SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On September 24, 2020 (85 FR 60288), HUD published a final rule that amended HUD's disparate impact standard regulation and included minor revisions to § 100.70. In the revision of § 100.70, HUD's amendatory instructions in the final rule included an incorrect instruction to add a new paragraph (d)(5). HUD intended, consistent with the proposed rule (84 FR 42854), to revise the already-existing paragraph (d)(5). This document corrects this instruction.

Correction

Accordingly, FR Rule Doc. 2020-19887, HUD's Implementation of the Fair Housing Act's Disparate Impact Standard (FR-6111-F-03), published in the Federal Register on September 24, 2020 (85 FR 60288) is corrected as follows:

On page 60332, in the last full paragraph of the second column, in amendment 3, the instruction “In § 100.70, add a new paragraph (d)(5) to read as follows:” is corrected to read “In § 100.70, revise paragraph (d)(5) to read as follows:”

Aaron Santa Anna,

Associate General Counsel for Legislation and Regulations.
