foreclosure for single-family mortgages

the rate for homeownership in the
metropolitan area or, in the case of any
area not located within a metropolitan

information:
Title of Proposal: Public Housing
Operating Fund—Stop Loss and
Appeals.
OMB Control Number: Pending.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: PHAs
that will experience a reduction in
subsidy will have their subsidy
reduction phased in over a five-year
period. PHAs that elect to stop the
phase in of the decrease in their subsidy
are required to demonstrate to HUD a
successful conversion to asset
management, as provided in the
operating fund final rule. A PHA with
a reduction in subsidy may make this
demonstration to HUD in order to ‘‘stop
its losses’’ during any one of the five
years over which HUD phases in the
reduction. Under the operating fund
final rule, PHAs that elect to file an
appeal of their subsidy amounts are
required to meet the appeal
requirements set forth in subpart G of
the operating fund final rule. The final
rule establishes five grounds for appeals
in 24 CFR 990.245 and they are the: (a)

Streamlined appeal; (b) appeal of
formula income for economic hardship;
(c) appeal for specific local conditions;
(d) appeal for changing market
conditions; and (e) appeal to substitute
actual project cost data. To stop the
phase-in of the reduction in the amount
of subsidy a PHA receives under the
new operating fund formula, PHAs
submit a ‘‘stop loss’’ package to HUD
demonstrating conversion to asset
management. To appeal the amount of
subsidy on any one of the permitted
bases of appeal, PHAs submit an appeal
request to HUD.
Agency form number, if applicable:
N/A.
Members of affected public: Public
housing agencies.
Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents: The estimated number of
respondents is 805 PHAs that submit
one request for stop loss and 1,255
PHAs that submit an appeal of the
amount of operating subsidy, for a total
2,060 PHAs that submit annually. The
average number for each PHA response
varies by size of the PHA, with a total
reporting burden of 36,025 hours: An
average of 20.37 hours per respondent
for stop loss; and an average of 11.71
hours per respondent for appeals.
Status of the proposed information
collection: New collection.
Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35,
as amended.
Dated: April 24, 2006.
