SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Emergency Communications Division,
formed under title XVIII of the
Homeland Security Act of 2002, 6
U.S.C. 571 et seq., as amended, provides
emergency communications-related
technical assistance at no charge to
State, regional, local, and tribal
government officials. To receive this
technical assistance, stakeholders must
submit a request form identifying their
priorities. In order for ECD to assess the
value of the services it provides through
technical assistance; an evaluation form
is also requested of those receiving
technical assistance.
ECD uses the Technical Assistance
Request Form (DHS Form 9043) to
identify the number and type of
technical assistance services needed by
the State, territory, local, and tribal
agencies. This information enables ECD
to plan and align resources accordingly.
ECD considers each request based on
the priority indicated by the State, as
well as the anticipated impact of the
service offering on the implementation
of the Statewide Communication
Interoperability Plan (SCIP) and the
applicability to National Emergency
Communications Plan (NECP). The
evaluation form (DHS Form 9042) is
completed by stakeholders at the
completion of ECD technical assistance
services and enables ECD to assess the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:01 Jun 06, 2023
Jkt 259001
quality of technical assistance services
provided and, in a holistic fashion,
measure the value of the services. The
information collected through these
evaluations is used by ECD for
continued improvement planning.
Approximately 100 percent of request
and evaluation forms are submitted
electronically by logging into the portal
at https://www.cisa.cisa.gov/safecom/
ictapscip-resources.
From the website, users are able to
select the appropriate form, either the
Technical Assistance Requests (DHS
Form 9043) and/or the TA Evaluation
forms (DHS Form 9042), to complete as
a fillable PDF. Each form is then
submitted by email to either
TARequest@cisa.dhs.gov or
TAevaluations@cisa.dhs.gov,
respectively.
The changes to the collection since
the previous OMB approval include:
Updating the web address, decreasing
the estimated number of responses,
decreasing the burden time, and
increasing the cost estimates.
This is a renewal of the existing
information collection. There are no
substantial changes to the current
approval. TA services by category type
(NAME) have been added or removed
throughout the form lifecycle. The
current approval is set to expire on 7/
31/2023.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate 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. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

In response to public comments on

comments on the proposed changes or
additional changes that should be
considered when renewing this

relevant to burden reduction. One

significant change proposed in the 60day notice which HUD maintains is
moving the codes from the Forms
themselves and placing them in the
instruction booklet to ease the use of the
Forms and allow for non-significant
future updates. While HUD still updates
the instruction booklet, HUD has made
sample forms and instructions available
for the public to see updated codes
during the 30-day comment period. The
forms and sample instructions can be
viewed at www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain by finding this particular
information collection by selecting

search function.
HUD–50058 Forms: The following
provides a general overview of the
changes that HUD is considering:
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Section 1: Agency
HUD maintains the proposal from the
60-day notice to update the program
types and add the unit real estate ID
number to this section.
Section 2: Action
HUD maintains the proposal from the
60-day notice to update the codes for
special programs and type of actions.
For the type of action codes, HUD
would remove the ‘‘Historical
Adjustment’’ code, and add codes for
PBV Transfer to Tenant-Based Voucher
and two action types that will allow
PHAs to record changes when the
family will not receive an interim
income reexamination due to Housing
Opportunity Through Modernization
Act of 2016, Public Law 114–201,
(HOTMA) rulemaking—Household
Composition Change Only; and Other
Change, Non-Income Threshold. In
addition, HUD would change the FSS
participation question to a Supportive
Service program participation question
to align with the changes in Section 17.
HUD also would add questions to list
the primary reason for a family’s end of
participation, similar to the current
HUD–50058 MTW Expansion, but add
additional ‘‘Tenant Initiated’’ code and
‘‘Nonpayment of Rent’’ as a code. Lastly,
HUD would add a question on reasons
for a family’s interim reexamination
(already on the HUD–50058 MTW
Expansion); the type of HCV voucher
issued, if applicable; and a date a
participant vacated an HCV unit, if
applicable.
