A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Elements for the Annual MTW Plan and
Annual MTW Report.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0216.
Type of Request: Revision to currently
approved collection.
Form Number: 50900.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: All
Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) are
required to submit a five (5) Year Plan
and Annual Plans as stated in Section
5A of the 1937 Act, as amended;
however, for PHAs with specific types
of Moving to Work (MTW)
demonstration agreements (39 at the
time of submission of this request) the
Annual MTW Plan and Annual MTW
Reports are submitted in lieu of the
standard annual and 5 year PHA plans.
The MTW Demonstration was
authorized under Section 204 of the
Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and
Appropriations Act of 1996 (Pub. L.
104–134, 110 Stat 1321), dated April 26,
1996. The original MTW Demonstration
statute permitted up to 30 PHAs to
participate in the demonstration
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
program. Nineteen PHAs were selected
for participation in the MTW
demonstration in response to a HUD
Notice published in the Federal
Register on December 18, 1996 and five
of the 30 slots were filled through the
Jobs-Plus Community Response
Initiative.
Additional MTW ‘slots’ have been
added by Congress over time through
appropriations statutes. Two PHAs were
specifically named and authorized to
join the demonstration in 1999 under
the VA, HUD, and Independent
Agencies Appropriations Act of 1999
(Pub. L. 105–276, 112 Stat. 2461), dated
October 21, 1998. A Public and Indian
Housing Notice (PIH Notice 2000–52)
issued December 13, 2000, allowed up
to an additional 6 PHAs to participate
in the MTW demonstration. The
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008
(Pub. L. 110–161, 121 Stat. 1844) added
four named PHAs to the Moving to
Work demonstration program.
Subsequent appropriations acts for
2009, 2010, and 2011 authorized a total
of 12 additional MTW slots. As part of
HUD’s 2009 budget appropriation
(Section 236, title II, division I of the
Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009,
enacted March 11, 2009), Congress
directed HUD to add three agencies to
the MTW program. As part of HUD’s
2010 budget appropriation (Section 232,
title II, division A of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2010, enacted
December 16, 2009), Congress
authorized HUD to add three agencies to
the MTW demonstration. In 2011,
Congress again authorized HUD to add
three MTW PHAs pursuant to the 2010
Congressional requirements.
A Standard MTW Agreement
(Standard Agreement) was developed in
2007, and was transmitted to the
existing MTW agencies in January,
2008. As additional MTW PHAs were
selected they too were provided with
the Standard Agreement. All 39 existing
MTW agencies operate under this
agreement, which authorizes
participation in the demonstration
through each agency’s 2018 fiscal year.
HUD is currently working on an
extension of the Standard Agreement to
2028, as required by the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2016.
Under the Standard Agreement, all
MTW sites are authorized to combine
their operating, modernization and
housing choice voucher funding into a
single ‘‘block’’ grant. Because they
cannot conform with the requirement
for the regular PHA annual and 5 year
plans, and because HUD requires
different information from these PHAs
for program oversight purposes, these
sites are required to submit an annual
PO 00000
Frm 00084
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
MTW Plan and an annual MTW Report
in accordance with their MTW
Agreement, in lieu of the regular PHA
annual and 5 year plans.
Through the MTW Annual Plan and
Report, each MTW site will inform
HUD, its residents and the public of the
PHA’s mission for serving the needs of
low-income and very low-income
families, and the PHA’s strategy for
addressing those needs. The MTW
Annual Plan, like the Annual PHA Plan,
provides an easily identifiable source by
which residents, participants in tenantbased programs, and other members of
the public may locate policies, rules,
and requirements concerning the PHA’s
operations, programs, and services.
Revisions are being made to this 50900
form to improve its usability and to
address minor issues identified by HUD
and the MTW PHAs over time.
Examples of these minor refinements
include: Additional entries in the
‘‘General Information’’ section to
improve clarity, elimination of the
requirement to submit tables in multiple
formats, layout improvements to
sections/tables to improve readability,
and text corrections to improve term
consistency.
Respondents: The respondents to this
PRA are the 39 Public Housing
Authorities (PHAs) that currently have
the MTW designation.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
39.
Estimated Number of Responses: 468.
There are 7 sections associated with
this Form requiring response. All 7
sections are completed with the first
annual submission (Plan), and 5 of the
7 are completed with the second annual
submission (Report). This results in a
total of 12 total responses per PHA, or
468 total responses per year across all
39 affected PHAs.
Frequency of Response: MTW PHAs
complete requirements associated with
this Form twice per year (Plan and
Report). In the Plan, the PHA completes
all 7 sections of the Form. In the Report,
the PHA completes only 5 of the 7
sections of the Form.
Average Hours per Response: The
estimated average burden is 40.5 hours
per response (or 81 total hours per year).
Total Estimated Burdens: 4,680 hours.

