A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Public
Housing Annual Contributions
Contractor and Inventory Removal
Application.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0075.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD–51999; HUD–
52190A; HUD–52190B; HUD–52840–A;
HUD–53012A, HUD–53012B, HUD
52860, HUD 52860–B, HUD 52860–C;
HUD 52860–D; HUD 52860–E, and HUD
52860–F, HUD–52860–G, HUD–5838
and HUD–5837.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD
previously amended this information
collection to consolidate all information
that PHAs are required to submit to
HUD in connection with their
contractual duties to operate public
housing dwelling units and other real
property under the U.S. Housing Act of
1937. Section 5 of the United States
Housing Act of 1937 (Pub. L. 75–412, 50
Stat. 888) permits the Secretary of HUD
to make annual contributions to public
housing agencies (PHAs) to achieve and
maintain the lower income character of
public housing projects. The Secretary
is required to embody the provisions for
such annual contributions in a contract
guaranteeing payment. Applicable
regulations are 24 CFR 941 for public
housing development and 24 CFR 969
for continued operation of low-income
housing after completion of debt
service. This information collection also
covers Public Housing Authority (PHA)
submissions under Sections 18, 22, 33
and 32 that involve the authority of the
HUD Secretary to approve PHA requests
to remove certain public housing
property from their inventories through
demolition, disposition, voluntary
conversion, required conversion, or
homeownership conveyance,
conversion through the Rental
Assistance Demonstration Program
(RAD) (authorized by the Consolidated
and Further Continuing Appropriations
Act of 2012), and any other HUD
approved action that will remove Public
Housing units from the ACC.
This amendment of this collection
does two things. First, it adds
submission requirements (HUD–52860–
G) for when a PHA may choose to
voluntarily apply to HUD to retain nondwelling public housing real property

E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM

01MRN1

10652

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 1, 2016 / Notices

free from public housing use restrictions
under the Annual Contributions
Contract (ACC) and Declaration of Trust
(DOT) pursuant to 2 CFR 200.311(c)(1).
HUD considers retentions under this
section of part 200 a ‘‘removal’’ of
public housing real property even
though the PHA will be retaining
ownership of the property since the
property will no longer be subject to
public housing use restrictions. HUD
will only approve retention requests
when non-dwelling property is no
longer needed for its originally
authorized purpose. Second, it adds
new submission requirements (HUD–
5838 and HUD–5837) to collect
information from any PHA who intends
to remove all of its public housing
dwelling units from its inventory
(through any available law or HUD
program, which may include Sections
18, 22, 33, 32 of the U.S. Housing Act

of 1937 or the Rental Assistance
Demonstration (RAD) program) and will
alert HUD to its future plans for either
termination of the public housing ACC
or development of new dwelling units.
Please note that a PHA who removes all
public housing dwelling units will be
instructed to fill out either HUD–5838
or HUD–5837, not both. HUD will use
the information collected in HUD–5838
to review any PHA requests for
expending Operating or Capital Funds
for eligible closeout activities, for
extension on closeout activities, for
provision of technical assistance to the
PHA during its required closeout
activities, and determine eligibility for
the Asset Repositioning Fee (ARF) or
Demolition or Disposition Transitional
Funding (DDTF). HUD will use the
information in HUD–5837 to monitor
compliance with the Public Housing
ACC following removal of all dwelling

I. Abstract
Research and monitoring findings are
essential to fulfilling USGS’s
responsibility under the Earthquake
Hazards Reduction Act to develop
earthquake hazard assessments and
recording earthquake activity
nationwide. Residents, emergency
responders, and engineers rely on the
USGS for this accurate and scientifically
sound information. The Earthquake
Hazards Program funds external
investigators to carry out these
important activities. In response to our
Program Announcements investigators
submit proposals for research and
monitoring activities on earthquake
hazard assessments, earthquake causes
and effects, and earthquake monitoring.
This information is used as the basis for
selection and award of projects meeting
the USGS’s Earthquake Hazards
Program objectives. Final reports of
research and monitoring findings are
required for each funded proposal;
annual progress reports are required for
awards of a two- to five-year duration.
Final reports are made available to the
public at the Web site http://
earthquake.usgs.gov/research/external/.
