The PHA may only make such

payments for a vacant unit if:

(1) The vacancy was not the owner’s

fault, and

(2) The PHA and owner take action to

minimize the likelihood and length of

any vacancy.

Reduction of contract units after

vacancy. Except for units for which an

AHAP was executed before the effective

date of this notice, the new law

supersedes 24 CFR 983.152(b) and (c).

Instead, the following provisions apply:

If no eligible family rents a vacant

unit within 120 days (commencing on

the first day of the month when the

vacancy occurs), the PHA may terminate

its commitment to make any additional

housing assistance payments for the

unit for the balance of the HAP contract

term. The PHA may use the amounts so

saved to provide other voucher

assistance.

The policy guidance and

implementation directives of this notice

remain in effect until the new projectbased voucher changes in law have been

fully implemented through a new

regulation. HUD will endeavor to

answer any questions PHAs may have

that arise that are not anticipated in this

notice.

HUD will soon issue a new required

tenancy addendum and HAP contract

for the project-based voucher program

as implemented by this notice.

management, and site development of

Reclamation lands and resources at the

reservoir for the next 10 years.

DATES: Public hearings are scheduled

review. Individual respondents may

request that we withhold their home

address from public disclosure, which

we will honor to the extent allowable by

law. There also may be circumstances in

which we would withhold a

respondent’s identity from public

disclosure, as allowable by law. If you

wish us to withhold your name and/or

address, you must state this

prominently at the beginning of your

comment. We will make all submissions

from organizations or businesses, and

from individuals identifying themselves

as representatives or officials of

organizations or businesses, available

for public disclosure in their entirety.

A planning process that included

Federal, State, and local governments,

Tribes and the public in developing

alternatives to update the 1991 Lake

Cascade RMP has occurred over the past

two years. The Draft EA evaluates three

action alternatives that combine various

levels of recreation development and

resource conservation. The Preferred

Alternative emphasizes balanced

recreation development and natural

resource management. In addition to the

action alternatives, the No Action

Alternative of continuation of existing

management practices was also

evaluated. The Draft EA is available for

viewing on the internet at http://
