**(a) Determination of relationship to Federal cost limits**
(1) **Initial determination** — For each eligible low-income housing project appraised under [section 4103(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title12-section4103/a&num=0&edition=prelim), the Secretary shall determine whether the aggregate preservation rents for the project determined under paragraph (1) or (2) of [section 4104(b) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title12-section4104/b&num=0&edition=prelim) exceed the amount determined by multiplying 120 percent of the fair market rental (established under [section 1437f(c) of title 42](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section1437f/c&num=0&edition=prelim)) for the market area in which the housing is located by the number of dwelling units in the project (according to appropriate unit sizes).

**(a) Determination of relationship to Federal cost limits**
(1) **Initial determination** — For each eligible low-income housing project appraised under [section 4103(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title12-section4103/a&num=0&edition=prelim), the Secretary shall determine whether the aggregate preservation rents for the project determined under paragraph (1) or (2) of [section 4104(b) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title12-section4104/b&num=0&edition=prelim) exceed the amount determined by multiplying 120 percent of the fair market rental (established under [section 1437f(c) of title 42](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section1437f/c&num=0&edition=prelim)) for the market area in which the housing is located by the number of dwelling units in the project (according to appropriate unit sizes).
(2) **Relevant local markets** — If the aggregate preservation rents for a project exceeds the amount determined under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall determine whether such aggregate rents exceed the amount determined by multiplying 120 percent of the prevailing rents in the relevant local market area in which the housing is located by the number of units in the project (according to the appropriate unit sizes). A relevant local market area shall be an area geographically smaller than a market area established by the Secretary under [section 1437f(c)(1) of title 42](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section1437f/c/1&num=0&edition=prelim) that is identifiable as a distinct rental market area.
