Semiannual Regulatory Agenda

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,'' as amended, HUD is publishing its 
agenda of regulations already issued or that are expected to be issued 
over the next several months. The agenda also includes rules currently 
in effect that are under review, and describes those regulations that 
may affect 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, Office of General Counsel, 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'' (58 
FR 51735), as amended by Executive Order 13258 (67 FR 9385), 
requires each agency to publish semiannually an agenda of (1) 
regulations that the agency has issued or expects to issue, and (2) 
rules currently in effect 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, as amended, and the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act each permits incorporation of the agenda required 
by these two authorities with any other prescribed agenda. 
Therefore, the agenda set out below combines the information 
required by Executive Order 12866, as amended, and the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act. In addition, the agenda contains certain 
information not required by either the Executive Order or by the 
Regulatory Flexibility 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 HUD proposes to amend by rules described 
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.

     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 
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.

     In some cases, HUD has withdrawn rules that 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 HUD 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 appropriate. If that determination is made, 
the rules will be included in a succeeding semiannual agenda.

     In addition, for a few rules that have been published as 
proposed or interim rules, and therefore require further 
rulemaking, HUD has identified the timing of the next action stage 
as ``undetermined.'' These are rules that are still under review by 
HUD for which a determination of the next action stage and timing 
of the next action stage has not yet been made.

     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 five 
groups: (i) pre-rulemaking actions; (ii) publication or other 
implementations of notices of proposed rulemaking; (iii) 
publications or other implementations of final rules; (iv) long-
term rules; 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

[[Page 74551]]

multiple parts of the CFR, the rule is listed by the first affected 
part number.

     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.

     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: September 12, 2002.

 Alphonso Jackson,

Deputy Secretary.

Abstract: This rule updates and clarifies HUD's annual income 
requirements for its public housing and Section 8 assistance programs. 
Specifically, this rule clarifies 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. The 
clarifications will make the annual income requirements easier to 
understand for both program participants and public housing agencies. 
These changes will also ensure greater conformity between HUD's annual 
income requirements and the TANF program regulations. The final rule 
follows publication of an April 20, 2001 proposed rule, and takes into 
consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.

programs, find and lease decent and affordable housing. The new FMR 
policy increases FMRs needed to promote residential choice, help 
families move closer to areas of job growth, and deconcentrate poverty. 
The increased FMR applies to all the HUD programs that use FMRs in that 
metropolitan area.

Abstract: The U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance

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, and 
must also update/replace its Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards 
(UFAS) with standards equivalent to or stricter than the Access Board's 
guidelines.

Legal Deadline: None

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.

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 202

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule would make several amendments to HUD's regulations 
for the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Credit Watch/Termination 
Initiative. Under the Credit Watch/Termination Initiative, HUD 
identifies mortgagees with unsatisfactory performance levels and takes 
ameliorative action at an early stage. The proposed rule will state 
that mortgagees will be responsible for using HUD's Electronic 
Neighborhood Watch Early Warning System to monitor their performance. 
Among other changes, the rule would also prohibit a mortgagee that has 
received a notice of proposed termination of its origination approval 
agreement from establishing a new branch for the origination of FHA-
insured mortgages in the lending area covered by the proposed 
termination. The rule also would establish that the default and claim 
thresholds underlying the Credit Watch/Termination Initiative apply to 
both underwriting and originating mortgagees.

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 202.5

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule would authorize the Department to establish a loan 
originator registry and a servicing approval agreement for FHA-approved 
lenders. The loan originator registry would limit registration of a 
loan originator to one FHA-approved lender at a time and give the 
Department the ability to monitor a loan originator's loan performance. 
The rule would provide for sanctions against loan originators for poor 
performance. Also, the rule would clarify that a loan originator must 
be an employee of a lender. This rule also would create a servicing 
approval agreement that would require FHA approval. The Department 
believes that the servicing agreement would enhance its authority to 
supervise the servicing of FHA-insured mortgages and to take action 
against mortgagees that fail to perform required servicing functions.

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 25; 24 CFR 203

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule clarifies and strengthens HUD's regulations 
concerning the responsibilities of lenders approved by the Federal 
Housing Administration (FHA) in the selection of appraisers to perform 
appraisals on properties that will be the security for FHA-insured 
mortgages. First, the rule provides that lenders are to be held 
strictly accountable for the quality of appraisals on properties 
securing FHA-insured mortgages. Further, the rule specifically provides 
that lenders that submit appraisals to HUD that do not meet FHA 
requirements are subject to the imposition of sanctions by the HUD 
Mortgagee Review. The rule would apply to both sponsor lenders, who 
underwrite loans, and loan correspondent lenders, who originate loans 
on behalf of their sponsors. HUD believes these proposed changes will 
help protect the FHA Insurance Fund, ensure better compliance with 
appraisal standards, and help to ensure that homebuyers receive an 
accurate statement of appraised value.

