SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error in HUD's final 
rule on Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, published on July 16,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 16, 2015, at 42271, HUD published a 
final rule to provide HUD program participants with an approach to help 
them better incorporate into their planning processes the duty to 
affirmatively further the purposes and policies of the Fair Housing 
Act, so they can more effectively meet their long-standing fair housing 
obligations. Under this rule, recipients of HUD funds will prepare an 
Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), developed in accordance with 
requirements provided in the rule, and will submit the AFH to HUD. In 
detailing submission requirements, the rule explains when different 
program participants must submit to HUD their first AFH. New regulatory 
Sec.  5.160 contains submission deadlines for program participants to 
submit their first AFHs to HUD. Section 5.160(a)(1)(i)(C) in the final 
rule, which describes the deadline by when consolidated plan 
participants that are Insular Areas or States must submit their first 
AFH to HUD, inadvertently omitted the word ``year'' after ``program'' 
and omitted the word ``plan'' after the second occurrence of the word 
``consolidated.'' Therefore, this document revises 24 CFR 
5.160(a)(1)(i)(C) to include these two missing words.

Correction

    Accordingly, FR Doc. 2015-17032, Affirmatively Furthering Fair 
Housing (FR-5173-F-04), published in the Federal Register on July 16, 
2015 (80 FR 42271) is corrected as follows:
    On page 42357, revise the first full paragraph in the third column, 
beginning on the third line of the column (24 CFR 5.160(a)(1)(i)(C)), 
to read as follows ``(C) For consolidated plan participants that are 
Insular Areas or States, the program year that begins on or after 
January 1, 2018 for which a new consolidated plan is due, as provided 
in 24 CFR 91.15(b)(2); and''
