Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Assessment Tool for Public 
Housing Agencies Solicitation of Comment-- 60-Day Notice Under 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; Correction

AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel, HUD.

ACTION: Notice, correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On March 23, 2016, HUD published its 60-day notice in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for its 
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Assessment Tool for Public 
Housing Agencies. In Section III of the notice, HUD inadvertently 
referred to the applicable assessment tool as the Assessment Tool for 
States and Insular Areas. This notice acknowledges the error in the 
notice, advises that HUD meant to reference the Assessment for Public 
Housing Agencies, and corrects this error.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dustin Parks, Office of Fair Housing 
and Equal Opportunity, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 
7th Street SW., Room 5249, Washington, DC 20410-0500; telephone number 
202-708-1112 (this is not a toll-free number). Hearing- and speech-
impaired persons can access this number through TTY by calling the 
Federal Relay Service at 800-877-8339 (this is a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 23, 2016, at 81 FR 15549, HUD 
published its notice soliciting comment for a period of 60-days, as 
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act, on its Affirmatively 
Furthering Fair Housing Assessment Tool for Public Housing Agencies 
(PHA Assessment Tool). This is the assessment tool to be used by public 
housing agencies (PHAs) in evaluating fair housing choice and access to 
opportunity in their jurisdictions, to identify barriers to fair 
housing choice and opportunity at the local and regional levels, and to 
set fair housing goals to overcome such barriers and advance fair 
housing choice. The PHA Assessment Tool is one of three assessment 
tools for which HUD has published notices for 60-day public comment. 
The other two assessment tools are the State and Insular Area 
Assessment Tool (81 FR 12921, published March 11, 2016) and the Local 
Government Assessment Tool (81 FR 15546, published March 23, 2016).
    In Section III of the notice, at 81 FR 15553, third column, HUD 
inadvertently referred to the applicable assessment tool as the State 
and Insular Area Assessment Tool. HUD intended the reference to be the 
PHA Assessment Tool. This notice acknowledges the error, advises that 
HUD meant to reference the PHA Assessment Tool, and corrects this 
error.
