statements. 

At the end of all prepared statements

Participants should be prepared to 

answer questions from DOE and other 

participants concerning these issues.

Supportive Housing and Services for 

the Elderly and Persons With 

Disabilities: Implementing Statutory 

Reforms—Reopening of Public 

Comment 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

ACTION: Reopening of public comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: On October 7, 2014, HUD 

published a proposed rule entitled 

‘‘Supportive Housing and Services for 

the Elderly and Persons with 

Disabilities: Implementing Statutory 

Reforms,’’ and solicited public comment 

through December 8, 2014. The 

response to HUD’s solicitation of public 

comment was lower than what HUD 

expected, and HUD is therefore 

reopening the public comment period 

and will seek additional comments 

through January 15, 2015. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

proposed rule published October 7, 

2014 (79 FR 60590) is extended. 

Comments are due January 15, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit comments regarding 

this rulemaking to the Regulations

receipt by HUD, and enables HUD to 

make them immediately available to the 

public. Comments submitted 

electronically through the 

www.regulations.gov Web site can be 

viewed by other commenters and 

interested members of the public. 

Commenters should follow the

comments, comments must be submitted 

through one of the two methods specified

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 7, 2014, at 79 FR 60590, HUD 

published a proposed rule that would 

implement amendments made by the 

Section 202 Supportive Housing for the 

Elderly Act of 2010 (Section 202 Act of 

2010) and the Frank Melville 

Supportive Housing Investment Act of 

2010 (Melville Act) to the authorizing 

statutes for HUD’s supportive housing 

for the elderly program, known as the 

Section 202 program, and the 

supportive housing for persons with 

disabilities program, known as the 

Section 811 program. These two statutes 

were enacted on January 4, 2011, and 

made important reforms to the Section 

202 and Section 811 programs, several 

of which have already been 

implemented through separate 

issuances, as discussed in the 

Supplementary Information section of 

this proposed rule. In addition to 

proposing regulations to implement 

reforms of these two statutes, this 

proposed rule would implement several 

other changes to align with the 

amendments made by the January 4, 

2011, statutes, and streamline the 

Section 202 and Section 811 programs 

to better provide supportive housing for 

the elderly and persons with 

disabilities. 

HUD’s proposed rule would establish 

the requirements and procedures for the 

use of new project rental assistance for 

supportive housing for persons with 

disabilities; the implementation of an 

enhanced project rental assistance 

contract; allowance of a set-aside for a 

number of units for elderly individuals 

with functional limitations or other 

category of elderly persons as defined in 

the notice of funding availability 

(NOFA); make significant changes for 

the prepayment of certain loans for 

supportive housing for the elderly; 

implement a new form of rental 

assistance called Senior Preservation 

Rental Assistance Contracts (SPRACs); 

modernize the capital advance for 

supportive housing for persons with 

disabilities; and provide grant assistance 

for applicants without sufficient capital 

to prepare a site for a funding 

competition. This rulemaking also 

proposes to establish the regulations for 

the Service Coordinators in Multifamily 

Housing program and the Assisted 

Living Conversion program. 

As noted in the Summary of this 

notice, HUD provided a 60-day public 

comment period that closed on 

December 8, 2014. As HUD also noted, 

the response to HUD’s solicitation of 

public comment was lower than what 

HUD expected, and HUD is therefore 

reopening the public comment period 

and seeking comments through January 

15, 2015. 

Dated: December 5, 2014. 

Benjamin T. Metcalf, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Multifamily 

Housing.

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov

comment directly to EPA without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses.
