Retrospective Review—Improving the
Previous Participation Reviews of
Prospective Multifamily Housing and
Healthcare Program Participants
Informational Conference Call
Through this notice, HUD
announces that it will be holding a
conference call on September 16, 2015,
to discuss HUD’s previous participation
review process and solicit feedback on
how this process can be improved. On
August 10, 2015, HUD published a
proposed rule to revise its regulations
governing the previous participation
review process that is applied to certain
entities seeking to take part in
multifamily housing and healthcare
programs administered by HUD’s Office
of Housing. HUD’s goal in revising the
regulations is to simplify the process by
which HUD currently reviews the
previous participation of participants
that have decision-making authority
over their projects as one component of
HUD’s responsibility to assess financial
and operational risk to the projects in
these programs.
DATES: The teleconference call will be
held on September 16, 2015,
commencing at 11:30 a.m., EDT.
ADDRESSES: Because this is a conference
call, there is no meeting venue. Current
and prior multifamily housing and
healthcare programs’ participants
interested in participating in the
conference call can register for the call
at HUD’s Web site at www.hud.gov/
emarc as can other interested members
of the public.

codified in 24 CFR part 200, subpart H
(Subpart H),1 and require applicants to
complete a very detailed and lengthy
certification form (HUD Form 2530).2
The 2530 form currently requires
disclosure of all principals to be
involved in the proposed project, a list
of projects in which those principals
have previously participated or
currently participate in, a detailed
account of the principals’ involvement
in the listed project(s), and assurances
that the principals have upheld their
responsibilities while participating in
those programs. The regulations govern
not only the content of the certification
submitted by applicants, but the types
of parties that must certify, and the
process for submitting the certification.
Participants in HUD’s multifamily
housing and healthcare programs have
long complained about the delays with
HUD’s previous participation review
process because of the number of
required principals that must complete
the form and the overly detailed
information required to be submitted,
and HUD is committed to improving the
process. HUD has commenced steps to
strive to improve the previous
participation process and on August 10,
2015, at 80 FR 47874, HUD published a
proposed rule, entitled ‘‘Retrospective
Review—Improving the Previous
Participation Reviews of Prospective
Multifamily Housing and Healthcare
Programs Participants.’’ 3
Conference Call
To aid HUD in the goal to revise the
previous participation regulations so
that the review process is effective but
also expedient and less burdensome,