Section 3: Household
HUD at the 30-day notice is adding a
new special status code at question 3o
to allow PHAs to enter when there is a
joint child custody arrangement. HUD
has also decided to proceed with
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:01 Jun 06, 2023
Jkt 259001
changes in the 30-day notice to the
questions on Sex and Race asked at the
60-day comment period. HUD responds
to comments received on changes to
section 3 and explains the changes
below:
Sex and Sexual Orientation
HUD asked for comment on updating
the field for ‘‘Sex’’ to ‘‘Gender’’ and
allow for inclusion of ‘‘other’’
responses. Similarly, HUD asked for
comment on including a request for
information about a household
member’s Sexual Orientation on the
form. Some commenters supported
improved demographic information
collection on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ)
participants by updating the field for
gender and sexual orientation.
Commenters requested HUD provide
more information on how collecting
information about gender identity and
sexual orientation is relevant to the
subsidy or qualifications for the
program, and how HUD would use the
data. One commenter suggested that
data be used directly to enhance
services and strengthen housing
stability. Another commenter requested
that respondents be told how the data
would be used. Commenters asked what
safeguards HUD would put in place to
maintain security of individuals’
information. One commenter asked
whether the information would impact
transferability and cross-program
applications. One commenter asked
how HUD planned to protect
individuals and ensure protections in
states where legislative efforts are
specifically working against LGBTQ
individuals, and other commenters
noted concern for targeting of those in
the LGBTQ community. One commenter
noted HUD should consider the
administrative burden of adding the
questions. Commenters requested more
guidance and training from HUD on
implementing these changes and
ensuring safeguards for the data.
Specifically, guidance as requested on
how to determine bedroom size
eligibility for minors and training for
staff on asking the questions
appropriately.
One commenter suggested HUD
engage advocacy organizations to
consider how vital this information is at
program enrollment versus at another
point of time. One commenter noted the
importance of the information for
understanding LGBTQ older adults and
their experience accessing housing, and
that statistics support respondents
wanting to answer Sexual Orientation
and Gender Identity (SOGI) questions.
One commenter noted without this data
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
HUD would be unable to determine how
to target limited agency resources to
better serve the LGBTQ community.
Another commenter suggested HUD
make changes to other HUD forms.
While commenters supported more
inclusive gender options, commenters
also proposed additional alternatives for
gender to include ‘‘did not disclose/did
not know,’’ ‘‘other,’’ separating
transgender and non-binary options,
asking sex assigned at birth separately
from current gender identity, intersex,
or multiple selection. One commenter
specifically noted the need to include
‘‘intersex’’ consistent with Executive
Order 14075 ‘‘Advancing Equality for
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender,
Queer, and Intersex Individuals.’’ Some
commenters opposed adding additional
options, removing sex, or making it
multiple select because it could impact
occupancy standards. Commenters
supportive of the change recognized the
benefit of having the gender codes align
with State requirements. Commenters
also asked how the change to gender
would work in determining bedroom
sizes under HCV. The commenters also
asked HUD to analyze the reliability of
the data.
Commenters both supported and
opposed adding questions about sexual
orientation. One commenter
recommended assessing sexual
orientation at the household rather than
individual level. While some
commenters supported adding sexual
orientation, commenters also proposed
additional alternatives to include ‘‘did
not disclose/did not know,’’ ‘‘other’’ or
multiple selection. Another commenter
felt that the information may create
distrust with clients, that some clients
may refrain from answering or accessing
services, and that the information was
not relevant to the application. One
commenter noted that statistics show
that including questions on sexual
orientation makes individual’s
experiences seem valued and are not
typically viewed as invasive. The
commenter also noted that such
questions should include clear privacy
standards and provide answering the
question as optional.
HUD appreciates the comments
supporting the additional changes on
collecting ‘‘Gender’’ and proposed
changes to how to collect ‘‘gender
identity’’ and ‘‘sex.’’ HUD recognizes
the importance of aligning with other
HUD programs and State law. HUD also
recognizes the importance of allowing
individuals to select multiple options
and to change the options to allow more
choice. HUD received many different
proposals on options to provide and
commenters flagged that adding more

07JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 7, 2023 / Notices
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
options could complicate statistical
reporting, increase administrative
burden, and impact unit size
determinations. HUD also received
concerns about making this change and
question around the need for such
information.
