within a metropolitan area, such
metropolitan area; or
(b) In the case of any area not located
within a metropolitan area, the State in
which the area is located.
2. High Concentration of Eligible
Assets: A high rate of default or
foreclosure for single-family mortgages
insured under the National Housing Act
has resulted, or may result, in the area.
3. Low Homeownership Rate: The rate
for homeownership of single-family
homes in the area is substantially below

of subsidy a PHA receives under the

PHAs that submit an appeal of the
amount of operating subsidy, for a total
2,060 PHAs that submit annually. The

varies by size of the PHA, with a total
reporting burden of 36,025 hours: An
average of 20.37 hours per respondent

hours per respondent for appeals.
