SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
section A.
The Federal Register notice that
solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60
days was published on September 7,
2022 at 87 FR 54709.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Capital Needs Assessment of Public
Housing.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–New;
pending.
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
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.
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-inspection-
capabilities. It is also seeking to continue increasing
USRAP processing capacity in Central America.

Receipt of Enhancement of Survival
Permit Applications in Support of Quail
Country Programmatic Candidate
Conservation Agreement With
Assurances for North Florida and
Southwest Georgia; Categorical
Exclusion
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability; request
for comments.
AGENCY:
We, the Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service), announce receipt of
two separate applications, one each
from the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC) and
the Georgia Department of Natural
Resources (GADNR), for enhancement of
survival permits under the Endangered
Species Act. The FWC and GADNR have
each applied for a separate permit
associated with the implementation of
the Quail Country Programmatic
Candidate Conservation Agreement with
Assurances (CCAA) for 12 species in
North Florida and Southwest Georgia.
Successful implementation of the CCAA
is expected to enhance the habitat of the
species and protect their habitats from
destruction and degradation. We request
public comment on the applications,
which include the CCAA, and on the
Service’s preliminary determination that
the proposed permitting actions may be
eligible for a categorical exclusion
pursuant to the Council on
Environmental Quality’s National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
regulations, the Department of the
Interior’s (DOI) NEPA regulations, and
the DOI Departmental Manual. To make
this preliminary determination, we
prepared a draft environmental action
statement and low-effect screening form,
both of which are also available for
public review. We invite comment from
the public and local, State, Tribal, and
Federal agencies.
DATES: We must receive your written
comments on or before May 11, 2023.

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Capital Needs Assessment of Public
Housing.
OMB Approval Number: 2528-New; pending.
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 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.
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-
inspection-
[[Page 21705]]
based approach can yield reliable and valid results that are comparable
to those in the past studies, if not better.
