Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 201 / Wednesday, October 17, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
‘‘relocation payments under 25 U.S.C.
1408 are treated as assets.’’ We make no
substantive change because the statute
cited, section 1408, pertains to interests
of American Indians in trusts or
restricted lands and is listed in final
§ 3.279(b)(2), where we note such
payments are excluded from income (up
to $2,000 per year) and assets.’’
6. On page 47261, third column, in
the fifth paragraph, the first sentence is
corrected to read as follows:
‘‘However, the commenter goes on to
quote from 42 U.S.C. 4636, which is the
basis of the relocation payment
exclusion listed at final § 3.279(a)(1).’’
7. On page 47262, first column, in the
first full paragraph, second sentence is
corrected to read as follows:
‘‘This payment type was listed as an
income exclusion at proposed
§ 3.279(d)(1) and is now at final
§ 3.279(c)(1).’’
8. On page 47262, first column, in the
first full paragraph, the fourth sentence
is corrected to read as follows:
‘‘Therefore, the only substantive
change we make here is to update the
statutory citation.’’
9. On page 47262, first column, the
second paragraph is corrected to read as
follows:
‘‘Similarly, the same commenter
stated that payments to AmeriCorps
participants, listed as an exclusion from
income at proposed § 3.279(d)(2),
should not be considered an asset for
the annualization period in which the
payment is received. Since the statutory
authority for this exclusion, 42 U.S.C.
12637(d), does not authorize the
exclusion of these payments from assets,
we make no substantive changes based
on this comment.’’
10. On page 47263, first column, in
the first paragraph under the heading
‘‘3. Distribution and Derivation Tables
for Exclusions,’’ the fifth sentence is
corrected to read as follows:
‘‘The derivation table here corrects
one error from the table providing this
information in the proposed rule, and
updates the paragraphs in accord with
the recharacterization of proposed
paragraphs (b) through (e) discussed
above.’’
