Analyzed Economic Effects

Paperwork burden: 30 PHAs, 30 hours, $2,680.50
The information-collection estimate for the HUD-50166 MTW ACC Amendment lists 30 respondents, each with 1 response per annum and 30 burden hours per response. The table shows an hourly cost of $89.35 and a cost figure of $2,680.50 associated with the collection.
MTW ACC Amendment sets PHA participation rules
HUD proposes an amendment to the Annual Contributions Contract (Form HUD-50166, OMB Control No. 2577-0294) that designates public housing agencies (PHAs) as Moving to Work (MTW) agencies and establishes the basic terms and conditions for new PHAs and existing MTW PHAs seeking to be governed under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113, approved December 18, 2015). The amendment requires the PHA to follow the MTW Operations Notice and the applicable MTW Selection Notice, preserves existing ACC provisions except where waived by those notices, and outlines PHA transition-out rules and HUD termination rights upon PHA default.

2026-16228, HUD's Implementation of the Fair Housing Act's Disparate Impact Standard; Amendments to HUD's Title VI Regulations
HUD published a notice of proposed rulemaking in January of 2026 that proposed to remove HUD's disparate-impact regulations and leave interpretation of disparate-impact liability under the Fair Housing Act to the courts. This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking continues HUD's efforts to remove or revise regulations that prohibit conduct having a disparate impact without evidence of discriminatory intent. Through this rule, HUD is proposing to remove provisions in HUD's Title VI implementing regulations that impose disparate-impact liability on recipients of HUD Federal financial assistance. If finalized, this rule would improve consistency within HUD's own regulations and between HUD's regulations and the Title VI regulations recently revised by the Department of Justice (DOJ). This rule reopens the public comment period of HUD's January 2026 proposed rule on disparate-impact liability; HUD will only consider comments on topics related to this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking during the reopened comment period.
