HUD is delaying the effective date of the rule entitled "Refinement of Income and Rent Determination Requirements in Public and Assisted Housing Programs" published in the Federal Register on January 27, 2009. The January 27, 2009, final rule, which was scheduled to become effective on September 30, 2009, will become effective on January 31, 2010. Today's action will provide the Department with the necessary additional time to review the subject matter of the January 27, 2009, final rule and to consider the public comments on HUD's February 11, 2009, Federal Register notice that solicited public comments on the regulatory amendments made by the January 27, 2009 final rule.
