Notice of Certain Operating Cost 

Adjustment Factors for 2018 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing 

Commissioner, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice establishes 

operating cost adjustment factors 

(OCAFs) for project-based rental 

assistance contracts issued under 

Section 8 of the United States Housing 

Act of 1937 and renewed under the 

Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform 

and Affordability Act of 1997 (MAHRA) 

with an anniversary date on or after 

February 11, 2018. OCAFs are annual 

factors used primarily to adjust the rents 

for contracts renewed under section 515 

or section 524 of MAHRA. OCAFs are 

distinct from, and do not apply to the 

same properties as Annual Adjustment 

Factors (AAFs). AAFs are used to adjust 

contract rents for units assisted in 

certain Section 8 housing assistance 

payment programs during the initial 

(i.e., pre-renewal) term of the HAP 

contract and for all units in the ProjectBased Certificate program. 

DATES: Applicable: February 11, 2018.
