Pursuant to its general rule-making power under § 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937,15 HUD has *275issued a Low-Rent Management Manual,16 which contains requirements that supplement the provisions of the annual contributions contract applicable to project management.17 According to HUD, these requirements “are the minimum considered consistent with fulfilling Federal responsibilities” under the Act.18 Changes in the manual are initially promulgated as circulars. These circulars, which have not yet been physically incorporated into the manual, are temporary additions or modifications of the manual’s requirements and “have the same effect.”19 In contrast, the various “handbooks” and “booklets” issued by HUD contain mere “instructions,” “technical suggestions,” and “items for consideration.” 20
