HUD's rules regarding preemption of local rent control for assisted housing projects have not been updated to reflect the statutory replacement of the section 202 direct loan program with the section 202 and section 811 programs for capital advances and project rental assistance for projects for the elderly and persons with disabilities. This final rule accomplishes the necessary updating through revision of 24 CFR part 246 concerning rent control and 24 CFR part 891 concerning the current section 202 and section 811 programs. There is no change in HUD's policy of preempting local rent control for assisted housing programs.
