A minor revision has been made to the form HUD-9834 (Addendum B, Part B). The change results from concerns raised by the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity staff regarding the question 2 on Addendum B, Part B, which directs the owner to proceed to question 5 when responding “No” to question 2, which was not the intent of the questionnaire. Therefore, a revised form HUD-9834 has been posted to HUD Clips and is dated 6/2009. www.QuantityQuotes.net, developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to make it easy to comparison shop for energy-efficient products, is a site that provides quotes for bulk purchases of Energy Star compliant light bulbs, light fixtures, washers, dishwashers, dehumidifiers, refrigerators, and room air conditioners.
