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
September 18, 2024 at 89 FR 76500.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Public Housing--Contracting with
Resident-Owned Businesses.
OMB Control Number: 2577-0161.
Type of Request: Extension of previously approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: PHAs
that entered into contracts with resident-owned businesses prior to
December 26, 2014, must comply with the requirements/procedures set
forth in, 24 CFR 85.36(h), and 24 CFR 85.36(i). Contracts with
resident-owned businesses entered into after December 26, 2014, must
comply with 24 CFR part 963, 2 CFR 200.325, and 2 CFR 200.326 and other
such contract terms that may be applicable to the procurement under the
Department's regulations. These requirements include:
<bullet> Certified copies of any State, county, or municipal
licenses that may be required of the business to engage in the type of
business activity for which it was formed. Where applicable, the PHA
must obtain a certified copy of its corporate charter or other
organizational document that verifies that the business was properly
formed in accordance with State law;
<bullet> Certification that shows the business is owned by
residents, disclosure documents that indicate all owners of the
business and each owner's percentage of the business along with
sufficient evidence sufficient that demonstrates to the satisfaction of
the PHA that the business has the ability to perform successfully under
the terms and conditions of the proposed contract;
<bullet> Certification as to the number of contracts awarded, and
the dollar amount of each contract award received, under the
alternative procurement process; and
<bullet> Contract award documents, proof of bonding documents,
independent cost estimates and comparable price analyses.
Members of affected public: Public Housing Agencies, and Applicable
Resident Entrepreneurs Estimation of the total number of hours needed
to prepare the information collection including number of respondents,
frequency of response, and hours of response: Estimated number of
respondents: 75. The calculation for burden hours is as follows:
Calculation for number of respondents: 75 (estimated number of PHAs
contracting with resident owned businesses) x 24 (number of hours for
procurement process) = 1,800 total hours. The Department estimates that
out of a total of 3,763 PHAs only 2 percent or 75 PHAs contract with
resident owned business. This number is less than the previous request
due to several PHAs choosing to leave the program, but the Department
anticipates there may have been more business or contracting
opportunities particularly during the pandemic.

obtained from <a href="https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Public-Housing-Authority-Salary">https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Public-Housing-Authority-Salary</a>, or $30.95 per hour as computed using the 2,087-Hour
Divisor. The calculation for costs is as follows: 75 PHAs x 24 hours =
1,800 hours x $30.95 = $55,710.
