Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 168 / Thursday, August 31, 2023 / Notices 60231 

For small metropolitan areas without 

one-year ACS data and nonmetropolitan counties, HUD has 

developed a method using mail surveys 

that is discussed on the FMR web page: 

https://www.huduser.gov/portal/ 

datasets/fmr.html#survey_info. This 

method allows for the collection of as 

few as 100 one-bedroom, two-bedroom, 

and three-bedroom units. 

Other survey methods are acceptable 

in providing data to support 

reevaluation requests if the survey 

method can provide statistically 

reliable, unbiased estimates of gross 

rents paid of the entire FMR area. In 

general, recommendations for FMR 

changes and supporting data must 

reflect the rent levels that exist within 

the entire FMR area and should be 

statistically reliable. 

PHAs in non-metropolitan areas are 

required to get 100 eligible survey 

responses, which means they should 

have at least 5,000 rental units. PHAs 

may conduct surveys of groups of nonmetropolitan counties to increase the 

number of rental units that are 

surveyed, but HUD must approve all 

county-grouped surveys in advance. 

HUD cautions that the resulting FMRs 

may not be identical for the counties 

surveyed; each individual FMR area 

will have a separate FMR based on the 

relationship of rents in that area to the 

combined rents in the cluster of FMR 

areas. In addition, HUD advises that in 

counties where FMRs are based on the 

combined rents in the cluster of FMR 

areas, HUD will not revise their FMRs 

unless the grouped survey results show 

a revised FMR statistically different 

from the combined rent level. 

Survey samples should preferably be 

randomly drawn from a complete list of 

rental units for the FMR area. If this is 

not feasible, the selected sample must 

be drawn to be statistically 

representative of the entire rental 

housing stock of the FMR area. Surveys 

must include units at all rent levels and 

be representative by structure type 

(including single-family, duplex, and 

other small rental properties), age of 

housing unit, and geographic location. 

The current 5-year ACS data should be 

used as a means of verifying if a sample 

is representative of the FMR area’s 

rental housing stock. Staff from HUD’s 

Program Parameters and Research 

Division will work with PHAs in areas 

requesting re-evaluations to provide the 

minimum number of survey cases 

required to ensure that data submitted 

for re-evaluation represent a statistically 

valid sample. 

A PHA or contractor that cannot 

obtain the recommended number of 

sample responses after reasonable 

efforts should consult with HUD before 

abandoning its survey; in such 

situations, HUD may find it appropriate 

to relax normal sample size 

requirements, but in no case will fewer 

than 100 eligible cases be considered. 

Calculating Small Area FMRs Using 

Rent Distributions 

Since FY 2016, HUD has provided 

guidance and data on how to provide 

data-supported comments on Small 

Area FMRs using HUD’s special 

tabulations of the distribution of gross 

rents by unit bedroom count for ZIP 

Code Tabulation Areas. HUD has not 

received any such requests since 2017 

and is therefore discontinuing the 

publication of these data. 

VII. Environmental Impact 

This notice involves the 

establishment of FMR schedules, which 

do not constitute a development 

decision affecting the physical 

condition of specific project areas or 

building sites. Accordingly, under 24 

CFR 50.19(c)(6), this notice is 

categorically excluded from 

environmental review under the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321). 

Accordingly, the Fair Market Rent 

Schedules, which will not be codified in 

24 CFR part 888, are available at https:// 

www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/

Schedule B—General Explanatory Notes 

Arrangement of FMR Areas and 

Identification of Constituent Parts 

a. The Metropolitan and NonMetropolitan FMR Area Schedule lists 

FMRs alphabetically by state, by 

metropolitan area and by nonmetropolitan county within each state 

and are available at https://

www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/ 

fmr.html. 

b. The schedule lists the constituent 

counties (and New England towns and 

cities) included in each metropolitan 

FMR area immediately following the 

listings of the FMR dollar amounts. All 

constituent parts of a metropolitan FMR 

area that are in more than one state can 

be identified by consulting the listings 

for each applicable state. 

c. The schedule lists two nonmetropolitan counties alphabetically on 

each line of the non-metropolitan 

county listings. 

d. Similarly, the schedule lists the 

New England towns and cities included 

in a non-metropolitan county 

immediately following the county name.
