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.
