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

necessary to have the ability to monitor and track the expenses and

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.

                                                               Estimation of Burden Hours:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Our burden estimate for the number of respondents is based the 
number of PHAs that have received EHV awards as well as PHAs that will 
receive Stability Vouchers. It is assumed that PHAs will submit data 
monthly which is used to calculate ``responses per annum''. This number 
is multiplied by the burden hours per response to arrive at an annual 
estimate of burden hours. This is then multiplied by median average 
wage of a ``Management Analyst'' according to the Bureau of Labor 
Statistics for 2021 to arrive at a total annual cost.
