On November 24, 2008, HUD published a notice that provided information about the applicability of certain HERA provisions to these programs. The notice identified: (1) Those statutory provisions that are self-executing and required no action on the part of HUD for the program changes made by HERA to be implemented; and (2) those statutory provisions that require new regulations or regulatory changes by HUD for the HERA provisions to be implemented. The notice also offered the opportunity for public comment on the guidance provided. This proposed rule follows the November 24, 2008, notice for the purpose of establishing, in regulation, the reforms made to HERA as discussed in that notice, and to make other related regulatory changes. This proposed rule would make conforming changes to the regulations of the Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher and Section 8 Project-Based Voucher programs to reflect the self-executing provisions of HERA, and would also amend the regulations required to implement those statutory provisions of HERA that are not self-implementing. Additionally, this rule would make such other changes for the purposes of updating certain regulations to reflect current practices, and clarifying other regulations which, based on experience, HUD determined would benefit from clarification. While the conforming and clarifying changes are not implementing new policy, HUD nevertheless welcomes comment on the clarity and comprehensibility of the language proposed to be codified. This rule also takes into consideration the two public comments received in response to issuance of the November 2008 notice, and solicits additional public comment. HERA changes affecting the public housing program are being addressed by separate rulemaking. 77 FR 28742 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2012-05-15/2012-11638 2012-11638 fr15my12-27 4210-67-P Docket No. FR-5242-P-01 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2012-05-15/2012-11638 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-05-15/html/2012-11638.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-05-15/pdf/2012-11638.pdf Administrative Practice and Procedure Aged Claims Drug Abuse Drug Traffic Control Grant Programs-Housing and Community Development Grant Programs-Indians Individuals with Disabilities Loan Programs-Housing and Community Development Low and Moderate Income Housing Mortgage Insurance Pets Public Housing Rent Subsidies Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Housing Low- and Moderate-Income Housing 14 p. 28742 28755 77 FR 28742 Title 24 Part 5 24 CFR Part 5 Title 24 Part 982 24 CFR Part 982 Title 24 Part 983 24 CFR Part 983 The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA): Changes to the Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher and Section 8 Project-Based Voucher Programs; Federal Register Vol. 77, Issue PRORULE 2012-11638 IV DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT 2012-07-16 Docket No. FR-5242-P-01 4210-67-P 2012-11638 Proposed rule.
