Tenant-Based Section 8 Program: Procedures for Determining Baseline Unit Allocations, Verifying Unit Allocations, Accessing, Using, Restoration of and Recapture of Program Reserves and Transfers of Baseline Unit Allocations; Amendment

On October 21, 1999, HUD published its final rule specifying the method HUD will use in allocating housing assistance available to renew expiring contracts with public housing agencies (PHAs) for Section 8 tenant-based housing assistance. As required by statute, the final rule was developed using negotiated rulemaking procedures. On April 19, 2000, HUD published a Federal Register notice, also developed during the negotiated rulemaking process, which provides guidance on several topics relating to the October 21, 1999 final rule, including the procedures for verifying unit allocations; the accessing, using, restoration of and recapture of program reserves in the Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) Reserve Account; and the transfer of baseline unit allocations. This notice amends the procedures described in the April 19, 2000 notice regarding the annual year-end assessment of a PHA's leasing rate and use of budget authority to determine whether HUD should transfer unexpended budget authority to other PHAs.
