Title: Section 8 Tenant Based Assistance: Statutory Merger (FR-4428) 
Abstract: On May 14, 1999 (64 FR 26632), HUD published for public comment an interim rule amending the regulations for the Section 8 tenant-based rental voucher program. The interim rule implemented most of the Section 8 tenant-based program provisions contained in the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (the "Public Housing Reform Act"). Of particular significance, the May 14, 1999 interim rule implemented section 545 of the Public Housing Reform Act. Section 545 provides for the complete merger of the Section 8 tenant-based Certificate and Voucher programs. The new tenant-based program has features of the previously authorized certificate and voucher programs plus new features. This rule makes final the policies and procedures in the May 14, 1999 interim rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the interim rule.
