Each year Congress appropriates funds
to approximately 3,100 Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) for
modernization, development, financing, and management improvements.
The funds are allocated based on a complex formula. The forms in
this collection are used to appropriately disburse and utilize the
funds provided to PHAs. Additionally, these forms provide the
information necessary to approve a financing transaction in
addition to any Capital Fund Financing transactions. Respondents
include the approximately 3,100 PHA receiving Capital Funds and any
other PHAs wishing to pursue financing.
1. HUD is estimating the hours
for the annual submission of forms HUD-50075.1 and HUD-50075.2 will
increase the burden by 10,540 hours (HUD-50075.1 - 3,100 responses
times 2.4 hours per response, HUD-50075.3 - 3,100 responses times 1
hour per response). These hours were transferred from OMB No.
2577-0274 PHA Plan PRA per the new Capital Fund Rule 24 CFR 905)
and the decoupling of the Capital Fund Annual submission from the
PHA Plan annual submission. In addition, HUD is adding hours to
account for determining whether installation of broadband
infrastructure is feasible for new construction of public housing
units or modernization of public housing units. This determination
is based on a review of the overall costs of the project and the
cost of broadband installation, and the location and structure of
the building. This information is available from construction
estimates; however PHAs will need to prepare a statement justifying
the decision and maintain records of the determination;
accordingly, HUD is allotting ten hours per PHA to this effort.
This is based on an estimate of 5 projects per PHA, and 2 hours per
project to review construction estimates and prepare a
justification.
