HUD delays the effective date of the January 27, 2009, final rule until September 30,2009. A delay until September 30, 2009 will provide HUD with additional time to review the public comments received in response to the February 11, 2009, notice, respond to those comments in a subsequent publication, and consider whether additional regulations or changes to the regulations in the January 27, 2009, final rule are necessary or appropriate. Since September 30, 2009, is the date in the January 27, 2009, final rule for multifamily housing owners and management agents to implement the use of EIV, the Department has determined not to provide additional delay in implementation in the use of EIV for multifamily housing owners and management agents as provided in the January 27, 2009, final rule. The implementation date for public housing agencies, multifamily housing owners, and management agents will now all be the same as the new effective date, September 30, 2009. Should HUD determine that additional rulemaking is necessary or appropriate, HUD will provide the public with the opportunity to comment on any proposed changes to the regulations in the January 27, 2009, final rule.
