HUD will collect and make transparent information on three of the highest compensated employees at public housing agencies (PHAs.)
The burden hour per response estimate has doubled from 20 to 40 minutes. After HUD began this information collection, Congress included a provision in its fiscal year 2012 appropriations legislation that placed a specific cap on the use of Section 8 and Section 9 funds to pay the salaries of PHA officials. To obtain information that will help HUD determine PHA compliance with this and future legislation, and to achieve the same overall objectives of the original information collection, HUD is revising the data collection instrument to collect information on base salary, and bonus and incentive compensation, and the extent to which such payments are made with Section 8 and Section 9 funds.
To help offset the additional burden associated with reporting source of funds, compensation data is now required for three employees instead of five.
HUD will no longer exempt certain voucher-only PHAs (that receive less than half of their funding for employees from HUD). This, however, does not increase the number of respondents because this number already included all possible respondents. HUD had requested that all PHAs voluntarily comply with the reporting requirement, even if they were exempt, and therefore the original number of respondents included exempt PHAs.
