SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Alternative Inspections--Housing
Choice Voucher Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2577-0287.
Type of Request: Reinstatement without change of a previously
approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: A
public housing agency (PHA) may comply with inspection requirements in
the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program by relying on an alternative
inspection method consistent with the requirements stated in the
program regulations. If the inspection method is not one conducted for
another housing program (HOME Investment Partnerships program, Low-
Income Housing Tax Credits, or that performed by HUD), the PHA must
submit a request to HUD's Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) for
approval of the alternative method. The submission must include a copy
of the inspection method the PHA is requesting to use and an analysis
that shows that the alternative method meets or exceeds Housing Quality
Standards (HQS), as defined in 24 CFR 982.3. Also, PHAs with approved
alternative inspection methods must monitor changes to the standards
and requirements of this method, and, if changes are made, they must
submit to HUD a copy of the revised standards and requirements along
with a revised comparison to HQS. All submissions from PHAs for
alternate inspection methods for review and HUD appeal should be
emailed to REAC at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#ce809d9e879c8b98918fa2baabbca0afbaab87a0bdbeabadbaa7a1a08ea6bbaae0a9a1b8"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ace2fffce5fee9faf3edc0d8c9dec2cdd8c9e5c2dfdcc9cfd8c5c3c2ecc4d9c882cbc3da">[email protected]</span></a>.
