A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Rental Assistance Demonstration
(RAD); Supporting Contracts and Processing Requirements.
OMB Approval Number: 2502-0612.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Form Number(s): 52611, 52614, 52617, 52619, 52620A, 52620B, 52621A,
52621B, 52624, 52625, 5679, 5977, 5978, 5886, 5887, 5888, 5889, 5890,
5891, 5892, 5893, 5894, 5895, 5896, 5897, 5898, 5899, 5901, 5902, 5903,
5904.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: RAD
is authorized by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations
Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-55, approved November 18, 2011), as amended by
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 (Pub. L. 113-76, approved
January 17, 2014), the Consolidated and Further Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2015 (Pub. L. 113-235, approved December 16, 2014),
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (Pub. L. 114-113, approved
December 18, 2015), the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 (Pub. L.
115-31, approved May 5, 2017), the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2018 (Pub. L. 115-141, approved March 23, 2018), the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2022 (Pub. L. 117-103, approved March 15, 2022),
and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-42, approved
March 9, 2024) (collectively, the ``RAD Statute'').
RAD allows Public Housing, Mod Rehab, Rent Supp, RAP, and 202 PRAC
properties to convert to long-term project-based Section 8 rental
assistance contracts. Participation in the demonstration is voluntary,
and HUD approval is discretionary. Participating Public Housing
Agencies (PHAs) and Multifamily Owners are required to submit
documentation for processing and completing the conversion. Through
these documents (collectively, the RAD documents), HUD evaluates
whether the PHA or owner has met all of the requirements necessary to
complete conversion as outlined in Housing Notice 2019-09/PIH Notice
2019-23 (HA) Rental Assistance Demonstration--Final Implementation
Notice (RAD Notice) Revision 4 and Housing/PIH Notice 2016-17--Rental
Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Notice Regarding Fair Housing and Civil
Rights Requirements and Relocation Requirements Applicable to RAD First
Component--Public Housing Conversions or successor notices. The RAD
processing request is made through a Web-based portal. Overall, the RAD
documents and information requested through such documents allow HUD to
determine which applicants continue to meet the eligibility and
conversion requirements. Finally, all applicants will be required to
sign the appropriate contractual documents to complete conversion and
bind both the applicant and HUD, as well as set forth the rights and
duties of the applicant and HUD, with respect to the converted project
and any payments under that project. This is a revision of a currently
approved collection to include three documents that required edits per
the President's Executive Order 14168 to remove references of
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA). The edit revises
subpart (a) to remove equal access and adds a reference to regulation
24 CFR.5.105(a). Additionally, subpart (b) of Section 2.12 and 2.10
that references the Equal Access Rule is deleted in its entirety.
Documents that include those subparts are:
<bullet> Form 52620B, Part II PBRA Housing Assistance Payments
Contract Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) for Conversions of
Public Housing to Project-Based Section 8 (Component 1).
<bullet> Form 52617, Second Component Housing Assistance Payments
(HAP) Contract RAD for the Conversion of Moderate Rehabilitation to
Project-Based Section 8 (PBRA) Part II.
<bullet> Form 5897, RAD Second Component Project Rental Assistance
Contract (PRAC) Project-Based Section 8 (PBRA) Housing Assistance
Payments (HAP) Contract Part II. In addition to the edits described
above, the RAD/Section 18 Blend Rider to the RAD Use Agreement (Form
5900) is removed from the currently approved collection as the Rider is
no longer applicable. The RAD Supplemental Notice 4C, published January
16, 2025, changed policy to streamline RAD/Section 18 blends by
permitting both RAD units and PBV units resulting from a Section 18
action to be on a single RAD HAP contract.
