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 30,
2023 at 88 FR 34514.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Allocation of Operating Funds
under the Operating Fund Formula: Data Collection.
OMB Approval Number: 2577-0029.
Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collections.
Form Number: HUD-52722, HUD-52723, and HUD-52719.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
Public
[[Page 71376]]
Housing Agencies (PHAs) use this information in budget submissions
which are reviewed and approved by HUD field offices as the basis for
obligating the operating fund grant. This information is necessary to
calculate the eligibility for the operating fund grant under the
Operating Funding Program regulations, as amended. The Operating Fund
is designed to provide the amount of operating funds needed for well-
managed PHAs. PHAs submit the information electronically with these
forms.
HUD collects information for the HUD-52723 and HUD-52722 through
web-based forms in the Operating Fund Web Portal. HUD discontinued
using VBA enhanced Excel tools to collect this data after CY 2022. Web-
based forms improve the availability of the forms to PHAs, improve data
integrity, and secure transfer of the data from the PHA to HUD. Web-
based forms should not increase the burden to complete.
HUD executed the collection of the HUD-52719: Small Rural Frozen
Rolling Base (SRFRB) Election and Revision form to implement Section
209(b) of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer
Protection Act, Public Law 115-174. SRFRB allows eligible small and
rural PHAs to freeze a utility's three-year rolling base consumption
that is used to calculate Operating Fund grants from one to twenty
years. With this form PHAs elect to participate, select the utility,
calculate rolling base consumption, and select the term.
