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 Agency (PHA) Lease and
Grievance Requirements.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0006.
Type of Request: Reinstatement, with
change, of previously approved
collection for which approval has
expired.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Public Housing (PH) dwelling lease and
grievance procedures are required by
the United States Housing Act of 1937,
specifically under Sections 6(k) and 6(l).
These sections outline requirements
such as establishing administrative
grievance procedures for Public Housing
Agencies (PHAs), utilizing leases with a
12-month term automatically renewed
except for specific noncompliance
instances, and specifying lease
provisions for families paying the
alternative non-public housing rent
(alternative rent). Detailed regulations
can be found in 24 CFR part 966—
Public Housing Lease and Grievance
Procedure, Subpart A—Dwelling Leases,
Procedures, and Subpart B—Grievance
Procedures and Requirements. Upon
renting and receiving rental housing
assistance, residents must sign a lease
and acknowledge the grievance
procedures, as outlined by the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). PHAs are
responsible for maintaining records and
following these procedures, ensuring
consistency with HUD’s legal and
administrative obligations.
The implementation of the Housing
Opportunity Through Modernization
Act of 2016 (HOTMA) created new lease
requirements in both section 24 CFR
960.507 and 24 CFR 960.509 and made
modifications to section 24 CFR 966.4
(a)(2)(iii). PHAs must now modify the
PH lease to become month-to-month in
the period before termination of an over-
income family and 24 CFR 960.509
explains the new lease requirements for
Non-Public Housing Over-Income
(NPHOI) families. 24 CFR 960.509
stipulates that over-income families
permitted to continue as tenants must
pay the alternative rent and sign the
lease for NPHOI families no later than
either the next lease renewal or 60 days
after receiving the third notification
outlined in 24 CFR 960.507(c)(3),
whichever comes first. HUD specifies
various provisions required in leases for
NPHOI families, including details about
lease parties, duration, covered costs,
renewal or termination procedures,
tenant rent and potential charges, usage
rights, PHA and tenant responsibilities,
repair and access obligations, lease
termination processes, grievance
procedures, and modification protocols.
Members of affected public: Public
Housing leaseholders.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
809,425.
Estimated Number of Responses:
1,133,195.
Frequency of Response: 1.4.
Average Hours per Response: .5.
Total Estimated Burdens: 566,598.

changes + grievances (formal and informal) × 30 minutes (.5 of an hour) median time to complete = 566,598 total hours. (https://www.hud.gov/
program_offices/public_indian_housing/programs/ph/PH_Dashboard)
** Calculation: 566,598, total hours × $22.27 per hour = $12,618,137. The hourly rate assumes that the national average for housing authority
staff responsible for preparing leases earn the equivalent of the 2024 GS Grade 8 Step 1 (https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/
salaries-wages/salary-tables/pdf/2024/GS_h.pdf).
