Pursuant to the 1996 MTW Statute and
2016 MTW Expansion Statute (Section 239 of the Fiscal Year 2016
Appropriations Act, P.L. 114-113), Appendix I of the MTW Operations
Notice provides waivers of certain provisions of the 1937 Act as
well as the implementing requirements and regulations. The MTW HAP
Rider is being added to the Housing Assistance Payments Contract
for the Section 8-Tenant Based Assistance Housing Choice Voucher
Program and the Section 8 Project-Based Voucher Program to ensure
that any particular provisions of the HAP Contract differ from or
conflict with the MTW activities included in the PHA’s approved MTW
Supplement to its PHA Plan, that the provisions of the MTW
Operations Notice and the approved MTW Supplement to the PHA Plan
will supersede any conflicting or differing HAP Contract language.
The MTW HAP Rider will have no significant impact on information
collection burden.
Additional paperwork items have
been added due to changes implemented by the Housing Opportunities
Through Modernization (HOTMA) of 2016. The project-based voucher
(PBV) program requires several notices for PHA-owned units. Based
on recent history, the number of anticipated applications for
voucher assistance has decreased. Since tenant-based voucher units
are re-inspected every two years at the PHA’s option and only a
portion of PBV units are re-inspected every two years, there was a
slight decrease in burden hours for inspections. There were other
minor changes in the number of respondents and burden hours. There
was also a decrease in the number of PHAs from 2,224 to 2,192 since
the last submission. 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). Changes to
these forms are to conform with HOTMA requirements, with new
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) requirements, and other updated
requirements relating to the HCV program. Other forms that are
being updated are: the funding application (HUD 52515); the request
for tenancy approval (HUD-52517); and allowances for
tenant-furnished utilities and other services (HUD 52667). Three
new forms each have been added for the Family Unification Program
application process and the HUD-VASH application process.
Additionally, the forms have been updated to remove outdated
references (such as those to the certificate program). Such updates
do not result in an increase in burden hours. The form HUD-96011
(Third Party Documentation Facsimile Transmittal) is no longer
used. The Family Unification Program (FUP) has been added to this
PRA and removed from the PRA of its own. Finally, adjustments
include the inclusion of the Tribal HUD-VASH collection
requirements, based on the Federal Register Notice, “Implementation
of the Tribal HUD-VA Supportive Housing Program” (FR 6091-N-01) and
renewal funding criteria established in PIH Notice 2018-10,
“Procedural Guidance for Tribal HUD-VA Supportive Housing Renewal
Grant Applications.”
