That sentence, in plain words

The housing agency must post any change to the dollar limits. It posts them in the Federal Register. Each figure is rounded down to the next whole dollar.

What this is about

The Federal Register is the daily notice paper of the government. A change posted there is public. Rounding down keeps the figures whole.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
