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

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Restrictions on Assistance to
Noncitizens and Authorization To Release Information/Privacy Act.
OMB Approval Number: 2577-0295.
Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD-9886-A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This
is a request for a revision of a currently approved collection for HUD
to require applicants and tenants to sign the form HUD-9886-A. The
information collected through this PRA assist public housing agencies
(PHAs) in eligibility determinations for applicable HUD-assisted
housing programs and assist HUD in managing and monitoring these
programs. Applicants and tenants applying for or receiving assistance
in the Housing Choice Voucher, Public Housing, or Section 8 Moderate
Rehabilitation programs are required to sign the Authorization for the
Release of Information/Privacy Act Notice (Public and Indian Housing
form HUD-9886-A).
Further, this PRA covers the burden associated with the
verification required by Section 214 of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1980, as amended, (42 U.S.C. 1436a), which prohibits
HUD from making financial assistance available to persons who are
ineligible for assistance with respect to citizenship or non-citizen
immigration status and applies to both applicants for assistance and
persons already receiving assistance under: (1) Section 235 of the
National Housing Act (the Section 235 Program); (2) Section 236 of the
National Housing Act (tenants paying below market rent only) (the
Section 236 Program); (3) Section 101 of the Housing and Urban
Development Act of 1965 (the Rent Supplement Program); and the United
States Housing Act of 1937--(i) HUD's Public Housing Programs; (ii)
Section 8 Housing Assistance Programs; and (iii) the Housing
Development Grant Programs (with respect to low income units only).
This PRA covers the following programs under Section 214: Housing
Choice Voucher, Public Housing, and Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation.
Though there is no OMB form associated with the requirements of Section
214, the burden associated with the verification is included in this
PRA, because for U.S. citizens or U.S. nationals, each family member,
regardless of age, must submit a signed declaration of U.S. citizenship
or U.S. nationality. For noncitizens who are 62 years of age or older
and receiving assistance or applying for assistance, they must provide
a signed declaration of eligible immigration status and proof of age
document. For all other noncitizens, they are required to submit: (1) a
signed declaration of eligible immigration status; (2) the original of
a document designated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) as acceptable evidence of immigration status; and (3) a signed
verification consent form.
