-----------------------------------------------------------------------

for public housing agencies (PHAs) administering the housing choice 
voucher program, and the rental certificate and moderate rehabilitation 
programs (including Single Room Occupancy and Shelter Plus Care) during

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Technical Amendment

    This technical amendment corrects an error in the Federal Register 
dated February 25, 2000 (65 FR 10316). On page 10316, subpart (c)(1) 
Preliminary Fees, it reads ``HUD may pay preliminary fees * * * if the 
first year of administering the Section 8 program was begun prior to 
October 21, 1998 (Emphasis added)''. The Quality Housing and Work 
Responsibility Act of 1998, (QHWRA) changed PHA eligibility for 
preliminary fees. PHAs now may earn a fee up to $500 per unit for the 
initial funding increment for the first year the PHA administers a 
tenant-based assistance program, and only if the first year the PHA was 
administering the Section 8 program was begun on or after the merger 
date of October 1, 1998. See 24 CFR 982.152 (c).
    In addition to the above change, this notice transmits changes to 
the monthly Administrative Fees Amounts on the fee tables. The 
administrative fee revisions are in Appendix A. These changes are to 
correct a computer programming error that caused a small reduction in 
the fees in the listed areas. The metropolitan FMR areas that have 
changed are listed below with the Federal Register page number to 
enable PHAs to easily identify if these revised fees apply to their 
program. Note that when there is a duplicate city listing, check for 
the appropriate state.
    Aurburn-Opelika, AL-MSA, Corvallis, OR-MSA, and Culpepper County, 
VA were omitted from the administrative fee schedule for FY 2000 
published in the February 25, 2000 Federal Register (65 FR 10316). They 
are listed in the attached administrative fee revision.
    The metropolitan areas that have changes and their page numbers in 
the February 25, FY 2000 Federal Register are as follows:
