SUMMARY: On July 28, 2006, HUD
published a notice entitled,
‘‘Implementation Guidance for Section
901 of the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations to Address Hurricanes
in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic
Influenza Act, 2006.’’ This notice
extends the period for eligible public
housing agencies (PHAs) located within
the most heavily impacted areas of
Louisiana and Mississippi that are
subject to a declaration by the President
of a major disaster under the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act in connection with
Hurricanes Katrina or Rita to submit
Notices of Intent and Fungibility Plans
in accordance with the July 28, 2006,
notice. Section 901 of the supplemental
appropriations act authorizes PHAs to
combine assistance provided under
sections 9(d) and (e) of the United States
Housing Act of 1937 (Act) and
assistance provided under section 8(o)
of the Act, for the purpose of facilitating
the prompt, flexible, and efficient use of
funds provided under these sections of
the Act to assist families who were
receiving housing assistance under the
Act immediately prior to Hurricane
Katrina or Rita and were displaced from
their housing by the hurricanes. In
addition to extending the PHA
submission deadline, this notice
removes the restriction that the
combined funding may not be spent for
uses under the housing choice voucher
(HCV) program. If approved by HUD,
the combined funding may now be used
for eligible purposes under the HCV
program. Any use of combined funds
under the HCV program must also be in
accordance with the requirement to
assist those families who were receiving
housing assistance under the public
housing or HCV program immediately
prior to Hurricane Katrina or Rita and
were displaced from their housing by
the hurricane. A PHA that already has
an approved Fungibility Plan may
request HUD approval to change the
Plan in order to use the combined funds
for HCV program eligible purposes. As
provided in the July 28, 2006 Federal
Register notice, PHAs must submit to
HUD requests for approval of any
substantial deviations from the
approved Fungibility Plan, and HUD
will respond to such requests within 10
calendar days.
DATES: Eligible PHAs must submit their
Notices of Intent and Fungibility Plans
no later than November 21, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
technical assistance and other questions
concerning the Notice of Intent and
Section 901 Fungibility Plan, PHAs
should contact their local HUD Public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On July 28, 2006 (71 FR 42996), HUD
published a notice entitled,
‘‘Implementation Guidance for Section
901 of the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations to Address Hurricanes
in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic
Influenza Act, 2006.’’ Section V.A. of
the July 28, 2006, notice, entitled,
‘‘General Procedures for Combining
Public Housing and Voucher Funds
Under Section 901,’’ instructs that PHAs
interested in implementing the
flexibility authorized in Section 901
should submit, in writing for HUD
review and approval, no later than 45
days from the date of the notice or
September 11, 2006: (1) A Notice of
Intent to invoke Section 901 flexibility
and (2) a detailed Section 901
Fungibility Plan describing the total
amount under Section 901, and the
source of those funds by account (HCV,
Operating Fund, Capital Fund).
Some eligible PHAs are facing
circumstances that precluded
submission of their Notices of Intent
and Fungibility plans by September 11,
2006, and require additional time to
determine whether program funds are
available to combine for other program
uses. Therefore, HUD has extended the
period during which eligible PHAs may
submit their Notices of Intent and
Fungibility Plans to no later than
November 21, 2006, in order to allow
sufficient time for HUD to review and
approve the plans. HUD strongly
recommends earlier submission, if
possible, in the event resubmission of
plans is required because of HUD’s
review determinations. HUD must
approve all plans, including those that
must be resubmitted, no later than
December 31, 2006.
In addition to extending the PHA
submission deadline, this notice
removes the restriction that the
combined funding may not be spent for
uses under the housing choice voucher
(HCV) program. If approved by HUD,
the combined funding may now be used

for eligible purposes under the HCV
program. Any use of combined funds
under the HCV program must also be in
accordance with the requirement to
assist those families who were receiving
housing assistance under the public
housing or HCV program immediately
prior to Hurricane Katrina or Rita and
were displaced from their housing by
the hurricane.
A PHA that already has an approved
Fungibility Plan may request HUD
approval to change the Plan in order to
use the combined funds for HCV
program eligible purposes. As provided

