**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
On July 7, 2023, (88 FR 43371), HUD published a final notice establishing the physical inspection scoring and ranking methodology to implement HUD's National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE) rule for Public Housing and Multifamily Housing programs, including Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) and other Multifamily assisted housing, Section 202/811 programs, and HUD-insured Multifamily as described in the NSPIRE rule. HUD provided the model used to calculate inspection sample sizes and calculated the sample size for every possible population of units by applying the model. In reviewing the July 7, 2023, final notice, HUD identified two inadvertent errors in Table 9 in Section V entitled, “Number of Units Sampled Under NSPIRE Scoring and Sampling Methodology Based on Property Size.” Specifically, the rows listing number of units in the property in the following two rows are in error.
| Units in property | UPCS | NSPIRE |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 111-132 | 22-23 | 26 |
| 133-166 | 23-24 | 27 |
HUD is correcting the error so that these rows read as follows:
| Units in property | UPCS | NSPIRE |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 111-133 | 22-23 | 26 |
| 134-166 | 23-24 | 27 |
The UPCS and NSPIRE sample sizes are unchanged.
For the convenience of the public, HUD is correcting this error by republishing Table 9 in its entirety.
**Correction**
In the *Federal Register* of July 7, 2023, in FR Doc. 2023-14362, on pages 43379-43380, replace Table 9 titled, “Number of Units Sampled Under NSPIRE Scoring and Sampling Methodology Based on Property Size” with the following:
