Abstract: 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.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: Adjustments made to this collection reflect changes in calculations based on the total number of current, active PHAs to date, and to the hourly cost per response estimate. The number of active public housing agencies (respondents) has changed from 2,774 to 2,667 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 RAD. HUD increased the estimate of the total annual cost burden to respondents due to an increase in the hourly cost per response estimate. The burden table for respondents (item 12) are updated to the most recent data available from BLS.
