Jkt 256001
13231 issued on October 16, 2001,
continued and amended under the
authority of E.O. 14048, dated
September 30, 2021. Notice of this
meeting is given under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5
U.S.C. appendix (Pub. L. 92–463). The
NIAC provides the President, through
the Secretary of Homeland Security,
advice on the security and resilience of
the Nation’s critical infrastructure
sectors.
Agenda: The National Infrastructure
Advisory Council will meet in an open
session on Monday, September 26, 2022
from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET to
discuss NIAC activities. The open
session will include: (1) a period for
public comment; (2) a discussion on
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs
Act/Bipartisan Infrastructure Law; and
(3) a roundtable discussion on potential
study topics and subcommittees.
The council will meet in a closed
session from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. ET
during which time senior Government
intelligence officials will provide a
classified threat briefing concerning
threats to the Nation’s critical
infrastructure and engage NIAC
members in follow-on discussions.
Basis for Closure: In accordance with
section 10(d) of FACA and 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(1), The Government in the
Sunshine Act, it has been determined
that a portion of the agenda requires
closure, as the disclosure of the
classified information that will be
discussed would not be in the public
interest.
The agenda item includes a classified
threat briefing and discussion, at which
time senior Government intelligence
officials will discuss information
concerning threats to the Nation’s
critical Infrastructure with NIAC
members. This briefing is anticipated to
be classified at the secret level. Public
disclosure of these threats, as well as
vulnerabilities and mitigations, is a risk
to the Nation’s infrastructure security
posture as adversaries could use this
information to do harm. Therefore, this
portion of the meeting is required to be
closed pursuant to section 10(d) of
FACA and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1).

Type of Request: New collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: The
Office of Policy Development and
Research at the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
is proposing the collection of
information for the Capital Needs
Assessment of Public Housing.
Public housing serves the housing
needs of low- and very-low-income
households, including needy families,
the elderly, and the disabled. In the
United States, public housing is owned
and managed by public housing
authorities (PHAs), which are units of
state and local government. Public
housing is nonetheless heavily
subsidized and regulated by HUD’s
Office of Public and Indian Housing
through the Operating Fund, Capital
Fund, and other means. The capital
needs of public housing have a direct
bearing on HUD’s Capital Fund budget
and its support to PHAs for using
alternative means of financing to meet
those needs.
The number of public housing
developments and units in the United
States and the number of PHAs that own
and manage public housing
developments and units have changed
over time. According to the most recent
HUD data, there are 2,780 PHAs that
own and manage 940,330 units in 6,523
public housing developments.
The public housing Capital Fund
provides funds for the capital and
management activities of PHAs as
Information collection
Number of
respondents
Both surveys also include questions
about the processes that PHAs use to
assess their capital needs. Based on
responses to those questions, the study
will assess PHAs’ processes to see how
they compare to in-person data
collection methods used in previous
CNAs and industry best practices.
The purpose of this assessment is to
better understand if a non-inspectionbased approach can yield reliable and
valid results that are comparable to
those in the past studies, if not better.
Respondents: PHA officials and staff
participating in capital needs
assessments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
This information collection will affect
approximately 800 respondents. This
includes (1) an initial survey of 300
PHAs and (2) a second survey of 500
PHAs.
Estimated Time per Response: Each
PHA survey is expected to take 30
minutes.
Frequency of Response: 1 time for all
surveys.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 400 hours for all surveys.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: 15,212
for all surveys.
Respondent’s Obligation: PHA staff
members.
Legal Authority: The collection of
information is conducted under title 12,
United States Code, section 1701z and
section 3507 of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44, U.S.C., 35, as
amended.
authorized under section 9 of the
Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g)
(the Act). Capital needs are defined by
section 9(d)(1) of the Act, as codified at
24 CFR part 905, with section 200
listing eligible activities. These
activities include, among others, the
development, financing, and
modernization of public housing,
vacancy reduction, nonroutine
maintenance, and planned code
compliance. This work is intended to
bring each PHA’s projects up to
applicable modernization and energy
conservation standards.
This Federal Register Notice provides
an opportunity to comment on the
information collection for the capital
needs assessment (CNA) of public
housing.
After OMB approval of the Paperwork
Reduction Act package, HUD and its
contractor will administer a web-based
survey to a sample of approximately 300
PHAs to collect data on their CNA
estimates, their practices to arrive at
those estimates, and their use of those
estimates.
After analyzing the data from the first
survey of PHAs, HUD and its contractor
will administer a second web-based
survey of another 500 PHAs. This
survey will ask many of the same
questions as the first survey.
Both surveys will provide data that,
when combined with HUD’s other data
sources, will be used to estimate the
capital needs of public housing
following an iterative and duplicable
approach.
