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,'' HUD is publishing its agenda of (1) 
regulations already issued or expected to be issued, and (2) currently 
effective rules that are under review. As permitted by law, the agenda 
also describes regulations affecting small entities as required by 
section 602 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The purpose of 
publication of the agenda is to encourage more effective public 
participation in the regulatory process by providing the public with 
early information about pending regulatory activities.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aaron Santa Anna, 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. 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 
permit 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. 
Existing regulations that are proposed to be amended by rules under 
development and published in this agenda are reviewed in accordance 
with the principles of section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act. The purpose of the review is to determine whether the rule 
should be continued without change, amended or rescinded. Proposed 
changes to existing regulations provide the opportunity for the 
Department to conduct a section 610 review.

    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.

    In addition to the authorities described above that affect 
HUD's rulemaking, this semiannual agenda reflects the regulatory 
review required by the new administration. On January 20, 2001, 
White House Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card, Jr. issued a memorandum 
entitled ``Regulatory Review Plan'' to all Federal departments and 
agencies, which sets out certain procedures that ensure that the 
administration has the opportunity to review any new or pending 
regulations. Consistent with the direction of the January 20, 2001, 
memorandum, HUD has refrained from adding new rules to the agenda 
except for those required by statute and for which there is a 
statutory deadline and those already reviewed and approved by HUD's 
new administration.

    Consistent with the direction of the January 20, 2001, 
memorandum, HUD also has withdrawn several rules which were placed 
on previous agendas and for which there has been no publication 
activity. Withdrawal of a rule does not necessarily mean that HUD 
will not proceed with the rulemaking. Withdrawal allows the new HUD 
Administration to further assess the subject matter and determine 
whether rulemaking for this subject matter is appropriate. 
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.

    Additionally, for several rules which have been published as an 
advance notice of proposed rulemaking, a proposed or interim rule, 
and which therefore require further rulemaking, HUD has identified 
the timing of the next action stage as ``undetermined.'' This 
description also allows the new HUD Administration the opportunity 
to assess rules already published and determine the appropriate 
next stage and timing of the next stage of rulemaking.

    HUD has attempted to list in this agenda all regulations and 
regulatory reviews pending at the time of publication, except for 
minor and routine or repetitive actions, but some may have been 
inadvertently omitted, or may have arisen too late to be included

[[Page 25479]]

in the published agenda. There is no legal significance to the 
omission of an item from the agenda. Also, where dates are provided 
for the next rulemaking actions, the dates are estimates and are 
not commitments to act on or by the date shown.

    The format of the agenda remains unchanged from previous years. 
HUD's 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) publication or other 
implementations of final rules, (iv) long-term actions, and (v) 
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.

    Since the purpose of publication of the agenda is to encourage 
more effective public participation in the regulatory process by 
providing the public with early information about the Department's 
future regulatory actions, HUD invites all interested members of 
the public to comment on the rules listed in the agenda.

Dated:  February 23, 2001.

Deputy General Counsel for Housing Finance and Operations.

1121.  TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE TO NEEDY FAMILIES (TANF) (FR-4635)

Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 3535(d)

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 5

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule would update and clarify HUD's annual income 
requirements for its public housing and Section 8 assistance programs. 
Specifically, this rule would clarify that annual income includes 
payments under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) 
program, but only to the extent such payments qualify as ``assistance'' 
under the TANF program regulations issued by the Department of Health 
and Human Services and are not otherwise excluded under HUD's 
regulation. HUD believes that these clarifications will make the annual 
income requirements easier to understand for both program participants 
and public housing agencies. These changes would ensure greater 
conformity between HUD's annual income requirements and the TANF 
program regulations.

Legal Authority: 42 USC 3535(d); 42 USC 4153

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 40; 24 CFR 41

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance 
Board (Access Board), of which HUD is a voting member, is revising and 
updating its accessibility guidelines for buildings and facilities 
covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Architectural 
Barriers Act (ABA). The guidelines cover new construction and 
alterations and serve as the basis for enforceable standards issued by 
other Federal agencies, including HUD. HUD, as one of the four standard 
setting agencies, must adopt standards that are equivalent to or 
stricter than those guidelines issued by the Access Board. Thus, HUD 
must both update its regulations for the ABA at 24 CFR 40 and 41, but 
must also update/replace its Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards 
(UFAS) with standards equivalent to or stricter than the Access Board's 
guidelines.