1162. DISPOSITION OF HUD-ACQUIRED SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTY; OFFICER/

Legal Authority: 12 USC 1701 et seq; 42 USC 1441; 42 USC 1441a; 42 USC 
1551a; 42 USC 3535(d)

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 291, subpart F

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule codifies the policies and procedures concerning the 
Teacher Next Door (TND) Sales Program. The TND Sales Program has been 
operating since December 7, 1999 as a temporary program. This rule 
establishes the TND Sales Program as a permanent part of HUD's single 
family property disposition program. Through the TND Sales Program, HUD 
makes HUD-acquired single family properties available to eligible 
teachers for purchase at a discount from the list price. The TND Sales 
Program is closely modelled after HUD's Officer Next Door (OND) Sales 
Program, which provides the same benefits to eligible law enforcement 
officers. In addition to codifying the TND Sales Program, the rule 
would also clarify and revise certain requirements applicable to both 
the OND and TND Sales Programs. Among other such changes, the proposed 
rule would: (1) expand eligibility for the OND Sales Program to include 
Native American tribal police officers; (2) cap the total number of 
HUD-acquired homes that will be sold in a fiscal year under the OND/TND 
Sales Program; (3) establish new requirements regarding refinancing.

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 203

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule addresses property ``flipping,'' the practice 
whereby a property recently acquired is resold for a considerable 
profit with an artificially inflated value, often abetted by a lender's 
collusion with the appraiser. Specifically, the final rule will 
establish certain new requirements regarding the eligibility of 
properties for FHA mortgage insurance. The regulatory amendments made 
by this rule will comply with congressional mandates to maintain the 
FHA Insurance Fund in a sound actuarial manner. The new requirements 
will make flipped properties ineligible for FHA financing, thus 
precluding FHA home purchasers from becoming victims of property 
flipping. The rule follows publication of a September 5, 2001 proposed 
rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the 
proposed rule.

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 203

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule will make two amendments to HUD's regulations for 
the Section 203(k) Rehabilitation Loan Insurance Program. The 203(k) 
Program is the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA's) primary program 
for the rehabilitation and repair of single family properties. The rule 
will limit 203(k) rehabilitation loan insurance to one-unit properties. 
This rule will also cap the total cost of rehabilitation to twenty 
percent of the single family mortgage limit established by HUD for a 
one-unit home in a ``high cost area.'' These changes would simplify the 
203(k) Program for both lenders and homebuyers, and strengthen HUD's 
capacity to safeguard the FHA mortgage insurance fund. This rule 
follows publication of an August 21, 2002 proposed rule, and takes into 
consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.

Legal Authority: 12 USC 1715b; 12 USC 1715z to 1720; 42 USC 3535(d)

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 206

Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, June 27, 2001, Section 201 of the 
American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000 requires 
that HUD issue final regulations within 180 days of enactment.

Abstract: This rule amends HUD's regulations for the Home Equity 
Conversion Mortgage (HECM) Program to implement the amendments 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. This 
rule follows publication of a June 5, 2001 proposed rule, and takes 
into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 207

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule amends the regulations for HUD's multifamily 
mortgage insurance programs by revising 24 CFR part 207 to permit the 
Secretary to set mortgage insurance premiums (MIPs) at any rate within 
his statutory authority, rather than setting specific MIP rates by 
regulation. Under this rule, HUD will be able to set mortgage insurance 
premiums at any rate between one-fourth and one percent of the 
outstanding principal balance of the insured loan. For several insured 
housing programs, this underwriting change will eliminate the need for 
positive credit subsidy. Promulgation of this rule will allow HUD to 
avoid a shutdown of these mortgage insurance programs.

the statutory right of tenants to organize includes those State-

tenant organization to include State-financed developments assisted 
under certain HUD programs.
This rule also makes a minor technical correction to a citation in the 
existing tenant participation regulation. Section 245.135(a)(3) of the

executed in connection with refinancing the debt of existing 
multifamily properties and health care facilities. This rule will 
implement 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.

Abstract: This rule will improve the ability of entitlement communities 
and States' grant recipients to use Community Development Block Grant 
(CDBG) funds for brownfields activities. The rule will clarify the 
eligibility of activities involving the cleanup and development of 
environmentally contaminated properties under section 105(a) of the 
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. The rule 
also will increase CDBG recipients' flexibility to undertake activities 
meeting 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 
will further clarify the list of activities that may be undertaken to 
address the slum/blight national objective criteria on a spot basis. 
Finally, this rule makes corresponding changes in the eligibility 
regulations governing the Section 108 Loan Guarantee component of the 
CDBG program.

Abstract: This rule will implement section 588 of the Quality Housing

the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Section 588 
prohibits State and local governments from using CDBG funds for ``job 
pirating'' activities that are likely to result in significant job 
loss. Job pirating, in this context, refers to the use of CDBG funds to 
lure or attract a business and its jobs from one community to another 
community. The rule follows publication of an October 24, 2000 proposed 
rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the 
proposed rule.

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 1991. 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 of 1992 and 
1998. 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.

