2. Description of the Need for the
Information Collection and Proposed
Use
HUD’s Office of Multifamily Housing
Programs needs to collect this
information in order to establish an
applicant’s eligibility for admittance to
subsidized housing, specify which
eligible applicants may be given priority
over others, and prohibit racial
discrimination in conjunction with
selection of tenants and unit
assignments.
HUD must specify tenant eligibility
requirements as well as how tenants’
incomes, rents and assistance must be
verified and computed so as to prevent
HUD from making improper payments
to owners on behalf of assisted tenants.
HUD must also provide annual reports
to Congress, Census Bureau and the
public on the race/ethnicity and gender
composition of HUD program
beneficiaries. These information
collections are essential to maintain a
standard of fair practices in providing
rental assistance to low-income families
in HUD Multifamily properties.

the following statutes:
• Section 8 (42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.).

TRACS Industry Working Group
HUD established a working group in
February 2012 to identify enhancements
for TRACS Release 202D. The working
group consists of 123 members from
HUD Industry Partners (Contract
Administrators, Occupancy Trainers,
Owners, Property Management Agents,
state housing finance agencies, and
Occupancy Software Vendors) and HUD
staff. The working group conducted
eighteen work sessions to determine the
requirements for TRACS Release 202D.
During these sessions, forms relative to
2502–0204 were finalized for OMB
forms approval (see Exhibit 1 for TRACS
Industry Working Group Members.)
On January 14 and 15, 2014, HUD
held the Quarterly TRACS Industry
Meeting in Washington DC for
approximately 130 Industry Partners
(Contract Administrators, Owners/
Agents, Service Bureaus, Trainers and
Software Vendors). During the Industry
Meeting, a special session was
conducted where each form relative to
2502–0204 were presented to the
attendees for open discussion. After the
Industry Meeting, the Form Presentation
was posted to the HUD TRACS
Announcement Web page for review.
On February 20, 2014, HUD held a
Virtual Meeting with 115 Contract
Administrators and HUD staff where the
forms and TRACS 202D enhancements
were presented followed by a question
and answer period. No comments from
the Quarterly TRACS Industry Meeting,
Postings or Virtual Meeting resulted in
changes to the forms being submitted to
OMB for review and final approval.
HUD consulted with the following
industry partners to discuss ways in
which the burden to owners/
management agents and tenants can be
reduced and the impact these revised
collections will have on the tenant
certification and subsidy payment
processes. After discussion, the
conclusion was reached that these
revised collections had been fully
documented in the TRACS Monthly
Activity Transaction (MAT) Guide and
software vendors would have very little
impact due to the fact that the
requirements are already in place and
the provision of HUD forms, notices,
leases, etc., in lieu of using documents
they or their software contractor have
developed, ensures their compliance
with the revised program requirements.
The new TRACS MAT Guide for
TRACS 202(d) has been approved by
industry partners and is located at:
https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/

mfh/trx/trxsum
TRACS Software Vendors
TRACS collections are 100%
electronic, which required HUD to
coordinate system development with 20
software firms through a defined system

