## Abstract

This final rule removes from regulations obsolete references to the Section 8 Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Certificate program (Certificate Program). In accordance with Executive Order 13563, "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review," HUD reviewed its regulations to identify regulations that are "outmoded, ineffective, insufficient or excessively burdensome." Following its review, HUD determined that the Certificate Program regulations are obsolete and unnecessary because they govern a program that has been consolidated into another program, the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. This rule also makes minor editorial corrections to the regulations.