Abstract: This proposed rule would implement section 601(f) of the 
fiscal year 1999 HUD Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 105-276, approved 
October 21, 1998). Section 601(f) amends the National Housing Act, 
which establishes the basic framework for HUD's single family mortgage 
insurance programs. Specifically, section 601(f) amends section 230 of 
the National Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 1715u) (entitled ``Authority to 
Assist Mortgagors in Default'') to provide that, upon default of an 
insured single family mortgage, lenders must engage in loss mitigation 
activities for the purpose of providing an alternative to foreclosure. 
Further, section 601(f) amends section 536 of the National Housing Act 
(12 U.S.C. 1735f-14) (entitled ``Civil Money Penalties Against 
Mortgagees, Lenders, and Other Participants in FHA Programs'') to 
provide for the imposition of treble civil money penalties on lenders 
that fail to engage in loss mitigation activities, as required under 
amended section 230.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule follows the interim final rule that implemented 
HUD's new fair market rent (FMR) policy. The new FMR policy targets 
relief to areas where higher FMRs are needed to help families, assisted 
under HUD's Housing Choice Voucher Program as well as other HUD 
programs, find and lease decent and affordable housing. With respect to 
the Housing Choice Voucher Program, the policy provides that where 
necessary to ensure the effective operation of this program, PHAs will 
be allowed to set their payment standards based on the 50th percentile 
rent rather than the published 40th percentile FMR. This aspect of the 
policy is designed to ensure that

[[Page 25486]]

families with housing vouchers have access to at least half of all 
newly available units in those areas. In addition, the new FMR policy 
increases FMRs to the 50th percentile in those metropolitan areas where 
an FMR increase is most needed to promote residential choice, help 
families move closer to areas of job growth, and deconcentrate poverty. 
Where it is determined that an FMR increase is needed in a metropolitan 
area, the increased FMR applies to all the HUD programs that use FMRs 
in that metropolitan area.

RESTORATION ACT (FR-4587)

Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2000d-1; 42 USC 2000d-7; 42 USC 3535(d)

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 1; 24 CFR 8; 24 CFR 146

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Federal agencies propose to make amendments to their 
regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 
(Title VI), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (Section 
504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act). 
Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, 
color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities 
that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights 
Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of ``program or activity'' and 
``program'' to Title VI, and it added a definition of ``program or 
activity'' to Section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act. The added 
definitions assured that when the term ``program or activity'' is used 
in these regulations it is understood that it applies to the entire 
institution. The promulgation of this proposed regulation incorporates 
the CRRA's definition of ``program or activity'' and ``program'' into 
Title VI, Section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations of the 
agencies, and promotes consistent and adequate enforcement of these 
statutes by the agencies.

civil money penalties at least once every 4 years. HUD last adjusted 
these maximum amounts in a final rule that became effective October 24, 
1996 (61 FR 50208). Accordingly, HUD must adjust the maximum

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 this rule. The rule would incorporate these 
amendments in HUD's civil money penalty regulations located at 24 CFR 
part 30.

Abstract: A report issued in June 2000 by HUD and the Department of 
Treasury entitled ``Curbing Predatory Home Mortgage Lending,'' noted 
that by providing a source of funding, entities that purchase or 
securitize loans with high cost and/or predatory features are, 
knowingly or unknowingly, supporting the activities of predatory loan 
originators. The report recommended regulatory restrictions that would 
prohibit the two Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), Fannie Mae 
and Freddie Mac, from purchasing certain types of loans with high costs 
and/or predatory features altogether. Through this rulemaking, HUD will 
establish regulatory restrictions, consistent with the GSEs' voluntary 
restrictions, that will prohibit the GSEs from purchasing certain loans 
with high costs and/or predatory features. Specifically, this rule will 
prohibit the GSEs from purchasing loans that come within the high-cost 
thresholds of the Home Ownership Equity Protection Act, loans with 
excessive fees, loans originated with single-premium credit life 
insurance, and loans with other harmful features. This rule will help 
to ensure that these GSEs are not supporting the activities of 
predatory loan originators.

