SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On November 19, 2025, HUD published “ Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program: Announcement of Fee to Cover Credit Subsidy Costs for FY 2026” in the Federal Register (90 FR 51992). That notice set forth in detail the methodology that HUD will use for setting the amount of the fee that HUD will impose to offset the credit subsidy costs of the guaranteed loans pursuant to commitments awarded in Fiscal Year 2026 in the event HUD is required or authorized by statute to do so, notwithstanding subsection (m) of section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. Through that notice, HUD set the fee at 0.58 percent of the principal amount of the guaranteed loan.

II. Request for Comments

Notwithstanding the setting of the fee in the November 19 notice, HUD desires to solicit comments from the public with respect to the methodology adopted to determine the fee. For details with respect to the methodology please review the November 19 publication of the notice at 90 FR 51992.

Because the notice with the methodology has been available to the public since November 19, HUD is setting an abbreviated public comment period of seven days. The deadline to solicit comments is January 28, 2026.

Ronald J. Kurtz,

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
