SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Extension of Time and Required
Disclosures for Notification of Nonpayment of Rent Information
Collection Request
OMB Approval Numbers:
2577-0006 Public Housing Agency (PHA) Lease Requirements,
Recordkeeping Requirements.
2502-0178 Management Reviews of Multifamily Housing Programs.
Type of Request: Revisions of existing collection 2577-0006, and
2502-0178.
Form Number(s): N/A
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
change to the existing information collection requests (ICRs) will
provide for the burden on public housing agencies and multifamily
owners of properties that receive project-based rental assistance to
provide information to their tenants about Federal funding available
related to a national emergency. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal
Register, HUD is publishing an interim final rule entitled ``Extension
of Time and Required Disclosures for Notification of Nonpayment of
Rent'' (FR-6286-F-01), which provides the Secretary, upon making the
requisite findings and providing the requisite notice, may require
housing providers participating in public housing and properties with
project-based rental assistance (PBRA) to provide tenants facing
eviction for non-payment of rent with notification of and information
about the opportunity to secure emergency funding and additional time
to secure such funding prior to eviction. This Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) amends the existing collections covering notifications for
tenants for failure to pay rent in both the public housing collection,
OMB No. 2577-0006, and the PBRA collection, OMB No. 2502-0178, to
account for the additional burden of providing the additional notice to
tenants in advance of an eviction with information about the
opportunity to secure emergency funding and additional time to secure
such funding prior to eviction.
HUD estimates a total of 217,000 households will be helped from
receiving this eviction notification. HUD distributes that number
amongst the programs' collections and number of PHAs and multifamily
owners. HUD anticipates the burden on the PHA and owners to be updating
their standard lease termination notice with the new information,
either by incorporating it into the notice, where applicable, or by
providing it as a separate addendum. Providing the notice would not
create additional burdens, as PHA and owners are already required to
provide a notification when a household fails to pay rent. Thus, HUD
anticipates minimal additional costs for this notice requirement.
Finally, for the public housing program only, the rule requires PHAs to
inform all public housing tenants that the extended timeframe for
notification of lease termination due to nonpayment of rent is in
effect, and that families will be provided information on available
funding in that 30-day notification.+