Abstract: This rule would establish regulatory placement and removal 
procedures for HUD's Nonprofit Organization Roster. The Roster lists 
nonprofit organizations that HUD has determined are qualified to 
participate in certain specified Federal Housing Administration (FHA) 
single family activities. These activities may include acting as a 
mortgagor; purchasing HUD's Real Estate Owned Properties (HUD Homes) at 
a discount; providing secondary financing; and imposing legal 
restrictions on conveyance as part of affordable housing programs. 
Presently, there are no regulatory procedures for placing a nonprofit 
organization on, nor for removing a poorly performing nonprofit 
organization from, the Roster. HUD believes that the establishment of 
these placement and removal procedures will better protect participants 
in the FHA single family programs and safeguard FHA insurance funds.

construction, to perform various tasks required for the rehabilitation 
of the property. Presently, there are no regulatory procedures for 
placing a consultant on, nor for removing a poorly performing

made by section 201(a) of the American Homeownership and Economic 
Opportunity Act of 2000. The HECM Program enables older homeowners to 
withdraw some of the equity in their homes in the form of payments for 
life, a fixed term, or at intervals through a line of credit. Section 
201(a) authorizes HUD to offer mortgage insurance for refinancing of 
existing HECMs, and provides consumer safeguards for such refinancings.

Abstract: This interim rule amends the regulations for the Supportive 
Housing Programs for the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities (also 
referred to as the Section 202 Program and the Section 811 Program, 
respectively) to extend the duration of the fund reservation, for 
project development, from 24 months to 36 months. The extension to 36 
months better coincides with the amount of time that is frequently 
involved to commence construction of supportive housing for the elderly 
and for persons with disabilities.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule makes final the interim rule that implemented 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 provides 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.

Abstract: Section 236(g) of the National Housing Act, as amended most 
recently by Section 216 of HUD's FY 2001 Appropriations Act and Section 
816 of the American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000, 
permits owners of multifamily rental projects with Section 236 Interest 
Reduction Payments (IRP) contracts to retain some or all of their 
excess rental charges for project use if authorized by HUD, and to 
retain and use some or all of the excess rental charges for non-project 
use if certain statutory conditions are met and if authorized by HUD. 
HUD's regulations on application

of excess rental charges are outdated, do not reflect statutory 
amendments after 1995, and do not permit owners to retain excess rental 
charges. The rule would update the regulation to reflect statutory

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 200

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: HUD proposes to establish an ``Appraiser Watch'' system, 
similar to the successful Credit Watch system for FHA lenders. The 
Appraiser Watch system would rate appraisers on the performance of 
loans linked to their appraisals. Appraisers who are linked with 
excessive default and claim rates, or who appear to be involved with 
the predatory practice of property flipping, will be immediately 
suspended from the FHA Appraiser Roster and targeted for further 
review. Based on the outcome of this review, the appraiser may be 
removed from the Appraiser Roster and, if appropriate, subject to other 
enforcement or legal action. In addition to the amendments implementing 
the proposed Appraiser Watch system, the proposed rule would make 
several regulatory changes designed to strengthen the licensing and 
certification requirements for placement on the FHA Appraiser Roster.

Abstract: This proposed rule prohibits a mortgagee that has received a 
notice of proposed termination of its origination approval agreement 
from establishing a new branch or branches in the lending area covered 
by the proposed termination. The purpose of this rule is to ensure that 
mortgagees that are not performing satisfactorily in a specified 
geographic areas do not circumvent HUD's Credit Watch program by 
establishing a new branch in that same area. Additionally, this rule 
amends the default and claim rate determinations to allow HUD to take 
action first and only (if HUD so desires) against mortgagees with 
default and claim rates higher than those currently established in the 
regulation. This change will allow HUD to focus resources, that are 
limited from time to time, on those mortgagees that have excessively 
high default and claim rates and not be required to also focus its 
resources on those mortgagees with rates that barely exceed the 
thresholds.

Abstract: This interim rule implements Section 223(f) of the National 
Housing Act, which authorizes the Secretary of HUD to insure mortgages 
executed in connection with refinancing the debt of existing 
multifamily properties and health care facilities. This interim rule 
implements this authority with respect to acute care hospitals. The 
purpose of the Section 223(f) program is to provide hospitals the 
opportunity to refinance their long-term debt so that the hospitals can 
reduce their annual debt service and thus improve their financial 
viability. This in turn will further the congressional policy of 
assisting urgently needed hospitals that treat and care for persons who 
are acutely ill or injured and who otherwise require medical care and 
related services customarily furnished only by hospitals.

