SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD has
submitted to OMB a request for
approval of the Information collection
described below. This notice is
soliciting comments from members of
the public and affecting 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 Proposed: Energy and
Performance Information Center.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0274.
Form Numbers: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Department has recognized the need for
improving energy efficiency in
affordable housing and has prioritized
this in Agency Priority Goal # 4,
Measure # 13. The Department
pioneered its data collection in this area
with the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 in creating
the Recovery Act Management
Performance System (‘‘RAMPS’’). The
data collected through the RAMPS gave
the Department a more comprehensive
dataset regarding energy efficient
improvements than it had ever had
previously. The EPIC data system builds
upon the successes of the RAMPS and
adds data collection for other areas. This
form is to revise the collection to
include other information. Some of this
information is presently collected in
paper form and will be collected
electronically through the EPIC data
system. The EPIC data system will
gradually automate the collection of the
five year plan and annual statement
forms from grantees. These are required
forms presently collected in hard copy
PO 00000
Frm 00066
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
on Forms 50075.1 and 50075.2 under
collection OMB control number 2577–
0226. These forms also collect data on
the eventual, actual use of funds; this
data will be gradually collected
electronically through the EPIC data
system as well. Electronic collection
will enable the Department to aggregate
information about the way grantees are
using Federal funding. Additionally,
PHA grantees will be able to submit
Replacement Housing Factor fund
plans, the mechanism by which PHAs
are allowed to accumulate special funds
received based on units removed from
the inventory from year to year. This
information is presently collected in
hard copy at the field office level; the
EPIC data system will automate and
centralize this collection in order to
streamline the process and improve
transparency. Furthermore, the EPIC
data system will be loaded with
Physical Needs Assessment (‘‘PNA’’)
data. This data being in the system
coupled with the electronic planning
process will streamline grantee
planning. The EPIC data system will
collect information about the Energy
Performance Contract (‘‘EPC’’) process
such as energy efficiency improvement
financed under an EPC, and
construction start and completion date.
It will also collect the energy efficiency
improvements information on the types
previously captured through the
RAMPS for Public Housing Capital
Fund Recovery grants. As the
Department moves to shrink its energy
footprint in spite of rising energy costs,
clear and comprehensive data on this
process will be crucial to its success.
Finally, the Department has prioritized
in Agency Performance Goal # 2,
Measure # 5 making housing more
available for more families. In the light
of the recent housing crisis, this goal has
become simultaneously more
challenging and more important.
Tracking of the use of Federal funds
paid through the Public Housing Capital
Fund, the only Federal funding stream
dedicated to the capital needs of the
nation’s last resort housing option, is
crucial to understanding how the
Department can properly and efficiently
assist grantees in meeting this goal as
well as assessing the Department’s own
progress. The EPIC data system will
track development of public housing
with Federal funds and through other
means, including mixed-finance
development.

Title of Proposed: Enterprise Income
Verification (EIV) System User Access
Authorization Form and Rules of
Behavior and User Agreement.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0267.
Form Numbers: HUD–52676 and
HUD–52676–I.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: In
accordance with statutory requirements
at 5 U.S.C. 552a, as amended (most
commonly known as the Federal
Privacy Act of 1974), the Department is
required to account for all disclosures of
information contained in a system of
records. Specifically, the Department is
required to keep an accurate accounting
of the name and address of the person
or agency to which the disclosure is
made. The Enterprise Income
Verification (EIV) System (HUD/PIH–5)
is classified as a System of Records, as
initially published on July 20, 2005, in
the Federal Register at page 41780 (70
FR 41780) and amended and published
on August 8, 2006, in the Federal
Register at page 45066 (71 FR 45066).
As a condition of granting HUD staff
and staff of processing entities with
access to the EIV system, each
prospective user of the system must (1)
request access to the system; (2) agree to
comply with HUD’s established rules of
behavior; and (3) review and signify
their understanding of their
responsibilities of protecting data
protected under the Federal Privacy Act
(5 U.S.C. 552a, as amended). As such,
the collection of information about the
user and the type of system access
required by the prospective user is
required by HUD to: (1) Identify the
user; (2) determine if the prospective
user in fact requires access to the EIV
system and in what capacity; (3) provide
the prospective user with information
related to the Rules of Behavior for
system usage and the user’s
responsibilities to safeguard data
accessed in the system once access is
granted; and (4) obtain the signature of
the prospective user to certify the user’s
understanding of the Rules of Behavior
and responsibilities associated with his/
her use of the EIV system. HUD collects
the following information from each
prospective user: Public Housing
Agency (PHA) code, organization name,
address, prospective user’s full name,
HUD-assigned user ID, position title,
telephone number, facsimile number,
type of work which involves the use of
the EIV system, type of system action
requested, requested access roles to be
assigned to prospective user, public
housing development numbers to be
assigned to prospective PHA user, and
prospective user’s signature and date of
request. The information is collected
electronically and manually (for those
who are unable to transmit
electronically) via a PDFfillable or
Word-fillable document, which can be
emailed, faxed or mailed to HUD. If this
information is not collected, the
Department will not be in compliance
with the Federal Privacy Act and be
subject to civil penalties.
