The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has proposed a rule that would undo most of the changes it made to its floodplain and wetland regulations earlier this year.
Why it matters: This is largely a corrective administrative action to align HUD’s regulations with current executive orders. It changes which standards apply to building and managing property near flood zones and wetlands.
Who it affects
- Property developers and builders working on projects involving federal funds or oversight
This is a proposed rule from HUD; readers should consult the Federal Register to see how these changes might impact specific projects before relying on them.
Agency: Housing and Urban Development Department