TRACS 202(d) Development Lifecycle
Each of the 21 software vendors listed
above agreed to systems development
life cycle composed of the following
defined and distinct work phases which
are used by systems engineers and
systems developers to plan for, design,
build, test, and deliver information
systems (includes all OMB approved
data collections forms under 2502–
0204):
• Preliminary analysis: The objective
of phase 1 is to conduct a preliminary
analysis, propose alternative solutions,
describe costs and benefits and submit
a preliminary plan with
recommendations.
• Systems analysis, requirements
definition: Defines project goals into
defined functions and operation of the
intended application and OMB
approved forms.
• Systems design: Describes desired
features and operations in detail,
including screen layouts, business rules,
process diagrams, pseudo-code and
other documentation.
• Development: The real code is
written here.
• Integration and testing: Brings all
the pieces together into a special TRACS
testing environment hosted within
HUD’s infrastructure, then TRACS
checks each vendor’s software for errors,
bugs and interoperability.
• Acceptance, installation,
deployment: The final stage of initial
development, TRACS 202(d) Release
software was put into production.
Note: The 21 software vendors listed above
cannot implement TRACS 202(d) until OMB
approves the HUD-Forms under collection
number 2502–0204.
HUD Seeks Approval Not To Display
the Expiration Date for OMB Approval
of the Information Collection
All forms will be posted on HUD’s
Web site (www.hudclips.org) and will
contain the OMB expiration date.
However, HUD requests forms produced
by automated systems not display or
print the OMB expiration date.
HUD is seeking an extension not to
display/print the expiration date on
forms included in these information
collections. To reduce this burden on
Software Vendors, HUD is requesting an
extension for Vendor software
applications to reference/display the
HUDCLIPS URL (www.hudclips.org).
HUDCLIPS contains official HUD forms
depicting the OMB expiration date and
OMB control number. When OMB
Estimated
number of
respondents
Form No.
Estimated
number of
responses
changes an expiration date on a form,
HUD loads the form with the new
expiration date onto HUDCIPS.
Allowing Vendor’s to use screens,
facsimiles and reference HUDCLIPS
eliminates the need for software vendors
to change their existing applications to
accommodate new OMB mandated
expiration dates.
Whenever a HUD form changes or a
new form is added, Industry Software
Vendors must perform the software
development life cycle phases
(Analysis, Design, Development, Testing
and Implementation, etc.) to ensure the
change gets implemented at roughly
26,800 HUD Business Partner sites.
With a number of HUD forms being
relatively static, only the form
expiration date changes over time.
Software Vendors incur unnecessary
cost when modifying their software
applications to accommodate changing
expiration dates. An expiration date
change in vendor software adds no
value.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart I,
Platforms and Structures.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0011.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to prescribe rules and regulations
necessary for the administration of the
leasing provisions of that Act related to
mineral resources on the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease,
right-of-way, or a right-of-use and
easement. Operations on the OCS must
preserve, protect, and develop oil and
natural gas resources in a manner that
is consistent with the need to make such
resources available to meet the Nation’s
energy needs as rapidly as possible; to
balance orderly energy resource
development with protection of human,
marine, and coastal environments; to
ensure the public a fair and equitable
return on the resources of the OCS; and
to preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition. Section 43 U.S.C. 1356
requires the issuance of ‘‘. . .
regulations which require that any
vessel, rig, platform, or other vehicle or
structure . . . (2) which is used for
activities pursuant to this subchapter,
comply . . . with such minimum
standards of design, construction,
alteration, and repair as the Secretary
. . . establishes. . . .’’ Section 43 U.S.C.
1332(6) also states ‘‘operations in the
[O]uter Continental Shelf should be
conducted in a safe manner . . . to
prevent or minimize the likelihood of
. . . physical obstruction to other users
of the water or subsoil and seabed, or
other occurrences which may cause
damage to the environment or to
property, or endanger life or health.’’
In addition to the general authority of
OCSLA, section 301(a) of the Federal
Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act
(FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C. 1751(a), grants
authority to the Secretary to prescribe
such rules and regulations as are
reasonably necessary to carry out
FOGRMA’s provisions. While the
majority of FOGRMA is directed to
royalty collection and enforcement,
some provisions apply to offshore
PO 00000

operations. For example, section
109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30 U.S.C. 1719(c)(2)
and (d)(1), impose substantial civil
penalties for failure to permit lawful
inspections and for knowing or willful
preparation or submission of false,
inaccurate, or misleading reports,
records, or other information. The
Secretary has delegated some of the
authority under FOGRMA to BSEE.
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and OMB Circular A–25,
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. Under the Department
of the Interior’s implementing policy,
BSEE is required to charge fees for
services that provide special benefits or
privileges to an identifiable non-Federal
recipient above and beyond those which
accrue to the public at large. Various
applications and reports for Platform
Verification Program, fixed structure,
Caisson/Well Protector, and
modification repairs are subject to cost
recovery, and BSEE regulations specify
service fees for these requests.
These authorities and responsibilities
are among those delegated to BSEE. The
regulations at 30 CFR part 250, Subpart
I, pertain to Platforms and Structures
and are the subject of this collection.
This request also covers the related
Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs)
that BSEE issues to clarify, supplement,
or provide additional guidance on some
aspects of our regulations.
Regulations implementing these
responsibilities are among those
delegated to BSEE. While most
responses are mandatory, some are
required to obtain or retain a benefit. No
questions of a sensitive nature are
asked. The BSEE protects information
considered proprietary under the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and DOI’s implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under
regulations at 30 CFR Part 250.197, Data
and information to be made available to
the public or for limited inspection, 30
CFR Part 252, OCS Oil and Gas
Information Program.
The BSEE uses the information
submitted under Subpart I to determine
the structural integrity of all OCS
platforms and floating production
facilities and to ensure that such
integrity will be maintained throughout
the useful life of these structures. We
use the information to ascertain, on a
case-by-case basis, that the fixed and
floating platforms and structures are
structurally sound and safe for their
intended use to ensure safety of

2. Description of the Need for the Information Collection and Proposed
Use
HUD's Office of Multifamily Housing Programs needs to collect this
information in order to establish an applicant's eligibility for
admittance to subsidized housing, specify which eligible applicants may
be given priority over others, and prohibit racial discrimination in
conjunction with selection of tenants and unit assignments.
HUD must specify tenant eligibility requirements as well as how
tenants' incomes, rents and assistance must be verified and computed so
as to prevent HUD from making improper payments to owners on behalf of
assisted tenants. HUD must also provide annual reports to Congress,
Census Bureau and the public on the race/ethnicity and gender
composition of HUD program beneficiaries. These information collections
are essential to maintain a standard of fair practices in providing
rental assistance to low-income families in HUD Multifamily properties.
a. These collections are authorized by the following statutes:

