information:
Title of Proposal: Single Family
Mortgage Insurance on Hawaiian
Homelands.
OMB Control Number, if applicable:
2502–0358.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: FHA
insures mortgages on single-family
dwellings under provisions of the
National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1709).
The Housing and Urban Rural Recovery
Act (HURRA), Public Law 98–181,
amended the National Housing Act to
add Section 247 (12 U.S.C. 1715z–12) to
permit FHA to insure mortgages for
properties located on Hawaiian
Homelands. Under this program, the
mortgagor must be a native Hawaiian.
Section 247 requires that the
Department of Hawaiian Homelands
(DHHL) of the State of Hawaii (a) will
be a co-mortgagor; (b) guarantees or
reimburses the Secretary for any
mortgage insurance claim paid in
connection with a property on Hawaiian

homelands; or (c) offers other security
acceptable to the Secretary.
In accordance with 24 CFR 203.43i,
the collection of information is
verification that a loan applicant is a
native Hawaiian and that the applicant
holds a lease on land in a Hawaiian
Homelands area. A borrower must
obtain verification of eligibility from
DHHL and submit it to the lender. A
borrower cannot obtain a loan under
these provisions without proof of status
as a native Hawaiian. United States
citizens living in Hawaii are not eligible
for this leasehold program unless they
are native Hawaiians. The eligibility
document is required to obtain benefits.
In accordance with 24 CFR
203.439(c), lenders must report monthly
to HUD and the DHHL on delinquent
borrowers and provide documentation
to HUD to support that the loss
mitigation requirements of 24 CFR
203.604 have been met. To assist the
DHHL in identifying delinquent loans,
lenders report monthly. A delinquent
mortgage that is reported timely would
allow DHHL to intervene and prevent
foreclosure. This collection of data is
cited in 2502–0060.
Agency form numbers, if applicable:
None.
Estimation of the total numbers of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: The number of
burden hours is 109. The number of
respondents is 272, the number of
responses is 544, the frequency of
response is on occasion, and the burden
hour per response is one hour and four
minutes.
Status of the proposed information
collection: This is an extension of a
currently approved collection.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as amended.

5-Year Plans to HUD as required by
section 5A of the United States Housing
Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437c–1). The
purpose of the plan is to provide a
framework for local accountability and
an easily identifiable source by which
public housing residents, participants in
the tenant-based assistance program,
and other members of the public may
locate basic PHA policies, rules and
requirements concerning the PHA’s
operations, programs and services.
DATES: Comment Due Date: April 3,
2012.

information:
Title of Proposal: Public Housing
Agency (PHA) 5-Year and Annual Plan.
OMB Control Number, if applicable:
2577–0226.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: The
PHA Plan is a comprehensive guide to
PHA policies, programs, operations, and
strategies for meeting local housing
needs and goals. The PHA Plan informs
HUD, residents, and the public of the
PHA’s mission for serving the needs of
low, very low-income, and extremely
low-income families and its strategy for
addressing those needs. This data
allows HUD to monitor the performance
of programs and the performance of
public housing agencies that administer
the programs. The PHA Plan is being
revised to address, clarify and provide
additional guidance on the submission
requirements for qualified and nonqualified PHAs, as well as to address
previous public comments. Section
2702 of Title VII—Small Public Housing
Authorities Paperwork Reduction Act,
of the Housing and Economic Recovery
Act (HERA) of 2008 amends section
5A(b) of the 1937 Act by establishing
‘‘qualified public housing agencies,’’ a
category of PHAs with less than 550
public housing units and tenant-based
vouchers combined that are provided
substantial paperwork relief, primarily
with respect to the PHA Annual Plan
requirements in section 5(A)(b) of the
United States Housing Act of 1937. The
paperwork relief exempts qualified
PHAs from the requirement to prepare
and submit an annual PHA plan to HUD
for review.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

This Act impacts approximately
seventy-four percent, or 2,994 of the
4,053 PHAs that are required to submit
an annual PHA plan. In addition to the
exemption from submitting annual
plans for qualified agencies, because of
the different annual plan submission
requirements of agencies that are
considered standard, high-performer,
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) only,
small, and troubled within 24 CFR part
903, the existing approved forms were
determined to be incompatible with the
program requirements. Therefore, some
previously approved forms have been
separated into new forms that will be
completed by different classes of PHAs.
These changes also reflect
recommendations made by the public in
a previous information collection.
Specifically, this information collection
revises previously approved OMB forms
HUD–50077–SL and HUD–50077–CR;
adds Certifications of Compliance with
PHA Plans and Related Regulations
(form HUD–50077–SM–HP and HUD–
50077–ST–HCV) formerly appearing on
form HUD 50077 as separate documents;
deletes approved OMB form HUD–
50075, and replaces that form with five
new forms (form HUD–50075–5Y,
HUD–50075–ST, HUD–50075–SM–HP,
HUD–50075–HCV, and HUD–50075–
QA).
Qualified PHAs no longer submit
information on discretionary programs
(demolition or disposition, HOPE VI,
Project-based vouchers, required or
voluntary conversion, homeownership,
or capital improvements, etc.) as part of
an Annual PHA Plan submission.
However, Qualified PHAs that intend to
implement these activities are still
subject to the full application and
approval processes that exist for
demolition or disposition, designated
housing, conversion, homeownership,
and other special application processes
that will no longer be tied to prior
authorization in an Annual PHA Plan
for a Qualified PHA. All PHAs,
including the PHAs identified as
Qualified PHAs under HERA, must
continue to submit any demolition or
disposition, public housing conversion,
homeownership, or other special
applications as applicable to HUD’s
Special Applications Center (SAC) in
Chicago for review and approval or to
HUD Headquarters for CFFP proposals.
It is expected that Qualified PHAs, 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.
