Updates to the information collection on admission and occupancy requirements under the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act (QHWRA), the Public Housing Reform Act and the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA). The statutory requirement is also codified at 24 CFR Part 960. More recently, the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA), section 103, creates a new federally mandated policy for the Admission and Occupancy Requirements specific to the treatment of over-income families.
US Code:
42 USC 1437
Name of Law: The United States Housing Act of 1937
Adjustments made to this collection reflect changes in calculations based on the total number of current, active public housing agencies (PHAs) to date and to the hourly cost per response estimate. The number of active public housing agencies has changed from 2,897 to 2,774 since the last approved information collection request. In general, the number of PHAs can fluctuate due to many factors, including but not limited to the merging of two or more PHAs or the termination of the public housing programs due to the Rental Assistance Demonstration. The estimate for the total annual cost burden to respondents was also increased due to an increase in the hourly cost per response estimate. This was previously incorrectly reported as $4.80 per response in the last approved request.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
