OMB Approval Number: 2577–XXXX. Type of Request: New Collection. Form Number: Form HUD–XXXXX. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This collection of information implements a statutory requirement made by Section 103 of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA). HOTMA was signed into law on July 29, 2016 (Pub. L. 114–201, 130 Stat. 782). Section 103 of HOTMA amends section 16(a) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437n(a)) (1937 Act). Section 103 of HOTMA states that after a public housing family has been over-income for two consecutive years, a public housing agency (PHA) must either: (1) charge the over-income family a monthly rent that is the higher of fair market rent under section 8(c) for the dwelling unit or the monthly amount of public housing subsidy provided for the dwelling unit; or (2) terminate the tenancy of the over-income family no later than 6 months after the end of the two-year period. Additionally, pursuant to section 103 of HOTMA, PHAs must submit an annual report on two specific data points: (1) The number of overincome families residing in public housing and (2) the number of families on the public housing waiting lists. The number of over-income families currently residing in public housing is already being collected via the form HUD–50058. Therefore, PHAs will be allowed to use income data already provided by form HUD–50058, under OMB approval number 2577–0083, which is submitted electronically in the PIH Information Center (PIC) system to satisfy the first data requirement to report the annual number of overincome families residing in public housing. The requirement for PHAs to report on the number of over-income families will be satisfied with currentlyexisting 50058 reporting requirements and HUD will compile this with the data provided on the number of families on the public housing waiting list for the public report. The requirement for PHAs to report on the number of families on the public housing waiting list is new and so has resulted in the need to for this collection of information request. Each PHA will now be required to submit the total number of families on the public housing waiting lists annually utilizing the newly created electronic Public Number of respondents Information collection Frequency of response Responses per annum Housing Waiting List Data Collection Tool. The data on the total number of unduplicated families on the public housing waiting list will be provided by the PHA in the aggregate and no personally identifiable information will be collected. Section 103 of HOTMA permits HUD to determine the format of these annual reports and HUD has elected to utilize PIC data when possible as this will result in no additional burden to the PHA. Per the requirements of Section 103 of HOTMA, HUD will compile the data provided in PIC and the new data that will be collected via the electronic Public Housing Waiting List Data Collection Tool to publish this information annually in a publicly available report. Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government. Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,774 (This number excludes HCV-only PHA’s). Estimated Number of Responses: 2,774 (This number excludes HCV-only PHA’s). Frequency of Response: Annually. Average Hours per Response: 0.5 of an hour (30 min). Total Estimated Burdens: 1,387 Hours.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Housing Opportunity Through

[[Page 53485]]

Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA): Public Housing Waiting List Data 
Collection Tool.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-XXXX.
    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Form Number: Form HUD-XXXXX.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
collection of information implements a statutory requirement made by 
Section 103 of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 
2016 (HOTMA). HOTMA was signed into law on July 29, 2016 (Pub. L. 114-
201, 130 Stat. 782). Section 103 of HOTMA amends section 16(a) of the 
United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437n(a)) (1937 Act).
    Section 103 of HOTMA states that after a public housing family has 
been over-income for two consecutive years, a public housing agency 
(PHA) must either: (1) charge the over-income family a monthly rent 
that is the higher of fair market rent under section 8(c) for the 
dwelling unit or the monthly amount of public housing subsidy provided 
for the dwelling unit; or (2) terminate the tenancy of the over-income 
family no later than 6 months after the end of the two-year period. 
Additionally, pursuant to section 103 of HOTMA, PHAs must submit an 
annual report on two specific data points: (1) The number of over-
income families residing in public housing and (2) the number of 
families on the public housing waiting lists.
    The number of over-income families currently residing in public 
housing is already being collected via the form HUD-50058. Therefore, 
PHAs will be allowed to use income data already provided by form HUD-
50058, under OMB approval number 2577-0083, which is submitted 
electronically in the PIH Information Center (PIC) system to satisfy 
the first data requirement to report the annual number of over-income 
families residing in public housing. The requirement for PHAs to report 
on the number of over-income families will be satisfied with currently-
existing 50058 reporting requirements and HUD will compile this with 
the data provided on the number of families on the public housing 
waiting list for the public report.
    The requirement for PHAs to report on the number of families on the 
public housing waiting list is new and so has resulted in the need to 
for this collection of information request. Each PHA will now be 
required to submit the total number of families on the public housing 
waiting lists annually utilizing the newly created electronic Public 
Housing Waiting List Data Collection Tool. The data on the total number 
of unduplicated families on the public housing waiting list will be 
provided by the PHA in the aggregate and no personally identifiable 
information will be collected. Section 103 of HOTMA permits HUD to 
determine the format of these annual reports and HUD has elected to 
utilize PIC data when possible as this will result in no additional 
burden to the PHA. Per the requirements of Section 103 of HOTMA, HUD 
will compile the data provided in PIC and the new data that will be 
collected via the electronic Public Housing Waiting List Data 
Collection Tool to publish this information annually in a publicly 
available report.
    Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,774 (This number excludes HCV-
only PHA's).
    Estimated Number of Responses: 2,774 (This number excludes HCV-only 
PHA's).
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Average Hours per Response: 0.5 of an hour (30 min).
    Total Estimated Burdens: 1,387 Hours.
