DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND 

URBAN DEVELOPMENT 

[Docket No. FR–5323–N–01] 

Request for Comments on Ending 

‘‘Hold Harmless’’ Policy in Calculating 

Income Limits Under Section 8 of the 

United States Housing Act of 1937 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Policy Development and 

Research, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: For Fiscal Year (FY) 2009, 

HUD has continued its policy of 

maintaining Section 8 income limits at 

the previously published level in cases 

where HUD’s estimate of area median 

family income (MFI) or housing cost 

adjustment data, or changes in 

calculation methodology, would lead to 

a lower income limit than was 

previously published. The policy was 

adopted to ensure that Multifamily Tax 

Subsidy Projects (MTSPs) would not be 

subject to income-limit and rent 

decreases when the data underlying 

income limits otherwise indicated 

decreases. The Housing and Economic 

Recovery Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–289) 

changed the tax code to protect existing 

MTSPs from decreases in income limits 

and rents, should HUD decide to 

discontinue this policy. However, 

maintaining artificially high income 

limits may have an adverse impact on 

other federal programs. HUD is 

requesting public comment on whether 

HUD should discontinue the practice 

with respect to Section 8 income limits 

such that income limits generally would 

be allowed to decrease. 

DATES: Comments Due Date: October 14, 

2009. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit comments regarding 

this notice to the Regulations Division,
