HUD Acquisition Regulation (HUDAR) Debarment and Suspension Procedures; Correcting Amendment
Document Number: E9-20833
Type: Rule
Date: 2009-08-31
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
This document amends HUD's regulations on debarment, suspension and ineligibility to correct cross-references to reflect changes made in previous rulemakings. A final rule, which was published on October 29, 2007, amended HUD's Acquisition Regulation (HUDAR), codified at title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), to include the debarment and suspension procedures specifically applicable to HUD's procurement contracts. Subsequent to the October 2007 final rule, HUD issued regulations that moved HUD's debarment and suspension regulations from 24 CFR part 24 to 2 CFR part 2424. At that time, HUD also adopted, by cross-reference, the governmentwide debarment and suspension regulations at 2 CFR part 180.
Refinement of Income and Rent Determination Requirements in Public and Assisted Housing Programs; Delay of Effective Date
Document Number: E9-20879
Type: Rule
Date: 2009-08-28
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
HUD is delaying the effective date of the rule entitled ``Refinement of Income and Rent Determination Requirements in Public and Assisted Housing Programs'' published in the Federal Register on January 27, 2009. The January 27, 2009, final rule, which was scheduled to become effective on September 30, 2009, will become effective on January 31, 2010. Today's action will provide the Department with the necessary additional time to review the subject matter of the January 27, 2009, final rule and to consider the public comments on HUD's February 11, 2009, Federal Register notice that solicited public comments on the regulatory amendments made by the January 27, 2009 final rule.
Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects
Document Number: E9-20831
Type: Rule
Date: 2009-08-28
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
This final rule removes a HUD regulation that prohibits the use of project labor agreements in HUD-assisted construction contracts. Executive Order 13502, entitled ``Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects,'' and signed by President Obama on February 6, 2009, revoked Executive Order 13202, which had prohibited federal agencies from requiring or prohibiting project labor agreements as a condition for award of any federally funded contract or subcontract for construction. Executive Order 13502, which applies to direct federal procurement of construction, encourages federal agencies to consider requiring the use of project labor agreements in connection with federally procured large-scale construction projects. The Executive Order also allows the use of project labor agreements in circumstances not covered by the Order, including projects receiving federal financial assistance.

Proposed Fair Market Rents for the Housing Choice Voucher Program and Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy Program Fiscal Year 2010
Document Number: E9-18507
Type: Notice
Date: 2009-08-04
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Section 8(c)(1) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (USHA) requires the Secretary to publish FMRs periodically, but not less than annually, adjusted to be effective on October 1 of each year. Today's notice proposes FMRs for FY 2010 to be used: to determine payment standard amounts for the Housing Choice Voucher program, to determine initial renewal rents for some expiring project-based Section 8 contracts, and to determine initial rents for housing assistance payment (HAP) contracts in the Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy program. Other programs may require use of FMRs for other purposes. The proposed FY 2010 FMR areas are based on current Office of Management and Budget (OMB) metropolitan area definitions and include HUD modifications that were first used in the determination of FY 2006 FMR areas. OMB changes to the metropolitan area definitions through November 2008 are incorporated. Three Micropolitan areas that became Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) are included here as HUD Metropolitan Statistical Areas without modification.\1\ Proposed FY 2010 FMRs are based on 2000 Census data updated with more current survey data. For FY 2010, FY 2009 FMRs are updated using 2007 American Community Survey (ACS) data and more recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) rent and utility indexes. HUD continues to use ACS data in different ways according to how many two-bedroom standard-quality and recent- mover sample cases are available in the FMR area or its Core-Based Statistical Area (CBSA).
