Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 81 / Wednesday, April 29, 2009 / Notices 19577 

July 30, 2008), which is cited as the 

‘‘Housing Tax Credit Coordination Act 

of 2008,’’ increases HUD’s ability to 

facilitate and coordinate the use of low 

income housing tax credits or taxexempt bonds with multifamily projects 

that receive FHA assistance. 

Section 2832 of HERA requires that 

HUD implement ‘‘administrative and 

procedural’’ changes to expedite the 

approval of assistance for certain 

multifamily assisted housing projects 

for which HUD approval is required. 

The multifamily housing projects 

covered by this section include projects 

for which HUD provides assistance in 

conjunction with low-income housing 

tax credits under section 42 of the 

Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 

U.S.C. 42) or tax-exempt housing bonds, 

and public or assisted housing projects 

for transactions, in conjunction with 

any low-income housing tax credits or 

tax-exempt bonds, involving the 

preservation or rehabilitation of the 

project. 

Section 2832(c) of HERA directs HUD 

to solicit recommendations from project 

owners and sponsors, investors and 

stakeholders in housing tax credits, state 

and local housing finance agencies, 

public housing agencies, tenant 

advocates, and other stakeholders in 

multifamily housing projects that will 

be receiving the benefit of low income 

housing tax credits or tax-exempt bonds, 

regarding administrative and procedural 

changes that could be implemented to 

expedite the approval of applications for 

HUD insured mortgages for such 

projects. The category of assisted 

multifamily housing projects to which 

this notice applies also includes, in 

addition to projects applying for FHA 

mortgage insurance, projects that will 

no longer have FHA insured mortgages, 

but which request to continue to retain 

the benefits of interest reduction 

payments under Section 236 of the 

National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1715z– 

1), with LIHTC or tax-exempt bond 

financing. This notice seeking comment 

from stakeholders and other interested 

members of the public is issued in 

response to the direction in section 2832 

of HERA to solicit recommendations on 

the multifamily housing approval 

process. 

In addition to soliciting 

recommendations, generally, on 

administrative and procedural changes 

that HUD should adopt to expedite and 

facilitate its approval of multifamily 

housing projects, HUD specifically 

solicits public comment on the 

following areas: 

(A) Improving the efficiency of 

approval procedures; 

(B) Simplifying approval 

requirements, 

(C) Establishing time deadlines or 

target deadlines for required approvals; 

(D) Modifying division of approval 

authority between field and national 

offices; 

(E) Improving outreach to project 

sponsors regarding information that is 

required to be submitted for such 

approvals; 

(F) Requesting additional funding for 

increasing staff, if necessary; and 

(G) Any other actions which would 

expedite approvals. 

Those stakeholders and interested 

members of the public who wish to 

comment on these or related topics 

should submit their comments as 

provided in the ADDRESSES section of 

this notice.
