A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Agency (PHA), Lease 
Requirements, Recordkeeping Requirements.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0006.
    Type of Request: Revision with change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Form Number: NA.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Public Housing (PH) dwelling lease and grievance procedures are 
required by the United States Housing Act of 1937, specifically under 
Sections 6(k) and 6(l). These sections outline requirements such as 
establishing administrative grievance procedures for Public Housing 
Agencies (PHAs), utilizing leases with a 12-month term automatically 
renewed except for specific noncompliance instances, and specifying 
lease provisions for families paying the alternative non-public housing 
rent (alternative rent). Detailed regulations can be found in 24 CFR 
part 966--Public Housing Lease and Grievance Procedure, Subpart A--
Dwelling Leases, Procedures, and Subpart B--Grievance Procedures and 
Requirements. Upon renting and receiving rental housing assistance, 
residents must sign a lease and acknowledge the grievance procedures, 
as outlined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). 
PHAs are responsible for maintaining records and following these 
procedures, ensuring consistency with HUD's legal and administrative 
obligations.
    The implementation of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization 
Act of 2016 (HOTMA) created new lease requirements in both section 24 
CFR 960.507 and 24 CFR 960.509 and made modifications to section 24 CFR 
966.4 (a)(2)(iii). PHAs must now modify the PH lease to become month-
to-month in the period before termination of an over-income family and 
24 CFR 960.509 explains the new lease requirements for Non-Public 
Housing Over-Income (NPHOI) families. 24 CFR 960.509 stipulates that 
over-income families permitted to continue as tenants must pay the 
alternative rent and sign the lease for NPHOI families no later than 
either the next lease renewal or 60 days after receiving the third 
notification outlined in 24 CFR 960.507(c)(3), whichever comes first. 
HUD specifies various provisions required in leases for NPHOI families, 
including details about lease parties, duration, covered costs, renewal 
or termination procedures, tenant rent and potential charges, usage 
rights, PHA and tenant responsibilities, repair and access obligations, 
lease termination processes, grievance procedures, and modification 
protocols.
