SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On October 21, 1999 (64 FR 56882), HUD published a final rule that specified the method HUD will use in allocating housing assistance available to renew expiring contracts with public housing agencies (PHAs) for Section 8 tenant-based housing assistance. As required by statute, the October 21, 1999 final rule was the product of a negotiated rulemaking, following implementation, as further required by statute, of a HUD notice on this subject. The purpose of this document is to correct two typographical errors contained in the October 21, 1999 final rule. Specifically, this document corrects all references to a “CACC” to read “consolidated ACC.” This document also inserts a missing hyphen in one of the references in § 982.102 to “project-based assistance.”

Accordingly, in the final rule entitled “Renewal of Expiring Annual Contributions Contracts in the Tenant-Based Section 8 Program; Formula for Allocation of Housing Assistance,” FR Document 99-27445, beginning at 64 FR 56882, in the issue of Thursday, October 21, 1999, the following corrections are made:

1. On page 56887, beginning in the second column, § 982.102 is corrected as follows:

a. Correct all references to “CACC” to read “consolidated ACC”; and

b. In paragraph (a), correct the reference to “project based assistance” to read “project-based assistance.”
