24 C.F.R. § 888.202
§ 888.202 Manner of publication. (24 CFR Part 888)
Operative Text
Adjustment Factors will be published in the Federal Register at least annually by Notice. Interim revisions may be published as market conditions indicate. In the case of revised factors applicable only to specific areas, the HUD Field Office will publish a notice appropriate to the limited scope of the revised factors (see § 888.204).
Under 24 CFR Part 888 § 888.202, HUD is required to publish its Annual Adjustment Factors in the Federal Register at least once a year through an official Notice. If market conditions shift significantly, interim revisions may also be issued between annual publications. When revised factors apply only to particular geographic areas rather than nationally, the relevant HUD Field Office—rather than a national publication—handles the notice, keeping the announcement appropriately scoped to the affected region.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under HUD programs that rely on Annual Adjustment Factors should monitor the Federal Register for Notices issued under 24 CFR Part 888 § 888.202, as these publications set the adjustment factors that can affect contract rents. Compliant operators generally track both the standard annual publication and any interim revisions that HUD may release when market conditions warrant. For properties in specific localities, operators also watch for area-limited notices issued by the applicable HUD Field Office, as described in § 888.202.

Under 24 CFR Part 888 § 888.202, the adjustment factors that influence rents in certain HUD-assisted housing are matters of public record, published in the Federal Register and, for localized changes, through HUD Field Office notices. Tenants in HUD-assisted programs can review these published notices to understand what adjustment factors apply to their area and whether any interim revisions have been issued. Tenant-rights organizations and HUD's regional Field Offices can be useful resources for locating and interpreting the notices relevant to a specific program or region under § 888.202.
