Housing agencies enter into a Contract of Participation with each eligible family that opts to participate in the program; consult with local officials to develop an Action Plan; and report annually to HUD on implementation of the FSS program. PHAs may apply for funding to pay the salary (including fringe benefits) of FSS program coordinators.`
The Department is seeking to establish an FSS collection that encompasses both the Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher FSS programs. Because PHAs who administer the Public Housing FSS program were covered under a different collection (OMB No. 2577-0229) the Department is incorporating these PHAs and any applicable forms into this collection, and will be making appropriate revisions to OMB No. 2577-0229. Additionally, changes were made to the content of form HUD-52651, and consequently, the burden hours were increased from 0.75 to 1 hour per response.
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.