In an effort to address all these
concerns and still align with other
programs, consistent with HUD’s
proposed change, HUD will maintain a
question on ‘‘Gender’’ and no longer
collect ‘‘Sex.’’ HUD has always collected
‘‘Sex’’ for determining bedroom size but
recognized that changes in State laws
and for accurate representation of the
people we serve that the current
collection options around ‘‘Sex’’ were
flawed. In addition, HUD has settled on
adding a response for ‘‘X-Other/NonBinary/Gender Non-Conforming’’ in
addition to existing ‘‘Male’’ and
‘‘Female’’ choices. HUD believes this
aligns closely to Census Bureau
standards and provides an alternative
consistent with States that recognize X
gender codes. HUD also recognizes this
change will require technical assistance
and guidance to help implement, which
HUD plans to provide.
HUD received comments both in
support and opposition to adding a
question on ‘‘sexual orientation.’’
Commenters raised questions on the
need for the information, administrative
burden, the impact on the privacy of
respondents, analysis of the value of
collecting the data, information about
data security and accuracy, impact on
transferability, invasiveness of question,
and lack of trust that may result
between PHAs and clients. In addition,
commenters noted that HUD should
provide best practices on how PHAs
could have responsible data collection
practices and training on how to collect
the information and ensure no
discriminatory impact on clients.
Given all the responses HUD received,
HUD believes that collecting of this
information at this point before
addressing the multiple questions raised
about impacts on privacy, accuracy, and
appropriateness of this vehicle to collect
this information and data security is
premature. HUD will consider in what
form this question should be added in
the future and how HUD can address all
the questions raised prior to adding this
question.
Disability
HUD asked for comment on adding a
‘‘No Response’’ code to the Disability
question. HUD received a couple of
comments in support and other
comments suggesting a ‘‘did not
disclose’’ answer. One commenter noted
that the change could impact
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:01 Jun 06, 2023
Jkt 259001
allowances provided to tenant, require
additional training for both providers
and tenants, and could result in
incorrect data collection and rent
calculation.
HUD appreciates the general support
on adding a ‘‘no disability’’ response
option on the Forms and other
suggested additions. HUD agrees with
the commenter that raised concerns that
making this change would require
additional training and could result in
incorrect data collection and rent
calculation. Therefore, given the
additional changes HUD is making to
comply with HOTMA and the potential
for errors when providing accurate
allowances, HUD has decided to hold
on making this change.
Race
HUD asked for comment on updating
the codes for Race to include a new
code for ‘‘Other’’. HUD received
comments in support of adding ‘‘Other’’
in the race field. Other commenters
recommended changing ‘‘Other’’ to
‘‘Another Race’’ or ‘‘Some other race’’
because of the negative connotation of
‘‘Other.’’ Other commenters suggested
the inclusion of ‘‘Middle East and North
African,’’ ‘‘Did not disclose,’’ or
‘‘Multiracial.’’ Commenters supported
HUD’s effort to align with OMB’s race
and ethnicity statistical standards, and
others requested that HUD ensure
consistency across PIH and Multifamily.
Commenters also asked that HUD
consider the impact on uniform data in
making changes.
HUD recognizes the importance of
aligning our codes with Multifamily and
government-wide efforts being
undertaken by OMB. HUD agrees that
there are many other options that could
be added but believes aligning with
other government and HUD information
collections is important. Therefore, until
OMB completes its update of race and
ethnicity statistical standards HUD
intends not to add the few suggested
new categories. However, HUD
appreciates the comments on changing
‘‘other’’ to ‘‘Some Other Race’’ and
thinks doing so still aligns with
Multifamily and other agency use of the
word ‘‘Other’’ and limiting the number
of changes. Having moved these codes
to the Instruction Booklet, HUD can
make additional changes in the future
when OMB completes its update.
Alien Registration
HUD asked for comment on changing
the Alien Registration number at the 60day notice. HUD received a comment
proposing that HUD maintain the Alien
Registration Number because it is used
to request SAVE verification and
PO 00000
Frm 00065
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
37263
confirm immigration status and another
comment that noted the PHA could not
use the USCIS case number as a
substitute in the SAVE system. Given
the comments, HUD will not make a
change to the form but intends to
provide further guidance in the
Instruction Booklet.
Section 4: Background at Admission
HUD maintains the proposal from the
60-day notice to include a date when
the family was selected from the waiting
list; if the family was formerly
homeless; if the family transitioned out
of an institutional setting; and whether
there was a special non-waiting list
admission.
Section 5: Unit To Be Occupied on
Effective Date of Action
HUD maintains the proposal from the
60-day notice to add an urbanization
code to accommodate Puerto Rican
addresses; provide for the type of
accessible unit identified by the PHA;
and include whether the last inspection
passed by the unit was an alternative
inspection.
Section 6: Assets
HUD maintains the proposal from the
60-day notice to delineate actual income
from imputed income for each family
member consistent with HUD’s HOTMA
rulemaking. HUD, at this 30-day notice,
proposes to include a new field that
would ask whether such asset listed was
included in new family assets.
Additional instructions on this will be
provided in the 50058 Instruction
Booklet.
Section 7: Income
HUD is maintaining the 60-day notice
proposal to add questions required to be
supplied by the PHA to help determine
whether a family is subject to HOTMA’s
public housing over-income rule: what
the applicable over-income limit for
families of the application’s size is;
whether the family is over-income; and
the date the over-income family began
the 24 consecutive month grace period.
These questions have been moved to
Section 7, since PHAs will be asked to
compare the family’s annual income to
the over-income limit.
Section 8: Expected Income Per Year
HUD, at this 30-day notice, is
proposing to expand the ‘‘Permissive
Deductions’’ question at 8b beyond
Public Housing only. HUD maintains
the proposal from the 60-day notice to
rename this section ‘‘Deductions and
Allowances.’’ HUD notes this name
change follows an identical proposal
already made on the HUD–50058–
E:\FR\FM\07JNN1.SGM
07JNN1
37264
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 7, 2023 / Notices
MTW–Expansion. HUD believes that
this term accurately reflects the content
of the section and clearly delineates it
from the preceding section.
HUD also maintains the proposals
from the 60-day notice to include a new
question for families to indicate whether
a family is eligible for a medical
hardship expense, childcare hardship
expense or both, consistent with HUD’s
HOTMA rulemaking.
Section 10: Public Housing and Turnkey
III
HUD maintains the proposal from the
60-day notice to revise Section 10
heading to remove ‘‘and Turnkey III’’
and remove the income-based ceiling
rent question and replace the ‘‘incomebased ceiling rent’’ reference with ‘‘flat
rent.’’

Section 11: Section 8: Project Based
Certificates and Vouchers
HUD, at this 30-day notice, is
proposing to include items requesting
information on whether the family
received mobility-related services;
whether a security deposit was paid by
the PHA on behalf of the family; and
whether the family received additional
financial assistance consistent with the
60-day notice proposed changes to
Section 12.
HUD maintains the proposal from the
60-day notice to revise Section 11
heading to remove reference to
‘‘Certificates’’ and add a question to
include the HAP Contract ID Number, as
assigned by the PBV HAP Contract
Collection module in the Housing
Information Portal (HIP).
Section 12: Housing Choice Vouchers:
Tenant Based Vouchers
HUD maintains the proposal from the
60-day notice to remove the question
about whether the family qualifies as
‘‘Hard to House.’’ In addition, HUD
maintains the request for information on
whether the family received mobilityrelated services; whether a security
deposit was paid by the PHA on behalf
of the family; and whether the family
received a higher payment standard as
reasonable accommodation. In addition,
HUD maintains the request to add from
the HUD–50058 MTW Expansion, the
questions about additional Payments,
not HAP Payments, for tenant-based
voucher family and financial incentives
for property owners.
Section 17: Family Self-Sufficiency
(FSS)/Welfare to Work (WtW) Voucher
Addendum
HUD maintains the proposal from the
60-day notice to revise Section 17
heading to read ‘‘Supportive Services
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:01 Jun 06, 2023
Jkt 259001
Programs,’’ and remove the Welfare to
Work voucher questions. Additionally,
HUD maintains the other changes to
require information on effective date;
add options to the question of why a
participant exited the FSS program;
information on employment; services
for other supportive services programs,
such as ROSS and Jobs Plus; amend the
list of benefits a participating family
receives; and update the services
needed by/provided to participating
families. In addition, HUD maintains
the proposal to remove the questions
about who provides the services, and
whether the family received a selection
preference.
