data is collected by the CTES Training
Support Unit and provides valuable
feedback to the Supervisory Air Marshal
in Charge (SAC) and CTES instructional
staff and supervisors on how the
training material was presented and

mandatory for students who
successfully complete training, but the
students may remain anonymous. Once
reviewed, the feedback is used to
improve the course curriculum and the
course of instruction. The estimated
burden is approximately one hour per

Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.

I. Background
Approximately $75 million in
appropriations was made available for
HUD’s (FY) 2014 FSS program, in the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014,
(Pub. L. 113–76, 128 Stat. 5, enacted
January 17, 2014). Previously HUD
administered the FSS program as two
separate programs—one for Housing
Choice Voucher (Section 8) participants
and one for Public Housing participants.
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014
provided, however, that the two
programs be merged into one program
under a separate line item. The objective
of the FSS program is to enable
participating low-income families to
increase their earned income and reduce
their dependency on welfare assistance
and rental subsidies. Under the FSS
program, low-income families are
provided opportunities for education,
job training, and other forms of social
service assistance, while living in
assisted housing, so they can obtain
skills necessary to achieve selfsufficiency.

Previously, the Family SelfSufficiency Program was administered
as two separate programs—one for
Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8)
participants and one for Public Housing
participants. Appropriations for the
Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program
in the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2014, provided, however, that the two
programs be merged into one program
under a separate line item. The
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014,
also provided that the Secretary could,
by Federal Register notice, waive or
specify alternative requirements under
specific sections of the United States
Housing Act of 1937 in order to
facilitate the operation of a unified
Family Self-Sufficiency program. Based
on this authority, HUD has unified these
programs. This notice provides waivers
and alternative requirements to facilitate
the operation of a unified selfsufficiency program.
DATES: This notice is effective:
December 29, 2014.

II. Applicable Rules, Statutes, Waivers,
and Alternative Requirements
To facilitate the operation of a unified
self-sufficiency program, the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014,
authorizes the Secretary to waive, or
specify alternative requirements of the
sections (b)(3), (b)(4), (b)(5) or (c)(1) of
Section 23 of the United States Housing
Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437u) (1937
Act). Under this authority, the Secretary
hereby authorizes the following waivers
and alternative requirements, which has
the effect of modifying the FSS statute.
1. Waiver allowing the Alternative
requirement to permit families in either
the public housing or Housing Choice
Voucher program to count towards
compliance with public housing
agencies’ (PHAs’) mandatory FSS
participation level and its reduction.
HUD is providing an alternative
requirement to Sections 23(b)(3) and
(b)(4) to allow public housing agencies
to operate a unified FSS program that
combines the number of families under
the formerly separated programs and
formerly count graduating participants
from either rental assistance program to

both fulfill their mandatory program
size requirements and subsequently
reduce the program size in accordance
with Section 236(b)(4). Without such a
policy, PHAs would have to continue
the separate tracking of families from
each program, which would be
unnecessarily burdensome. Moreover,
this flexibility will allow some PHAs
that have had difficulty meeting
program requirements to come into
compliance, and enable more families to
benefit from FSS. This will apply to all
PHAs, including those that administer
only a single FSS program now and
choose to expand to serve residents
from the other rental assistance
program. For example, if a PHA serves
voucher participants only through their
FSS program and the PHA expands its
FSS program to public housing
residents as well, then the PHA may
count both its voucher FSS and public
housing FSS graduating participants in
reducing its mandatory program size.
2. Waiver allowing Alternative
requirement to the timely processing of
assistance. HUD is providing an
alternative requirement to Section (b)(5)
to provide that public housing
applicants, like HCV applicants, shall
not be delayed in receipt of housing
assistance due to electing not to
participate in FSS. Section 23(b)(5)
required no delay in admission of HCV
applicants who decline to participate in
FSS, but is silent about public housing
admissions. Extending the existing
policy to public housing applicants
promotes uniformity, and also avoids
the risk that some families will indicate
an interest in FSS just to gain admission
to assisted housing, and then not make
effective use of the opportunity. It also
supports the principle that participation
in FSS is voluntary.
3. Waiver to allow Alternative
requirements on Conditions of
Participation. HUD is providing an
alternative requirement to Section (c)(1)
that provides that housing assistance
may not be terminated or withheld as a
consequence of failure to complete the
Contract of Participation without good
cause. Section 23(c)(1) allows PHAs to
have a policy that HCV assistance may
be withheld or terminated for those
families that fail to comply with their
FSS contracts without good cause, but
does not authorize eviction of public
housing tenants for FSS noncompliance. This alternative
requirement will promote uniformity as
well as the principle that participation
in FSS is voluntary. Anecdotal evidence
suggests that the risk of termination has
dampened interest in FSS among HCV
participants at agencies that have
adopted the option, making it more
