Update Random Digit Dialing (RDD) surveys were completed in October 2008 for the following FMR areas: New Orleans— Metairie—Kenner, LA MSA, Hattiesburg, MS MSA, and Pearl River County, MS. These RDDs were begun in August 2008 but were interrupted by Hurricane Ike and so not completed until October 2008. The RDD survey for Hattiesburg, MS indicated a slight decline in rents in that metropolitan area, but the difference in rents was within the confidence interval of the survey result so no change in the FMR is indicated. Survey results for Pearl River show an increase in market rents over the published FY2009 FMR. New Orleans was surveyed at the request of program sponsors in response to evidence that the New Orleans rental market and the Section 8 program were being adversely affected by the FMR bonus applied to the New Orleans FMR in FY2006 to facilitate program operations after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The New Orleans survey indicates that current market rents in New Orleans are lower than the FY2009 FMR published on September 29, 2008. This revision to the New Orleans FMR effectively eliminates the Katrinarelated bonus in New Orleans. Because the rental market appears to be working again in New Orleans, return of the New Orleans FMR to its market level is warranted.

Update

    Random Digit Dialing (RDD) surveys were completed in October 2008 
for the following FMR areas: New Orleans--Metairie--Kenner, LA MSA, 
Hattiesburg, MS MSA, and Pearl River County, MS. These RDDs were begun 
in August 2008 but were interrupted by Hurricane Ike and so not 
completed until October 2008. The RDD survey for Hattiesburg, MS 
indicated a slight decline in rents in that metropolitan area, but the 
difference in rents was within the confidence interval of the survey 
result so no change in the FMR is indicated. Survey results for Pearl 
River show an increase in market rents over the published FY2009 FMR.
    New Orleans was surveyed at the request of program sponsors in 
response to evidence that the New Orleans rental market and the Section 
8 program were being adversely affected by the FMR bonus applied to the 
New Orleans FMR in FY2006 to facilitate program operations after 
hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The New Orleans survey indicates that 
current market rents in New Orleans are lower than the FY2009 FMR 
published on September 29, 2008. This revision to the New Orleans FMR 
effectively eliminates the Katrina-related bonus in New Orleans. 
Because the rental market appears to be working again in New Orleans, 
return of the New Orleans FMR to its market level is warranted.
    The FMR for the affected areas are updated as follows:
