proper performance of the functions of

Title of Information Collection:
Requirements for Designating Housing
Projects.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0192.
Type of Request: Revision of currently
approved collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
information collection burden
associated with designated housing is
required by statute. Section 10 of the
Housing Opportunity and Extension Act
of 1996 modified Section 7 of the U.S.
Housing Act of 1937 to require Public
Housing Agencies (PHAs) to submit a
plan for HUD approval before a
project(s) can be designated as either
elderly only, disabled only, or elderly
and disabled. In this plan, PHAs must
document why the designation is
needed and provide the following
information:
1. Description of the designated
housing plan;
2. Justification for the designation;
3. Availability of alternative housing
resources for the non-designated
population(s);
4. Impact on the availability of
accessible housing;
5. A statement that existing tenants in
good standing will not be evicted;
6. A statement of the resources that
will be made available if the PHA offers
voluntary relocation benefits; and
7. Information describing how the
DHP is consistent with any outstanding
court orders, lawsuits, investigations,
Voluntary Compliance Agreements
(VCAs), Conciliation Agreements, or
Letters of Findings or Determinations,
etc., including for example, actions

Housing Act, or the Americans with

Respondents: State, or Local
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 21
for New and Amendment DHPs and 22
for DHP Renewals.
Estimated Number of Responses: 1
per request.
Frequency of Response: As needed for
New/Amendment DHPs and every two
years for renewals.
Average Hours per Response: 15
hours for New and Amendment DHPs
and 3 hours for DHP Renewals
Total Estimated Burdens: 315 hours
for New and Amendment DHPs and 66
for DHP Renewals
The previous estimation of 270
annual burden hours has been increased
to 315 for New and Amendment DHPs
and 66 for DHP Renewals. This change
is based on the average number of Plans
submitted between Calendar Years 2022
and 2023. In FY22 and FY23, several
Public Housing Authorities (PHAs)
failed to renew their DHP in a timely
manner, leading to a slight uptick in the
number of respondents, as these PHAs
were required to submit new plans for
approval. Furthermore, HUD anticipates
a continued decline in the number of
respondents due to the ongoing trend in
PHAs repositioning their developments
and exiting the public housing program.
The national average PHA staff salary
= $64,590 1 per year or $31.00 per hour.
The calculation for costs is as follows:
• New and Amendment DHPs: 21
PHAs × 15 hours = 315 hours × $31 2 =
$9,765.
• DHP Renewals: 22 PHAs × 3 hours
= 66 hours × $31 = $2,046.

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: Public
Housing—Contracting with ResidentOwned Businesses.
OMB Control Number: 2577–0161.
Type of Request: Extension of
previously approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use:
PHAs that entered into contracts with
resident-owned businesses prior to
December 26, 2014, must comply with
the requirements/procedures set forth
in, 24 CFR 85.36(h), and 24 CFR
85.36(i). Contracts with resident-owned
businesses entered into after December
26, 2014, must comply with 24 CFR part
963, 2 CFR 200.325, and 2 CFR 200.326
and other such contract terms that may
be applicable to the procurement under
the Department’s regulations. These
requirements include:
• Certified copies of any State,
county, or municipal licenses that may
be required of the business to engage in
the type of business activity for which
it was formed. Where applicable, the
PHA must obtain a certified copy of its
corporate charter or other organizational
document that verifies that the business
was properly formed in accordance with
State law;
• Certification that shows the
business is owned by residents,
disclosure documents that indicate all
owners of the business and each
owner’s percentage of the business
along with sufficient evidence sufficient
that demonstrates to the satisfaction of
the PHA that the business has the ability
to perform successfully under the terms
and conditions of the proposed contract;
• Certification as to the number of
contracts awarded, and the dollar
amount of each contract award received,
under the alternative procurement
process; and
• Contract award documents, proof of
bonding documents, independent cost
estimates and comparable price
analyses.
Members of affected public: Public
Housing Agencies, and Applicable
Resident Entrepreneurs.
Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response:
Estimated number of respondents: 75.
The calculation for burden hours is as
follows: Calculation for number of
respondents: 75 (estimated number of
PHAs contracting with resident owned
businesses) × 24 (number of hours for
procurement process) = 1,800 total
hours. The Department estimates that
out of a total of 3,763 PHAs only 2
percent or 75 PHAs contract with
resident owned business. This number
is less than the previous request due to
several PHAs choosing to leave the
program, but the Department anticipates
there may have been more business or
contracting opportunities particularly
during the pandemic.
