Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing: Withdrawal of Notice 
Extending the Deadline for Submission of Assessment of Fair Housing for 
Consolidated Plan Participants

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity, HUD.

ACTION: Notice; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: This notice withdraws HUD's January 5, 2018, notice extending 
the submission deadline for an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) by 
local government consolidated plan program participants.

DATES: Applicable May 23, 2018, the document published at 83 FR 683 on 
January 5, 2018, is withdrawn.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Krista Mills, Deputy Assistant 
Secretary, Office of Policy, Legislative Initiatives, and Outreach, 
Office Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, Department of Housing and 
Urban Development, 451 7th Street SW, Room 5246, Washington, DC 20410; 
telephone number 202-402-6577. Individuals with hearing or speech 
impediments may access this number via TTY by calling the toll-free 
Federal Relay Service during working hours at 1-800-877-8339.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD's Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing 
(AFFH) regulations (24 CFR 5.150-5.168) provide that program 
participants must submit an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) using a 
HUD-provided assessment tool. See e.g., 24 CFR 5.154. The regulations 
further provide a schedule of time frames by which different types of 
program participants must submit an assessment using the appropriate 
HUD-provided tool. See 24 CFR 5.160(a). These time frames are connected 
to an individual program participant's multi-year consolidated planning 
process. On January 5, 2018, at 83 FR 683, HUD published a Federal 
Register notice extending the time frame applicable to local government 
consolidated plan program participants. HUD is withdrawing the January 
5, 2018, notice. If HUD later finds it prudent to revise the 
regulations, including by revising the submission schedule, HUD will 
publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to that effect for public 
comment.

    Dated: May 18, 2018.
