A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Agency (PHA) Lease 
and Grievance Requirements.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0006.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: None.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Public Housing lease and grievance procedures are a recordkeeping 
requirement on the part of Public Housing agencies (PHAs) as they are 
required to enter into and maintain lease agreements for each 
individual or family that occupies a Public Housing unit. Also, both 
PHAs and tenants are required to follow the protocols set forth in the 
grievance procedures for both an informal and formal grievance hearing. 
This information collection is a revision of the previous submission. 
The reduction in burden hours is attributable to a fewer number of 
tenants in public housing covered by these lease and grievance 
procedures.
    Respondents (i.e., affected public): Public Housing Authorities 
(PHAs).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 945,539.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 1,359,284.
    Frequency of Response: 1.
    Average Hours per Response: .25.
    Total Estimated Burden: 330,939 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 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.

     Authority: Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
