Agency Information Collection Activities; Revision of a Currently Approved Collection: E-Verify Program, 73351-73352 [2023-23618]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 25, 2023 / Notices Based on a current evaluation of the information collection, we have adjusted the burden estimate. Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an overall increase of 2,687 hours and a corresponding increase of 2,687 responses. CDER has instituted electronic certificates of pharmaceutical product (eCPP) to streamline the application process and reduce the time from receipt to issuance of export certificates. The increase in CDER export application requests is attributable to the implementation of the eCPP and an increase in drug exports. The increase is offset by a decrease in CVM and CBER export applications attributable to consequences of the pandemic. Dated: October 20, 2023. Lauren K. Roth, Associate Commissioner for Policy.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: In 2016, HUD completed a final rule requiring the use of Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs) in certain metropolitan areas to use in the administration of the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. These areas were based on certain selection criteria and values. These criteria are: at least 2,500 HCVs must be under lease in the metropolitan FMR area; at least 20 percent of the standard quality rental stock within the metropolitan FMR area is in small areas (ZIP codes) where the Small Area FMR is more than 110 percent of the metropolitan FMR; the percentage of voucher families living in concentrated low-income areas within the area must be at least 25 percent; the measure of the percentage of voucher holders living in concentrated lowincome areas relative to all renters within these areas over the entire metropolitan area exceeds 155 percent (or 1.55); and the vacancy rate for the metropolitan area is higher than 4 percent. This notice lists the metropolitan areas that will be subject to Small Area FMRs based on the final rule’s requirement that HUD ‘‘make new SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 area designations every 5 years thereafter as new data becomes available.’’ DATES: Implementation date: October 1, 2024.

Background On November 16, 2016, HUD published a final rule entitled ‘‘Establishing a More Effective Fair Market Rent (FMR) System; Using Small Area Fair Market Rents (Small Area FMRs) in Housing Choice Voucher Program Instead of the Current 50th Percentile FMRs’’ (81 FR 80567) (‘‘final rule’’ or ‘‘Small Area FMRs final rule’’). As HUD explained in the 2016 Rule, Small Area FMRs complement HUD’s other efforts to support households in making informed choices about units and neighborhoods with the goal of increasing the share of households that choose to use their vouchers in low poverty opportunity areas. In the final rule, HUD announced amendments to HUD’s FMR regulations applicable to the HCV program. Also on November 16, 2016, HUD published a Federal Register notice entitled ‘‘Small Area Fair Market Rents in Housing Choice Voucher Program Values for Selection Criteria and Metropolitan Areas Subject to Small Area Fair Market Rents’’ (81 FR 80678) (‘‘November 2016 notice’’) which established the values for the selection criteria and listed the initial metropolitan areas that are subject to SAFMRs implemented through the Small Area FMRs final rule. The final rule included a requirement that HUD make new area designations every 5 years as new data becomes E:\FR\FM\25OCN1.SGM 25OCN1
