Department of Housing and Urban Development April 5, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

HUD is seeking approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the information collection described below. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, HUD is requesting comment from all interested parties on the proposed collection of information. The purpose of this notice is to allow for 60 days of public comment.

As part of the Department's continuing effort to implement Executive Orders 13771, ``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs,'' and 13777, ``Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,'' this notice announces that the Department has completed a comprehensive review of all administrative guidance and that certain guidance documents deemed unnecessary and obsolete will be removed from HUD's program websites. The removal of this unnecessary and obsolete guidance material will reduce compliance burdens, promote regulatory analysis, fair notice and administrative due process. This is the first phase of document removal; HUD anticipates a second phase of removal of obsolete guidance. The removal of this material will make it easier for HUD constituents and members of the public seeking to determine the guidance that currently applies. In some cases, documents may continue to be accessible in an online archive, such as for historical or research purposes. The archived documents will be clearly marked to indicate that such documents are no longer applicable.