This notice is soliciting comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Elements for the Annual MTW Plan
and Annual MTW Report.
OMB Approval Number: 2577-0216.
Type of Request: Revision to currently approved collection.
Form Number: 50900.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: All
Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) are required to submit a five (5)
Year Plan and Annual Plans as stated in Section 5A of the 1937 Act, as
amended; however, for PHAs with specific types of Moving to Work (MTW)
demonstration agreements (39 at the time of submission of this request)
the Annual MTW Plan and Annual MTW Reports are submitted in lieu of the
standard annual and 5 year PHA plans.
The MTW Demonstration was authorized under Section 204 of the
Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996 (Pub.
L. 104-134, 110 Stat 1321), dated April 26, 1996. The original MTW
Demonstration statute permitted up to 30 PHAs to participate in the
demonstration program. Nineteen PHAs were selected for participation in
the MTW demonstration in response to a HUD Notice published in the
Federal Register on December 18, 1996 and five of the 30 slots were
filled through the Jobs-Plus Community Response Initiative.
Additional MTW `slots' have been added by Congress over time
through appropriations statutes. Two PHAs were specifically named and
authorized to join the demonstration in 1999 under the VA, HUD, and
Independent Agencies Appropriations Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 105-276, 112
Stat. 2461), dated October 21, 1998. A Public and Indian Housing Notice
(PIH Notice 2000-52) issued December 13, 2000, allowed up to an
additional 6 PHAs to participate in the MTW demonstration. The
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 (Pub. L. 110-161, 121 Stat. 1844)
added four named PHAs to the Moving to Work demonstration program.
Subsequent appropriations acts for 2009, 2010, and 2011 authorized
a total of 12 additional MTW slots. As part of HUD's 2009 budget
appropriation (Section 236, title II, division I of the Omnibus
Appropriations Act, 2009, enacted March 11, 2009), Congress directed
HUD to add three agencies to the MTW program. As part of HUD's 2010
budget appropriation (Section 232, title II, division A of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010, enacted December 16, 2009),
Congress authorized HUD to add three agencies to the MTW demonstration.
In 2011, Congress again authorized HUD to add three MTW PHAs pursuant
to the 2010 Congressional requirements.
A Standard MTW Agreement (Standard Agreement) was developed in
2007, and was transmitted to the existing MTW agencies in January,
2008. As additional MTW PHAs were selected they too were provided with
the Standard Agreement. All 39 existing MTW agencies operate under this
agreement, which authorizes participation in the demonstration through
each agency's 2018 fiscal year. HUD is currently working on an
extension of the Standard Agreement to 2028, as required by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016.
Under the Standard Agreement, all MTW sites are authorized to
combine their operating, modernization and housing choice voucher
funding into a single ``block'' grant. Because they cannot conform with
the requirement for the regular PHA annual and 5 year plans, and
because HUD requires different information from these PHAs for program
oversight purposes, these sites are required to submit an annual MTW
Plan and an annual MTW Report in accordance with their MTW Agreement,
in lieu of the regular PHA annual and 5 year plans.
Through the MTW Annual Plan and Report, each MTW site will inform
HUD, its residents and the public of the PHA's mission for serving the
needs of low-income and very low-income families, and the PHA's
strategy for addressing those needs. The MTW Annual Plan, like the
Annual PHA Plan, provides an easily identifiable source by which
residents, participants in tenant-based programs, and other members of
the public may locate policies, rules, and requirements concerning the
PHA's operations, programs, and services. Revisions are being made to
this 50900 form to improve its usability and to address minor issues
identified by HUD and the MTW PHAs over time. Examples of these minor
refinements include: Additional entries in the ``General Information''
section to improve clarity, elimination of the requirement to submit
tables in multiple formats, layout improvements to sections/tables to
improve readability, and text corrections to improve term consistency.
Respondents: The respondents to this PRA are the 39 Public Housing
Authorities (PHAs) that currently have the MTW designation.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 39.
Estimated Number of Responses: 468.
There are 7 sections associated with this Form requiring response.
All 7 sections are completed with the first annual submission (Plan),
and 5 of the 7 are completed with the second annual submission
(Report). This results in a total of 12 total responses per PHA, or 468
total responses per year across all 39 affected PHAs.
Frequency of Response: MTW PHAs complete requirements associated
with this Form twice per year (Plan and Report). In the Plan, the PHA
completes all 7 sections of the Form. In the Report, the PHA completes
only 5 of the 7 sections of the Form.
Average Hours per Response: The estimated average burden is 40.5
hours per response (or 81 total hours per year).
Total Estimated Burdens: 4,680 hours.
B. Solicitation of Public Comment
This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and
affected parties concerning the collection of information described in
Section A on the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of
[[Page 10649]]
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) Ways to 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.
HUD encourages interested parties to submit comment in response to
these questions.
