24 CFR Part 982
[Docket No. FR-4054-C-03]
RIN 2577-AB63
Section 8 Certificate and Voucher Programs Conforming Rule;
Correction
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.
[[Page 31625]]
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final rule that was
published Thursday, April 30, 1998 (63 FR 23826). That final rule
combined and conformed the provisions of the Section 8 certificate and
the voucher programs and made some regulatory streamlining changes.
EFFECTIVE DATE: June 10, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gloria Cousar, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Public and Assisted Housing Delivery, Office of Public
and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room
4204, 451 7th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410. Her telephone numbers
are (202) 708-2841 (voice) and (202) 708-0850 (TTY). (These are not
toll-free numbers.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Need for Correction
As published, the final rule contains three errors that may prove
to be misleading and is in need of clarification. The first error is
the omission of the definition of ``Housing quality standards'' from
Sec. 982.4. The definition as found in the rule before the revision is
restored in this document. The second error is the failure to include
the term ``near-elderly'' in a discussion in Sec. 982.316 concerning
the family composition of a family eligible to seek approval of a live-
in aide. Such a family, as described in 24 CFR 5.403, may include near-
elderly persons without either elderly persons or disabled persons. The
omission of that term in this rule would create confusion, so it is
added to Sec. 982.316 in this document. The third error is that the
statement of how to calculate the amount of the monthly housing
assistance payment for a manufactured home space in Sec. 982.623
contains a typographical error that cites an incorrect paragraph
reference. This document corrects the reference.
Correction of Publication
Accordingly, FR Doc. 98-10374, a final rule published on April 30,
1998 (63 FR 23826), which amended 24 CFR part 982, is corrected as
follows:
1. On page 23858, in the third column, Sec. 982.4 is corrected by
inserting, after the definition of ``Housing assistance payment'', the
following definition of ``Housing quality standards'':
Sec. 982.4 Definitions.
* * * * *
Housing quality standards (HQS). The HUD minimum quality standards
for housing assisted under the tenant-based programs. See Sec. 982.401.
* * * * *
Sec. 982.316 [Corrected]
2. On page 23860, in the third column, in the first sentence of
Sec. 982.316, the word ``elderly'' is corrected to read ``elderly,
near-elderly''.
Sec. 982.623 [Corrected]
3. On page 23869, in the second column, in Sec. 982.623(b)(2)(i),
the reference to ``the lesser of paragraphs (b)(2)(i)(A) or
(b)(2)(ii)(B)'' is corrected to read ``the lesser of paragraphs
(b)(2)(i)(A) or (b)(2)(i)(B)''.
