This information collection is required to identify families who no longer participate in a HUD rental assistance program due to adverse termination of tenancy and/or assistance, and owe a debt to a Public Housing Agency (PHA). The information is used by PHAs to determine a familyâs suitability for rental assistance, and avoid providing limited Federal housing assistance to families who have previously demonstrated an inability to comply with HUD program requirements or who have an unpaid debt to a PHA.
The reasons for the adjustments in Item 13 on OMB Form 83-I are threefold.
13a. Number of Respondents (PHAs with EIV Access)
PRA 2016 = 3937
PRA 2019 = 3834
= 103 (Decrease of PHAs)
13b. Total Annual Responses (Monthly)
PRA 2016 = 3937 x 12 months = 47,244
PRA 2019 = 3834 x 12 months = 46,008
= 1,236 (Decrease)
13c. Total Annual Hours Requested
PRA 2016 = 26,177 (314,257) families EOPâd x 0.0833 (5 minutes)
PRA 2019 = 24,841 (298,216) families EOPâd x 0.0833 (5 minutes)
= 1,336 (Decrease)
(1). In PIC there are fewer PHAs than there were at the time of the previous request for a Revision of this PRA. This reduces the number of respondents and total annual responses.
(2). During the time period used to estimate the burden hours for this extension (March 1, 2018 through February 28, 2019), the number of families in PIC that ended participation in PIH programs was lower than during the previous period used to make the burden hour estimate.
(3). The Department of Labor Bureauâs 2017 median rate of pay for community and social service occupations increased from $21.03/per hour in the previous submission to $23.07/per hour currently. This increases the annual burden hour estimate.
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).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
