LEVENTHAL, Circuit Judge:
This case is one of three related cases decided today which involve the procedural rights of tenants of housing, constructed under various provisions of the Federal housing legislation, prior to official approval of rent increases. In Thompson v. Washington, No. 71-2049, 162 U.S.App.D.C. -, 497 F.2d 626, we hold that tenants of low-rent public housing are entitled not only to receive notice of proposed rent increases but also to participate in the process of official consideration of rent increases by making written presentations. In Marshall v. Lynn, No. 71-1786, 162 U.S.App.D.C.-, 497 F.2d 643, we hold that such opportunities must also be afforded tenants of low- and moderate-income housing constructed, pursuant to § 221(d)(3) of the National Housing Act, with both FHA mortgage insurance and below-market-interest-rate loans. In the case at bar we hold that the opportunity to participate need not be accorded tenants of housing constructed under § 220 of the Housing Act as part of area redevelopment plans. I. INTRODUCTION
