SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Technical Amendment

This technical amendment corrects an error in the Federal Register dated February 25, 2000 (65 FR 10316). On page 10316, subpart (c)(1) Preliminary Fees, it reads "HUD may pay preliminary fees * * * if the first year of administering the Section 8 program was begun prior to October 21, 1998 (Emphasis added)". The Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998, (QHWRA) changed PHA eligibility for preliminary fees. PHAs now may earn a fee up to $500 per unit for the initial funding increment for the first year the PHA administers a tenant-based assistance program, and only if the first year the PHA was administering the Section 8 program was begun on or after the merger date of October 1, 1998. See 24 CFR 982.152 (c).

In addition to the above change, this notice transmits changes to the monthly Administrative Fees Amounts on the fee tables. The administrative fee revisions are in Appendix A. These changes are to correct a computer programming error that caused a small reduction in the fees in the listed areas. The metropolitan FMR areas that have changed are listed below with the Federal Register page number to enable PHAs to easily identify if these revised fees apply to their program. Note that when there is a duplicate city listing, check for the appropriate state.

Aurburn-Opelika, AL-MSA, Corvallis, OR-MSA, and Culpepper County, VA were omitted from the administrative fee schedule for FY 2000 published in the February 25, 2000 Federal Register (65 FR 10316). They are listed in the attached administrative fee revision.
