SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

206A of the National Housing Act (12 

U.S.C. 1712a) provides authority for the 

annual adjustment for the following 

FHA multifamily statutory dollar limits: 

I. Section 207(c)(3)(A) (12 U.S.C. 

1713(c)(3)(A)); 

II. Section 213(b)(2)(A) (12 U.S.C. 

1715e(b)(2)(A)); 

III. Section 220(d)(3)(B)(iii)(I) (12 U.S.C. 

1715k(d)(3)(B)(iii)(I)); 

IV. Section 221(d)(4)(ii)(I) (12 U.S.C. 

1715l(d)(4)(ii)(I)); 

V. Section 231(c)(2)(A) (12 U.S.C. 

1715v(c)(2)(A)); and 

VI. Section 234(e)(3)(A) (12 U.S.C. 

1715y(e)(3)(A)). 

Section 206A states that the preceding 

‘‘Dollar Amounts’’ shall be adjusted 

annually (commencing in 2004) on the 

effective date of the Federal Reserve 

Board’s adjustment of the $400 figure in 

the Home Ownership and Equity 

Protection Act of 1994 (HOEPA). The 

adjustment of the Dollar Amounts shall 

be calculated using the percentage 

change in the Consumer Price Index for 

All Urban Consumers (CPI–U) as 

applied by the Federal Reserve Board 

for purposes of the above-described 

HOEPA adjustment. 

(b) Notification 

The Federal Reserve Board on a 

timely basis shall notify the Secretary, 

or his designee, in writing of the 

adjustment described in subsection (a) 

and of the effective date of such 

adjustment to permit the Secretary to 

undertake publication in the Federal 

Register of corresponding adjustments 

to the Dollar Amounts. The dollar 

amount of any adjustment shall be 

rounded to the next lower dollar. 

Note that 206A has not been updated 

to reflect the fact that HOEPA has been 

revised to use $1,000 as the basis for the 

adjustment rather than $400, and the 

Consumer Finance Protection Bureau 

has replaced the Federal Reserve Board 

in administering the adjustment. These 

changes were made by the Dodd-Frank 

Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act’s amendments to the 

Truth in Lending Act, as further 

explained in the regulatory 

implementation of said changes found 

in the Federal Register notice published 

on January 31, 2013 (78 FR 6856, 6879). 

The percentage change in the CPI–U 

used for the HOEPA adjustment is a 4.2 

percent increase and the effective date 

of the HOEPA adjustment is January 1, 

2022. The Dollar Amounts under 

Section 206A have been adjusted 

correspondingly and have an effective 

date of January 1, 2022, in accordance 

with the Federal Register notice 

published on November 2, 2021 (86 FR 

60357). 

These revised statutory limits may be 

applied to FHA multifamily mortgage 

insurance applications submitted or 

amended on or after January 1, 2022, so 

long as the loan has not been initially 

endorsed. 

The adjusted Dollar Amounts for 

Calendar Year 2022 are shown below.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 52 / Thursday, March 17, 2022 / Notices 15259 

The 2016 Multifamily Accelerated 

Processing (MAP) Guide established a 

base amount of $15,000 per unit to 

define substantial rehabilitation for FHA 

insured loan programs. Section 

5.1.2.A.2.b of the 2020 MAP guide 

requires that this base amount be 

annually adjusted for inflation based on 

the percentage change published by the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics of the 

Department of Labor or other inflation 

cost index. Applying the HOEPA 

adjustment to the base amount, the 2022 

base amount per dwelling unit to 

determine substantial rehabilitation for 

FHA insured loan programs is $16,983. This per unit cost threshold for 

substantial rehabilitation may be 

applied to FHA multifamily mortgage 

insurance applications submitted or 

amended on or after January 1, 2022, so 

long as the loan has not been initially 

endorsed. 

Environmental Impact 

This notice involves the statutorily 

required establishment of mortgage 

limits and discretionary establishment 

of cost limits which do not constitute 

development decisions 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
