The Rental Assistance Demonstration
allows Public Housing and Moderate Rehabilitation (Mod Rehab)
properties to convert to long-term Section 8 rental assistance
contracts; and Rent Supplement, Rental Assistance Payment and Mod
Rehab properties upon contract expiration or termination, to
convert tenant protection vouchers (TPVs) to project-based vouchers
(PBVs). Participation in the initiative will be voluntary;
The use of normal
clearance procedures is reasonably likely to prevent the collection
of information (i.e. contract execution), which would cause a gap
in the rental assistance to the project, potentially result in the
displacement of families, and disrupt financing. Moreover, the
inability to provide a fully-approved replacement contract under
PIH Notice 2012-32 in a timely fashion would significantly disrupt
the abilities of all affected parties including the property
owner/manager, residents, lenders, and the administering Public
Housing Agency to understand and execute their rights,
responsibilities, and benefits under the contract and, more
critically, those new provisions afforded under PIH Notice 2012-32.
Accordingly, HUD cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance
procedures as the duration of such procedures would likely result
in the disruption of the collection and dissemination of critical
information involved in offering continuous subsidy assistance
afforded by such contracts.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
