SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A.
The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60 days was published on August
31, 2022 at 87 FR 53484.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Housing Opportunity Through
Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA): Public Housing Waiting List Data
Collection Tool.
OMB Approval Number: 2577-XXXX.
Type of Request: New Collection.
Form Number: Form HUD-XXXXX.
Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use:
This collection of information implements a statutory requirement
made by Section 103 of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization
Act of 2016 (HOTMA). HOTMA was signed into law on July 29, 2016 (Public
Law 114-201, 130 Stat. 782). Section 103 of HOTMA amends section 16(a)
of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437n(a)) (1937
Act).
Section 103 of HOTMA states that after a public housing family has
been over-income for two consecutive years, a public housing agency
(PHA) must either: (1) charge the over-income family a monthly rent
that is the higher of fair market rent under section 8(c) for the
dwelling unit or the monthly amount of public housing subsidy provided
for the dwelling unit; or (2) terminate the
[[Page 105]]
tenancy of the over-income family no later than 6 months after the end
of the two-year period. Additionally, pursuant to section 103 of HOTMA,
PHAs must submit an annual report on two specific data points: 1. The
number of over-income families residing in public housing and 2. the
number of families on the public housing waiting lists.
The number of over-income families currently residing in public
housing is already being collected via the form HUD-50058. Therefore,
PHAs will be allowed to use income data already provided by form HUD-
50058, under OMB approval number 2577-0083, which is submitted
electronically in the PIH Information Center (PIC) system to satisfy
the first data requirement to report the annual number of over-income
families residing in public housing. The requirement for PHAs to report
on the number of over-income families will be satisfied with currently-
existing 50058 reporting requirements and HUD will compile this with
the data provided on the number of families on the public housing
waiting list for the public report.
The requirement for PHAs to report on the number of families on the
public housing waiting list is new and so has resulted in the need to
for this collection of information request. Each PHA will now be
required to submit the total number of families on the public housing
waiting lists annually utilizing the newly created electronic Public
Housing Waiting List Data Collection Tool. The data on the total number
of unduplicated families on the public housing waiting list will be
provided by the PHA in the aggregate and no personally identifiable
information will be collected. Section 103 of HOTMA permits HUD to
determine the format of these annual reports and HUD has elected to
utilize PIC data when possible as this will result in no additional
burden to the PHA. Per the requirements of Section 103 of HOTMA, HUD
will compile the data provided in PIC and the new data that will be
collected via the electronic Public Housing Waiting List Data
Collection Tool to publish this information annually in a publicly
available report.
Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,774 (This number excludes HCV-
only PHA's).
Estimated Number of Responses: 2,774 (This number excludes HCV-only
PHA's).
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Average Hours per Response: 0.5 of an hour (30 min).
Total Estimated Burdens: 1,387 hours.
