published a Request for Information in
the Federal Register to solicit public
comments on Federal, State, local, and
Tribal laws, regulations, land use
requirements, and administrative
practices that artificially raise the costs
of affordable housing development and
contribute to shortages in housing
supply. HUD published this Request for
Information consistent with Executive
Order 13878, ‘‘Establishing a White
House Council on Eliminating
Regulatory Barriers to Affordable
Housing,’’ dated June 25, 2019 (84 FR
30853). Interested readers should refer
to the supplementary information of the
November 22, 2019 Request for
Information for additional information
on Executive Order 13878 and the
specific information requested by HUD.
HUD’s November 22, 2019 Request for
Information established a comment due
date of January 21, 2020. In response to
recent requests for additional time to
submit public comments, HUD believes
an extension of the deadline would
provide the time needed for Federal,
State, local, and Tribal government
officials and relevant stakeholders to
submit comments and provide the
specific information requested.
Therefore, HUD is announcing through
this notice an extended public comment
period, for an additional 10-day period,
to January 31, 2020.
Dated: January 8, 2020.
