Abstract
This final rule conforms HUD's regulations to statutory changes which were stated to take effect on August 5, 1997. Provisions of the existing regulations for the Empowerment Zones (EZs) and Enterprise Communities (ECs) that limit the number of EZs and ECs that can be designated under the regulations are removed, since section 951 of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 authorized designation of two additional EZs.
