  CHAPTER VIII--OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR HOUSING-FEDERAL

            Subpart B_Contract Rent Annual Adjustment Factors
 
Sec. 888.204  Revision to the automatic annual adjustment factors.

    If the application of the Annual Adjustment Factors results in rents 
that are substantially lower than rents charged for comparable units not 
receiving assistance under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, in the area for 
which the factor was published or a portion thereof, and it is shown to 
HUD that the costs of operating comparable rental housing have increased 
at a substantially greater rate than the Adjustment Factors, the HUD 
Field Office will consider establishing separate or revised Automatic 
Annual Adjustment Factors for that particular area. Any request for 
revision of the factors must be accompanied by an identification of the 
area, its boundaries and evidence that the area constitutes the largest 
contiguous area in which substantially

the same rent levels prevail. The HUD Field Office will publish 
appropriate notice of the establishment of any such revised Automatic 
Annual Adjustment Factors. These factors will remain in effect until 
superseded by the subsequent publication of Automatic Annual Adjustment 
Factors pursuant to Sec. 888.202.
