{"abstract":"The Rural Housing Service (RHS or the Agency), a Rural Development agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is issuing this notification to extend the period to waive two regulatory requirements for the Section 502 Direct and Guaranteed Manufactured Housing program, while the Agency completes the rulemaking to remove regulatory barriers to assist eligible applicants by improving the ease of the pilot program (pilot) use for very low to moderate-income homeowners that seek to purchase more affordable housing. This continues to support the current Administration's Housing Supply Action Plan which seeks to boost new financing mechanisms to build and supply quality affordable housing units. This document briefly discusses the waivers the Agency intends to continue and provides contact information for additional details about the pilot.","action":"Notification of extension of waivers.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE","name":"Agriculture Department","id":12,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agriculture-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/12","parent_id":null,"slug":"agriculture-department"},{"raw_name":"Rural Housing Service","name":"Rural Housing Service","id":458,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/rural-housing-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/458","parent_id":12,"slug":"rural-housing-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2024/10/11/2024-23506.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":3550,"title":7},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":3555,"title":7}],"citation":"89 FR 82484","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The effective date of the two regulatory waivers is November 4, 2024.
