NOTICE: PROPOSED RULES

DOCUMENT ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUBJECT CATEGORY: Income Limit Modification

DATES: Comments on this advance notice of proposed rulemaking must be received on or before May 12, 2008 to be assured of consideration.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: The Rural Housing Service is proposing to revise the existing income limit structure for Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program (SFHGLP) eligibility. Instead of eligible adjusted income based on households ranging from 18 persons according to 7 CFR 1980.345 (a), a two tier income structure consisting of a 14 member household and a 58 member household is proposed. The new adjusted income limit for the 14 member household, for example, would be current adjusted income limit for the 4 member household. The present addon income limits for larger households will remain unchanged. The present multiple income limits (18 persons) are cumbersome, and the proposed consolidation is expected to simplify program delivery as well as allow the agency to serve additional qualified homebuyers. The SFHGLP is in partnership with many State Housing Agencies throughout the United States. The majority of these agencies already maintain a two tier income structure, and this proposed change would allow a seamless integration of the respective programs. This proposal would not apply to other housing programs.

SUMMARY: Income Limit Modification,
