## Abstract

The interim rule implements certain statutory changes by revising HUD's regulations for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Specifically, this interim rule prohibits state and local governments from using CDBG funds for "job pirating" activities that are likely to result in significant job loss. The rule also applies to section 108 loan guarantees, and the use of Brownfields Economic Development Initiative and Economic Development Initiative funds with section 108 loan guarantees and CDBG funding. This rule follows publication of an October 24, 2000, proposed rule and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule. The interim rule also provides the public with an additional opportunity to comment on the regulatory job pirating provisions.
