SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: Public 

Housing Financial Management 

Template. 

OMB Approval Number: 2535–0107. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement of a 

previously approved collection. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: To meet 

the requirements of the Uniform 

Financial Standards Rule (24 CFR part 

5, subpart H) and the asset management 

requirements in 24 CFR part 990, the 

Department developed financial 

management templates that public 

housing agencies (PHAs) use to 

annually submit electronically financial 

information to HUD. HUD uses the 

financial information it collects from 

each PHA to assist in the evaluation and 

assessment of the PHAs’ overall 

condition. Requiring PHAs to report 

electronically has enabled HUD to 

provide a comprehensive financial 

assessment of the PHAs receiving 

federal funds from HUD. 

Respondents: Public Housing 

Agencies (PHAs). 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Burden: The average 

burden hour estimate assumes that there 

are 3,916 PHAs (Low Rent Only, Low 

Rent and Section 8, and Section 8 only 

PHAs) that submit one unaudited 

financial management template 

annually. The average burden hours 

associated with an unaudited financial 

management template is 6.4 hours 

(25,015.5 total hours divided by 3,916 

PHAs). There are 3,538 PHAs that are 

required to or voluntarily submit an 

audited financial management template 

annually. The average burden hours 

associated with an audited financial 

management template is 4.2 hours 

(14,705 total hours divided by 3,538 

PHAs). When added together, the 

average burden hours for a PHA that 

submits both an unaudited and audited 

financial management template is 5.3 

hours, for a total reporting burden of 

39,721 hours. 

B. Solicitation of Public Comment

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to

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.
