SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Flat Rent Exception
Request Market Analysis.
OMB Approval Number: Pending.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD-5880.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
form will streamline the process and reduce burden on PHAs when
submitting a market analysis as part of a flat rent exception request
in accordance with Notice PIH 2015-13(HA), which implements Section 238
of Title II of Public Law 113-235, the Department of Housing and Urban
Development Appropriations Act of 2015. Notice PIH 2015-13(HA) allows
PHAs to request flat rents that are based on the local rental market
conditions, when the PHA can demonstrate through a market analysis that
the FMRs are not reflective of the local market. The current submission
process does not stipulate a template for PHA submissions, therefore
PHAs spend widely varying amounts of time and effort compiling
information which may or may not facilitate HUD's review of their
request.
Respondents: Public Housing Authorities (PHAs).

<bullet> Frequency of response/responses per annum = 1/1 (PHAs make one
submission per fiscal year)

by a housing specialist in a PHA responsible for collecting market data
<bullet> Annual cost = 400 * $17.11
B. Solicitation of Public Comment
This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and
affected parties concerning the collection of information described in
Section A on the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond; including through the use of appropriate

these questions.
