Sec.  983.59  PHA-owned units.

    (a) Selection of PHA-owned units. The selection of PHA-owned units 
must be done in accordance with Sec.  983.51(e).
    (b) Inspection and determination of reasonable rent by independent 
entity. In the case of PHA-owned units, the following program services 
may not be performed by the PHA, but must be performed instead by an 
independent entity approved by HUD.
    (1) Determination of rent to owner for the PHA-owned units. Rent to 
owner for PHA-owned units is determined pursuant to Sec. Sec.  983.301 
through 983.305 in accordance with the same requirements as for other 
units, except that the independent entity approved by HUD must establish 
the initial contract rents based on an appraisal by a licensed, state-
certified appraiser; and
    (2) Inspection of PHA-owned units as required by Sec.  983.103(f).
    (c) Nature of independent entity. The independent entity that 
performs these program services may be the unit of general local 
government for the PHA jurisdiction (unless the PHA is itself the unit 
of general local government or an agency of such government) or another 
HUD-approved public or private independent entity.
    (d) Payment to independent entity and appraiser. (1) The PHA may 
only compensate the independent entity and appraiser from PHA ongoing 
administrative fee income (including amounts credited to the 
administrative fee reserve). The PHA may not use other program receipts 
to compensate the independent entity and appraiser for their services.
    (2) The PHA, independent entity, and appraiser may not charge the 
family any fee for the appraisal or the services provided by the 
independent entity.
