Plan and MTW Supplement to the PHA
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–50075–MTW, HUD–50077–CR,
HUD–50077–SL, HUD–50077–CRT–SM,
and HUD–50077–ST–HCV–HP.
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, longrange goals and objectives for achieving
its mission over a five-year period. The
Annual PHA Plan is a comprehensive
guide to PHA policies, programs,
operations, and strategies for meeting
local housing needs and goals. This
revision integrates the MTW
Supplement to the Annual PHA Plan
process for PHAs that join MTW under
the 2016 Appropriations Act (i.e., MTW
Expansion).
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 July of
2016 was to revise the collection in
response to public comments urging
HUD to return to earlier multiple
versions of the PHA Plan templates by
specific PHA type (e.g. standard, small,
high performer, Section 8 only) instead
of a ‘‘One-Size Fits All’’ form. HUD also
added a section to accommodate the
new requirements of the Affirmatively
Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Rule,
other public comments from 2013, and
a minor change made in late 2014. OMB
approved the changes as a full revision,
but the 2016 versions of the forms were
not made public due to ongoing changes
to AFFH policies.
With this current proposed
information collection, HUD intends to
add a new template titled HUD–50075–
MTW, and further modify the 5-Year
and Annual PHA Plan Templates as
well as the accompanying certifications
in the following manner:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:13 Oct 05, 2018
Jkt 247001
(1) Revise the instructions provided
on the Assessment of Fair Housing
(AFH) ensuring that program
participants continue to conduct the
Analysis of Impediments (AI) to fair
housing until they are required to
submit an AFH.
(2) Create a new section on all
certifications to give program
participants the option to add an
explanation when they cannot certify to
being fully compliant with the stated
regulations.
(3) Specify on related certifications
that the signed acknowledgement of the
‘authorizing official’ must be of the PHA
Executive Director (ED) and Board
Chairperson.
(4) Add the Moving to Work (MTW)
Supplement template to the collections
which will serve as the reporting
mechanism to the Department for the
new 100 MTW agencies that will be
designated pursuant to the MTW
Expansion authorized by the
Appropriations Act of 2016 (i.e., MTW
Expansion).
Finally, the burden hours of the
collection will increase by 600 hours
due to an estimated 6.0 hours needed
per MTW Supplement applicable to 100
new MTW agencies. However, it should
be noted that, due to the de-coupling of
Capital Fund Program activities from
PHA Plan submissions in 2016, (HUD–
50075.1 and HUD–50075.2 Capital Fund
Annual Statement/Performance and
Evaluation Report and 5-Year Action
Plan forms), the associated burden
hours (10,070) were removed from the
approval for the PHA Plan under OMB
no. 2577–0226. Therefore, the added
burden of the MTW Supplement is
relatively minor.
Revisions are made to this collection
to reflect adjustments in calculations
based on the total number of current,
active public housing agencies (PHAs)
to date. The number of active public
housing agencies has changed from
3,819 to 3,780 since the last approved
information collection. The number of
PHAs can fluctuate due to many factors,
including but not limited to
performance scoring, the merging of two
or more PHAs or the termination of the
public housing and/or voucher
programs due to the Rental Assistance
Demonstration (RAD).
Respondents (i.e., affected public):
Local, Regional and State Body
Corporate Politic Public Housing
Agencies (PHAs) Governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,780.
Estimated Number of Responses:
4,832 (Annual Plan: 1,052 and 5 Year

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:

