HUD/HUDSEC RIN: 2501-AC75 Publication ID: Spring 2005 
Title: Fair Market Rents Programs: Increased Fair Market Rents for Certain Areas and Higher Payment Standards (FR-4606) 
Abstract: Section 8(c)(1) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 requires the Secretary to publish Fair Market Rents (FMRs) annually to be effective on October 1 of each year. FMRs are used to determine payment standard amounts for the Housing Choice Voucher program, to determine initial renewal rents for some expiring project-based Section 8 contracts, and to determine initial rents for housing assistance payments (HAP) contracts in the Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy program. HUD's regulations governing FMRs are found in 24 CFR part 888. On October 2, 2000, HUD published an interim rule that made certain changes to these regulations. The final rule will take into consideration the public comments received on the interim rule.
