HUD published Notice PIH 2022-38/FPM-19-2022: Reporting Supplement to the Implementation of the Final Rule on Section 3 Regulations – 24 CFR Part 75. This Notice provides supplementary guidance to Notice PIH 2022-10, which was issued to public housing agencies and authorities (PHAs) on April 18, 2022.
Per PIH Notice 2022-10, Section 3 Performance Evaluation and Registration System (SPEARS) is no longer used for Section 3 compliance reporting. Instead, PHAs will report in a successor system that is still in development and will not be available for PHAs in accordance with the reporting dates published in Section VI of PIH 2022-10. Therefore, PHAs are not required to report on Section 3 labor hours or other Section 3 compliance efforts to HUD until further notice. HUD will provide further notification when and through what means reporting will be required with appropriate lead time to allow for reporting processes to be adjusted if necessary. Visit the Section 3 page for additional information and resources related to Section 3.
