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.
