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 rule, which was originally scheduled to become effective on March 30, 2009, will become effective on September 30, 2009. Today's action follows publication of HUD's February 11, 2009, Federal Register notice seeking public comment on whether delay in the effective date of the January 27, 2009, final rule, would be beneficial in further consideration of the rule's policies. This action is being taken in accordance with the memorandum of January 20, 2009, from the assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled "Regulatory Review."
