Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan was created by section 5A of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437c-1). There are two different PHA Plans: the Five-Year Plan and the Annual Plan. The Five-Year Plan describes the agency’s mission and longrange goals and objectives for achieving its mission over a five-year period, and their approach to managing programs and providing services for the upcoming year. The Annual PHA Plan is a comprehensive guide to PHA policies, programs, operations, and strategies for meeting local housing needs and goals. The PHA Plans informs HUD, residents, and the public of the PHA’s mission for serving the needs of low, very low-income, and extremely lowincome families and its strategy for addressing those needs. This information helps provide accountability to the local community for how PHAs spend their funding and implement their policies. Also, PHA plans allow HUD to monitor the performance of programs and the performance of public housing agencies that administer them. HUD’s most recent action in October 2015 was to post a version of this collection which OMB approved as a full revision incorporating public comments in 2013, and with minor changes in late 2014. Public commenters urged HUD to return to earlier multiple versions of PHA Plan templates by specific PHA type instead of a ‘‘One-Size Fits All’’ form. With this current proposed information collection, HUD intends to further modify the HUD–50075–5Y, HUD– 50075–ST, HUD–50075–SM, HUD– 50075–HCV, HUD–50075–HP templates and HUD–50077 Civil Rights, PHA Plan, Related Regulations, and Consistency with State/local Consolidated Plan certifications in the following manner as needed without a major overhaul as was done for the 2013 approval: (1) Additional instructions will be provided to PHA’s planning to convert all ACC units to Project-Based Assistance under RAD resulting in the removal of all ACC units from the PHAs public housing inventory. These PHA’s will be required to provide a plan for disposition of remaining public housing property, (2) E:\FR\FM\18NON1.SGM 18NON1 72098 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 222 / Wednesday, November 18, 2015 / Notices asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Incorporating mandatory RAD information into the existing PHA Plan templates to improve, streamline, and provide clarity to the RAD significant amendment process, (3) Modify all forms as needed to reference or otherwise address the new requirements of the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Rule published July 16, 2015, (4) Re-introduce as a submission requirement ‘‘Challenged Elements,’’ (5) Remove obsolete references to OMB circulars that were replaced by OMB’s Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements in 2 CFR 200, (6) Expand the Civil Rights certification to include equal access to all housing regardless of LGBT and marital status and prohibit inquiries made of applications or occupants concerning sexual orientation or gender identification and, (7) Replacing the 50077 form with customized versions to align with streamlined requirements of 24 CFR 903.

    Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Agency (PHA) 5-Year 
and Annual Plan.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0226.
    Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Form Number(s): HUD-50075-5Y, HUD-50075-ST, HUD-50075-SM, HUD-
50075-HCV, HUD-50075-HP, HUD-50077-CR, HUD-50077-SL, HUD-50077-CRT-SM, 
HUD-50077-ST-HCV-HP, HUD-50070, HUD-50071.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan was created by section 5A of the 
United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437c-1). There are two 
different PHA Plans: the Five-Year Plan and the Annual Plan. The Five-
Year Plan describes the agency's mission and long-range goals and 
objectives for achieving its mission over a five-year period, and their 
approach to managing programs and providing services for the upcoming 
year. The Annual PHA Plan is a comprehensive guide to PHA policies, 
programs, operations, and strategies for meeting local housing needs 
and goals.
    The PHA Plans 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 
information helps provide accountability to the local community for how 
PHAs spend their funding and implement their policies. Also, PHA plans 
allow HUD to monitor the performance of programs and the performance of 
public housing agencies that administer them.
    HUD's most recent action in October 2015 was to post a version of 
this collection which OMB approved as a full revision incorporating 
public comments in 2013, and with minor changes in late 2014. Public 
commenters urged HUD to return to earlier multiple versions of PHA Plan 
templates by specific PHA type instead of a ``One-Size Fits All'' form. 
With this current proposed information collection, HUD intends to 
further modify the HUD-50075-5Y, HUD-50075-ST, HUD-50075-SM, HUD-50075-
HCV, HUD-50075-HP templates and HUD-50077 Civil Rights, PHA Plan, 
Related Regulations, and Consistency with State/local Consolidated Plan 
certifications in the following manner as needed without a major 
overhaul as was done for the 2013 approval: (1) Additional instructions 
will be provided to PHA's planning to convert all ACC units to Project-
Based Assistance under RAD resulting in the removal of all ACC units 
from the PHAs public housing inventory. These PHA's will be required to 
provide a plan for disposition of remaining public housing property, 
(2)

Incorporating mandatory RAD information into the existing PHA Plan 
templates to improve, streamline, and provide clarity to the RAD

Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Rule published July 16, 
2015, (4) Re-introduce as a submission requirement ``Challenged

Annual Statement/Performance and Evaluation Report and 5-Year Action 
Plan forms and associated burden hours (10,070) will be removed from