1194.  MODIFICATION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT 
DEFINITION FOR METROPOLITAN CITY (FR-4624)

Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 3535(d); 42 USC 5301 to 5320

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 570

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This interim rule expands the definition of the term 
``metropolitan city'' under the Community Development Block Grant 
(CDBG) program to include any city that would have become a 
metropolitan city by virtue of having a population of 50,000 or more 
based on 1999 Census population estimates without regard to whether the 
city is in a metropolitan area. Due to pending changes to the standards 
for defining metropolitan areas, the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) suspended designation of new metropolitan areas as of June 1999. 
Since the CDBG statute requires that a metropolitan city be ``within a 
metropolitan area,'' the absence of new designations for the past year 
has resulted in otherwise eligible cities not already located in an 
established metropolitan area from receiving CDBG entitlement funds. To 
address this problem, this interim rule permits any city reaching the 
50,000 population threshold based on 1999 estimates (notwithstanding 
OMB's moratorium on designating metropolitan areas) to be designated as 
a metropolitan city and, thereby, be eligible to receive CDBG 
entitlement grants.

depository intermediary (a ``Depository''). The proposed rule would 
require that payments on Ginnie Mae I MBS due to Depositories be made 
in immediately available funds and would supersede any current 
provisions allowing those payments to be made by check. Payments to 
other security holders may be made by check or other means provided the 
check is received by the security holder not later than the 15th day of 
each month. The regulation would also eliminate any requirement that a 
physical certificate be maintained by a Depository.

Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 3535(d); 42 USC 3600 to 3620

Abstract: Subpart D of HUD's Fair Housing Act regulations (24 CFR part 
100), which address the accessibility requirements of the Fair Housing 
Act, has not been updated since its issuance in 1989. These regulations 
reference compliance with the building standards of the American 
National Standards Institute (ANSI), but the reference to the ANSI 
edition of 1986 has long been superseded by two more recent editions. 
Although parties subject to the Fair Housing Act regulations may 
continue to refer to the 1986 edition of ANSI, the regulations need to 
be updated to also offer compliance with the 1992 and 1998 editions as 
a safe harbor for compliance. This rule will update the regulations to 
provide that compliance with the appropriate requirements of the 1986, 
1992 or 1998 editions of ANSI A117.1 suffices to satisfy the 
accessibility requirements of the Fair Housing Act.

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. This rule takes into consideration public comments received 
on the proposed rule.

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. 
This rule takes into consideration public comments received on the 
proposed rule.

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

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 982

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: On October 21, 1999, HUD published a final rule implementing 
the statutory merger of the Section 8 tenant-based and certificate 
programs into the new Housing Choice Voucher program. This rule amends 
HUD's regulations governing this new merger program to expand the 
regulatory payment standard protection against subsidy reduction. The 
October 21, 1999 final rule limited payment standard protection to the 
first 24 months of the lease term. This rule provides that a family is 
not subject to a subsidy reduction until the second regular 
reexamination of family income and composition following the payment 
standard reduction. This protection extends for the duration of the 
lease

1220. REVISIONS TO SEMAP LEASE-UP INDICATOR (FR-4604)

Priority: Other Significant

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

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 985

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This interim rule revises the way HUD measures and verifies 
performance under the lease-up indicator for the Section 8 Management 
Assessment Program (SEMAP). Specifically, the interim rule revises the 
lease-up standard to measure the number of units leased against the 
number of units reserved and under Annual Contributions Contract (ACC), 
instead of against the number of units budgeted. This revised standard 
is consistent with recently established HUD policy on voucher renewals 
and unit allocations as formulated during negotiated rulemaking 
pursuant to the Public Housing Reform Act of 1998. In addition, this 
interim rule also revises the SEMAP regulations to provide for 
automated signature of the required SEMAP certification.

1221. REVISION TO CONSTRUCTION COST LIMITS FOR NATIVE AMERICAN HOUSING 
(FR-4517)

Priority: Other Significant

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

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 1000

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 
provides 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.

1222.  NAHASDA HOUSING ASSISTANCE FOR NATIVE HAWAIIANS (FR-4668)

Priority: Other Significant

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

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 1000

Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, October 1, 2001.
Section 807 of the American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act 
of 2001 requires that HUD issue final regulations by October 1, 2001.

Abstract: The rule implements the provisions contained in title V, 
subtitle B of the American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act 
of 2000. These provisions add a new title VIII to the Native American 
Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) of 1996. Under 
NAHASDA, HUD provides grants, loan guarantees, and technical assistance 
to Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages for the development and 
operation of low-income housing in Indian areas. New title VIII expands 
the scope of NAHASDA to include housing assistance to Native Hawaiians, 
and establishes statutory requirements specific to Native Hawaiian 
NAHASDA assistance.
