(iv) The first two PNAs pursuant to this part and first two energy audits completed after [effective date of final rule to be inserted at final rule stage] shall be completed in accordance with a timeframe delineated by HUD in order to better enable PHAs, after the completion of the first PNA pursuant to this part, to better utilize the PNA in support of their 5-year planning cycle.

Using information from the energy audit, the PHA shall identify specific work items and their associated costs in the PNA that match energy conservation measures (ECMs) identified in the energy audit. For each ECM reviewed as part of an energy audit, unless otherwise directed by HUD, the PNA shall incorporate the pay back data from the energy audit in a form and manner prescribed by HUD. (vii) As modernization and repairs of public housing developments are completed, the PHA shall make revisions to its PNA to indicate that repairs to individual buildings have been addressed. These PNA revisions shall be completed on an annual basis. (viii) The PHA shall submit its PNAs and annual updates to HUD in a time, manner, and format determined by HUD. HUD may evaluate the quality and accuracy of PNAs. HUD may require a PHA to revise its PNA to correct errors or inaccuracies, or elements of the PNA that do not comply with HUD requirements, all as determined by HUD. In addition, HUD may directly revise a PHA’s PNA to make such corrections. To the extent such revisions are made, the PHA shall update the corrected PNA in its annual update submission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    This document contains proposed amendments to the Highway Use Tax 
Regulations (26 CFR part 41) under sections 6001, 6071 and 6151 of the

of these proposed regulations. The preamble to the temporary 
regulations explains the temporary regulations.

Proposed Effective Date

Special Analyses

section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) 
does not apply to this regulation, and because this regulation does not 
impose a collection of information on small entities, the provisions of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) do not apply. 
Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Code, this regulation has been 
submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business 
Administration for comment on its impact on small business.

consideration will be given to any written comments (a signed original

published in the Federal Register.
