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: Section 8 Management Assessment
Program (SEMAP).
OMB Control Number: 2577-0215.
Type of Request: Reinstatement, without change, of previously
approved collection for which approval has expired.
Agency Form Numbers: HUD-52658.
Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: On an
annual basis (or every two years for small agencies) PHAs are required
to submit a SEMAP certification (form HUD-52648) electronically into
the Information Management System/Public and Indian Housing Information
Center (IMS/PIC). There is a maximum of 15 indicators that are either
verified through PIC data or an on-site or off-site confirmatory
review. HUD uses the PHA's SEMAP certification, together with other
available data, to assess PHA management capabilities and deficiencies,
and to assign an overall performance rating to each PHA administering a
HCV program. HUD rates a PHA on each SEMAP indicator, completes a PHA
SEMAP profile identifying any program management deficiencies and
assigns an overall performance rating. A PHA's written report of
correction of a SEMAP deficiency is used as documentation that the PHA
has taken action to address identified program weaknesses. Where HUD
assigns an overall performance rating of troubled, the PHA's corrective
action plan is used to monitor the PHA's progress on program
improvements.
Respondents: Public Housing Agencies.