HUD–50058 MTW and HUD–50058
MTW Expansion Form: HUD maintains
the proposal from the 60-day notice to
make conforming changes mentioned
above. In addition, HUD maintains the
proposal to: remove the date of
admission to the MTW program because
it was unnecessary; add in a question on
the total homeownership assistance
payment (HAP); and to remove
reference to ‘‘Local, Non-Traditional
Assistance.’’

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Family Report, MTW Family Report,
MTW Expansion Family Report.
OMB Approval Number: 2577-0083.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Form Number: Form HUD-50058 Family Report, HUD-50058 MTW Family
Report, Form HUD-50058 MTW Expansion Family Report.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Office of Public and Indian Housing of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) provides funding to public housing agencies
(PHAs) to administer assisted housing programs. Form HUD-50058, Form
HUD-50058 MTW, and Form HUD-50058 MTW Expansion Family Reports solicit
demographic, family profile, income, and housing information on the
entire nationwide population of tenants residing in assisted housing.
The information collected through the Form HUD-50058 will be used to
monitor and evaluate the Public Housing, Section 8 Housing Choice
Voucher, Section 8 Project-Based Vouchers, and Section 8 Moderate
Rehabilitation programs. The information collected through the Form
HUD-50058 MTW will be used to monitor and evaluate current Moving to
Work (MTW) PHAs participating in the MTW Demonstration program which
includes the Public Housing, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, and
Section 8 Project-Based Vouchers programs. The information collected
through the Form HUD-50058 MTW Expansion will be used to monitor and
evaluate the expansion MTW PHAs (PHAs designated as MTW pursuant to the
2016 Expansion Statute, Section 239 of the Fiscal Year 2016
Appropriations Act, Pub. L. 114-113), that are participating in the MTW
Demonstration program, which includes the Public Housing, Section 8
Housing Choice Voucher, Section 8 Project-Based Vouchers, Local, Non-
Traditional Property-Based, and Local, Non-Traditional Tenant-Based
programs.
Tenant data is collected to understand demographic, family profile,
income, and housing information for participants in the Public Housing,
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, Section 8 Project Based Certificate,
Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation, and MTW Demonstration programs. This
data also allows HUD to monitor the performance of programs and the,
performance of public housing agencies that administer the programs.
Respondents: Public Housing Agencies, State and local governments,
individuals and households.

B. 60-Day Notice for Comment
HUD proposed changes in the 60-day notice to the HUD-50058 Family
Report and necessary corresponding changes to the HUD-50058 MTW and
HUD-50058 MTW Expansion Reports for consistency, along with a few minor
revisions. More information about those changes are found in the
February 8, 2023, 60-Day Notice of Proposed Information Collection:
Family Report, MTW Family Report, MTW Expansion Family Report; OMB
Control No. 2577-0083. 88 FR 8301.
In response to the 60-day notice, HUD received 16 public comments.
HUD responds to comments received below for those comments received in
response to specific questions asked by HUD in the 60-day notice, and
HUD responses to other comments are in the 30-day notice Supporting
Statement and can be found at www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain by
finding this particular information collection by selecting ``Currently
under 30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search
function.
C. 30-Day Notice for Comment
In response to public comments on the 60-day notice, HUD is
proposing a few minorhanges. HUD welcomes comments on the proposed
changes or additional changes that should be considered when renewing
this information collection, especially relevant to burden reduction.
One
[[Page 37262]]
significant change proposed in the 60-day notice which HUD maintains is
moving the codes from the Forms themselves and placing them in the
instruction booklet to ease the use of the Forms and allow for non-
significant future updates. While HUD still updates the instruction
booklet, HUD has made sample forms and instructions available for the
public to see updated codes during the 30-day comment period. The forms
and sample instructions can be viewed at www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain by finding this particular information collection by selecting
``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using
the search function.
HUD-50058 Forms: The following provides a general overview of the
changes that HUD is considering:
Section 1: Agency
HUD maintains the proposal from the 60-day notice to update the
program types and add the unit real estate ID number to this section.
Section 2: Action
HUD maintains the proposal from the 60-day notice to update the
codes for special programs and type of actions. For the type of action
codes, HUD would remove the ``Historical Adjustment'' code, and add
codes for PBV Transfer to Tenant-Based Voucher and two action types
that will allow PHAs to record changes when the family will not receive
an interim income reexamination due to Housing Opportunity Through
Modernization Act of 2016, Public Law 114-201, (HOTMA) rulemaking--
Household Composition Change Only; and Other Change, Non-Income
Threshold. In addition, HUD would change the FSS participation question
to a Supportive Service program participation question to align with
the changes in Section 17. HUD also would add questions to list the
primary reason for a family's end of participation, similar to the
current HUD-50058 MTW Expansion, but add additional ``Tenant
Initiated'' code and ``Nonpayment of Rent'' as a code. Lastly, HUD
would add a question on reasons for a family's interim reexamination
(already on the HUD-50058 MTW Expansion); the type of HCV voucher
issued, if applicable; and a date a participant vacated an HCV unit, if
applicable.
Section 3: Household
HUD at the 30-day notice is adding a new special status code at
question 3o to allow PHAs to enter when there is a joint child custody
arrangement. HUD has also decided to proceed with changes in the 30-day
notice to the questions on Sex and Race asked at the 60-day comment
period. HUD responds to comments received on changes to section 3 and
explains the changes below:
Sex and Sexual Orientation
HUD asked for comment on updating the field for ``Sex'' to
``Gender'' and allow for inclusion of ``other'' responses. Similarly,
HUD asked for comment on including a request for information about a
household member's Sexual Orientation on the form. Some commenters
supported improved demographic information collection on Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) participants by updating the
field for gender and sexual orientation. Commenters requested HUD
provide more information on how collecting information about gender
identity and sexual orientation is relevant to the subsidy or
qualifications for the program, and how HUD would use the data. One
commenter suggested that data be used directly to enhance services and
strengthen housing stability. Another commenter requested that
respondents be told how the data would be used. Commenters asked what
safeguards HUD would put in place to maintain security of individuals'
information. One commenter asked whether the information would impact
transferability and cross-program applications. One commenter asked how
HUD planned to protect individuals and ensure protections in states
where legislative efforts are specifically working against LGBTQ
individuals, and other commenters noted concern for targeting of those
in the LGBTQ community. One commenter noted HUD should consider the
administrative burden of adding the questions. Commenters requested
more guidance and training from HUD on implementing these changes and
ensuring safeguards for the data. Specifically, guidance as requested
on how to determine bedroom size eligibility for minors and training
for staff on asking the questions appropriately.
One commenter suggested HUD engage advocacy organizations to
consider how vital this information is at program enrollment versus at
another point of time. One commenter noted the importance of the
information for understanding LGBTQ older adults and their experience
accessing housing, and that statistics support respondents wanting to
answer Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) questions. One
commenter noted without this data HUD would be unable to determine how
to target limited agency resources to better serve the LGBTQ community.
Another commenter suggested HUD make changes to other HUD forms.
While commenters supported more inclusive gender options,
commenters also proposed additional alternatives for gender to include
``did not disclose/did not know,'' ``other,'' separating transgender
and non-binary options, asking sex assigned at birth separately from
current gender identity, intersex, or multiple selection. One commenter
specifically noted the need to include ``intersex'' consistent with
Executive Order 14075 ``Advancing Equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Individuals.'' Some commenters opposed
adding additional options, removing sex, or making it multiple select
because it could impact occupancy standards. Commenters supportive of
the change recognized the benefit of having the gender codes align with
State requirements. Commenters also asked how the change to gender
would work in determining bedroom sizes under HCV. The commenters also
asked HUD to analyze the reliability of the data.
Commenters both supported and opposed adding questions about sexual
orientation. One commenter recommended assessing sexual orientation at
the household rather than individual level. While some commenters
supported adding sexual orientation, commenters also proposed
additional alternatives to include ``did not disclose/did not know,''
``other'' or multiple selection. Another commenter felt that the
information may create distrust with clients, that some clients may
refrain from answering or accessing services, and that the information
was not relevant to the application. One commenter noted that
statistics show that including questions on sexual orientation makes
individual's experiences seem valued and are not typically viewed as
invasive. The commenter also noted that such questions should include
clear privacy standards and provide answering the question as optional.
