SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background A. Section 8 Project-Based Voucher Assistance—June 25, 2014, Final Rule On June 25, 2014, at 79 FR 36146, HUD published a final rule that amended the regulations governing the Section 8 Project-Based Voucher (PBV) program, largely due to changes made to the PBV program by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–289, approved July 30, 2008) (HERA). HERA made comprehensive and significant reforms to several HUD programs, including HUD’s Public Housing, Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher, and PBV programs. On November 24, 2008, at 73 FR 71037, HUD published a notice that provided information about the applicability of certain HERA provisions to these programs. The notice identified: (1) those statutory provisions that were selfexecuting and required no action on the part of HUD for the changes to be implemented; and (2) those statutory provisions that require new regulations or regulatory changes by HUD for the HERA provisions to be implemented. The notice also offered the opportunity for public comment on the guidance provided. HUD followed the November 2008 notice with a proposed rule published on May 15, 2012, at 77 FR 28742, that proposed to establish, in regulation, the reforms made by HERA solely to the Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher and PBV programs as discussed in the November 2008 notice, to make other related changes to the regulations, and to further solicit public comment. The final rule published on June 25, 2014, conformed the regulations of the Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher and PBV programs to the statutory program changes made by HERA, made other related changes to these regulations as discussed in the May 2012 proposed rule, and made further changes to the two voucher program regulations as a result of issues raised by public comment and certain clarifying changes determined needed by HUD. One of the changes made by the June 25, 2014, final rule pertained to labor standards. In the final rule, HUD updated the reference to labor standards provisions that are applicable to assistance under the PBV program to remove the reference to labor standards ‘‘applicable to an Agreement’’ covering nine or more assisted units and substitute a reference to labor standards E:\FR\FM\09MRN1.SGM 09MRN1
