SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Emergency Housing Voucher and
Stability Voucher Data Collection.
OMB Approval Number: OMB: 2577–
0297.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of
expired data collection.
Form Number: HUD Financial Forms,
HUD–52681–B.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: This is a
reinstatement of emergency PRA 2577–
0297 which will then be discontinued.
The data collected within this PRA has
been absorbed by another collection
2577–0282.
The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV)
Program was recently appropriated
$43,439,000 for a new homeless voucher
program in the Fiscal Year 2021
appropriation and $5,000,000,000 for
Emergency Housing Vouchers in the
American Rescue Plan of 2021. For both
of these new voucher types it is
necessary to have the ability to monitor
and track the expenses and lease-up of
these new vouchers to ensure utilization
and appropriate program oversight.
Without this data collection it will be
impossible to recapture and reallocate
unused vouchers per congressional
mandate.
Overall, the Housing Choice Voucher
program has the need to collect leasing
and expenditure data from Public
Housing Agencies (PHAs) on a monthly
basis to determine utilization for these
vouchers as well as apply cash
management principles for funds
accounting. Further, HUD needs to
collect this leasing and expenditure
information in an expedited manner to
ensure that HUD can follow the
congressional directive to ‘‘revoke and
redistribute any unleased vouchers and
associated funds, including
administrative costs to other public
housing agencies.’’
As a byproduct of the COVID–19
National Emergency, the American
Rescue Plan of 2021 was enacted on
March 11, 2021. The American Rescue
Plan mandates that the Emergency
Housing Vouchers must be allocated to
the PHAs within 60 days of enactment.
With this infusion of $5,000,000,000 in
new vouchers it is essential for HUD to
have the ability to collect leasing and
expenditure information on these new
vouchers to provide transparency and
accountability to the American public.
In total, the ‘‘Emergency Housing
Voucher and Housing Stability Voucher
Data Collection’’ is anticipated to
contain 20 fields. This data must be
reported to HUD on a monthly basis
once vouchers are allocated to the
PHAs.
Respondents: Public Housing
Authorities receiving voucher awards of
Emergency Housing Vouchers and/or
Housing Stability Vouchers.

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:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond; including through
the use of appropriate automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
HUD encourages interested parties to
submit comment in response to these
questions.
