Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 240 / Friday, December 12, 2008 / Notices
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:
Title of Proposal: Training Evaluation
Form.
OMB Control Number: 2577—
Pending.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: On
September 19, 2005 (70 FR 54983), HUD
published a final rule amending the
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 calendar year 2008, that
regulation is superseded by § 225 of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.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2008, Public Law 110–161, also
provided ‘‘ * * * $5,940,000 for
competitive grants and contracts to third
parties for the provision of technical
assistance to public housing agencies

related to the transition and
implementation of asset-based
management in public housing.’’ The
contract now in effect will provide for
web-based training, on-site seminars
and on-site technical assistance to assist
PHAs in implementing asset
management. The Training Evaluation
Form will be used by the Office of
Public and Indian Housing to determine
how the training and technical
assistance can be improved to meet PHA
needs.
Agency form number, if applicable:
Pending.
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 29,288 annually with one
response per respondent. The average
number for each response is .033 hours,
for a total reporting burden of 966
hours.
Status of the proposed information
collection: New collection.
Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35,
as amended.
Dated: December 1, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority To Grant Waivers
The Department of Defense,
Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations To Address Hurricanes
in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic
Influenza Act, 2006 (Pub. L. 109–148,
approved December 30, 2005) (the 2006
Act) appropriated $11.5 billion in CDBG
funds for necessary expenses related to
disaster relief, long-term recovery, and
restoration of infrastructure directly
related to the consequences of the
covered disasters. The State of
Mississippi received an allocation of
$5,058,185,000 from this appropriation.
The 2006 Act authorized the Secretary
to waive, or specify alternative
requirements for, any provision of any
statute or regulation that the Secretary
administers in connection with the
obligation by the Secretary or use by the
recipient of these funds and guarantees,
except for requirements related to fair
housing, nondiscrimination, labor
standards, and the environment, upon a
request by the State and a finding by the
Secretary that such a waiver would not
be inconsistent with the overall purpose
of the statute. The law further provided
that the Secretary may waive the
requirement that activities benefit
persons of low and moderate income,
except that at least 50 percent of the
funds granted must benefit primarily
persons of low and moderate income,
unless the Secretary otherwise makes a
finding of compelling need.
Additionally, regulatory waiver
authority is provided by 24 CFR 5.110.
The following waivers and alternative
requirements came in response to
written requests from the State of
Mississippi and are being retained, with
the exception of some of the overall
benefit waivers, after reconsideration.
The Secretary has found that the
following waivers and alternative
requirements, as described below, are
not inconsistent with the overall
purpose of 42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq., Title
I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended
(the 1974 Act); or of 42 U.S.C. 12704 et
seq., the Cranston-Gonzalez National
Affordable Housing Act, as amended.
