                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
CHAPTER IX--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING, 
               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 902--PUBLIC HOUSING ASSESSMENT SYSTEM--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart A--General Provisions
 
Sec. 902.5  Applicability.

    (a) PHAs, RMCs, AMEs.  (1) Scoring of RMCs and AMEs. This part 
applies to PHAs, Resident Management Corporations (RMCs) and Alternate 
Management Entities (AMEs), as described in this section. As described 
in this section, this part is also applicable to RMCs that receive 
direct funding from HUD in accordance with section 20 of the 1937 Act 
(DF-RMCs).
    (i) RMCs and DF-RMCs will be assessed and issued their own numeric 
scores under the PHAS based on the public housing developments or 
portions of public housing developments that they manage and the 
responsibilities they assume which can be scored under PHAS. References 
in this part to PHAs include RMCs and this part is applicable to RMCs 
unless stated otherwise. References in this part to RMCs include DF-RMCs 
and this part is applicable to DF-RMCs unless otherwise stated.
    (ii) AMEs are not issued PHAS scores. The performance of the AME 
contributes to the PHAS score of the PHA or PHAs for which they assumed 
management responsibilities.
    (2) PHA ultimate responsible entity under ACC, except where DF-RMC 
assumes management operations. (i) Because the PHA and not the RMC/AME 
is ultimately responsible to HUD under the ACC, the PHAS score of a PHA 
will be based on all of the developments covered by the ACC, including 
those with management operations assumed by an RMC or AME (including a 
court ordered receivership agreement, if applicable).
    (ii) A PHA's PHAS score will not be based on developments managed by 
a DF-RMC.
    (b) Implementation of PHAS. The regulations in this part are 
applicable to PHAs with fiscal years ending on and after June 30, 2000, 
unless HUD, through Federal Register, notice revises the implementation 
date to later date.
    (1) For PHAs that are not issued PHAS scores. Under certain 
circumstances, PHAs may not be issued PHAS scores. For these PHAs, in 
lieu of a PHAS score, HUD will issue the following:
    (i) PHAS Advisory Score. A PHA will be issued a PHAS advisory score 
for all PHAS indicators--Indicators 1 (Physical), 2 
(Financial), 3 (Management Operations), and 4 
(Resident Service and Satisfaction). The PHA must comply with the 
requirements of this part so that HUD may issue the advisory score. 
Physical inspections required to be conducted by PHAs under the 
Management Operations Indicator will be conducted using HUD uniform 
physical inspection protocol, unless HUD provides, through Federal 
Register notice, that PHAs may use HUD's Housing Quality Standards.
    (ii) Management Assessment Score. A PHA will receive an assessment 
score on the basis of HUD's assessment of the PHA's management 
operations in accordance with subpart D of this part.
