Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: To meet
the requirements of the Public Housing
Assessment System (PHAS) rule, the
Department has developed the financial
condition template that public housing
agencies (PHAs) use to annually submit
electronically specific financial
condition information to HUD. HUD
uses the financial condition information
it collects from each PHA to assist in the
evaluation and assessment of the PHAs’
overall condition.
To meet the requirements of 24 CFR
part 990, Revision to the Public Housing
Operating Fund Program; Final Rule,
financial condition information is to be
submitted by PHAs on the asset
management project (AMP) level. The
final rule states that, in accordance with
the directives received from the U.S.
Congress, PHAs and HUD are to convert
from an agency-centric model to an
asset management model. The asset
management model is more consistent
with the management norms in the
broader multi-family management
industry. In order to implement asset
management, the final rule stipulates
that PHAs must implement projectbased management, budgeting and
accounting. The final rule provides for
operating subsidy to be provided at the
project level with financial reporting
required at the project level, replacing
the current subsidy issuance and
financial reporting at the PHA or entitywide level.
Requiring PHAs to report
electronically has enabled HUD to
provide a more comprehensive
assessment of the PHAs receiving
federal funds from HUD.
Agency form number, if applicable:
N/A
Members of affected public: Public
housing agencies.
Estimation of the Total Number of
Hours Needed to Prepare the
Information Collection, Including
Number of Respondents: The estimated
number of respondents is 3,996 PHAs
that submit one audited financial
condition template annually and one
unaudited financial condition template
annually. The average number for each
PHA response is 10.5 hours, for a total
reporting burden of 41,885 hours.
Status of the Proposed Information
Collection: Revision of a currently
approved collection.
Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35,
as amended.

Through
the Fair Housing Assistance Program
(FHAP), HUD provides funding to state
and local fair housing agencies that
enforce laws HUD has deemed
substantially equivalent to the federal
Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601 et
seq.). HUD’s regulations for the FHAP
are codified at 24 CFR part 155 (entitled
‘‘Certification and Funding of State and
Local Fair Housing Enforcement
Agencies’’).
In order to participate in FHAP,
HUD’s Assistant Secretary for Fair
Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO)
must first determine whether a state or
local law, on its face, provides rights,
procedures, remedies and judicial
review provisions that are substantially
equivalent to the federal Fair Housing
Act. An affirmative conclusion that the
state or local law is substantially
equivalent on its face will result in HUD
offering the agency interim certification.
During the period of interim
certification, HUD’s Assistant Secretary
for FHEO will determine whether the
state or local law, in operation, provides
rights, procedures, remedies and the
availability of judicial review that are
substantially equivalent to the Fair
Housing Act. An affirmative conclusion
during interim certification that the
state or local law is substantially
equivalent both ‘‘on its face’’ and ‘‘in
operation’’ will result in HUD offering
the agency certification.
Certification is for a term of five years.
During the five years of certification, the
agency’s ability to maintain certification
will be assessed. After the five years of
certification, if the Assistant Secretary
for FHEO determines that the agency
still qualifies for certification, HUD will
renew the agency’s certification for
another five years.
In accordance with section 817 of the
Fair Housing Act and the regulation
implementing the FHAP at 24 CFR
115.102(a), HUD seeks public comment
on the following agencies that have been
granted interim certification:
• Arkansas Fair Housing Commission
(Arkansas).
• Broward County Office of Equal
Opportunity (Florida).
• City of Canton Fair Housing
Commission (Ohio).
• City of Duluth Human Rights Office
(Minnesota).
• City of North Olmstead, Ohio
