DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND

[Docket No. FR–4264–N–01]

Public Housing Lease and Grievance

Procedures; Notice of HUD Due

Process Determinations

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian

Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of HUD due process

determinations.

SUMMARY: Under section 6(k) of the

United States Housing Act of 1937, a

housing agency (HA) is generally

required to provide a public housing

tenant with the opportunity for an

administrative hearing before

commencement of eviction proceedings

in court. The statute provides that the

HA may bypass the administrative

hearing for evictions involving any

activity that threatens the health, safety

or right to peaceful enjoyment of the

premises of other tenants or employees

of the HA or any drug-related criminal

activity on or of such premises.

However, HUD must first make a

determination that local law requires a

pre-eviction court hearing that provides

the basic elements of due process (a

‘‘due process determination’’). This

notice lists the judicial eviction

procedures in the States of Louisiana

and North Carolina for which HUD has

recently issued a due process

determination.

determination is based by contacting the

Assisted Housing Division.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On March 26, 1996 (61 FR 13272),

HUD published a final rule in the

Federal Register amending its

regulations governing public notice and

comment rulemaking requirements (24

CFR part 10) and public housing lease

and grievance procedures (24 CFR part

966). The final rule added a new

paragraph (a)(2)(iii) to § 966.51 which

states that ‘‘[f]or guidance to the public,

HUD will publish in the Federal

Register a notice listing the judicial

eviction procedures for which HUD has

issued a due process determination.’’

Also on March 26, 1996 (61 FR

13276), HUD published a notice in the

Federal Register implementing 24 CFR

966.51(a)(2)(iii). The notice provided a

State-by-State listing of the due process

determinations issued by HUD. Each

listing provided a brief description of

the judicial eviction procedures

required by local law which HUD has

determined are consistent with the basic

elements of due process, as further

defined in 24 CFR 966.53(c).

Subsequent to the publication of the

March 26, 1996 notice, HUD issued due

process determinations covering the

States of Mississippi and Connecticut.

Additionally, HUD expanded the

coverage of its previously issued

determination for the State of

Massachusetts to account for a recent

change in State law. On September 11,

1996 (61 FR 47953), HUD published a

notice in the Federal Register which

described the judicial eviction

procedures in the States of Connecticut,

Massachusetts and Mississippi for

which it had issued a due process

determination.

Since the publication of the March 26,

1996 and September 11, 1996 Federal

Register notices, HUD has issued two

new due process determinations, which

cover the States of North Carolina and

Louisiana. This notice supplements the

March 26, 1996 and September 11, 1996

notices by providing a brief description

of the judicial eviction procedures in

these two States for which

determinations have been issued.

II. Listing of Judicial Eviction

Procedures in the States of Louisiana

and North Carolina for Which HUD Has

Issued a Due Process Determination

Louisiana

A summary action for eviction in the

district courts and in the courts of

limited jurisdiction under Book VII,

Title XI of the Louisiana Code of Civil

Procedure.

North Carolina

A summary ejectment action in

district court (including a summary

ejectment action before a magistrate in

district court) and in superior court

under Chapter 42, Article 3 of the

General Statutes of North Carolina.

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance.

The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance

Number for Public Housing is 14.850.
