Background
The Secretary of HUD has established the Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee on Operating Fund Allocation to negotiate and develop a proposed rule that would change the current method of determining the payment of operating subsidies to PHAs. The establishment of the committee is required by the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 105-276, approved October 21, 1998) (the ``Public Housing Reform Act''). The Public Housing Reform Act makes extensive changes to HUD's public and assisted housing programs. These changes include the establishment of an Operating Fund for the purpose of making assistance available to PHAs for the operation and management of public housing. The Public Housing Reform Act requires that the assistance to be made available from the new Operating Fund be determined using a formula developed through negotiated rulemaking procedures.
