Comparability always applies.
The AAFs are contained in Schedule C, Tables 1 and 2 of this notice. There are two columns in each table. Each AAF applies to a specified geographic area and to units of all bedroom sizes. The exceptions are for certain large metropolitan areas, where HUD considers the area covered by the OMB definition to be larger than appropriate for use as a housing market area definition. In those areas, HUD has deleted some of the counties that OMB had added to its revised definitions.
