Request for Comments on Ending
‘‘Hold Harmless’’ Policy in Calculating
Income Limits Under Section 8 of the
United States Housing Act of 1937

cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Policy Development and
Research, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: For Fiscal Year (FY) 2009,
HUD has continued its policy of
maintaining Section 8 income limits at
the previously published level in cases
where HUD’s estimate of area median
family income (MFI) or housing cost
adjustment data, or changes in
calculation methodology, would lead to
a lower income limit than was
previously published. The policy was
adopted to ensure that Multifamily Tax
Subsidy Projects (MTSPs) would not be

subject to income-limit and rent
decreases when the data underlying
income limits otherwise indicated
decreases. The Housing and Economic
Recovery Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–289)
changed the tax code to protect existing
MTSPs from decreases in income limits
and rents, should HUD decide to
discontinue this policy. However,
maintaining artificially high income
limits may have an adverse impact on
other federal programs. HUD is
requesting public comment on whether
HUD should discontinue the practice
with respect to Section 8 income limits
such that income limits generally would
be allowed to decrease.
DATES: Comments Due Date: October 14,
2009.

invited to submit comments regarding
this notice to the Regulations Division,
