversion assessment 
for its projects no later than October 1, 2001. However, HUD has the 
authority to exclude developments from the assessment requirement, or 
to streamline the conversion assessment requirements, and this rule 
does include streamlining for specified categories of developments.

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 973

Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, October 1, 1999.

Abstract: This rule implements a recent revision to the statute that 
authorizes the public housing and Section 8 housing assistance 
programs. The revision requires Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to 
identify distressed public housing developments that must be converted 
to tenant-based assistance. If it would be more expensive to modernize 
and operate a distressed development for its remaining useful life than 
to provide tenant-based assistance to all residents, or the PHA cannot 
assure the long-term viability of a distressed development, then it 
must develop and carry out a five-year plan to remove the development 
from its public housing inventory, and convert it to tenant-based 
assistance.

Abstract: On June 23, 1999 (64 FR 33644), HUD published a proposed rule 
to implement section 2(b) of the United States Housing Act of 1937. 
Section 2(b) was added by section 505 of the Quality Housing and Work 
Responsibility Act of 1998. Section 2(b) requires, with certain 
exceptions, that the membership of the board of directors or similar 
governing body of a public housing agency (PHA) must contain not less 
than one member who is directly assisted by the PHA. This final rule 
makes effective the policies and procedures set forth in the June 23, 
1999 proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments 
received on the proposed rule.
