Background On June 20, 2013 (78 FR 37106), HUD published a final rule amending regulations governing the Section 202 and Section 811 programs to streamline requirements for mixed finance developments and to amend other regulations for these programs. One amendment the rule made was to extend E:\FR\FM\15AUR1.SGM 15AUR1 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 158 / Thursday, August 15, 2013 / Rules and Regulations the duration of availability of fund reservations for capital advances from 18 months to 24 months, with the option of extending this period to 36 months, as approved by HUD on a caseby-case basis.

In paragraph (a), revise the phrase ‘‘24 months from the date of initial closing’’ to read ‘‘24 months from the date of issuance of the award letter to the date of initial closing’’. II. Technical Corrections After publication of the final rule, it came to HUD’s attention that there was an error in the regulatory text. The final rule amended 24 CFR 891.165(a) so that ‘‘the duration of the fund reservation for a capital advance with construction advances is 24 months from the date of initial closing . . .’’ (Emphasis added). However, the language in 24 CFR 891.165(a) should read that the duration of the fund reservation is 24 months from the date of issuance of the award letter to the date of initial closing. The preamble to the proposed rule (77 FR 18723) noted that the regulations then governing the duration of the availability of capital advance funds limited the duration of the fund reservations for the capital advances to 18 months from the date of issuance of the fund reservation award (77 FR at 18726). The preamble went on to note that the purpose of extending this duration was to enable owners to focus on projects to ensure that they reach initial closing and start construction within 24 months (77 FR at 18726). This makes it clear that the intent of the rule is to extend the duration of the fund reservation for a capital advance from the date of issuance of the award letter so that owners could reach initial closing, and not to extend the time after the date of initial closing. This rule makes a technical correction to the final rule to fulfill that intent.

ACTION: Final and temporary regulations. AGENCY: This document contains final and temporary regulations that provide guidance to charitable hospital organizations regarding the requirement of a return to accompany payment of the excise tax, enacted as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, for failure to meet the community health needs assessment (CHNA) requirements for any taxable year. The regulations affect charitable hospital organizations. This action is necessary to implement section 9007(b) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. The text of the temporary regulations also serves as the text of the proposed regulations set forth in the notice of proposed rulemaking on this subject in the Proposed Rules section in this issue of the Federal Register. DATES: Effective Date: These regulations are effective on August 15, 2013. Applicability Date: For dates of applicability, see §§ 53.6011–1T(g) and 53.6071–1T(i) of these regulations. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy F. Giuliano at (202) 622–6070 (not a toll-free number). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Background The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111–148 (124 Stat. 119 (2010)), added sections 501(r) and 4959 to the Internal Revenue Code (Code). A hospital organization seeking to obtain or maintain tax-exempt status as a charitable organization described in section 501(c)(3) must comply with the PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 49681 requirements of section 501(r), including the requirement to conduct a CHNA under section 501(r)(3). Section 501(r)(2)(A)(i) defines a hospital organization to which section 501(r) applies as including any organization that operates a facility that is required by a state to be licensed, registered, or similarly recognized as a hospital. Section 501(r)(2)(B)(i) requires a hospital organization that operates more than one hospital facility to meet the requirements of section 501(r) separately with respect to each hospital facility. Section 501(r)(3) requires hospital organizations to conduct a CHNA at least once every three years and adopt an implementation strategy to meet the community health needs identified through the CHNA. The requirements of section 501(r)(3) are effective for taxable years beginning after March 23, 2012. Section 4959 imposes a tax equal to $50,000 if a hospital organization to which section 501(r) applies fails to meet the requirements of section 501(r)(3) for any taxable year. A hospital organization fails to meet the requirements of section 501(r)(3) for any taxable year if the hospital organization fails to conduct a CHNA and adopt an implementation strategy during the three-year period ending on the last day of any taxable year of the hospital organization. For example, a hospital organization reporting on a calendar year basis that operates only one hospital facility and that fails to conduct a CHNA by the last day of 2013, and that also did not conduct a CHNA in 2011 or 2012, will be subject to the tax under section 4959 with respect to that facility for its 2013 taxable year. The same hospital organization that fails to conduct a CHNA in 2014 also will be subject to a tax under section 4959 with respect to that facility for its 2014 taxable year (for failure to meet the CHNA requirements during the threeyear period ending on the last day of 2014). See Joint Committee on Taxation, Technical Explanation of the Revenue Provisions of the ‘‘Reconciliation Act of 2010’’ As Amended, in Combination With the ‘‘Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’’ (JCX–18–10) (March 21, 2010), at 83 fn. 192 (and accompanying text). Section 6011 generally requires any person liable for tax imposed by the Code to make a return or statement according to the forms and regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Section 6071 generally provides that return filing dates are prescribed by regulation. Section 6151 generally provides that a tax must be paid when the return reporting the tax E:\FR\FM\15AUR1.SGM 15AUR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    On June 20, 2013 (78 FR 37106), HUD published a final rule amending 
regulations governing the Section 202 and Section 811 programs to 
streamline requirements for mixed finance developments and to amend 
other regulations for these programs. One amendment the rule made was 
to extend

[[Page 49681]]

the duration of availability of fund reservations for capital advances 
from 18 months to 24 months, with the option of extending this period 
to 36 months, as approved by HUD on a case-by-case basis. This final 
rule followed a March 28, 2012 (77 FR 18723) proposed rule. The final 
rule became effective on July 22, 2013.

II. Technical Corrections

    After publication of the final rule, it came to HUD's attention 
that there was an error in the regulatory text. The final rule amended 
24 CFR 891.165(a) so that ``the duration of the fund reservation for a 
capital advance with construction advances is 24 months from the date 
of initial closing . . .'' (Emphasis added). However, the language in 
24 CFR 891.165(a) should read that the duration of the fund reservation 
is 24 months from the date of issuance of the award letter to the date 
of initial closing.
    The preamble to the proposed rule (77 FR 18723) noted that the 
regulations then governing the duration of the availability of capital 
advance funds limited the duration of the fund reservations for the 
capital advances to 18 months from the date of issuance of the fund 
reservation award (77 FR at 18726). The preamble went on to note that 
the purpose of extending this duration was to enable owners to focus on 
projects to ensure that they reach initial closing and start 
construction within 24 months (77 FR at 18726). This makes it clear 
that the intent of the rule is to extend the duration of the fund 
reservation for a capital advance from the date of issuance of the 
award letter so that owners could reach initial closing, and not to 
extend the time after the date of initial closing. This rule makes a 
technical correction to the final rule to fulfill that intent.

List of Subjects in 24 CFR Part 891

    Aged, Grant programs--housing and community development, 
Individuals with disabilities, Loan programs--housing and community 
development, Rent subsidies, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    Accordingly, HUD amends 24 CFR part 891 as follows:
