SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Statutorily-Mandated Collection of
Information for Tenants in LIHTC Properties.
OMB Approval Number: 2528-0230.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD-52695 (HUD LIHTC Property Data Collection Form);
HUD-52697 (HUD LIHTC Tenant Data Collection Form).
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
Section 2835(d) of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, or HERA,
(Pub. L. 110-289, approved July 30, 2008) amends Title I of the U.S.
Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.) (1937 Act) to add a new
section 36 (codified as 42 U.S.C. 1437z-8) that requires each state
agency administering tax credits under section 42 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (low-income housing tax credits or LIHTC) to
furnish HUD, not less than annually, information concerning the race,
ethnicity, family composition, age, income, use of rental assistance
under section 8(o) of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 or other similar
assistance, disability status, and monthly rental payments of
households residing in each property receiving such credits through
such agency.
New section 36 requires HUD to establish standards and definitions
for the information to be collected by state agencies and to provide
states with technical assistance in establishing systems to compile and
submit such information and, in coordination with other federal
agencies administering housing programs, establish procedures to
minimize duplicative reporting requirements for properties assisted
under multiple housing programs. In 2010, OMB approved the first
collection instrument used for the collection of LIHTC household
information (expiration date 05/31/2013). The form was subsequently
approved with expiration dates of June 30, 2016, May 31, 2019, and
August 31, 2022. Renewal of this form is required for HUD to remain in
compliance with the statute.
Respondents: State and local LIHTC administering agencies.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 61.
Estimated Number of Responses: 122.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Average Hours per Response: 48.
Total Estimated Burdens: 2,928 hours.