Jkt 247001
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

e.g., permitting electronic submission of

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Indian
Housing Block Grant (IHBG)
Competitive Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0218.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Numbers: HUD–53246, HUD–
53247, HUD–52737, HUD–4117, HUD–
4119, HUD–52736–A, SF–424, HUD–
2880, HUD–2993.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
purpose of this notice is to solicit public
comment on the Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA), and two new
forms (IHBG Cost Summary (HUD–
53246), and IHBG Implementation
Schedule (HUD–53247)) associated with
the Indian Housing Block Grant
Competitive program (IHBG
Competitive).
In Fiscal Year 2018, Congress enacted
H.R. 1625—Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2018 (Pub. L. 115–
141) (Effective: 3/23/18) that
appropriated $99,000,000 for IHBG
Competitive funding awards under the
Native American Housing Assistance
and Self Determination Act
(NAHASDA) of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et
seq.). The Department will give priority
to projects that will spur construction
and rehabilitation from NAHASDAeligible recipients while considering
need and administrative capacity.
Additionally, applicants may apply for
other eligible activities under Section
202 of NAHASDA. Applicants for
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
competitive IHBG funds are required to
submit a grant application in response
to a NOFA that includes a narrative
response to the NOFA requirements,
Application for Federal Assistance (SF–
424), Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/
Update Report (HUD–2880),
Acknowledgement of Application
Receipt (HUD–2993), IHBG Cost
Summary (HUD–53246), and IHBG
Implementation Schedule (HUD–
53247). At the end of the 12-month
program year, awardees are required to
submit Annual Performance Reports
(HUD–52737) that describe
accomplishments, outcomes, and
outputs. Note: The Annual Performance
Report (HUD–52737) is not part of this
information collection and displays a
valid OMB Control Number through
July 31, 2018.
The Department believes that the
funding for IHBG Competitive meets the
emergency processing criteria of 5 CFR
1320.13. The appropriations language
meets the ‘‘unanticipated event’’ criteria
of 5 CFR 1320.13 because this
additional funding creates an entirely
new competitive grant program to
supplement the traditional formulabased block grant program of
NAHASDA. Furthermore, the
Department believes that the
information collection associated with
this competitive grant warrants
emergency processing because following
the regular PRA schedule would impede
both the intent of this additional
appropriation and HUD’s goal to award
funding to Native American
communities in an expedited manner.
The ‘‘Consolidated Appropriations Act
of 2018’’ also directs the Department to
give priority to projects that will ‘‘spur
construction and rehabilitation for
grantees’’ and the additional amount
would ‘‘remain available until
September 30, 2022.’’ For example,
construction projects in Indian County
can take three to five years from start to
completion due to remote locations and
complex land issues. Following an
expedited emergency processing time
frame would maximize the limited
period of availability given by Congress
for recipients to plan and implement
projects as soon as possible.
Respondents: Native American Tribes,
Alaska Native Villages and
Corporations, and Tribally Designated
Housing Entities.

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG)
Competitive Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2577-0218.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Form Numbers: HUD-53246, HUD-53247, HUD-52737, HUD-4117, HUD-4119,
HUD-52736-A, SF-424, HUD-2880, HUD-2993.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
purpose of this notice is to solicit public comment on the Notice of
Funding Availability (NOFA), and two new forms (IHBG Cost Summary (HUD-
53246), and IHBG Implementation Schedule (HUD-53247)) associated with
the Indian Housing Block Grant Competitive program (IHBG Competitive).
In Fiscal Year 2018, Congress enacted H.R. 1625--Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2018 (Pub. L. 115-141) (Effective: 3/23/18) that
appropriated $99,000,000 for IHBG Competitive funding awards under the
Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act (NAHASDA)
of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.). The Department will give priority to
projects that will spur construction and rehabilitation from NAHASDA-
eligible recipients while considering need and administrative capacity.
Additionally, applicants may apply for other eligible activities under
Section 202 of NAHASDA. Applicants for competitive IHBG funds are
required to submit a grant application in response to a NOFA that
includes a narrative response to the NOFA requirements, Application for
Federal Assistance (SF-424), Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update
Report (HUD-2880), Acknowledgement of Application Receipt (HUD-2993),
IHBG Cost Summary (HUD-53246), and IHBG Implementation Schedule (HUD-
53247). At the end of the 12-month program year, awardees are required
to submit Annual Performance Reports (HUD-52737) that describe
accomplishments, outcomes, and outputs. Note: The Annual Performance
Report (HUD-52737) is not part of this information collection and
displays a valid OMB Control Number through July 31, 2018.
The Department believes that the funding for IHBG Competitive meets
the emergency processing criteria of 5 CFR 1320.13. The appropriations
language meets the ``unanticipated event'' criteria of 5 CFR 1320.13
because this additional funding creates an entirely new competitive

The ``Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018'' also directs the
Department to give priority to projects that will ``spur construction
and rehabilitation for grantees'' and the additional amount would
``remain available until September 30, 2022.'' For example,
construction projects in Indian County can take three to five years
from start to completion due to remote locations and complex land
issues. Following an expedited emergency processing time frame would
maximize the limited period of availability given by Congress for
recipients to plan and implement projects as soon as possible.
