Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing; Public/Private Partnerships for the Mixed-Finance Development of Public Housing Units Extension of Public Comment Deadline on Interim Rule

On May 2, 1996, HUD published an interim rule that added a new subpart F to the public housing development program at 24 CFR part 941. Under this new subpart, a public housing authority (PHA) was authorized to provide to a non-PHA entity public housing development and operating funds for the development and operation of the resulting public housing units. In addition, the rule clarified that replacement public housing units for public housing units that have been demolished could be built on the original public housing site, or in the same neighborhood, if the number of such replacement units was significantly fewer than the number of units demolished. The May 2, 1996 interim rule provided for the public comment period to expire on July 1, 1996. This notice extends the public comment period to September 15, 1996.
