Update 

Random Digit Dialing (RDD) surveys 

were completed in October 2008 for the 

following FMR areas: New Orleans— 

Metairie—Kenner, LA MSA, 

Hattiesburg, MS MSA, and Pearl River 

County, MS. These RDDs were begun in 

August 2008 but were interrupted by 

Hurricane Ike and so not completed 

until October 2008. The RDD survey for 

Hattiesburg, MS indicated a slight 

decline in rents in that metropolitan 

area, but the difference in rents was 

within the confidence interval of the 

survey result so no change in the FMR 

is indicated. Survey results for Pearl 

River show an increase in market rents 

over the published FY2009 FMR. 

New Orleans was surveyed at the 

request of program sponsors in response 

to evidence that the New Orleans rental 

market and the Section 8 program were 

being adversely affected by the FMR 

bonus applied to the New Orleans FMR 

in FY2006 to facilitate program 

operations after hurricanes Katrina and 

Rita. The New Orleans survey indicates 

that current market rents in New 

Orleans are lower than the FY2009 FMR 

published on September 29, 2008. This 

revision to the New Orleans FMR 

effectively eliminates the Katrinarelated bonus in New Orleans. Because 

the rental market appears to be working 

again in New Orleans, return of the New 

Orleans FMR to its market level is 

warranted. 

The FMR for the affected areas are 

updated as follows:
