Title of Proposed: Enterprise Income
Verification (EIV) System—Debts owed
to Public Housing Agencies and
Terminations.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0266.
Form Numbers: HUD 52675.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: In
accordance with 24 CFR 5.233,
processing entities that administer the
Public Housing, Section 8 Housing
Choice Voucher, Moderate
Rehabilitation programs are required to
use HUD’s Enterprise Income
Verification (EIV) system to verify
employment and income information of
program participants and to reduce
administrative and subsidy payment
errors. The EIV system is a system of
records owned by HUD, as published in
the Federal Register on July 20, 2005 at
70 FR 41780 and updated on August 8,
2006 at 71 FR 45066. The Department
seeks to identify families who no longer
participate in a HUD rental assistance
program due to adverse termination of
tenancy and/or assistance, and owe a
debt to a Public Housing Agency (PHA).
In accordance with 24 CFR 982.552 and
960.203, the PHA may deny admission
to a program if the family is not suitable
for tenancy for reasons such as, but not
limited to: Unacceptable past
performance in meeting financial
obligations, history of criminal activity,
eviction from Federally assisted housing
in the last five years, family has
committed fraud, bribery, or any other
corrupt or criminal act ion connection
with a Federal housing program, or if a
family currently owes rent or other
amounts to the PHA or to another PHA
in connection with a Federally assisted
housing program under the U.S.
Housing Act of 1937. Within the scope
of this collection of information, HUD
seeks to collect from all PHAs, the
following information: 1. Amount of
debt owed by a former tenant to a PHA;
2. If applicable, indication of executed
repayment agreement; 3. If applicable,
indication of bankruptcy filing; 4. If
applicable, the reason for any adverse
termination of the family from a
Federally assisted housing program.
This information is collected
electronically from PHAs via HUD’s EIV
system. This information is used by
HUD to create a national repository of
families that owe a debt to a PHA and/
or have been terminated from a federally
assisted housing program. This national
repository is available within the EIV

system for all PHAs to access during the
time of application for rental assistance.
PHAs are able to access this information
to determine a family’s suitability for
rental assistance, and avoid providing
limited Federal housing assistance to
families who have previously been
unable to comply with HUD program
requirements. If this information is not
collected, the Department is at risk of
paying limited Federal dollars on behalf
of families who may not be eligible to
receive rental housing assistance.
Furthermore, if this information is not
collected, the public will perceive that
there are no consequences for a family’s
failure to comply with HUD program
requirements.
Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: 4,013 respondents;
303,766 average number of families
annually, requiring monthly average of
25,314 responses; 0.08333 hours per
response; 25,303.71 total burden hours.
Status: Reinstatement with change of
a previously approved collection.
Authority: Section 3507 of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 35, as
amended.
Dated: May 7, 2013.
Colette Pollard,
Department Reports Management Officer,
Office of the Chief Information Officer.
