Title of Proposal: Annual Adjustment 

Factor (AAF) Rent Increase 

Requirements. 

OMB Control Number, if applicable:

2502–0507. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: On 

September 28, 1994, Congress enacted 

the Housing Appropriations Act that 

authorized HUD’s spending authority 

for Fiscal Year 1995. Among the many 

measures developed in the bill, 

emphasis was placed on utilizing the 

mechanism in the Section 8 Housing 

Assistance Payment (HAP) contract 

language that permits an analysis on the 

reasonableness of the Annual 

Adjustment Factor (AAF) formula as it’s 

applied to each project unit type. Under 

this law, review of the AAF under the 

Overall Limitation clause of the HAP 

contract would apply only to Section 8 

New Construction and Substantial 

Rehabilitation properties where Section 

8 rent levels for a unit type presently 

exceed the published existing housing 

fair market rents (FMR’s). For Section 8 

New Construction and Substantial 

Rehabilitation properties where rent 

levels for particular unit type do not 

exceed the existing AFMR and for all 

other Section 8 contract types without 

regard for current rent level, review 

under the overall-limitation clause of 

the contract would not occur and the 

method of rent adjustment would be the 

appropriately published AAF. 

Agency form numbers, if applicable:

HUD 92273–S8. 

Estimation of the total number of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: The number of 

respondents is 3,000, the frequency of 

responses is annual, the estimated time 

to complete response is 1.50 hours, and 

the total burden hours requested is 

4,950. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Extension of a previously 

approved collection for which approval 

has expired,
