not authorize any additional substantive
modifications to the closing process
without approval of the appropriate
Regional Counsel and the Office of
Insured Housing in Headquarters. Draft
closing submission will remain
consistent with the approach of
Multifamily Housing and OGC will
accept draft closing packages in fully
electronic form.
Respondents estimation for the
Escrow Agreement for Deferred Repairs
& Debt Service—223(f)—(one closing):
Estimated Number of Respondents:
330.
Estimated Number of Responses: 330.
Frequency of Response: Once per
annum.
Average Hours per Response: .50
hours.
Total Estimated Burdens: 165.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The form
Escrow Agreement for Deferred Repairs
& Debt Service—223(f) (‘‘Debt Service
Escrow Agreement’’), sets the terms and
conditions between the Borrower and
Lender and provides for the
establishment of an escrow by the
Borrower as security for completion of
non-critical deferred repairs. Such
escrow also serves as security for HUD’s
insurance of the loan. The agreement
provides for prior approval of HUD for
certain actions to be taken by the
Borrower or Lender. The information
collection requirements contained in
Debt Service Escrow Agreement are to
oversee the parties’ compliance with all
applicable legal requirements and
therefore ensure protection of the FHA
insurance fund.
The global pandemic relating to the
COVID–19 Emergency has disrupted the
U.S. economy with significantly
increased unemployment and overall
economic instability. This instability
has carried over to real estate markets in
general, including multifamily
commercial markets. During these
challenging times, HUD remains open
for business and will continue as an
active participant in sourcing new
construction and refinance debt through
its mortgage insurance programs. At the
same time, HUD has reevaluated its
underwriting requirements, particularly
for market rate refinance transactions
that may now experience increased
vacancy, rent collection losses and
income disruption both in the near and
long term. Section 207 of the National
Housing Act provides that no mortgage
shall be acceptable for insurance unless
the Secretary finds that the project is
economically sound, and the MAP
Guide permits specific mitigants to be
employed to reduce risk for transactions
currently in process but yet to receive a
VerDate Sep<11>2014
23:25 Dec 10, 2020
Jkt 253001
Firm Commitment to insure. These
mitigants include but are not limited to
the requirement of a Debt Service
Reserve (DSR) for Section 223(f)
transactions to offset anticipated
operating losses post endorsement. To
address risk and/or changed economic
circumstances for transactions that have
been issued a commitment to insure but
have yet to endorse, HUD includes
language in the Firm Commitment
affirming that no material adverse
change (MAC) has occurred between the
issuance of the commitment and
endorsement. Accordingly, HUD has
taken the position that the impact of the
COVID–19 Emergency has resulted in a
material change in most, if not all, real
estate markets and therefore, HUD will
require mitigants to offset this
additional risk. Accordingly, this form
provides clarification and instructions
to HUD staff describing additional
mitigants that may be included in the
Firm Commitment for Section 223(f)
loans that are in processing, as well as
for those projects for which a Firm
Commitment has been issued.
Revisions to the OMB approved Form
HUD–92476.1M is the temporary
Escrow Agreement for Deferred Repairs
& Debt Service—223(f). This form does
not permanently replace the HUD–
92476.1M. The revised escrow, while
based on the HUD–92476.1M, is a
separate document for temporary use
during the COVID–19 emergency
pursuant to Mortgagee Letter 2020–11
issued April 10, 2020. The temporary
Escrow Agreement for Deferred Repairs
& Debt Service—223(f) Form will
remain in effect until such time as HUD
determines that the real estate markets
that have been negatively affected by the
COVID–19 Emergency have stabilized
and additional mitigants for Section
223(f) transactions are no longer
required.
This new collection can be used to
address future changes to multifamily
programs or processes that may arise
from impacts due to the COVID19
pandemic.

A. Overview of Information Collection
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–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: Under
the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D)
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) has submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request to review and approve
the information collection listed below.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
23:25 Dec 10, 2020
Jkt 253001
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.
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register on October 9, 2018 (FR 83,
50676) and allowed 60-days for public
comment. It should be noted that all
forms except for the Moving to Work
(MTW) Supplement were published in
the Federal Register on October 30,
2019 (FR 84, 58167) for a 30-day public
comment period. The four public
comments received for the documents
included in that notice were addressed
at that time. The MTW Supplement was
not included in this publication due to
revisions that were needed as part of
ongoing work on the MTW Operations
Notice, which has now been published.
The purpose of this 30-day notice is to
respond to public comments received
during the 60-day public comment
period on the MTW Supplement and to
allow for the 30-day public comment
period for the MTW Supplement.
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: 1,152 and 5 Year
Plan: 3,780).
Frequency of Response: Every five
years for all PHAs, annually for all
PHAs except HERA Qualified PHAs.
Average Hours per Response: 6.33 hrs.
Total Estimated Burdens: 14,613.74.
