Notice of Annual Factors for
Determining Public Housing Agency
Administrative Fees for the Section 8
Housing Choice Voucher and Moderate
Rehabilitation Programs
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
A. Purpose and Substantive Description
This Federal Register Notice provides
the Department’s methodology to
determine the Calendar Year 2012
administrative fees rates by area, which
the Office of Housing Voucher Programs
(OHVP) will utilize to compensate
public housing agencies (PHAs) for
administering the Housing Choice
Voucher (HCV) program. PIH Notice
2012–9 entitled, Implementation of the
Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Funding
Provision for the Housing Choice
Voucher Program, issued on February 8,
2012,1 describes the settlement process
for this compensation, which will be a
result of the mandate enacted in the
‘‘Consolidated and Furthering
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012’’
(Pub. L. 112–55, approved November
18, 2011) (FY 2012 Appropriation Act).
B. Methodology History
This Notice announces the
monthly per unit fee amounts for use in
determining the on-going administrative
fee for housing agencies administering
the rental voucher and moderate
rehabilitation programs, including
Single Room Occupancy during
Calendar Year (CY) 2012.
DATES: Effective Date: January 1, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Miguel Fontanez, Director, Housing
Voucher Financial Management
Division, Office of Public Housing and
Voucher Programs, Office of Public and
Indian Housing, Department of Housing
and Urban Development, Room 4222,

402–2934. (This is not a toll-free
number). Hearing or speech impaired
individuals may call TTY number 800–
877–8337.
SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Section 8 Administrative Fees are
based on the higher of the FY 1993 Fair
Market Rent (FMR) for a two-bedroom
unit in a PHA’s market area or the FY
1994 FMR for a two-bedroom unit, but
not more than 103.5 percent of the FY
1993 FMR. This Fee Base is also subject
to a $428 minimum and a $811
maximum. (The average FMR in 1993
was $555).
FMR areas (Fee Base areas) were
updated in 2005 to new OMB
metropolitan area definitions. Where a
new metropolitan area is made up of
more than one old metropolitan area,
the fee base for the largest of the old
areas in the new area was used.
Prior to 2005, the Quality Housing
and Work Responsibility Act of 1998
(Pub. L. 105–276) (QHWRA) required
renewals to be based on the per unit
cost from a PHA’s latest year-end
settlement statement for 100 percent of
expiring annual contribution contract
(ACC) units. Since then, HUD has made

changes to how it calculates the
administrative fees for PHAs
administering the Section 8 programs.
These changes have been caused by
budgetary mandates rather than research
on what it actually costs to administer
a well-run program.
When the voucher program was
introduced, administrative fees were set
at 6.5% of the two-bedroom FMR.
Administrative Fees had three
components, ongoing, preliminary, and
hard-to-house fees. In FY 2003, a flat fee
was implemented, which was calculated
based on the amount each PHA was
eligible to receive in CY 2003. This
calculation used the Column A and
Column B published rates to determine
the fees. This change meant that PHAs
would receive a set amount regardless of
leasing. This methodology for
calculating administrative fees was the
basis for determining fee funding in
2004 through 2007.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2008 (Pub. L. 110–161, approved
December 26, 2007), changed the
methodology again for calculating fees
back to Section 8 (q) pre-QHWRA where
fees are now based on the leasing
reported in the Voucher Management
System. This same methodology has
been applied in each year since 2007
because Congress has continued to
require that the same standard be used
in the relevant appropriations acts.
The Fee Base numbers are updated
annually using Bureau of Labor
Statistics data on average local
government wages at the State
metropolitan and nonmetropolitan
level. The Congress has changed the
percentage of the fee base used to
reimburse administrative costs three
times since the current system was
established. The following chart shows
the history of admin fee rates for
Column A and Column B.
