DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-6429-C-02]


Section 3 Benchmarks for Creating Economic Opportunities for Low- 
and Very Low-Income Persons and Eligible Businesses; Correction

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Deputy Secretary for Field Policy and 
Management, HUD.

ACTION: Notification of benchmarks; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 
published a notice in the Federal Register on October 5, 2023, to 
inform members of the public that HUD was updating its 2020 version of 
the Section 3 benchmark notice pursuant to HUD's regulations, which 
require that HUD set Section 3 benchmarks by publishing a notification, 
subject to public comment, in the Federal Register and update the 
benchmarks no less frequently than once every three years by the same 
method of notification. The notice provided an opportunity for public 
comment about the Section 3 benchmark goals but did not include the 
option of electronic submission through Regulations.gov. The notice 
also did not specify a period of time for the public comment period. 
This notice corrects these omissions and establishes a public comment 
period of sixty days to submit comments.

DATES: Effective Date: December 22, 2023. The public comment period for 
the notice published in the Federal Register on October 5, 2023 (88 FR 
69219) is January 22, 2024.

of Field Policy and Management, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, Five Points Plaza, 40 Marietta St. NW, Atlanta, GA 30303,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Correction

    In the Federal Register of October 5, 2023, in FR Doc 2023-22183, 
on page 69219, in the first column, the following corrections are made:
    1. On page 69219, in the first column, in the Dates caption, revise 
the ``Dates'' section to read as follows:

DATES: Effective Date: December 22, 2023. Comment Due Date: January 22, 
2024.
    2. On page 69219, in the first column, after the dates section, add 
a section to read as follows:

ADDRESSES: HUD invites interested persons to submit comments to the 
Office of the General Counsel, Regulations Division, Department of 
Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street SW, Room 10276, 
Washington, DC 20410-0500. Communications should refer to the above 
docket number and title and should contain the information specified in 
the ``Request for Comments'' section. There are two methods for 
submitting public comments.
    1. Electronic Submission of Comments. Comments may be submitted 
electronically through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at 
www.regulations.gov. HUD strongly encourages commenters to submit 
comments electronically. Electronic submission of comments allows the 
commenter maximum time to prepare and submit a comment, ensures timely 
receipt by HUD, and enables HUD to make comments immediately available 
to the public. Comments submitted electronically through the website 
can be viewed by other commenters and interested members of the public. 
Commenters should follow instructions provided on that site to submit 
comments electronically.
    2. Submission of Comments by Mail. Comments may be submitted by 
mail to the Regulations Division, Office of General Counsel, Department 
of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street SW, Room 10276, 
Washington, DC 20410-0500. Due to security measures at all Federal 
agencies, however, submission of comments by mail often results in 
delayed delivery. To ensure timely receipt, HUD recommends that 
comments be mailed at least two weeks in advance of the public comment 
deadline.

Aaron Santa Anna,
Associate General Counsel, Office of Legislation and Regulations.
