Notice of Submission of Proposed 

Information Collection to OMB; 

Emergency Comment Request; 

Housing Choice Voucher Program 

Administrative Fee Study Notice of 

Proposed Information Collection for 

Public Comment 

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information 

Officer, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed information 

collection. 

SUMMARY: The proposed information 

collection requirement described below 

has been submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

emergency review and approval, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act. The Department is soliciting public 

comments on the subject proposal. 

This request is for the clearance of onsite data collection from public housing 

agencies (PHAs). The proposed data 

collection has three purposes: (1) To 

identify a sample of PHAs that are 

verified to be operating high-performing 

and efficient HCV programs, (2) to test 

alternative methods of measuring time 

spent on administrative functions in the 

HCV program, and (3) to collect 

information on the factors that affect 

administrative costs in the HCV 

program. The proposed data collection 

will take place through site visits to 60 

PHAs and will include interviews with 

PHA staff, interviews with program 

partners, and reviews of client files and 

administrative data collected by the 

PHA, included documentation related to 

the HCV program budget. In addition, at 

5 of the 60 sites the research team will 

beta-test three alternative methods of 

collecting data on PHA staff time spent 

on the range of activities required to 

administer the HCV program. The 

results of the site visits and beta-tests 

will be used to develop the research 

design, sampling approach, and data 

collection instruments for a national 

study of the costs of administering the 

HCV program based on direct 

measurement of staff and other program 

costs among a sample of highperforming HCV programs. The results 

of this national study—for which 

separate OMB clearance will be 

sought—will be used to estimate 

administrative fees and develop a new 

administrative fee allocation formula for 

the HCV program. 

DATES: Comments Due Date: January 27, 

2011. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit comments regarding 

this proposal. Comments must be 

received within thirty (30) days from the 

date of this Notice. Comments should

Voucher Program Administrative Fee 

Study) and should be sent to: Ross A.

Management and Budget, New

OMB Control Number: 2528–NEW. 

Agency Form Numbers: None. 

Members of Affected Public: Up to 

375 public housing agency staff persons 

(an average of 5 staff members at each 

of the 60 sites, plus up to 15 staff 

members at the 5 beta-test sites) and up 

to 180 staff from partner organizations 

(an average of 3 representatives of 

partner organizations at each of the 60 

sites). 

Estimation of the total numbers of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of responses, 

and hours of response: The average time 

for a PHA staff person to complete the 

interview is 1.5 hours. Up to 5 PHA staff 

will be interviewed per site, for a 

maximum estimated burden for the PHA 

staff interviews of 600 hours (300 

people times 2 hours per person). In 

addition, up to 3 representatives of 

program partners will be interviewed 

per site, for a maximum estimated 

burden for the program partner 

interviews of 180 hours (180 people 

times 1 hour per person). Finally, at the 

5 beta-test sites, up to 15 PHA staff will 

spend up to 20 minutes per day for 5 

days documenting time spent on various 

activities related to voucher program 

administration, for a maximum 

estimated staff burden of 127.5 hours 

(75 people times 1.7 hours per person). 

These same staff will also participate in 

1 hour of training related to the beta-test 

data collection, for a maximum staff 

burden of 75 hours (75 staff times 1 

hour per person). The total estimated 

burden across the three data collection 

activities for the study is 980 hours.
