LaFalce Ranking Minority Member Committee on Banking and Financial Services House of Representatives Subject: Department of Housing and Urban Development: Fair Market Rents: Increased Fair Market Rents and Higher Payment Standards for Certain Areas Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), entitled Fair Market Rents: Increased Fair Market Rents and Higher Payment Standards for Certain Areas (RIN: 2501-AC75). We received the rule on October 2, 2000. It was published in the Federal Register as an interim rule on October 2, 2000. 65 Fed. Reg. 58870. The interim rule implements HUD's new fair market rent (FMR) policy. The new FMR policy targets relief to areas where higher FMR's are needed to help families, assisted under HUD's Housing Choice Voucher Program as well as other HUD programs, find and lease decent and affordable housing. Enclosed is our assessment of HUD's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review indicates that HUD complied with the applicable requirements. If you have any questions about this report, please contact James W. Vickers, Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-8210. The official responsible for GAO GAO/OGC-01-5
