Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 108 / Wednesday, June 5, 2019 / Notices
IV. Request for Public Comments on
Changes
HUD continually strives to calculate
FMRs that can serve as an effective
program parameter while meeting the
statutory requirement to use ‘‘the most
recent available data.’’
These methodology changes are not
monodirectional; for example, the use of
local forecast trend factors will cause
FMRs to be higher in some areas and
lower in others compared to using a
national forecast trend factor. HUD is
particularly interested in receiving
comments on its intended approach for
evaluating the accuracy of local trend
factors using the RMSE and is interested
in potential alternative methods for
assessing the best local forecast model
to select.
Hypothetical FY 2019 FMRs and
Small Area FMRs, using these new
methodology changes, are published at
https://www.huduser.gov/portal/
datasets/fmr.html#2020_documents.
V. Environmental Impact
This notice proposes changes in the
way FMRs are calculated and does not
constitute a development decision
affecting the physical condition of
specific project areas or building sites.
Accordingly, under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(6),
this notice is categorically excluded
from environmental review under the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321).
Dated: May 29, 2019.

General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy
Development and Research.