TRACS Industry Working Group
HUD established a working group in February 2012 to identify
enhancements for TRACS Release 202D. The working group consists of 123
members from HUD Industry Partners (Contract Administrators, Occupancy
Trainers, Owners, Property Management Agents, state housing finance
agencies, and Occupancy Software Vendors) and HUD staff. The working
group conducted eighteen work sessions to determine the requirements
for TRACS Release 202D. During these sessions, forms relative to 2502-
0204 were finalized for OMB forms approval (see Exhibit 1 for TRACS
Industry Working Group Members.)
On January 14 and 15, 2014, HUD held the Quarterly TRACS Industry
Meeting in Washington DC for approximately 130 Industry Partners
(Contract Administrators, Owners/Agents, Service Bureaus, Trainers and
Software Vendors). During the Industry Meeting, a special session was
conducted where each form relative to 2502-0204 were presented to the
attendees for open discussion. After the Industry Meeting, the Form
Presentation was posted to the HUD TRACS Announcement Web page for
review. On February 20, 2014, HUD held a Virtual Meeting with 115
Contract Administrators and HUD staff where the forms and TRACS 202D
enhancements were presented followed by a question and answer period.
No comments from the Quarterly TRACS Industry Meeting, Postings or
Virtual Meeting resulted in changes to the forms being submitted to OMB
for review and final approval.
HUD consulted with the following industry partners to discuss ways
in which the burden to owners/management agents and tenants can be
reduced and the impact these revised collections will have on the
tenant certification and subsidy payment processes. After discussion,
the conclusion was reached that these revised collections had been
fully documented in the TRACS Monthly Activity Transaction (MAT) Guide
and software vendors would have very little impact due to the fact that
the requirements are already in place and the provision of HUD forms,
notices, leases, etc., in lieu of using documents they or their
software contractor have developed, ensures their compliance with the
revised program requirements.
The new TRACS MAT Guide for TRACS 202(d) has been approved by
industry partners and is located at: https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/housing/mfh/trx/trxsum
TRACS Software Vendors
TRACS collections are 100% electronic, which required HUD to
coordinate system development with 20 software firms through a defined
system development lifecycle:

TRACS 202(d) Development Lifecycle
Each of the 21 software vendors listed above agreed to systems
development life cycle composed of the following defined and distinct
work phases which are used by systems engineers and systems developers
to plan for, design, build, test, and deliver information systems
(includes all OMB approved data collections forms under 2502-0204):
Preliminary analysis: The objective of phase 1 is to
conduct a preliminary analysis, propose alternative solutions, describe
costs and benefits and submit a preliminary plan with recommendations.
Systems analysis, requirements definition: Defines project
goals into defined functions and operation of the intended application
and OMB approved forms.
Systems design: Describes desired features and operations
in detail, including screen layouts, business rules, process diagrams,
pseudo-code and other documentation.
Development: The real code is written here.
Integration and testing: Brings all the pieces together
into a special TRACS testing environment hosted within HUD's
infrastructure, then TRACS checks each vendor's software for errors,
bugs and interoperability.
Acceptance, installation, deployment: The final stage of
initial development, TRACS 202(d) Release software was put into
production.
Note: The 21 software vendors listed above cannot implement
TRACS 202(d) until OMB approves the HUD-Forms under collection
number 2502-0204.
HUD Seeks Approval Not To Display the Expiration Date for OMB Approval
of the Information Collection
All forms will be posted on HUD's Web site (www.hudclips.org) and
will contain the OMB expiration date. However, HUD requests forms
produced by automated systems not display or print the OMB expiration
date.
HUD is seeking an extension not to display/print the expiration
date on forms included in these information collections. To reduce this
burden on Software Vendors, HUD is requesting an extension for Vendor
software applications to reference/display the HUDCLIPS URL
(www.hudclips.org). HUDCLIPS contains official HUD forms depicting the
OMB expiration date and OMB control number. When OMB changes an
expiration date on a form, HUD loads the form with the new expiration
date onto HUDCIPS. Allowing Vendor's to use screens, facsimiles and
reference HUDCLIPS eliminates the need for software vendors to change
their existing applications to accommodate new OMB mandated expiration
dates.
Whenever a HUD form changes or a new form is added, Industry
Software Vendors must perform the software development life cycle
phases (Analysis, Design, Development, Testing and Implementation,
etc.) to ensure the change gets implemented at roughly 26,800 HUD
Business Partner sites. With a number of HUD forms being relatively
static, only the form expiration date changes over time. Software
Vendors incur unnecessary cost when modifying their software
applications to accommodate changing expiration dates. An expiration
date change in vendor software adds no value.
