(FMRs)for the Housing Choice Voucher Program and Moderate Rehabilitation Single-Room Occupancy Program. This notice makes technical corrections to the market rents in nine areas. These corrections are made because incorrect application of state minimum rents resulted in some minor decreases for certain bedroom rents in Binghamton, NY, Elmira, NY, Jamestown, NY, Utica-Rome, NY, and Altoona, PA. In addition, a calculation error resulted in lower FMRs for two metropolitan counties, Henderson County, TX and Culpeper County, VA. Finally, the San Francisco, CA and Oklahoma City, OK FMR areas have been recalculated and corrected. Accordingly, FR Doc 02-24619, the Notice of Fiscal Year 2003 Fair Market Rents for the Housing Choice Voucher Program and Moderate Rehabilitation Single-Room Occupancy Program, published on September 30, 2002 (67 FR 61382) is corrected as follows: 1.
