Information on special applications can be found at the SAC Web site: https:// www.hud.gov/offices/pih/centers/sac/ about/overview.cfm. The following Web site at: https://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/ programs/ph/capfund/index.cfm contains information on the Capital Fund Financing Program (CFFP), and Operating Fund Financing Program (OFFP). https://www.hud.gov/offices/ pih/programs/ph/am/. Qualified PHAs should, as a matter of good business practice, continue to keep their residents, the general public, and the local HUD office apprised of any plans to initiate these types of programs and activities. Revisions to form HUD– 50077–CR deletes, ‘‘if there is no Board of Commissioner’’ from paragraph 1, line 2. Qualified-only PHAs will complete proposed form HUD–50077–CR. To more accurately reflect the application requirements of PHAs for the Capital Fund Program, form HUD–50077 deletes item 3, ‘‘The PHA certifies that there has been no change, significant or otherwise, to the Capital Fund Program (and Capital Fund Program/ Replacement Housing Factor) Annual Statement(s), since submission of its last approved Annual Plan. The Capital Fund Program Annual Statement/ Annual Statement/Performance and Evaluation Report must be submitted annually even if there is no change.’’ and redesignates items (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), (12), (13), (14), (15), (16), (17), (18), (19), (20), (21), and (22), as (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), (12), (13), (14), (15), (16), (17), (18), (19), (20), and (21), respectively. NonQualified only PHAs are required to complete form HUD–50077. The PHA plan is a web-based submission process (allowing PHAs to retrieve the applicable templates) that allows PHAs to provide their plans to HUD via the Internet. The system allows HUD to track plans with limited reporting and any changes from the previous submission. Agency Form Numbers: HUD–50075; HUD–50075.1, HUD–50075.2, HUD– 50077, HUD–50077–CR, HUD–50077– SL, HUD–50070. Members of the Affected Public: Local, Regional and State Body Corporate Politic Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) Governments. Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the information collection including number of VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:16 May 25, 2010 Jkt 220001 respondents, frequency of response, and hours of response: The estimated number of burden hours needed to prepare the information collection is 111,005; estimated number of respondents is 4,114; the frequency of response for qualified PHAs is once every 5 years and when any interim changes in discretionary programs have been made and/or every year on a rolling 5-year basis. For example, PHAs Fiscal Year beginning (FYB) 2006, covers the PHA’s fiscal years 2007– 2011. The next Five-Year Plan would be due for the PHA’s FYB 2011 and would cover fiscal years 2012–2016; the estimated time to prepare the response varies depending on the interim changes in discretionary programs; and, the average annual burden hours per PHA is 5.4 hours. Consequently, this information collection reduces the total administrative burden hours accordingly and associated costs to approximately 68% (2,802 PHAs) of the total PHA inventory (4,114 PHAs). Status of the Proposed Information Collection: This is a revision of currently approved collection. The revision is necessary to implement paperwork relief to qualified PHAs, as provided in Section 2702 of Title VII— Small Public Housing Authorities Paperwork Reduction Act, of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended. Dated: May 20, 2010.
