unnecessary and not in the public

interest (5 U.S.C. 553(b) and (d)). More

than 3 months have passed since the

agency issued the citizen petition

responses and the agency has received

no adverse correspondence or

comments with respect to its decision.

Therefore, the agency is now amending

the compliance date of the final rule.

However, in accordance with 21 CFR

10.40(e)(1), FDA is providing an

opportunity for comment on whether

this partial extension of the compliance

dates should be modified or revoked.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

September 10, 1998 (63 FR 48548), HUD

published its final rule for the Section

8 Management Assessment Program

(SEMAP). SEMAP provides for objective

measurement of the performance of a

public housing agency (PHA) in key

areas of the Section 8 tenant-based

assistance program. SEMAP enables

HUD to ensure program integrity and

accountability by identifying PHA

management capabilities and

deficiencies and by improving risk

assessment to effectively target

monitoring and program assistance.

PHAs can use the SEMAP performance

analysis to assess their own program

operations.

The ‘‘effective date’’ section of the

September 10, 1998 final rule noted that

the rule took effect October 13, 1998,

with the following sections stayed as of

October 13, 1998, until further notice:

§ 985.102 (SEMAP profile); § 985.103

(SEMAP score and overall performance

rating); paragraphs (a), (b), (d) and (e) of

§ 985.105 (HUD SEMAP

responsibilities), and § 985.107

(Required actions for PHA with troubled

performance rating).

The preamble to the September 10,

1998 SEMAP final rule explained why

these sections were stayed on October

13, 1998. The preamble explained that

HUD would publish a Federal Register

notice of the effective date of the full

implementation of SEMAP when HUD

determined that independent

verification methods for the SEMAP

indicators are properly implemented.

(See 63 FR 48549, first column, second

full paragraph.) HUD has determined

that these methods have been properly

implemented and this document

provides notice that the stay is lifted on

§§ 985.102, 985.103, 985.105(a),

985.105(b), 985.105(d), 985.105(e), and

985.107 as of August 1, 2000.

HUD expects that the first PHAs to be

rated under SEMAP will be PHAs with

fiscal years July 1, 1999 to June 30,

2000. The first ratings are expected to be

assigned in fall 2000.

Dated: June 12, 2000.

Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian

Housing.