Priority: Other Significant

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

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 972

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule would establish the cost methodology that Public 
Housing Agencies (PHAs) must use under HUD's programs for the required 
and voluntary conversion of public housing developments to tenant-based 
assistance. Both programs require that PHAs, before undertaking any 
conversion activity, compare the cost of providing tenant-based 
assistance with the cost of continuing to operate the development as 
public housing. The cost methodology would be codified as an appendix 
to HUD's regulations for the required and voluntary conversion programs 
at 24 CFR part 972. The cost methodology was originally contained in 
HUD's July 23, 1999 proposed rule on voluntary conversions (although 
the methodology also applies to required conversions). HUD has decided 
to significantly revise the proposed cost methodology, based both on 
the public comments received on the proposed rule and upon further 
consideration of the cost factors that should be assessed by PHAs in 
making conversion determinations. Accordingly, HUD has decided to issue 
this new rule, which will provide the public with an additional 
opportunity to comment on the methodology that will be used for the 
required cost comparisons.

Abstract: This rule implements a revision to the statute that 
authorizes HUD's 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 the 
PHA 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 follows publication of a July 23, 
1999 proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments 
received on the proposed rule.

1218. SECTION 8 HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM; PILOT PROGRAM FOR HOMEOWNERSHIP 
ASSISTANCE FOR DISABLED FAMILIES (FR-4661)

Priority: Other Significant

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

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 982

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule implements the three-year pilot program authorized 
by section 302 of the American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity 
Act of 2000 (Pub.L. 106-569, approved December 27, 2000). A public 
housing agency (PHA) may elect to provide homeownership assistance to a 
disabled family under the pilot program, rather than under the Housing 
Choice Voucher Program homeownership option. Under the pilot program, a 
PHA provides homeownership assistance to a disabled family residing in 
a home purchased and owned by one or more members of the family. The 
final rule incorporates the requirements for the pilot program in HUD's 
regulations for the homeownership option. In addition to the amendments 
implementing section 302, HUD has taken the opportunity afforded by 
this rule to make several clarifying and technical amendments to its 
September 12, 2000 final rule establishing the homeownership option. 
This final rule follows publication of a June 22, 2001 interim rule, 
and takes into consideration the public comments received on the 
interim rule.

1219. SECTION 8 HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM: DOWNPAYMENT ASSISTANCE GRANTS AND 
STREAMLINING AMENDMENTS (FR-4670)

Priority: Other Significant

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

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 982

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule implements section 301 of the American 
Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000, which amends the 
``homeownership option'' under the Housing Choice

[[Page 74578]]

Voucher Program. Under section 301, a Public Housing Agency (PHA) may, 
in lieu of paying a monthly homeownership assistance payment on behalf 
of a family, provide homeownership assistance for the family in the 
form of a single grant to be used toward the downpayment required in 
connection with the purchase of the home. Implementation of these 
downpayment assistance grants is anticipated for Federal fiscal year 
2003. In addition to implementation of section 301, this final rule 
also clarifies and streamlines several regulatory requirements 
applicable to both downpayment grants and monthly homeownership 
assistance payments provided under the homeownership option. This rule 
follows publication of a June 13, 2001 proposed rule and takes into 
consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.

1220. HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM HOMEOWNERSHIP OPTION: ELIGIBILITY 
OF PHA OWNED OR CONTROLLED UNITS (FR-4759)

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

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

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 982

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule provides that units owned or substantially 
controlled by a public housing agency (PHA) are eligible for purchase 
under the Housing Choice Voucher Program homeownership option. The 
inclusion of PHA owned or controlled properties among properties 
eligible for purchase under the homeownership option will expand the 
availability of housing and affordable homeownership opportunities for 
voucher families participating in the homeownership option. The rule 
also establishes procedures to remove potential conflicts of interest 
where the PHA is the seller. Specifically, the rule provides that an 
independent entity must perform certain administrative duties for which 
the PHA would normally be responsible. These provisions are modeled on 
the requirements for PHA-owned units in the voucher rental program.

CFR Citation: 24 CFR 985

Abstract: This rule revises the way HUD measures and verifies 
performance under the lease-up indicator for the Section 8 Management 
Assessment Program (SEMAP). The rule revises the lease-up standard to 
measure the higher of the percent of units leased during the Public 
Housing Agency's (PHA) SEMAP rating period or the percent of available 
budget authority expended during the PHA's SEMAP rating period. In 
addition, this rule also revises the SEMAP regulations to provide for 
automated signature of the required SEMAP certification. The rule 
follows publication of an October 1, 2001, interim rule, and takes into 
consideration the public comments received on the interim rule.

Abstract: This final rule will follow publication of a March 29, 2001 
interim rule that governs the determination of funding distribution to 
public housing agencies under the Operating Fund. The Conference Report 
to HUD's FY 2000 Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 106-74, approved October

[[Page 74579]]

HUD to contract with the Harvard University Graduate School of Design 
to conduct a study of the cost incurred in operating well run public 
housing and provides the results to the negotiated rulemaking committee 
and the appropriate congressional committees. As portions of the study 
are completed, HUD is meeting with representatives of the negotiated 
rulemaking committee that helped HUD develop the Operating Fund 
proposed rule, as well as other interested parties. These meetings have 
also been open to the public. HUD will develop the final rule once the 
cost study is completed, taking into account the input from interested 
members of the public.