Fungibility Plans in Accordance With HUD's Implementation Guidance for
Section 901 of the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations To Address
Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic Influenza Act, 2006
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On July 28, 2006, HUD published a notice entitled,
``Implementation Guidance for Section 901 of the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and
Pandemic Influenza Act, 2006.'' This notice extends the period for
eligible public housing agencies (PHAs) located within the most heavily
impacted areas of Louisiana and Mississippi that are subject to a
declaration by the President of a major disaster under the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act in connection
with Hurricanes Katrina or Rita to submit Notices of Intent and
Fungibility Plans in accordance with the July 28, 2006, notice. Section
901 of the supplemental appropriations act authorizes PHAs to combine
assistance provided under sections 9(d) and (e) of the United States
Housing Act of 1937 (Act) and assistance provided under section 8(o) of
the Act, for the purpose of facilitating the prompt, flexible, and
efficient use of funds provided under these sections of the Act to
assist families who were receiving housing assistance under the Act
immediately prior to Hurricane Katrina or Rita and were displaced from
their housing by the hurricanes. In addition to extending the PHA
submission deadline, this notice removes the restriction that the
combined funding may not be spent for uses under the housing choice
voucher (HCV) program. If approved by HUD, the combined funding may now
be used for eligible purposes under the HCV program. Any use of
combined funds under the HCV program must also be in accordance with
the requirement to assist those families who were receiving housing
assistance under the public housing or HCV program immediately prior to
Hurricane Katrina or Rita and were displaced from their housing by the
hurricane. A PHA that already has an approved Fungibility Plan may
request HUD approval to change the Plan in order to use the combined
funds for HCV program eligible purposes. As provided in the July 28,
2006 Federal Register notice, PHAs must submit to HUD requests for
approval of any substantial deviations from the approved Fungibility
Plan, and HUD will respond to such requests within 10 calendar days.
DATES: Eligible PHAs must submit their Notices of Intent and
Fungibility Plans no later than November 21, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For technical assistance and other
questions concerning the Notice of Intent and Section 901 Fungibility
Plan, PHAs should contact their local HUD Public Housing Hub in New
Orleans, Louisiana, or Jackson, Mississippi; or Bessy Kong, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Policy, Program, and Legislative Initiatives,
Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4216, Washington, DC 20410-

Relay Service at (800) 877-8339.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On July 28, 2006 (71 FR 42996), HUD published a notice entitled,
``Implementation Guidance for Section 901 of the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and
Pandemic Influenza Act, 2006.'' Section V.A. of the July 28, 2006,
notice, entitled, ``General Procedures for Combining Public Housing and
Voucher Funds Under Section 901,'' instructs that PHAs interested in
implementing the flexibility authorized in Section 901 should submit,
in writing for HUD review and approval, no later than 45 days from the
date of the notice or September 11, 2006: (1) A Notice of Intent to
invoke Section 901 flexibility and (2) a detailed Section 901
Fungibility Plan describing the total amount under Section 901, and the
source of those funds by account (HCV, Operating Fund, Capital Fund).
Some eligible PHAs are facing circumstances that precluded
submission of their Notices of Intent and Fungibility plans by
September 11, 2006, and require additional time to determine whether
program funds are available to combine for other program uses.
Therefore, HUD has extended the period during which eligible PHAs may
submit their Notices of Intent and Fungibility Plans to no later than
November 21, 2006, in order to allow sufficient time for HUD to review
and approve the plans. HUD strongly recommends earlier submission, if
possible, in the event resubmission of plans is required because of
HUD's review determinations. HUD must approve all plans, including
those that must be resubmitted, no later than December 31, 2006.
In addition to extending the PHA submission deadline, this notice
removes the restriction that the combined funding may not be spent for
uses under the housing choice voucher (HCV) program. If approved by
HUD, the combined funding may now be used
[[Page 63341]]
for eligible purposes under the HCV program. Any use of combined funds
under the HCV program must also be in accordance with the requirement
to assist those families who were receiving housing assistance under
the public housing or HCV program immediately prior to Hurricane
Katrina or Rita and were displaced from their housing by the hurricane.
A PHA that already has an approved Fungibility Plan may request HUD
approval to change the Plan in order to use the combined funds for HCV
program eligible purposes. As provided in the July 28, 2006 Federal
Register Notice, PHAs must submit to HUD requests for approval of any
substantial deviations from the approved Fungibility Plan, and HUD will
respond to such requests within 10 calendar days.
Notices and Plans should be submitted to the following addresses
and contacts, as listed in the July 28, 2006, notice: PHAs should
submit one copy to the Public Housing Director of the HUD office in New
Orleans, Louisiana or Jackson, Mississippi, as applicable, and the
original to HUD Headquarters, Office of Public and Indian Housing,
Office of Policy, Program, and Legislative Initiatives, 451 Seventh
Street, SW., Room 4116, Washington, DC 20410-5000, Attention: Bessy
Kong/Sherry McCown.
