The
Department will submit the proposed
information collection to OMB for
review, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended). This Notice is
soliciting comments from members of
the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information to: (1) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (3) enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
This Notice also lists the following
information:

OMB Control Number: 2577—

Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: On
September 19, 2005 (70 FR 54983), HUD

regulations of the Public Housing
Operating Fund Program at 24 CFR part

990, which was developed through
negotiated rulemaking. Part 990
provides a new formula for distributing
operating subsidy to public housing
agencies (PHAs) and establishes
requirements for PHAs to convert to
asset management.
Subpart H of the part 990 regulations
(§§ 990.255 to 990.290) establishes the
requirements regarding asset
management. Under § 990.260(a), PHAs
that own and operate 250 or more
dwelling rental units must operate using
an asset management model consistent
with the subpart H regulations.
However, for the current fiscal year, that
regulation is superseded by section 225
of Title II of Division K of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008,
Public Law 110–161 (approved
December 26, 2007). Under that law,
PHAs that own or operate 400 or fewer
units may elect to transition to asset
management, but they are not required
to do so.
To support the transition to asset
management and align HUD oversight
with asset management, a new
management review format is required
to review PHAs on a project level, rather
than PHA-wide. The forms are modeled
after the asset management model
consistent with the management norms
in the broader multifamily industry.
Agency form numbers: Forms HUD–
5834, HUD–5834–A, and HUD–5834–B.
Members of affected public: Public
housing agencies.
Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents: For form HUD–5834,
Management Review of Public Housing
Projects, there are 3,282 respondents
annually with one response per
respondent. Average time per response
is .95 hours and the total burden hours
are 3,118 hours. For form HUD–5834–A,
Tenant File Review, there are 821
respondents annually with one response
per respondent. Average time per
response is .50 hours and the total

Verification Review, there are 821
respondents annually with one response
per respondent. Average time per
response is .50 hours and the total
burden hours are 410.50 hours.

collection: New collection.

Once agencies are participating in the
FHAP, HUD collects sufficient
information to monitor agency
performance in accordance with 24 CFR
115.206, which sets forth the
performance standards for agencies
participating in the FHAP. These
standards are meant to ensure that the
state or local law, both ‘‘on its face’’ and
‘‘in operation,’’ provides substantive
rights, procedures, remedies, and
judicial review procedures for alleged
discriminatory housing practices that
are substantially equivalent to those
provided in the FHA. In addition, HUD
collects sufficient information to
monitor agency compliance with 24
CFR 115.307 and 24 CFR 115.308,
which set forth requirements for FHAP
participation and reporting and record
keeping requirements including, but not
limited to, the requirement that FHAP
agencies use HUD’s official complaint
data information system, and input
complaint processing information into
that system in a timely manner.
