Title of Proposal: Housing Choice Voucher Program: Application, Utilities, Inspection, Financial Reports, Request for Lease Approval, Certificate of Family Participation, Housing Voucher, Portability Information, Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) Contracts-Tenant-Based.
OMB Control Number: 2577-0169.
Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: Housing Agencies (HAS) will prepare an application for funding which specifies the number of units requested, as well as the HA's objectives and plans for administering the Housing Choice Voucher Program. The application is reviewed by the HUD Field Office and ranked according to the HA's administrative capability, the need for housing assistance, and other factors specified in the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The HAs must establish a utility allowance schedule for all utilities and other services. Units must be inspected, using HUD-prescribed forms to determine if the units meet the housing quality standards (HQS) of the Program. HAs are also required to maintain financial reports in accordance with accepted accounting standards. The required financial statements are similar to those prepared by any responsible business or organization at the end of the fiscal year. The family must complete and submit to the HA a Request for Lease Approval when it finds a unit which is suitable for its needs, a Certificate of Family Participation, and Housing Voucher. Initial HAs will use a standardized form to submit portability information to the receiving HA who will also use the form for monthly portability billing. HAs and Owners will enter into HAP Contacts each providing information on rents, payments, certifications, notifications, and Owner agreement in a form acceptable to the HA.
Agency form numbers: HU-52515, HUD-52517, HUD-52580, HUD-52580-A, HUD-52646, HUD-52665, HUD-52667, HUD-52672, HUD-52673, HUD-52581, HUD-52641, HUD-52641-A, HUD-52642, HUD-52642-A (Forms HUD-52595 and HUD-52663 are canceled.)
Members of the Affected Public: State and Local Governments, businesses or other for profits.
Estimation of the Total Number of Hours Needed to Prepare the Information Collection including the Number of Respondents, Frequency of response, and hours of response: The number of respondents (2500 HAs + 410,000 families + 100,000 tenant-based owners + 100 project-based owners) = 512,600 total respondents, hours per response varies for each form, frequency, annually and on-occasion, total annual burden hours 650,975.1
Footnotes:
1 The cancellation of two forms and the transfer of elevated blood level match which is now covered under Part 35 reduced the burden hours by 6,025 hours. The addition of the information collection in the HAP Contracts will void the decrease keeping the burden hour the same.
Status of the Proposed Information Collection: Extension with change only adding the HAP Contracts.
Authority:
Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: September 30, 2002.
Paula O. Blunt,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
