{"abstract":"HERA, enacted into law on July 30, 2008, made comprehensive and significant reforms to several HUD programs, including HUD's Public Housing, Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher, and Project-Based Voucher programs. On November 24, 2008, HUD published a notice that provided information about the applicability of certain HERA provisions to these programs. The notice identified: those statutory provisions that are self-executing and required no action on the part of HUD for the program changes made by HERA to be implemented; and those statutory provisions that require new regulations or regulatory changes by HUD for the HERA provisions to be implemented. The notice also offered the opportunity for public comment on the guidance provided. HUD followed the November 2008 notice with a May 15, 2012, rule that proposed to establish, in regulation, the reforms made by HERA solely to the Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher and Project-Based Voucher programs as discussed in the November 2008 notice, to make other related changes to the regulations, and to further solicit public comment. This final rule conforms the regulations of the Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher and Project-Based Voucher programs to the statutory program changes made by HERA, makes other related changes to these regulations as discussed in the May 2012 proposed rule, and makes further changes to the two voucher program regulations as a result of issues raised by public comment or as a result of further consideration by HUD of issues pertaining to these programs.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT","name":"Housing and Urban Development Department","id":228,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/housing-and-urban-development-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/228","parent_id":null,"slug":"housing-and-urban-development-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2014/06/25/2014-14632.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":5,"title":24},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":982,"title":24},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":983,"title":24}],"citation":"79 FR 36146","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: July 25, 2014.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FR-5242-F-02"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2014-14632","effective_on":"2014-07-25","end_page":36170,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2014/06/25/2014-14632.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/06/25/2014-14632/the-housing-and-economic-recovery-act-of-2008-hera-changes-to-the-section-8-tenant-based-voucher-and","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2014-14632?publication_date=2014-06-25","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2014-06-25/2014-14632/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":25,"page_views":{"count":7459,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 12:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-06-25/pdf/2014-14632.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2014-14632.pdf?1403614215","publication_date":"2014-06-25","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2014/06/25/2014-14632.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2577-AC83":{"issue":"201404","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2577-AC83/the-housing-and-economic-recovery-act-of-2008-hera-implementing-and-conforming-rule-for-hera-and-rel","title":"The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) Implementing and Conforming Rule for HERA and Related Regulatory Changes to the Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher and Section 8 Project-Based Voucher ","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201404&RIN=2577-AC83&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2577-AC83"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=HUD-2012-0049","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"HUD-2012-0049","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"FR–5242–P–01 The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA): Changes to the Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher and Section 8 Project-Based Voucher Programs","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2014-07-15T06:00:10Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":36146,"subtype":null,"title":"The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA): Changes to the Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher and Section 8 Project-Based Voucher Programs","toc_doc":"Changes to the Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher, Section 8 Project-Based Voucher Programs","toc_subject":"Housing and Economic Recovery Act:","topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Aged","Claims","Drug abuse","Drug traffic control","Grant programs-housing and community development","Grant programs-Indians","Housing","Individuals with disabilities","Loan programs-housing and community development","Low and moderate income housing","Mortgage insurance","Pets","Public housing","Rent subsidies","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements"],"type":"Rule","volume":79}
