The Public Housing Assessment System requires public housing agencies to submit financial information annually to HUD. The Uniform Financial Reporting Standards for HUD housing programs requires that this information be submitted electronically, using generally accepted accounting principles, in a prescribed format.
The estimated burden hours have been updated from the 2008 PRA submission for the following items: 1) the estimated annual costs to respondents have been updated to reflect the 2011 average annual salary and hourly rate for a GS-13/1 and GS-14/1; and 2) the number of respondents (i.e., population of PHAs) has been updated to reflect the 2010 population of PHAs. Specifically, the number of respondents has been modestly increased by 110 PHAs from the 2008 PRA submission, to reflect the increased reporting of Section 8 only PHAs (from 850 to 960). The number of PHAs reporting to FASS-PH is expected to remain relatively constant over the next three years. Except for these two items, no other adjustments have been made to the estimated burden hours because no significant revisions have been made to the data collection template.
