SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Chapter 35, as amended). This Notice is

concerning the revised collection of 

information to: (1) Evaluate whether the

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (3) enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

through the use of appropriate 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

This Notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: Public Housing 

Assessment System Appeals, Technical 

Reviews and Database Adjustments. 

OMB Control Number: 2577–0257. 

1. Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use: Section 

502 of the National Affordable Housing 

Act of 1990, as amended by the Quality 

Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 

1998 (QHWRA), implements section 6(j) 

of the United States Housing Act of 

1937 (the Act). Section 6(j) establishes 

specific assessment indicators and 

directs the Secretary to develop 

additional indicators to assess the 

management performance of public 

housing agencies (PHAs) in all major 

areas of management operations. The 

four Public Housing Assessment System 

(PHAS) indicators under the new 

proposed PHAS rule are: Physical 

condition; financial condition; 

management operations; and Capital 

Fund Program. A PHA is designated as 

troubled if it fails to perform under the 

assessment indicators, or if it is unable 

to administer the program for assistance 

from the Capital Fund Program. 

Pursuant to § 6(j)(2)(A)(iii) of the Act, 

HUD is required to establish procedures 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 23, 2011 / Notices 10045 

for a PHA to appeal its troubled 

designation. The proposed PHAS 

interim rule at § 902.69 provides the 

opportunity for a PHA to appeal its 

troubled designation, petition for the 

removal of troubled designation, or 

appeal its score. 

The proposed PHAS interim rule at 

§ 902.68 affords PHAs the opportunity 

to request a technical review of its 

physical condition inspection or, at 

§ 902.24, a database adjustment if 

certain conditions are present. A 

technical review of the physical 

condition inspection may be requested 

if a PHA believes that an objectively 

verifiable and material error(s) occurred 

in the inspection of an individual 

property. A database adjustment may be 

requested by a PHA due to facts and 

circumstances affecting a project which 

are not reflected in the physical 

condition inspection or which are 

reflected inappropriately in the physical 

condition inspection. 

HUD uses the data it collects from 

program participants (PHAs) to evaluate 

the four individual PHAS indicators and 

to determine an overall PHAS score for 

each PHA, and to determine the 

physical condition scores for individual 

projects. The overall PHAS score 

determines if a PHA’s performance is 

high, standard, substandard or troubled, 

including Capital Fund Program 

troubled. PHAs may request an appeal 

of its overall PHAS score, or a technical 

review or database adjustment of their 

physical condition score. These requests 

are submitted by letter from the PHA to 

HUD, and the letter includes 

documentation to justify the request. 

HUD reviews the request and 

accompanying documentation, and 

makes a determination as to whether to 

grant or deny the request based on what 

the PHA has submitted. These 

information collections are described in 

the proposed PHAS interim rule, with 

thorough definitions of each request. 

The granting of an appeal, technical 

review or database adjustment may 

change a PHA’s designation, usually to 

a higher level. 

Agency form numbers: None. 

Members of affected public: Public 

housing agencies. 

Estimation of the total number of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents: 1,700 respondents 

annually with 1 response per 

respondent. Average time per response 

for each form is 5.2 hours and total 

annual burden hours is 8,840. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Revision of a currently 

approved collection. 

Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, 

as amended. 

Dated: November 22, 2010. 

Merrie Nichols-Dixon, 

Acting Deputy, Assistant Secretary for Office 

of Policy, Programs and Legislative Initiatives.

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

This Notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: ’’eLogic Model’’ 

Grant Performance Report Standard’’. 

OMB Approval Number: 2535–0114. 

Form Number: The agency form 

number is HUD 96010, each program 

utilizing the Logic Model will have the 

same form number and the Program 

Name following the number to associate 

the logic model to the specific program. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

revised form, which is an attachment to 

HUD Federal Financial Assistance 

applications. HUD uses standardized 

points for evaluating Logic Models 

submitted under Rating Factor 5, 

Achieving Results and Program 

Evaluation for programs using the Logic 

Model. The decision to standardize the 

basis for rating the Logic Model resulted 

from review of submitted Logic Models 

and rating factor narrative statements, 

and training sessions held with HUD 

staff and the applicant community. By 

standardizing the rating for the Logic 

Model submission, HUD believes that a 

greater understanding will be gained on 

the use and relationship of the Logic 

Model to information submitted as part 

of the Rating Factors for award. The 

standardization of the Logic Model 

submission in Rating Factor 5 highlights 

the relationship between the narratives 

produced in response to the factors for 

award, stated outputs and outcomes, 

and discrepancies or gaps that have 

been found to exist in submitted Logic 

Models. HUD also believes that the 

standardization will strengthen the use 

of the Logic Model as a management 

and evaluation tool. The Logic Model is 

a tool that integrates program operations 

and program accountability. It links 

program operations (mission, need, 

intervention, projected results, and 

actual results), and program 

accountability (measurement tool, data
