on those who are to respond; including

other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of

This notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposed: Section 901 Notice
of Intent and Fungibility Plan for
Combining Public Housing Capital or
Operating Funds, or Housing Choice
Voucher Funds to Assist Displaced
Families and Address Damages.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0245.
Form Numbers: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use:
The Notice of Intent is necessary for
HUD to be informed about which
eligible PHAs elect to invoke the
funding flexibility authorized by section
901 of the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations (Pub. L. 109–148). The
Fungibility Plan and Reports are
necessary for HUD to know how eligible
PHAs plan to reallocate and spend these
funds, the rate such funds are obligated
and expended, and the results in using
this funding flexibility. Fungibility
Plans proposing to use Section 901
flexibility and funding to develop new
housing units under Capital Fund
mixed-finance uses or for development
of HCV project-based units were
required to include new development
proposals following the format required
by 24 CFR 941.606 or mixed-finance
rules as appropriate. Fungibility Plans
proposing to use Section 901 flexibility
to pay for public housing renovations
were required to submit CFP Annual
Statements identifying work items and
costs. These collections are approved
under separate OMB numbers. Under
Section 901, funds from one of the
programs identified above could be used
for another program’s purposes, but
were required to follow the rules of the
program in which the funds would be
used. HUD has not received any new
Section 901 Fungibility Plans since
2009, which was the last year Congress
extended this funding flexibility to
address the impacts of Hurricanes Rita
and Katrina. Some PHAs have used the
fungibility plan format to submit
revisions to their originally approved
plans.
Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response:
Notification of Intent and Fungibility
Plan. This is a one-time submission
estimated to take 40 hours for each of
up to twelve eligible PHAs that
submitted plans from 2006 through

2009. PHAs may also use this format to
request HUD approval for subsequent
plan revisions. The original burden
estimate for this information collection
was 6,624 hours assuming all ninety-six
PHAs in the areas impacted by
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita would opt
to use it. A later burden estimate of
1,248 hours was submitted, when in
2006, only eight out of ninety-six
eligible PHAs submitted plans to use
Section 901 flexibility. In 2007, seven
out of the eight 2006 PHAs and one new
PHA submitted plans to use Section 901
flexibility. In 2008, seven out of the nine
2006 and 2007 PHAs and three new
PHAs submitted plans to use Section
901 flexibility. Ten or fewer
respondents have submitted plans to
use Section 901 flexibility each year.
One PHA submitted a plan in 2009, the
last year in which Section 901 funding
flexibility was available. As a result, the
estimate of burden hours for new
fungibility plans has been removed. A
total of ten different PHAs have been
approved to use and must report the
results of Section 901 flexibility. A new
estimate of burden for Section 901
Notifications of Intent and Fungibility
Plans or revisions, and subsequent
periodic reporting is 1,680 hours based
on requirements for 10 PHAs to prepare
and submit these documents.
Status: Extension without change of a
currently approved collection.
Authority: Section 3507 of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 35, as
amended.
Dated: May 2, 2013.
