[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 111 (Wednesday, June 10, 1998)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 31624-31625] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-15479] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT 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)''. Dated: June 3, 1998. Camille E. Acevedo, Assistant General Counsel for Regulations. [FR Doc. 98-15479 Filed 6-9-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4210-33-P