HUD appreciates the comments supporting the additional changes on
collecting ``Gender'' and proposed changes to how to collect ``gender
identity'' and ``sex.'' HUD recognizes the importance of aligning with
other HUD programs and State law. HUD also recognizes the importance of
allowing individuals to select multiple options and to change the
options to allow more choice. HUD received many different proposals on
options to provide and commenters flagged that adding more
[[Page 37263]]
options could complicate statistical reporting, increase administrative
burden, and impact unit size determinations. HUD also received concerns
about making this change and question around the need for such
information.
In an effort to address all these concerns and still align with
other programs, consistent with HUD's proposed change, HUD will
maintain a question on ``Gender'' and no longer collect ``Sex.'' HUD
has always collected ``Sex'' for determining bedroom size but
recognized that changes in State laws and for accurate representation
of the people we serve that the current collection options around
``Sex'' were flawed. In addition, HUD has settled on adding a response
for ``X-Other/Non-Binary/Gender Non-Conforming'' in addition to
existing ``Male'' and ``Female'' choices. HUD believes this aligns
closely to Census Bureau standards and provides an alternative
consistent with States that recognize X gender codes. HUD also
recognizes this change will require technical assistance and guidance
to help implement, which HUD plans to provide.
HUD received comments both in support and opposition to adding a
question on ``sexual orientation.'' Commenters raised questions on the
need for the information, administrative burden, the impact on the
privacy of respondents, analysis of the value of collecting the data,
information about data security and accuracy, impact on
transferability, invasiveness of question, and lack of trust that may
result between PHAs and clients. In addition, commenters noted that HUD
should provide best practices on how PHAs could have responsible data
collection practices and training on how to collect the information and
ensure no discriminatory impact on clients.
Given all the responses HUD received, HUD believes that collecting
of this information at this point before addressing the multiple
questions raised about impacts on privacy, accuracy, and
appropriateness of this vehicle to collect this information and data
security is premature. HUD will consider in what form this question
should be added in the future and how HUD can address all the questions
raised prior to adding this question.
Disability
HUD asked for comment on adding a ``No Response'' code to the
Disability question. HUD received a couple of comments in support and
other comments suggesting a ``did not disclose'' answer. One commenter
noted that the change could impact allowances provided to tenant,
require additional training for both providers and tenants, and could
result in incorrect data collection and rent calculation.
HUD appreciates the general support on adding a ``no disability''
response option on the Forms and other suggested additions. HUD agrees
with the commenter that raised concerns that making this change would
require additional training and could result in incorrect data
collection and rent calculation. Therefore, given the additional
changes HUD is making to comply with HOTMA and the potential for errors
when providing accurate allowances, HUD has decided to hold on making
this change.
Race
HUD asked for comment on updating the codes for Race to include a
new code for ``Other''. HUD received comments in support of adding
``Other'' in the race field. Other commenters recommended changing
``Other'' to ``Another Race'' or ``Some other race'' because of the
negative connotation of ``Other.'' Other commenters suggested the
inclusion of ``Middle East and North African,'' ``Did not disclose,''
or ``Multiracial.'' Commenters supported HUD's effort to align with
OMB's race and ethnicity statistical standards, and others requested
that HUD ensure consistency across PIH and Multifamily. Commenters also
asked that HUD consider the impact on uniform data in making changes.
HUD recognizes the importance of aligning our codes with
Multifamily and government-wide efforts being undertaken by OMB. HUD
agrees that there are many other options that could be added but
believes aligning with other government and HUD information collections
is important. Therefore, until OMB completes its update of race and
ethnicity statistical standards HUD intends not to add the few
suggested new categories. However, HUD appreciates the comments on
changing ``other'' to ``Some Other Race'' and thinks doing so still
aligns with Multifamily and other agency use of the word ``Other'' and
limiting the number of changes. Having moved these codes to the
Instruction Booklet, HUD can make additional changes in the future when
OMB completes its update.
Alien Registration
HUD asked for comment on changing the Alien Registration number at
the 60-day notice. HUD received a comment proposing that HUD maintain
the Alien Registration Number because it is used to request SAVE
verification and confirm immigration status and another comment that
noted the PHA could not use the USCIS case number as a substitute in
the SAVE system. Given the comments, HUD will not make a change to the
form but intends to provide further guidance in the Instruction
Booklet.
