1.LAW
NUMBER: P.L.106-569 (H.R. 5640) 2.BILL TITLE: American Homeownership
and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000 3.BILL PURPOSE: (1) Expands existing
programs to increase affordable housing opportunities for low-income,
elderly, and disabled people; (2) amends Native American housing programs
to promote affordable housing for Native Americans and Native Hawaiians;
(3) amends Federal construction, safety, and enforcement standards
for manufactured homes; and (4) authorizes changes to various banking
regulatory provisions. 4.OMB ESTIMATE: P.L.106-571 authorizes the
Federal Reserve Board to acquire a new office building. Although the
operations of the Board are not included in the Federal budget, the
net impact of the purchase of the building and the resulting lower
rental costs is estimated to reduce the net earnings transmitted to
the Treasury. OMB estimates that the earnings will be reduced by $37
million over 2001-2005. The Act also allows the owners of uninsured
section 236 housing projects to retain certain income rather than
returning it to the Federal government. This provision is estimated
to cost $36 million over 2002-2005. In addition, the Act changes the
spending of the fees charged for inspecting manufactured homes from
being mandatory to discretionary. However, no amounts have been appropriated
for this program to date, and without appropriations, OMB assumes
that the inspections and the fee collections will end. As a result,
OMB estimates no net cost for this provision. (Fiscal years; in millions
