Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) use this information in budget submissions which are reviewed and approved by HUD field offices as the basis for obligating operating subsidies. This information is necessary to calculate the eligibility for operating subsidies under the Operating Fund Program regulation, as amended. The Operating Fund Program is designed to provide the amount of operating subsidy that would be needed for well-managed PHAs.

The change in burden hours is due to a program change. Beginning July 1, 2007, PHAs began submitting their operating subsidy calculations by asset management projects rather than by PHAs. This resulted in a decrease in respondents from 7,807 to 6,955 resulting in a decrease in the annual burden hours.
