Title of Proposal: Study of the LowIncome Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)
Program After 15 Years.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Low-Income Housing Tax Credit
(LIHTC), enacted in 1987, supports the
production of rental housing to be
occupied by low income renters, usually
those with incomes less than 60 percent
of area median income. LIHTC has
become the federal government’s largest
program that subsidizes the
development of affordable rental
housing and has produced more than
1.8 million units.
HUD has overall responsibility for
housing policy for low-income renters
within the federal government and
recognizes the significance of the LIHTC
program. HUD’s Office of Policy
Development and Research has
commissioned this study about what
happened to LIHTC properties after the
first 15 years, when the original use
restrictions for properties that received
tax credit allocations before 1990
expired, and when some tax credit
properties funded after that date also
were able to leave the program. The
study represents an important
opportunity for HUD to learn about the
decisions owners and investors made
with regard to LIHTC properties that
reached the 15 year mark, whether
properties no longer subject to LIHTC
income and rent restrictions nonetheless
continue to provide affordable housing
for low-income renters, and whether
properties still in the program are
performing well financially. The
answers to these questions are
important for the million LIHTC units
that will pass their 15 year mark over
the next 10 years. The answers also will
illuminate how use restrictions for
subsidized rental housing work and
how policy makers should think about
them in the design of future programs.
A survey of LIHTC property owners is
planned for the fall 2010 and is the
subject of this notice. Owners play a key
role in the maintenance and disposition
of tax credit properties, making the final
decisions on next steps with a property
once it reaches the 15 year mark. The
survey will collect data on LIHTC
property owners’ experience with the
LIHTC program, gathering information
that factored into property disposition
decisions. Data will also be collected on
whether projects were sold and whether
projects continued as affordable rental
housing.
Members of affected public: 40
randomly sampled LIHTC property
owners.
Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection, including the number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: The owner survey
will take approximately 60 minutes per
respondent to complete.

Record of Decision

National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (Pub. L. 91–190, as amended) and
the regulations promulgated by the
Council on Environmental Quality (40
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:22 May 10, 2010
Jkt 220001
CFR 1505.2), the Department of the
Interior, National Park Service (NPS)
has prepared and approved a Record of
Decision for the Final Environmental
Impact Statement for development of a
new environmental education center in
Yosemite National Park. The requisite
no-action ‘‘wait period’’ was initiated
February 26, 2010, with the
Environmental Protection Agency’s
Federal Register notification of the
filing of the Final EIS.
Decision: As soon as practical the NPS
will begin to implement development of
a new environmental education center
at Henness Ridge, to be operated jointly
by NPS and Yosemite Institute. The new
center replaces the current facility at
Crane Flat—it will be on federal
property and owned by the NPS. As part
of the project a water system will be
developed by the NPS at nearby
Chinquapin. This alternative was
identified and analyzed as the agencypreferred Alternative 3 in the Final EIS
(and includes no substantive changes
from the course of action described in
the Draft EIS). The full ranges of
foreseeable environmental
consequences were assessed, and

appropriate mitigation measures are
included in the approved plan. Both a
No Action alternative and an additional
‘‘action’’ alternative were also identified
and analyzed. During an extended
scoping period, strong community
support was expressed for concepts that
were developed as the agency-preferred
alternative presented in the Draft EIS.
This base of support was reaffirmed
during public review of the Draft EIS.
As documented in the Draft and Final
EIS, the selected alternative was deemed
to be the ‘‘environmentally preferred’’
course of action.
