Short Statement: Current inventory was based on an unknown initial response rate. HUD now has historical data. The actual burden hours over the past three years were used to estimate the number of burden hours for this extension of a currently approved collection, which resulted in a decrease of 29,857 burden hours from the original estimate. The original estimated number of PHAs that could have applied for stop-loss during the five-year transition period, 805, is the number of PHAs that experienced a decrease in their subsidy. It was estimated that the number of PHAs that would submit appeals during the initial period was 1,255. HUD provides for PHAs to stop their reductions in subsidy and to appeal subsidy amounts under specified circumstances
