SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On September 24, 2020 (85 FR 60288), HUD published a final rule that amended HUD's disparate impact standard regulation and included minor revisions to § 100.70.

HUD intended, consistent with the proposed rule (84 FR 42854), to revise the already-existing paragraph (d)(5). This document corrects this instruction.
