On October 14, 2016, the final rule, together with an accompanying Processing Guide, clarifies which individuals and entities will undergo previous participation review. The final rule clarifies which individuals and entities will be reviewed, the purpose of the review, and the review to be undertaken. The final rule also provides HUD with flexibility as to the necessary previous participation review for entities and individuals that is not possible in a one-size fits all approach. Previous Participation regulations are found at 24 CFR part 200, subpart H.
Processing Guide (Guide)

The Guide defines controlling participants for previous participation review, new flag approval, and rejection guidance and flag protocols in federal programs of certain participants seeking to take part in multifamily housing and healthcare programs administered by HUD’s Office of Housing. The Guide aids in clarifying and simplifying the process by which HUD reviews previous participation of participants that have decision making authority over their projects as one component of HUD’s responsibility to assess financial and operational risk to projects in these programs.
This Guide updates and clarifies previous procedures and supersedes outstanding policy and guidance concerning previous participation review.
