SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is 
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in 
Section A.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Flat Rent Exception 
Request Market Analysis.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0290.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-5880.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: Form 
HUD-5880 streamlines the process and reduces burden on PHAs when 
submitting a market analysis as part of a flat rent exception request 
in accordance with Notice PIH 2022-33, which implements Section 238 of 
Title II of Public Law 113-235, the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development Appropriations Act of 2015. Notice PIH 2022-33 allows PHAs 
to request flat rents that are based on the local rental market 
conditions, when the PHA can demonstrate through a market analysis that 
the Fair Market Rents (FMRs) are not reflective of the local market. 
This version of the form has been in use since FY2023. HUD is adjusting 
the average number of respondents and hourly cost per response to 
reflect the average level of submissions in FY2023, FY2024, and FY2025 
and higher wage estimates from the Occupational Employment and Wage 
Statistics, but HUD is not proposing any changes to the form being 
renewed.
    Respondents: Public Housing Agencies.
