This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Public
Housing Reform Act: Changes to
Admission and Occupancy
Requirements.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0230.
Type of Request: Revision of currently
approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use:
This collection of information
implements changes to the admission
and occupancy requirements for the
public housing program made by the
Quality Housing and Work
Responsibility (QHWRA) Act of 1998
(Title V of the FY 1999 HUD
appropriations Act, Public Law 105–
276, 112 Stat. 2518, approved October
21, 1998), and the Housing Opportunity
Through Modernization Act of 2016
(HOTMA), section 103, which amends
the United States Housing Act of 1937.
Both QHWRA and HOTMA made
comprehensive changes to HUD’s public
housing program. These changes
include defining an ‘over-income
family’ as one having an annual income
120 percent above the median income
for the area for two consecutive years
and includes new mandatory annual
reporting requirements on the number
of over-income families residing in
public housing and the total number of
families on the public housing waiting
lists at the end of each reporting year.
The purpose of the admission and
occupancy policy requirement is to
ensure that public housing agencies
have written documentation of their
respective admission and occupancy
policies for both the public and the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). Public housing
authorities must have on hand and
available for inspection, policies related
to admission and occupancy, to respond
to inquiries from tenants, legal-aid
services, HUD, and other interested
parties informally or through the
Freedom of Information Act of policies
relating to eligibility for admission and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
continued occupancy, local preferences,
income limitations, and rent
determination. HOTMA now requires
PHAs to make an update to their
Admission and Occupancy policy to
apply local over-income limits, and
annually report on the number of overincome families living in their public
housing units as well as the number of
families on the public housing waiting
list.
Additional revisions have been 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 2,897 to
2,774 1 since the last approved
information collection. In general, the
number of PHAs can fluctuate due to
many factors, including but not limited
to the merging of two or more PHAs or
the termination of the public housing
programs due to the Rental Assistance
Demonstration.
Lastly, to provide an opportunity to
respondents to review, this notice
includes a burden statement that will
able be made available on HUD’s
website:
The public reporting burden for this
collection of information for the Admission
and Occupancy Requirements of Public
Housing is estimated to average 24 hours,
including the time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources, gathering,
and maintaining the data needed, and
completing and reviewing the collection of
information.
Send comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this collection
of information, including suggestions to
reduce this burden, to the Reports
Management Officer, Paperwork Reduction
Project, to the Office of Information
Technology, U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development, Washington, DC 20410–
3600. When providing comments, please
refer to OMB Approval No. 2577–0230. HUD
may not conduct and sponsor, and a person
is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless the collection displays a
valid control number.
This collection of information is required
to ensure that public housing agencies have
written documentation of their respective
admission and occupancy policies for both
the public and HUD pursuant to regulations
found at 24 CFR 903.7 and 960. The
information will be used to provide HUD
with sufficient information to enable a
determination that HUD statutory and
regulatory requirements have been met. No
assurances of confidentiality are provided for
this information collection.
