Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use

SUMMARY:

DATES:

A. Overview of Information Collection

Public Housing Agencies (PHA) will
prepare an application for funding
which specifies the number of units
requested, as well as the PHA’s
objectives and plans for administering
the Housing Choice (HCV) and Project
Base Voucher (PBV) programs. The
application is reviewed by HUD
Headquarters and HUD Field Offices
and ranked according to the PHA’s
administrative capability, the need for
housing assistance, and other factors
specified in a notice of funding
availability. The PHAs must establish a
utility allowance schedule for all
utilities and other services. Units must
be inspected using HUD-prescribed
forms to determine if the units meet the
Housing Quality Standards (HQS) of the
HCV program. After the family is issued
a HCV to search for a unit pursuant to
attending a briefing and receiving an
information packet, the family must
complete and submit to the PHA a
Request for Tenancy Approval when it
finds a unit which is suitable for its
needs. Initial PHAs will use a
standardized form to submit portability
information to the receiving PHA who
will also use the form for monthly
portability billing. PHAs and owners
will enter into housing assistance
payments (HAP) contract each
providing information on rents,
payments, certifications, notifications,
and owner agreement in a form
acceptable to the PHA. A Tenancy
Addendum for the HCV program is
included in the HAP contract as well as
incorporated in the lease between the
owner and the family. Families that
participate in the Homeownership
option will execute a statement
regarding their responsibilities and
execute contracts of sale including an

additional contract of sale for new
construction units. PHAs participating
in the PBV program will enter into
Agreements with owners for developing
projects, HAP contracts with the
existing and New Construction/
Rehabilitation owners, a Statement of
Family Responsibilities with the family
and a lease addendum for execution
between the family and the owner. New
requirements have been established for
independent entities in both the HCV
and PBV programs. In addition, new
requirements have been established for
the Housing Opportunities Through
Modernization (HOTMA) rule of 2016.
HOTMA made changes to both the
definition of PHA-owned housing and
several changes to the PBV program to
conform with HOTMA requirements. As
a result of these updates, changes have
been made to the following forms: PBV
HAP Contracts (both for existing
housing (HUD–52530 A and B) and new
Construction/Rehab (HUD 52531 A and
B); PBV Tenancy Addendum; (HUD
53530c) and HCV HAP Contract (HUD
52641).
Other forms that are being updated
are: The Funding Application (HUD
52515); the Request for Tenancy
Approval (HUD–2517); and Allowances
for Tenant-Furnished Utilities and
Other Services (HUD 5267). Three new
documents each will be added for the
Family Unification Program application
process and the HUD–VASH
Application Process. Additionally, the
forms will be updated to remove
outdated references (such as those to the
Certificate Program). Such updates do
not result in an increase in burden
hours.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
State and Local Governments,
businesses or other non-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2,192 PHAs.
Estimated Number of Responses:
3.680,493.
Frequency of Response: Varies by
form.
Average Hours per Response: 1.
Total Estimated Burdens Hours:
1,643,173.
B. Solicitation of Public Comment
This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of
information described in Section A on
the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
