A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Elements for the Annual MTW Plan and
Annual MTW Report.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0216.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: 50900.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: All
public housing authorities (PHA) are
required to submit a five (5) year plan
and annual plans as stated in Section
5A of the 1937 Act, as amended. Moving
to Work (MTW) PHAs that are subject to
the Standard MTW Agreement submit
an Annual MTW Plan and Annual MTW
Report (also known as the HUD Form
50900) in lieu of the standard annual
and 5 year PHA plans.
The Standard MTW Agreement was
developed in 2007 and was transmitted
to the existing MTW agencies in January
2008. As additional MTW PHAs were
selected they too were provided with
the Standard MTW Agreement. 39 MTW
PHAs (known as the ‘‘Initial’’ MTW
PHAs) currently operate under this
agreement. In 2016, HUD extended the
term of the Standard Agreement to the
end of each agency’s 2028 Fiscal Year
(FY).

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001

The HUD Form 50900 is a required
element as part of the Standard MTW
Agreement and contains important
information regarding the MTW PHA’s
upcoming FY activities and a
retrospective look back at the MTW
PHA’s preceding FY. HUD collects the
information in this form in order to
evaluate the impacts of MTW activities,
accurately and timely respond to
congressional and other inquiries
regarding outcome measures, and
identify promising practices learned
through the MTW demonstration.
Revisions are being made to the HUD
Form 50900 to reduce the reporting and
administrative burden on MTW PHAs.
All standard metrics within the HUD
Form 50900 that were previously
required for MTW activities will be
eliminated, though they will remain
optional for MTW PHAs to report. In
addition to eliminating previously
required standard metrics, MTW PHAs
will now have the option to share an
annual narrative, self-reported PHA
data, and participant success stories. In
lieu of the agency-reported standard
metrics, HUD will pull data already
reported by the agencies through
required HUD systems. This will reduce
burden on the agencies.
Updates have been made to specify if
MTW PHAs are seeking to apply MTW
Activities to any of its Special Purpose
Voucher (SPV) types. This will reduce
burden on MTW PHAs, by streamlining
and replacing the current SPV MTW
waiver separate approval process for
Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs),
HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive
Housing (HUD–VASH) vouchers and
Stability Vouchers (SVs). Also, SPVs are
included in an MTW PHA’s planned
leasing forecast for the upcoming Fiscal
Year in order to provide a more
comprehensive estimate of planned
households served within the MTW
PHA’s portfolio. Based on public
comments received, other changes
include aligning planned new public
housing bedroom size categories with
HUD systems, and an optional narrative
to report on unique households served
through local, non-traditional rental
services programs such as short-term
rental assistance, rapid rehousing,
emergency housing, etc., and a
description section to indicate whether
waiting list are site-based or agencywide for public housing.
Through the Annual MTW Plan and
Report, each MTW PHA will continue to
inform HUD, its residents and the
public of the PHA’s mission for serving
the needs of low-income and very lowincome families, and the PHA’s strategy
for addressing those needs. The Annual

PO 00000

Frm 00054

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

MTW Plan, like the Annual PHA Plan,
provides an easily identifiable source by
which residents, participants in tenantbased programs, and other members of
the public may locate policies, rules,
and requirements concerning the PHA’s
operations, programs, and services.
The appropriations act in 2016
authorized an additional 100 MTW slots
and additional slots may be added
through future appropriations acts.
Eligible applicants interested in
obtaining MTW designation are required
to submit applications to HUD, as
explained in the applicable HUD Notice.
The information collection covers the
information needed from applicants to
determine which applicants should be
selected. The information provided
demonstrates the applicants’ plans to
implement a local MTW program and
includes related applicant history. The
application includes such information
as narrative exhibits, certifications, data
forms, and supporting documentation.
The information will be used by HUD
staff to evaluate threshold requirements
and review applications.
Respondents (i.e., affected public):
The respondents to this PRA are the 39
Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) that
had MTW designation as of December
15, 2015 and potential applicants that
may be submitting applications to
participate in the program.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The estimated number of respondents is
39.
Estimated Number of Responses:
There are 78 submissions per year,
reflecting the 39 PHAs. Each submission
is comprised of 7 sections each
requiring a response. All 7 sections are
completed with the first annual
submission (Plan), and 5 of the 7
sections are completed with the second
annual submission (Report). This results
in a total of 2 submissions per PHA,
across all 39 affected PHAs or 78 total
responses, that include 468 sections.
Frequency of Response: MTW PHAs
complete requirements associated with
this Form twice per year (Plan and
Report). In the Plan, the PHA completes
each of the 7 sections of the Form. In the
Report, the PHA completes only 5 of the
7 sections of the Form.
Average Hours per Response: The
estimated average burden is 33 hours
per response (or 66 total hours per year).
Total Estimated Burdens: The total
estimated burdens are 66, given each
PHA completes the form twice per year
(Plan and Report).

Title of Information Collection:

Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Office of Policy Development and
Research (PD&R), at the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), is proposing the
collection of information for the
Relocation Options study.
Increasing threats of natural hazards
due to climate change may necessitate
the movement of households or entire
communities to mitigate risk to people
and properties. This research will
conduct analysis of the efficacy of
buyouts, relocation, and resettlement in
mitigating hazard risk exposure; assess
the potential adverse outcomes,
inequities, and opportunity of such
programs; and determine the needed
capacity and coordination of Federal,
state, and local levels to enable
successful buyout, relocation, and
resettlement initiatives. The goal of this
research is to improve equity in how
disaster recovery and mitigation funds
are used for households that participate
