Abstract: This information collection is under the authority of Title XII of the American Recovery and Investment Act of 2009 (“the Recovery Act”). Under the Recovery Act, HUD was allocated $1 billion of additional Capital Funds to be made available to PHAs by competition for priority investments, including investments that leverage private sector funding or financing for renovations and energy conservation retrofit investments.

Emergency Justfication: Ms. Kimberly P. Nelson OMB Desk Officer Office of Management and Budget New Executive Office Building Washington, DC 20503 Dear Ms. Nelson: The Department is seeking emergency review of the Paperwork Reduction Act requirements for a new information collection which supports Public Housing Capital Fund Competition. The Notice of Paperwork Submission (copy enclosed), explains the burden of the collection requirements. The Department is also seeking waiver of the Federal Register notice requirement. In compliance with the requirements of 5 CFR 1320.13, this letter requests emergency processing within 7 days from the date of this letter. This request for emergency processing is essential because of the urgency for public housing agencies (PHAs) to implement the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Act provides funds for the Public Housing Capital Fund program and requires HUD to make $1 billion available through a competition to PHAs. The Act requires such funds to be used for priority investments, including investments that leverage private sector funding or financing for renovations and energy conservation retrofit investments. Also, HUD will give priority consideration to the rehabilitation of vacant rental units. The Act requires PHAs to obligate funds within 1 year of the date on which funds become available to the PHA and imposes expenditure deadlines at 2 and 3 years after the authorized funds become available for obligation. The shortened processing period that we are requesting will help facilitate the prompt review and approval of all data collection related to this program. Thank you for your consideration and assistance. Sincerely, Bessy Kong Deputy Assistant Secretary Office of Policy, Programs and Legislative Initiatives
