  In addition to designating the 2012 DDAs, this notice seeks public comment on whether HUD should change the methodology for determining metropolitan DDAs to use Small Area FMRs (SAFMRS). To view an evaluative list of metropolitan zip codes that would be designated Small Area DDAs (SADDAs) using this methodology based on the data available to HUD at the time of this publication, click the button below. The list is for evaluative purposes only and should not be construed as a list of areas eligible for the DDA basis boost or areas that will become DDAs.
