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 May
9, 2023 at 88 FR 29938.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Section 8 Management Assessment
Program (SEMAP).
OMB Control Number: 2577-0215.
Type of Request: Reinstatement, with 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
an 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
[[Page 69958]]
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.
