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)''.
