Short Statement: 15. This collection package is revision of a previously approved collection. This revision is necessary as a result of OMB's request to more closely align the Public Housing Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) with the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) FSS program. For this reason, we are now replacing the old ROSS FSS Form (HUD-52767) with the HCV FSS form (HUD-52651) to use as part of the application package. The burden hours have changed from a total of 3,201 hours to a total of 2425. The burden hours were estimated by HUD staff that completed sample packages of forms.
