Title of Proposal: (1) Section 3 

Summary Report for Economic 

Opportunities for Low- and Very LowIncome Persons and (2) Section 3 

Complaint Register. 

OMB Control Number, if applicable: 

2529–0043. 

Form Number: Form HUD 60002 and 

Form HUD 958. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: This is a

2015 calculation of burden hours. 

Section 3 of the Housing and Urban 

Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 

1701u) (Section 3) mandates recipients 

of covered HUD financial assistance to 

provide employment, training and 

contracting opportunities, to the greatest 

extent feasible, to low- and very lowincome persons, particularly those who 

are recipients of government assistance 

for housing residing in the community 

where the funds are expended, and to 

the businesses that substantially employ 

these persons. The implementing 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
65712 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 245 / Friday, December 21, 2018 / Notices 

regulations are found at 24 CFR part 

135. 

The Section 3 Summary Report (Form 

HUD 60002) is used by recipients of 

HUD financial assistance (i.e., public 

housing agencies, municipalities, and 

property owners) to report the number 

of jobs, training opportunities for 

eligible residents and the dollar amount 

contracting opportunities that have been 

generated from the expenditure of 

covered HUD financial assistance, as 

required at 24 CFR 135.90. Data 

collected on this form is used to assess 

the overall effectiveness of Section 3 

and to make determinations of 

compliance with regulatory 

requirements. 

The Section 3 Complaint Register 

(Form HUD 958) is used by individuals 

and business owners that meet the 

definition of a Section 3 resident or 

business concerns as set forth at 24 CFR 

part 135.5, or their representatives, to 

file complaints alleging noncompliance 

with the regulatory requirements of 

Section 3 against recipients of covered 

HUD financial assistance or their 

contractors. Information collected on 

this form is used to inform the 

Department about recipients that 

potentially are not complying with 24 

CFR part 135, and to initiate subsequent 

complaint investigations and 

compliance reviews. 

Members of the Affected Public 

A. Section 3 Summary Report—Form 

HUD 60002: Staff at public housing 

agencies, municipalities and HUD 

multi-family property owners. 

B. Section 3 Complaint Register— 

Form HUD 958: Low and very lowincome residents and business concerns 

as defined in 24 CFR part 135.5. 

Usage of Information 

A. Section 3 Summary Report—Form 

HUD 60002: The information will be 

used by the Department to monitor 

program recipients’ compliance with 

Section 3 requirements. HUD 

Headquarters will use the information to 

assess the results of the Department’s 

efforts to meet the regulatory objectives; 

make compliance determinations; 

influence enforcement actions; and 

formulate policy decisions. 

B. Section 3 Complaint Register— 

Form HUD 958: Information collected 

on this form will be used to inform the 

Department about recipients who may 

not be in compliance with 24 CFR part 

135, and to initiate subsequent 

complaint investigations and 

compliance reviews.

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of

HUD–958 ..................... 20 1 20 1 20 10.00 200 

The 2015 Burden had a total of 90,180 

hours of burden by adding 10,000 

responses per annum for Form HUD 

60002 to 20 hours for Form HUD 958 

and then multiplying by 9 hours of 

burden. This calculation is incorrect. 

For 2015 the burden should have been 

80,020 hours total. The above 

calculation corrects the number of 

burden hours and reduces the annual 

burden. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Revision of a currently 

approved collection. 

B. Solicitation of Public Comment 

This notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and affected 

parties concerning the collection of 

information described in Section A on 

the following: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of the functions of 

the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) Ways to 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. 

HUD encourages interested parties to 

submit comment in response to these 

questions.
