Department of Housing and Urban Development April 2023 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) seeks the public's input on changes that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD or the Department) is considering to its implementing regulations for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) for federally assisted and HUD conducted programs and activities. Section 504 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in all programs and activities receiving Federal financial assistance and in programs and activities conducted by executive agencies. After this ANPRM is published, the Department intends to draft a Notice of a Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that would propose the adoption of an updated Federal accessibility standard for purposes of compliance with HUD's Section 504 regulations. In addition, the Department intends for this NPRM to propose revisions to HUD's Section 504 regulations to clarify recipients' obligations, including how to account for advances in accessible design, information and communication technology, and assistive technologies that have become available since HUD's Section 504 regulations were originally published in 1988.

On August 20, 2020, HUD issued a notice providing for the program rules, statutory and regulatory waivers, and alternative requirements applicable to supplemental Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds made available to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus (CDBG-CV funds) and to annual formula CDBG grants awarded in fiscal years 2019 and 2020. This notice describes a change to one of the regulatory waivers and alternative requirements applicable to the CDBG-CV funds. The change removes the requirement that eighty percent of a grant must be expended within three years of grant agreement execution. Except as otherwise described in this notice, the August 2020 Notice, the CARES Act, and the statutory and regulatory provisions governing the CDBG program continue to apply to CDBG-CV funds.
