Notice of Modification to the
Demonstration To Assess the National

of Real Estate and Associated
Protocols
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Housing; Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing, U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development
(HUD).
ACTION: Demonstration modification.
AGENCY:
Through this notification,
HUD announces changes to the
Demonstration to Assess the National
Standards for the Physical Inspection of
Real Estate and Associated Protocols
(NSPIRE). This demonstration allows
HUD to test the NSPIRE standards and
protocols as the means for assessing the
physical conditions of HUD-assisted
and HUD-insured housing. Through this
notification, HUD is informing
Demonstration participants who are
subject to HUD’s Multifamily Housing
program that Demonstration
participants will receive an inspection
of record through the NSPIRE
demonstration unless they opt out of the
demonstration, in which case they will
receive an inspection of record through
the Uniform Physical Condition
Standards (UPCS). HUD is also revising
this demonstration so that the
demonstration ends on the effective date
of the NSPIRE final rule.
DATES: This demonstration modification
is effective January 25, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
21, 2019 (84 FR 43536), the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development published a document
implementing the ‘‘Demonstration To
Assess the National Standards for the
Physical Inspection of Real Estate and
Associated Protocols.’’ (‘‘the 2019
document’’). Through this
demonstration, HUD is collecting,
processing, and evaluating physical
inspection data and information, and is
improving and refining the NSPIRE
model. On September 28, 2021 (86 FR
53570), HUD extended this
demonstration through October 1, 2021.
During this demonstration,
participants have not received an
inspection of record, meaning the result
of the inspection is provisional and does
not result in a traditional score that is
recorded in Multifamily Housing’s
system of record, the Integrated Real
Estate Management System (iREMS).
Because the demonstration has been
running since 2019, demonstration
participants have not received an
inspection of record for several years,
longer than HUD intended when HUD
initially established the demonstration.
Therefore, HUD seeks to prioritize
providing demonstration participants an
inspection of record. Through this
notification, HUD is informing
Multifamily Housing program
participants who are currently in this
demonstration and have yet to receive
an inspection of record since joining the
demonstration that between April 1,
2023, and September 30, 2023, HUD
intends to conduct an inspection using
the NSPIRE standards and scoring and
that this inspection will be considered
an inspection of record.
Demonstration participants who do
not wish to be subject to an NSPIRE
inspection of record before October 1,
2023, may choose to opt out of the
NSPIRE demonstration by submitting a
request via email to NSPIRE-Demo-OptOut@hud.gov no later than March 1,
2023. Demonstration participants who
opt out of the demonstration will be
subject to a UPCS inspection of record.
Additionally, through this
notification, HUD is revising the end of
this demonstration to align with the
NSPIRE final rule. The demonstration
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

will end for Public Housing participants
on June 30, 2023, the day before HUD
intends to begin inspections under
NSPIRE for Public Housing, and the
demonstration will end for Multifamily
Housing participants on September 30,
2023, one day before the day HUD
intends the NSPIRE final rule to take
effect for Multifamily Housing. HUD
will provide additional notice through
Federal Register notice should these
dates change.
This Notification provides operating
instructions and procedures in
connection with activities under a
Federal Register document that has
previously been subject to a required
environmental review. Accordingly,
under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(4), this
Notification is categorically excluded
from environmental review under the
National Environmental Policy Act (42
U.S.C. 4321, et seq.)

SUMMARY:
In 1964, a
Code of Professional Conduct for Labor
Mediators was drafted by a FederalState Liaison Committee and approved
by the Federal Mediation and

a final rule entitled ‘‘Code of
Professional Conduct for Labor
Mediators.’’ This final rule adopted and
codified the Code of Conduct for Labor
Mediators. This Code has not been
updated in nearly sixty years and no
longer reflects the agency’s values,
scope of services provided by FMCS
mediators, or best practices for conflict
management and resolution services.
Therefore, FMCS is creating a new code
of professional conduct and is updating
this rule to reference this internal Code
of Professional Conduct for FMCS
Mediators.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 13, 2022, the Postal Service
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (87 FR 76170–76171) to
clarify the refund policy for customers
who qualified for a Group ‘‘E’’ (free)
P.O. Box. The Postal Service did not
receive any customer comments.
To ensure uniform treatment of
customers who were not provided
Group E P.O. Box service, the Postal
Service is providing a refund policy if
it has been determined that a customer
paying for P.O. Box service is entitled to
Group E P.O. Box service. A refund of
prorated fees may be issued for each full
consecutive month preceding the
determination, up to a maximum of 24
months. Interest will not be paid on the
amount refunded.
The Postal Service is also making a
minor revision to the text in subsection
508.4.5.2c for clarity in the standard and
in subsection 604.9.0 to establish a link
to the P.O. Box fee refund standards in
subsection 508.4.6.
We believe the proposed revisions
will provide customers with a more
efficient mailing experience.
The Postal Service adopts the
following changes to Mailing Standards
of the United States Postal Service,
Domestic Mail Manual (DMM),
incorporated by reference in the Code of
Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR 111.1.
