          Subject: Department of Housing and Urban Development: Refinement of Income and
                  Rent Determination Requirements in Public and Assisted Housing
                  Programs; Final Rule

          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 Refinement of Income and Rent Determination Requirements in
          Public and Assisted Housing Programs; Final Rule (RIN: 2501-AD16). We received
          the rule on January 27, 2009. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule
          on January 27, 2009. 74 Fed. Reg. 4832.

          The final rule implements an upfront income verification process for HUD's public
          and assisted housing program. This rule requires public housing agencies and
          multifamily housing owners and management agencies to use HUD's Enterprise
          Income Verification system when verifying the employment and income of program
          participants at the time of all reexaminations or recertifications.

          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
          of the procedural steps taken indicates that HUD complied with the applicable
          requirements.