Section 4: Background at Admission
HUD maintains the proposal from the 60-day notice to include a date
when the family was selected from the waiting list; if the family was
formerly homeless; if the family transitioned out of an institutional
setting; and whether there was a special non-waiting list admission.
Section 5: Unit To Be Occupied on Effective Date of Action
HUD maintains the proposal from the 60-day notice to add an
urbanization code to accommodate Puerto Rican addresses; provide for
the type of accessible unit identified by the PHA; and include whether
the last inspection passed by the unit was an alternative inspection.
Section 6: Assets
HUD maintains the proposal from the 60-day notice to delineate
actual income from imputed income for each family member consistent
with HUD's HOTMA rulemaking. HUD, at this 30-day notice, proposes to
include a new field that would ask whether such asset listed was
included in new family assets. Additional instructions on this will be
provided in the 50058 Instruction Booklet.
Section 7: Income
HUD is maintaining the 60-day notice proposal to add questions
required to be supplied by the PHA to help determine whether a family
is subject to HOTMA's public housing over-income rule: what the
applicable over-income limit for families of the application's size is;
whether the family is over-income; and the date the over-income family
began the 24 consecutive month grace period. These questions have been
moved to Section 7, since PHAs will be asked to compare the family's
annual income to the over-income limit.
Section 8: Expected Income Per Year
HUD, at this 30-day notice, is proposing to expand the ``Permissive
Deductions'' question at 8b beyond Public Housing only. HUD maintains
the proposal from the 60-day notice to rename this section ``Deductions
and Allowances.'' HUD notes this name change follows an identical
proposal already made on the HUD-50058-
[[Page 37264]]
MTW-Expansion. HUD believes that this term accurately reflects the
content of the section and clearly delineates it from the preceding
section.
HUD also maintains the proposals from the 60-day notice to include
a new question for families to indicate whether a family is eligible
for a medical hardship expense, childcare hardship expense or both,
consistent with HUD's HOTMA rulemaking.
Section 10: Public Housing and Turnkey III
HUD maintains the proposal from the 60-day notice to revise Section
10 heading to remove ``and Turnkey III'' and remove the income-based
ceiling rent question and replace the ``income-based ceiling rent''
reference with ``flat rent.''
Section 11: Section 8: Project Based Certificates and Vouchers
HUD, at this 30-day notice, is proposing to include items
requesting information on whether the family received mobility-related
services; whether a security deposit was paid by the PHA on behalf of
the family; and whether the family received additional financial
assistance consistent with the 60-day notice proposed changes to
Section 12.
HUD maintains the proposal from the 60-day notice to revise Section
11 heading to remove reference to ``Certificates'' and add a question
to include the HAP Contract ID Number, as assigned by the PBV HAP
Contract Collection module in the Housing Information Portal (HIP).
Section 12: Housing Choice Vouchers: Tenant Based Vouchers
HUD maintains the proposal from the 60-day notice to remove the
question about whether the family qualifies as ``Hard to House.'' In
addition, HUD maintains the request for information on whether the
family received mobility-related services; whether a security deposit
was paid by the PHA on behalf of the family; and whether the family
received a higher payment standard as reasonable accommodation. In
addition, HUD maintains the request to add from the HUD-50058 MTW
Expansion, the questions about additional Payments, not HAP Payments,
for tenant-based voucher family and financial incentives for property
owners.
Section 17: Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS)/Welfare to Work (WtW) Voucher
Addendum
HUD maintains the proposal from the 60-day notice to revise Section
17 heading to read ``Supportive Services Programs,'' and remove the
Welfare to Work voucher questions. Additionally, HUD maintains the
other changes to require information on effective date; add options to
the question of why a participant exited the FSS program; information
on employment; services for other supportive services programs, such as
ROSS and Jobs Plus; amend the list of benefits a participating family
receives; and update the services needed by/provided to participating
families. In addition, HUD maintains the proposal to remove the
questions about who provides the services, and whether the family
received a selection preference.
HUD-50058 MTW and HUD-50058 MTW Expansion Form: HUD maintains the
proposal from the 60-day notice to make conforming changes mentioned
above. In addition, HUD maintains the proposal to: remove the date of
admission to the MTW program because it was unnecessary; add in a
question on the total homeownership assistance payment (HAP); and to
remove reference to ``Local, Non-Traditional Assistance.''
D. 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;
