Title: Voluntary Customer Survey.
OMB Number: Will be assigned upon

Abstract: Customs and Border

customer survey of international
travelers seeking entry into the United
States at the twenty highest volume
airports in order to determine
perceptions of the arrival process at our
ports of entry. This voluntary customer
survey will be conducted through short
verbal surveys of travelers as they move
through entry processing areas.
Travelers who do not speak English will
be given a written version of the survey
in their language and may submit their
responses in writing. The survey will
include questions about wait times, ease
of entry processing, and the level of
communication, efficiency and
professionalism of CBP officers. The
results and analysis of the survey
responses will be used to identify
actionable items to improve services to
the traveling public with respect to the
entry processes for travelers arriving at
United States air ports of entry.
Current Actions: This submission is
being made to establish a new collection
of information.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND

[Docket No. FR–5323–N–03]
Final Notice on Ending the ‘‘HoldHarmless’’ Policy in Calculating
Section 8 Income Limits Under the
United States Housing Act of 1937
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Policy Development and
Research, HUD.
ACTION: Final notice.
SUMMARY: Today’s notice announces
that HUD will allow Section 8 income
limits to decrease beginning with the
Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 income limits, but
will limit all annual decreases to no
more than 5 percent and limit all annual
increases to 5 percent or twice the
change in national median family
income, whichever is greater. This
notice follows notices of September 14,
2009, and October 7, 2009, that solicited
public comment on HUD’s proposal to
discontinue its ‘‘hold-harmless’’ policy.
HUD’s hold-harmless policy maintained
Section 8 income limits for certain areas
at previously published levels when
reductions would otherwise have
resulted from changes in median family
income estimates, housing cost
adjustment data, median family income
update methodology, income limit
methodology, or metropolitan area
definitions. HUD has also decided that
rents used in its HOME Investment
Partnerships program (HOME) will
continue to be held harmless and that
income limits for rural housing
programs will continue their current
hold-harmless policy, based on different
area definitions.
DATES: Effective Date: May 17, 2010.

methodology used to develop income
limits and median family income

estimates, please call the HUD USER
information line at 800–245–2691 or
access the information on the HUD Web
site, https://www.huduser.org/portal/
datasets/il.html. That Web site lists
current and historical income limits.
Furthermore, HUD maintains an
interactive on-line documentation
system for income limits and median
family income estimates. The
documentation system provides
interested users with their income limits
prior to the application of the holdharmless policy in areas currently being
held harmless. The FY 2009
documentation system may be accessed
at https://www.huduser.org/portal/
datasets/il/index_il2009.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The September 14, 2009,
Notice
On September 14, 2009, HUD
published a notice in the Federal
Register (74 FR 47016) seeking public
comment on the impact of eliminating
the hold-harmless policy for Section 8
income limits while continuing this
policy for rents in the HOME program.1
1 Section 3(b)(2) of the United States Housing Act
of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437a(b)(2)) (1937 Act) provides
for assisted housing for ‘‘low-income families’’ and
‘‘very low-income families,’’ and defines these terms
as families whose incomes are below 80 percent
and 50 percent, respectively, of the median family
income for the area with adjustments for family
size. These income limits are referred to as ‘‘Section
8 income limits’’ because of the historical and
statutory links with that program, although the
same income limits are also used as eligibility
criteria by several other Federal programs. The 1937
Act specifies conditions under which Section 8
income limits are to be adjusted either on a
designated area basis or because of unusually high
or low family incomes or housing-cost-to-income
relationships. Section 8 income limits are
calculated using Section 8 Fair Market Rent (FMR)
area definitions, which in turn are based on Office
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
In the September 14, 2009, notice, HUD
stated that through FY 2009, it would
continue its policy of maintaining
Section 8 income limits for HUD rental
subsidy programs at the previously
published level in cases where HUD’s
estimate of area median family income
or housing cost adjustment data, or
changes in calculation methodology,
would lead to a lower income limit than
was previously published. This holdharmless policy was implemented to
avoid jeopardizing the financial
feasibility of existing housing projects in
instances where program rents were tied
to Section 8 income limits. Under the
hold-harmless policy, Section 8 income
limits would be maintained until such
a time as income limit calculations
produced increases.
The primary Federal housing
programs that rely on Section 8 income
limits other than the Section 8 Voucher
program are multifamily tax subsidy
projects (MTSPs) financed with lowincome housing tax credits (LIHTCs)
under section 42 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (IRC) and tax-exempt
private activity bonds under section 142
of the IRC. Under these programs,
maximum rents for units in MTSPs are
generally 30 percent of the HUDpublished Section 8 income limit for a
four-person household, adjusted by the
number of bedrooms in a unit. MTSPs
use of Section 8 income limits to
determine rents was HUD’s principal
reason for establishing the holdharmless policy; otherwise, when
Section 8 income limits fall, the
maximum rent that private owners can
charge low-income tenants in the
MTSPs falls, which may place a
financial strain on existing MTSPs.
MTSP rents, however, are now
protected from falling under the
Housing and Economic Recovery Act of
2008 (Pub. L. 110–289, approved July
30, 2008) (HERA).
HERA eliminates the need for HUD to
continue its hold-harmless policy for
the benefit of MTSPs. Specifically,
Section 3009 of HERA amended IRC
section 142(d) (26 U.S.C. 142 (note)) by
implementing a statutory project-level
hold-harmless provision for existing
MTSPs. The provision applies to all
MTSP projects and is not limited to
projects benefiting from the HUD holdharmless policy. As a result of this
provision, determinations of area
median gross income with respect to the
project may not be less than the
determination with respect to the
project made for the preceding year.
Section 3009 also provides additional
of Management and Budget metropolitan statistical
area definitions.
