Sec.  983.7  Uniform Relocation Act.



    (a) Relocation assistance for displaced person. (1) A displaced 

person must be provided relocation assistance at the levels described in 

and in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Relocation 

Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA) (42 

U.S.C. 4201-4655) and implementing regulations at 49 CFR part 24.

    (2) The cost of required relocation assistance may be paid with 

funds provided by the owner, or with local public funds, or with funds 

available from other sources. Relocation costs may not be paid from 

voucher program funds; however, provided payment of relocation benefits 

is consistent with state and local law, PHAs may use their 

administrative fee reserve to pay for relocation assistance after all 

other program administrative expenses are satisfied. Use of the 

administrative fee reserve in this manner must be consistent with legal 

and regulatory requirements, including the requirements of 24 CFR 

982.155 and other official HUD issuances.

    (b) Real property acquisition requirements. The acquisition of real 

property for a PBV project is subject to the URA and 49 CFR part 24, 

subpart B.

    (c) Responsibility of PHA. The PHA must require the owner to comply 

with the URA and 49 CFR part 24.

    (d) Definition of initiation of negotiations. In computing a 

replacement housing payment to a residential tenant displaced as a 

direct result of privately undertaken rehabilitation or demolition of 

the real property, the term ``initiation of negotiations'' means the 

execution of the Agreement between the owner and the PHA.
