Sec.  982.206  Waiting list: Opening and closing; public notice.

    (a) Public notice. (1) When the PHA opens a waiting list, the PHA 
must give public notice that families may apply for tenant-based 
assistance. The public notice must state where and when to apply.
    (2) The PHA must give the public notice by publication in a local 
newspaper of general circulation, and also by minority media and other 
suitable means. The notice must comply with HUD fair housing 
requirements.
    (3) The public notice must state any limitations on who may apply 
for available slots in the program.
    (b) Criteria defining what families may apply. (1) The PHA may adopt 
criteria defining what families may apply for assistance under a public 
notice.
    (2) If the waiting list is open, the PHA must accept applications 
from families for whom the list is open unless there is good cause for 
not accepting the application (such as denial of assistance because of 
action or inaction by members of the family) for the grounds stated in 
Sec. Sec.  982.552 and 982.553.
    (c) Closing waiting list. If the PHA determines that the existing 
waiting list contains an adequate pool for use of available program 
funding, the PHA may stop accepting new applications, or may accept only 
applications meeting criteria adopted by the PHA.
