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

Through this Notice, the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development delegates to the Deputy Secretary all authority vested in or delegated or assigned to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, with certain exceptions as described herein in Section B. This Delegation supersedes all prior Delegations of Authority to the Deputy Secretary, including the Delegation of Concurrent Authority to the Deputy Secretary published in the Federal Register on November 7, 2012.

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. The primary uses of FMRs are to determine payment standards for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, to determine initial renewal rents for some expiring project-based Section 8 contracts, and to serve as rent ceilings for rental units in both the HOME Investment Partnerships Program and the Emergency Solutions Grants Program and a primary rent standard option for the Housing for Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) program. HUD also uses FMRs in the calculation of maximum award amounts for Continuum of Care grantees and in the calculation of flat rents for Public Housing units. To better determine payment standards and related parameters for HUD programs, HUD proposes changes in how FMRs are calculated in this notice and seeks public comment on the proposed changes. This notice also responds to public comments that were submitted on the publication of Fiscal Year 2023 FMRs.

This notice of NSPIRE Inspection Standards serves as a complementary document to the Economic Growth Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act: Implementation of National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE) rule. The rule provides that HUD publish in the Federal Register a set of NSPIRE inspection Standards to consolidate and align housing quality requirements and associated inspection Standards across programs. After developing and testing draft Standards and receiving public comment on prior versions of the Standards, HUD is providing the final NSPIRE physical inspection Standards to accompany HUD's final rule. Additionally, HUD is providing a list of life-threatening conditions and incorporating them into the NSPIRE inspection Standards in place of codifying the list, which HUD proposed in the ``Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA) of 2016Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and Project Based Voucher Implementation: Additional Streamlining Changes'' proposed rule. These final Standards adopt the proposed Standards with changes identified in this notice.
