Given the considerable disagreement among commenters on our discretionary proposals to amend 7 CFR 273.2(f), we have decided to withdraw those proposed changes, with one exception as explained below, and retain current regulations. We may consider again proposing revisions to 7 CFR 273.2(f) in a future rulemaking. At this time, we are adopting into the regulations changes necessitated by PRWORA. In response to comments, we are retaining one sentence from the NPRM in the final rule. The final rule at 7 CFR 273.2(f) will remind State agencies to give households at least 10 days to provide required verification in accordance with 7 CFR 273.2(h)(1)(i)(C) and refer State agencies to 7 CFR 273.2(i)(4) which contain the verification procedures for expedited service cases. The regulations at current paragraph (f)(1)(xi) provide the requirements for verifying the shelter costs of homeless households who claim shelter costs greater than the homeless household shelter standard. In the NPRM, we proposed to revise the first sentence of this section to conform with Section 5(e) of the Act, 7 U.S.C. 2015(e)(5), as amended by Section 809 of PRWORA, which establishes an optional homeless household shelter deduction. This PRWORA change is discussed later in this preamble. The revised sentence requires homeless households claiming shelter expenses to provide verification of their shelter expenses in order to qualify for the homeless shelter deduction if the State agency has such a deduction. We also proposed to remove the language currently appearing in the second and third sentences of the paragraph which requires the eligibility worker to use prudent judgment in determining if the homeless household's
