Implementing Executive Order 13992, Revocation of Certain Executive Orders Concerning Federal Regulation

Document 2021-14019 is a Final Rule published by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in the Federal Register on July 6, 2021, with an effective date of August 5, 2021. On November 10, 2020, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD, or the Department) published an interim final rule that implemented Executive Order 13891, "Promoting the Rule of Law Through Improved Agency Guidance Documents." This order required Federal agencies to publish regulations to codify processes and procedures for issuing guidance documents. HUD created new regulations that outlined HUD policy and procedures for issuing guidance documents. On January 20, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 13992, "Revocation of Certain Executive Orders Concerning Federal Regulation" which, among other things, revoked Executive Order 13891. After considering the public comments HUD received in response to its interim final rule and given the revocation of Executive Order 13891, this final rule removes the regulations HUD created in January.
